I've been meaning to write up a really cool post about skiing this weekend, but this post is going to be less than remarkable... basically just a recap.
So we went up to Bohemia. First day of skiing, the weather was great, but the snow was really icy, and it was pretty thin almost everywhere. I really didn't have a problem with it, but my skis weren't enjoying all the rocks. We did end up finding some decent snow, but the majority was crappy. They had the whole Extreme Backcountry blocked off, which really ticked me off as that has the steepest terrain.
Second day, everyone but me decides that we should go ski Indianhead. So we do, and it snowed all day, and there was quite a bit of snow from the day before that had fallen there, so the skiing was pretty sweet. Generally sweet... most powder I've skied all year. AND... the right side (skier's right) t-bar was open! That's the first time that I have skied Indianhead and that t-bar has been open. That definetly is some of their best terrain over there. They seriously should have it open all the time.
Anyhow, enough of mediocre writing. I'll spare you the pain.

The past two days at WCCN
About all I did is type up events for the calendar. Earning my keep, I guess. So if you go to this website, I typed up most of the upcoming event things.

Bohemia
I will be leaving for a little ski trip to MOUNT BOHEMIA!!! in just a little while. Yes, you heard that right: Mount Bohemia. Finally after, many years of wanting to return, I finally will be!
So that means Randomer will be silent for a couple of days... but upon my return, be ready for much Bohemia-ski goodness!

WCCN: The first week
I was up at WCCN twice this week.
The first day, I did not do a whole lot. I watched some more, tried to remember some things, but I did ask him several rather deep music related questions. Good conversation.
The second day, I got to push some buttons! I didn’t get to choose the music or talk, but I got to run the stuff for a little while. It was pretty fun! It isn’t like it was super tough, but when you have to remember to do four different things all at the same time, it can get sort of hectic! He didn’t tell me exactly what to push all the time, I tried to remember from what I had seen him do what I needed to do.
I think my experience with the sound board at church has been advantageous and will continue to be advantageous as I continue to work there. Their sound board is not nearly as complicated as the one at church, but at church, once you get the levels set, you’re pretty much good to go for a while. At the station, there seems to be a lot of adjustments, so the simple controls are counterbalanced by the need to use them more.
Anyhow, it was a load of fun! I can’t wait for next week!

Moving things around
I moved some things around. It should provide quite a bit of additional space for the posts. They were slightly cramped before.

Cinnamon Dolce Lattes cause Blood Blisters (its a natural progression)
Saturday night I went rollerskating with some of my friends at Melody Gardens in Marshfield. We showed up at the rink an hour too early, so we went to Walmart. I knew there was something I needed to buy, but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then it hit me: As Daylight Dies by Killswitch Engage! It must have gotten released recently when I had my back turned, so I just had to pick it up! (I'll probably write a longer dissertation at a later date.)
From there we meandered on over to Starbucks. The only time I had ever been to Starbucks was when I became brace free,and I have been wanting to return ever since. So this time, the 2nd time around, I ordered the same thing: the Cinnamon Dolce Latte. And it was soooo good! It was so much better the second time around! I have been absolutely craving Starbucks ever since!
Eventually we ended up back at the roller rink. It was a great time, and we did a lot of rollerskating. I acquired a very nicely sized blood blister on my foot, and it still hasn't gone away today. I think it was mainly because on the roller rink, you always had to skate the same way. It is all the roller skating peoples' fault.

WCCN: Tomorrow
Last week I called the WCCN People up, and we are on! I now have ed for employment 6th hour, and I just leave school and go to WCCN when they want me. This week, it's Tuesday and Wednesday. I'm pretty pumped! Finally, after a month of phone tag, it has all come together!
On a side note, I wonder what I'm going to do the other days that they don't need me? I could go home and go on the computer there, go out to eat, or do basically anything I want to. They'll have no way of knowing where I'm going when I leave... this is going to be so awesome!

A commentary on life :: " Note to self: Keep bail funds separate from coke"
Note to self: Keep bail funds separate from coke
First off, man gets pulled over for speeding. When he was pulled over, it was discovered that he had 48 grams of cocaine on his person. First off, if I was carrying cocaine around with me, I would try be as discreet as possible; i.e., going the speed limit.
Second, man wants to bail himself out of jail. He tells his mother to bring a safe with cash and cocaine in it to bail himself out. Hmm, let me bring more drugs straight to the police station so they don’t have to bother with a search warrant. That’s pure genius!

I pedaled and pedaled, yet I didn't go anywhere!
I spent pretty much all of yesterday at school reading the newest issue of Bike Magazine. The pictures and articles have been excellent so far, and they are really making me want to do more mountainbiking this year.
So naturally I came home from school pumped up for some biking. This past fall my mom had purchased this resistance stand she could set her mountain bike on and ride it during the winter. She also got a training DVD with it that she claimed was really intense, so I decided to try it.
It was pretty intense, and towards the end of the last couple of fast sections I was really struggling. I wasn’t quite pedaling at the highest gear, but close. The 50 minute work out session was broken down broken down into sections of slow pedaling and fast pedaling. After the fact, I think I was supposed to pedal faster than I did in the slow sections, but shift down into a lower gear at the same time. In any case, I felt like I got a pretty good work out. The way I felt starting off, I’m rather surprised that I made it through the whole routine. I guess I’m in better physical condition than I thought I was.
So yeah, it was fun. I’m looking forward to stepping it up a notch next time!

Snow or Dirt?
It is incredible! The majority of the year I look forward to the ski season with great longing. It is probably over half way over now, but there is still quite a bit of time left. For some reason, I am already yearning for the dirt. My mom received a new issue of Bike magazine... and I promptly took it and started reading it. It conjured images of mountainbiking and mountainboarding, but it is still very much winter. I have been reveling in the snow and the cold temperatures, but for some reason I also can’t wait for the spring mud to be here. I think it has a little bit to do with the fact that Bruce Mound only has so much to offer. I feel like I am even getting bored with it. I have snowboarded one day each of the past 2 weekends or so, just to throw a little variety into the mix.
In two weekends we’ll have a four day weekend. I am hoping to be able to take that time and go ski somewhere other than same-old Bruce Mound. I think I need a little change.

WCCN: yet more information :: Big Sky Bible Institute update
I called them yet again... and yet again I am waiting for a reply. The good news: all we are doing is sorting out times! Randomer may finally get a chance to get on the air!
Also, I officially sent in my Big Sky Bible Institute application. I don't know why I wouldn't get accepted, so yeah. Keeping the fingers crossed!
