Viva Las Vegas- Elvis Style

Press play to hear Viva Las Vegas to get you in the mood too!

Viva Las Vegas

Yep, that's right Viva Las Vegas! We are going to Vegas for Spring Break (well at least the last weekend) Chelsea reserved another room for us, it is at the Las Vegas Club, which is across the street from the Plaza which is where Krista has the room. We got really excited and searched online for coupons, there are a lot of different things out there. I just want to walk around and take it all in. The two hotels are on Fremont Street, the old strip. It's right there where they have the covered light thing. You can see the pictures below. The new strip is about 3 miles away, which isn't bad. I'm excited that Chelsea and Max are going with us to Vegas. We'll all have a good time. They're awesome.

Last night the Dierks Bently concert was good. It wasn't all that great, but good. We danced at Tremors for a little after the concert. Krista got a little tipsey, it was fun. That's about it, I had to work this morning and then I did some laundry. Now I am going to do my Spanish work. Wish Dina and I luck on the test Tuesday night. Then I get to start studying for my other test. All my classes have a test in the next 2 weeks.

Oh yeah, John and I fixed the cable in the living room. The dogs had chewed part of the cable, and John and I drilled through the wall to make the hole bigger to run a new cable. Then I figured out that Dina's cable was bad, so she was getting a bad reception, but problem solved.

Alright, time for serious work! Later

Our other Las Vegas Hot Spot hotel

Oklahoma Blog Ring

Our Vegas Hot Spot Hotel

even the dogs partied too much last night!

been busy

Yep, we've been busy, well not really. We went to the city Thirsday night to get Chelsea's car. We wen to eat at Buffalo Wild Wings in Edmond. I wasn't really impressed with it. But it was fun. Then we went out to Jones to visit the parental units. Chelsea was scared of Zues. She saw him and asked if I knew that we had a bear in our house. It was funny. We stopped by the Polands too. Their new dog is smart. I need Elyse to train Dask! Last night I closed and then we watched a movie, Wicker Park. I didn't make it 15 mintues into the movie and I was asleep. At work I did find out that I will eventually be a manager. I am supposed to go to a class at the Fazoli's in OKC for 6 Saturdays in a row. They pay you though. Tonight is the Dierks Bentley concert at the 'Weed. Krista wants to go to Old Navy now, so laters.

OH YEAH!! We got a hotel for Vegas!! Krista already reserved it. We lucked out and that weekend is also one the of the largest conventions that have. We are staying at the Plaza. It's about 3 miles off the strip, but they have a monorail around the strip. It isn't a bad price either. I'm reallllllly excited!!!

Another day

Yep another day of classes. I am about to ggo pick Chelsea and Krista up to go to the city to get Chelsea's car from the shop. We're skipping our kickboxing class, ohh rebels. I think we may go bowling or something whil we're down there.

I registered on the facebook. I don't really know how it works but I'm sure I'll find out.

Alright, that's about it. I need start studying for my tests, remember I am going to do better this semester. Later

Kickboxing again, huh and huh

Today, classes were alright, nothing special. In plants and people, I learned a little about nutrition and more about the rise of agriculture. Still interesting, just not energetic. In Spanish, more about the preterite verb form. Test in one week by the way. In legislative process a little about congressional budget and other such crap.

In kickboxing, more work! We jumped rope for 10 minutes, or should I say, we were supposed to. :) Then we did more boxing with the pads and partners. Kursta was my partner. We learned a jab today. But apparently, I was doing a European jab and not the western American jab. Whatever, just turn your fist the other way. Then we put it all together. Jab-Cross-Hook-Cross-Cross step-Kick. Yeah, then after all of that we meditated. But just to reiterate, it's not what you think about meditating. It's hip-hops (a setup like exercise), crunches, finger crawls and then streching. At least I'm not as sore as last week. He did ask during class if anyone would object to being filmed. He is going to make a promo film to show at booths and stuff. At first, we were all like what for? He was joking and said that he was going to put it on the internet to sell to our parents. Haha, I told him that my parents wouldn't buy that shit. (Mom said she would, and it would be a good laugh) I think he may have changed his mind. He didn't get the camera out of the bag. And if I were him, I wouldn't film me to get more business in there! I think we are getting better, and we are getting a workout. So it will be good overall. I still need to get the handwraps and stuff so our knuckles don't get all red from hitting the pads like ours were.

