I ate at Thai Tom’s on the Ave for the first time and it was really good. I definitely got plenty of good Thai food this week.

Afterward we headed back to Steve’s apartment for some cutthroat UNO. Holly ripped (accurately) on my card dealing skills and Mary was kicking all of our butts until she had to leave to pick up her brother at the airport.

We took a brief ice cream break at that point and went to MixUp. Jesse and I indulged ourselves in some Decadence (a raspberry, chocolate ice cream, and brownies mix).

I finished up the night with my friends by watching “Better Off Dead”:http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0088794/. I enjoyed the movie, but I was pretty tired and it didn’t seem quite as good as it used to.

I took Mary to her first Theatre Sports at the Market Theatre. It was my second time and completely awesome. The ice skating rink sketch was completely amazing!

My dad was supposed to take me to the airport today. Unfortunately he completely forgot. I still managed to get to Seattle successfully though.

Ironically, with Mary gone this week I ended up only having one day of basketball games and that day was today.

I spent the first game videotaping Team I playing G-Prep. They didn’t play all that great and lost, although Eric Benzel was awesome! He scored 25 points single handedly on shots he mostly created for himself.

In the second game of the night Team II handled Davenport pretty easily and won by about 20.

My apartment has been really hot lately!

I’ve been enjoying a strawberry rhubarb pie that Mary gave me immensely!

I went to my parents house to do some laundry in the new washer. It seemed to work pretty well if a bit slower than the agitator style washers I’m used to.

I watched an hour’s worth of That 70’s Show with Kristen and Nichole. It was pretty amusing.

Today like most Sunday’s ended up being a pretty uneventful day for me. I did get in a nice phone conversation with Mary, who is over in Seattle house sitting for her brother.

My apartment has been pretty hot lately. I may have to pick up a little air conditioner soon.

I did a little bit of shoe shopping today with my mom, Kristen, and Nichole. I ended up buying a pair of black Doc Martens and some navy blue Tommy Hilfigers.

Nichole being the young lady of discerning taste that she is, threatened to beat me with my Tommy’s. She was also worried that I might wear my new Doc’s with shorts and white socks. Give me a little credit Chunky!

Later that afternoon we ditched my mom and went to Election. It was definitely an entertaining yet thoroughly twisted film. Every single character in the movie had things to dislike about them.

Yet another week has come and gone! Yeah Baby Yeah!

I rode my bike to work today again and it was really nice. It’s almost warm enough to go without a windbreaker in the morning.

Once I got to work I continued my research on FileMaker Pro and web integration. The most powerful combination seems to be through a third party application called Lasso. I’m planning on playing with this some over the weekend.

Now what would be a cool online database application?

Work was kind of interesting today.

I started exploring the web publishing aspects of Filemaker Pro 4 and came away fairly impressed. I can’t believe it had never occurred to me to try it out in the last year or so that I’ve been interested in connecting web pages to databases. I think it’s totally something that the School of Education (where I work) could put to good use.

I’m of course still very interested in Frontier and Perl as backends to websites. Definitely plenty of stuff to keep me busy for a long time to come.

Team III had another game and once again struggled against an older and more skilled opponent. We did manage to come alive in the fourth quarter and get it down to two (after a 10+ point deficit) before finally losing by four. The good news is that they have a week of camp to turn things around prior to their next game.
