Spooky time
10/27/2006
Halloween is quickly approaching and I think it might be one of the coolest "holidays". A bunch of scary movies are in theaters, scary video games come out, Halloween specials are on TV, and there are decorations on people's homes. This year my parents made this spooky looking fence for our house (picture below). Anyone who has seen my dorm room or apartment in the past two years knows my dad likes to make things out of PVC pipe, because it's easy to take apart and reassemble. Well this fence is made from PVC pipe. It doesn't look like it at all, does it? They did a great job. Oh, the picture was taken by my brother Todd.



Not too much else new lately. The Office was a rerun this week which totally ruined my Thursday. I've become addicted to that show after buying season 1 and 2. Getting the full story so far is a lot better than just part of it, everything makes more sense in the current episodes.

I register for the spring semester of school on Monday. So far it looks like I'll be taking two humanities courses, to get all of my required general stuff done, and then three or four computer science classes depending on what I think I can handle. I'm also going to take a bunch of PE credits because I need four more classes in order to graduate. Winter is the best time, in my opinion, for PE classes. I'm planning on taking intermediate and advanced skiing which basically means show up at the hill and then go do whatever you want. It'll be fun to be forced to ski 4 hours a week. I may also be taking another bowling class, we'll see.

It looks like I'll be able to see the Packers again this week since the Vikings play on Monday night. It will be nice since I just bought new speakers for my TV and since we get the digital Fox HDTV station it will look and sound awesome. Now the Packers just have to come through and beat a crappy team (Cardinals).

Yay! I think Halloween is one of the most fun holidays, too!! You so called it, the decorations are one of the best things. And yeah, that fence looks awesome, I would have never guessed it was PVC pipe until I read it in your post, thanks for fooling me! ;)

And I KNOW!! My Thursday was ruined, too, that "The Office" was a rerun! I am just as addicted as you...and I am getting my roommate addicted as well. Hee hee.

Sorry, I guess I had nothing insightful to add as a comment here...just a bunch of exuberant sentences about how I agree with your opinions and that you're a pretty sharp shooter.

Good luck signing up for classes on Monday, let me know how it goes!

Okay, this cracked me up. I had no idea your dad had a thing about PVC pipe! Once upon a time, The Dad (as in Kristy's dad) made a batting cage entirely of PVC pipe that he got from a dumpster. We have pictures. Then he special ordered a net to fit over the pipe thingy mabob. And it lasted years until we moved and it had to be taken apart. Oh those were the days....our neighbors thought we were building a green house. :- )

PVC pipe dreams must be a guy thing.