Alright, off to do homework!

Just to let you know!

Just to let you know...

ONLY 16 DAYS LEFT UNTIL I'M 21!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh yeah

We went to the basketball game today too, and then we went out the movies. The game was kinda uninteresting, we played Baylor and won. They didn't waste anytime putting Eddie Sutton court on there. It's a huge signature, I thought it was going to be two small ones on either side, but nope. It's a huge one that goes all the way across the court. It still looks really good though. We went to see In Good Company. It was an alright movie. It didn't end like you think, with the happy ending everyone wants. But oh well, it was still good. Dask is doing great by the way. He went to the vet a week ago and now he has his rabies shot and only needs one more round of boosters. Ok, now I will go read.

still sore

Yes, I am still sore!! I can hardly move around, I am a wimp. I know that kickboxing sucks, but I'll be back on Tuesday night. It must be working something if I can still feel it. Don't worry Krista and Chelsea are sore too.

Friday at Fazoli's: I had to close steam. It wasn't supposed to be busy, but who knew that the entire OSU women's basketball team would want to eat there and some high school debate team? Oh yeah, and at the rush time too. It was great! We didn't get out of there too late and it's a good thing since we were having a going away party for Ryan. It was his last day and Greg sent Tony out to get a cake and told him to put good luck or we'll miss you or something like that. Well the guy comes back with a cake and has Happy Birthday put on it. It was funny. But the good thing of the night is that Becky said the next time she sees Greg she is going to tell him that I would make a good manager. I had just thought that there weren't any openings, but according to her, there are. That would be nice, but I think I need to get the trainer training out of the way first. Which I am going to stay tomorrow morning after I drop Chelsea off at 8, since I don't have to work until 11 and watch the orientation videos and hopefully get started on the book. The 25 cent raise would be nice there. So, I guess I won't be going to the Rib Crib after all. Chelsea brought up a good point about that. We would have to learn all new stuff, what if that manager isn't good, and we do have it pretty good where we're at as far as the people and getting days off an him working with us with our schedule.

Well we made it to the party, and Ryan or Linzi didn't show up. I guess it was kinda late and they do have a baby, so oh well. We'll still miss them. Linzi is staying a little while longer, so she will be here for my birthday party. Which by the way is only in 19 days!! So start making plans now to be in Stillwater for the party of the new millennium. We will be having festivities at the house for the under age people, so don't worry. Well, I should be reading for my classes or doing Spanish work online, so I will go now. Laters,

kickboxing..bad and Fazoli's...bad too

Alright, today's classes were good. After a night out last night. I went out the good ole 'Weed with Cole and John Story. It was Jason Boland in concert. It was a really good concert and I met a friend of John's, Sarah. I am going to call her tomorrow and tell her to come to the going away party for Ryan at Chelsea's. After classes we went to our second kickboxing class. It was alright, but I SORE right now, so imagine tomorrow. We did what he called meditation, but I don't see the meditation in it. It consisted of crunches, these hip moving things, and judo lunges. Ehhh, I am a worn out fat kid. He said that next Tuesday will be more strenuous. Yeah! Now we need to get the hand wraps, gloves and shin guards.

After we left there Chelsea, Krista and I were talking about cooking dinner, but Nina called Chelsea. She wanted me to come in and close. So I said yes. Stupid idea. It was CrAzY. We got out of there a little late, since some of the prep wasn't done and Becky was nit-picking everything. Oh well, now I have closed drive-thru twice, I am on a role.

I finished my book the other day. It was really good from beginning to end, the way I like it. Both of his books that I've read have started with a murder and it all works out in the end. He likes to keep a twist until the very end. This one didn't seem as plausible as The DaVinci Code, I guess that's why no one really talked about this one the way that they are about the Code. There was a show the other night on the History channel about the Code and if it was possible. They went through all of the accusations and showed how, while streaching it, it was possible, but not probable. Some of the info was streached to lengths and some of the groups time periods didn't match up, but still it makes you wonder. The Angels and Demons book is more of just a good read. You get to thinking about what if something would happen, but I think something would need to happen on a LARGE scale like in the book for people to pay that much attention now a days to religion, and I think that was the point of the book. Where to Science and Religion stand and how do you reconcile then together.

Alright, I am going to bed and hopefully I won't be sore tomorrow. Later

Kickboxing HUH!

Yeah, tonight was the first night of kickboxing. Yeah, we made it. It wasn't too bad. We do have to go get some hand wraps and stuff. That's crazy. The guy is about 5 ft tall, so he is short, but I don't think you want to mess with him. Chelsea, Krista and I were in a group, imagine that. We only learned the stance, the jab, the cross and one kick today. We are going to get into more stuff as we move along. It is kinda more self-defense than a Tae-Bo workout. I think it will get more like that as we progress. We did have to jump rope for a minute and I thought I was going to pass out, he did say to make sure and breath right or when you get hit you could pass out, so be looking for that post in the future, I'm sure.

Classes were alright. In Spanish we talked about the faculty council proposing an optional class rank on your transcript. Then in plants and people we learned about seeds and reproduction. And in Legislative Process we talked more about the Legislative Simulation and then about how congress has changed over time. One of Krista's friends also enrolled in the class, so I'm sure we'll have a good time. I did my profile for the LegSim, so I'm on my way. After kickboxing, we went to the pre-law club meeting. The guest speaker was one of the OSU profs for business law. He talked about getting into law school and how to pick the right one. From the sounds of it, I either need to go the worst law school or just not go to law school. It was interesting, but the more he talked, I wasn't as ready to start looking for a law school. I think I still want to get my alternative certification for teaching and go to school at night for a masters and then maybe I'd be ready for law school and then I might have some money too. I don't think I'm in a rush and teaching would be a nice steady job. I hope.

Alright, I'm tired and worn out from the kickboxing, yeah right. I'm going to read the rest of Angels and Demons, it took a good turn and now it's more interesting. Laters,

Happy Birthday

Tonight, nobody worked, so we went to the city to go out and eat for Max's Birthday. Chelsea, Max, Krista, Sean, Dina and me all went. We went to Outback Steakhouse. It was mas bueno. Then we went to Circuit City and Target. We just went out and had fun since tomorrow night is his party. I have to work again tomorrow, but at least I don't have to close. I was supposed to close Wednesday night, but I was on drive-through and it was getting CrAzY. So I asked Megan to work for me, and thank goodness she agreed to do that for a case of beer Sunday night. I was doing alright on it, but it was just stressful. I could do it, but I think they should ease you into it, instead of just sticking you on and I haven't even ran cash but two times. Oh well I may close tomorrow night for Chelsea since she is having that party at their house. Classes are going alright. Chelsea was in our Spanish class, but now she's out of it and got out of her other 10:30 class, so now she won't be riding with me anymore. Oh well, she will get to miss the fun of the Union at lunch time. It is ridiculous. People are everywhere, the lines are down the hallways and you can't find a seat. You would think with the world's largest Union, we would have some room, but noooo every stinking campus office has to be in there and a hotel. Oh well, suck it up and wait in line for 30 minutes. I am taking Dask to the vet for another round of booster vaccines. I was supposed to go today, but the vet had to leave early, so they called me and had me reschedule. I am about half-way through the Angels and Demons book and it is really good. I still think the DaVinci Code is better, but this is still a really good read. Ok, it's bed time. Later

well it's the 3rd day of classes

Alright, I meant to post last night about the second day of classes, but we went to the Basketball game and got home late. We won the game, it was a good one. We got there a little late, so we were all the way up at the top looking for open seats and we saw some down closer, but it's were the older people sit, so we thought those people weren't there yet. But we sat there and they never showed, so we ended up with good seats and it was a good game. The game Saturday is at 12:30, so we will have to get up early and then I work at 4, so it will be a fun day.

Well Tuesday/Thursday classes are alright. I have Spanish, of course todo los dias, and then I have another hour break and Sean, Krista, Chelsea and I all met up for lunch in the union. I'm taking Chelsea to class on T/T and then picking her and Krista up later. Chelsea said she'll pay but she's only a block out of the way, whatever. After the break I have Plants and People. It is the same prof as who I had to Intro to Biology, he has a bad accent, but the class seems like it is going to be good. We are going to learn about plants as food, drugs, clothing, and other materials. I think it's interesting. Then I have the Legislative Process class with Krista. I've had that prof too and she was really dry. But in that class we have to do this simulation over the semester where we are House members and there's a website that we log onto to do these simulations. We have to pick a congressional district, not in Oklahoma, and then represent that district. We then elect a Speaker and committees in class and have committee meetings and hearings and floor debates and all kinds of stuff like that. We have to keep a calendar about all of that, so I'm thinking I may just start another blog to keep track. It sounds like that class is a high school project or something, but Krista and I can make that class interesting.

After classes on Tuesday, Chelsea, Krista and I went to the Colvin Center to walk and we signed up for a kickboxing class. Yep, every Tuesday/Thursday 5-6 we will be kickboxing. That's a good time for me since I don't work and they will already be on campus. That starts in 2 weeks, so we'll see about that. Well that's about it. I'm going to work tonight, of course.

First day of Spring Semester!

Yeah, the first day of classes. I have Spanish at 10:30 and then American Presidency at 12:30, so I have an hour break. I got up early and took Dina to her 9:30 class since she doesn't have a parking permit yet and then I went to get a haircut before I went to find a parking spot. Parking is always ridiculous. It is even more absurd during the first week back. But I managed to find one. Then in Spanish, it's Spanish II so I guess he feels the need to talk mostly in Spanish! Ehh, I will need to pay major attention. Then on my hour break, Carrie ran into me, so we talked. We both have an hour break then so that was nice otherwise I just sit there like a nerd. American Presidency was the same with that prof. I've had all of Dr. Davis' other classes, so I am used to him now. I like his style though, I think I get more out of his classes. Tomorrow will be interesting. I have Spanish of course everyday, then I have another hour break, then I have Plants and People and then Legislative Process. I have had both of those profs before too. The Plants and People prof was my Biology prof and he has a bad European accent that makes him a little hard to understand, so I will need to really pay attention there too. I don't think it will be that bad, how hard can plants be anyways? It's the people part that might get confusing, because we can be complex. Then the Legislative Process class is one that I have with Krista, but the prof is the same one from Public Opinion and Polling. Very dry and very strict. She doesn't make the material that interesting so you just pretty much have to do it on your own. And the legislative process could be interesting because of all of its intricacies, but that also makes it hard to understand. But Krista and I will make it fun. Also on Tuesday and Thursdays I am going to pick Chelsea and Max up and take them to school since they start at the same time, so that will be something different. Alright, I need to get ready for work, oh yeah add that into the mix! Tomorrow is the first OSU basketball Big 12 game! We play Mizzou, I'm ready!

Dask tonight

Classes start again!

Yep, classes start back tomorrow. So I will be busy again, or at least I should be. I am going to do better this semester, so I will be busy. I got my books, I only needed books for 3 classes, and they were $287! I think I will also need to buy a powerpoint book for one of my classes too, so that is fun. Thank goodness for federal financial loans! I can't wait for taxes too, since I worked last year, I should get at least a little back. That money will be put away and used for Spring Break. We are going to go out to Cali, and on the way stop at Vegas. I will be 21 by then, of course as you can tell from the count down.

I know that Carrie isn't a bitch, it's just fun. She was just saying what we were thinking, but it was the timing of the situation that made it funny. Another thing about Fazoli's. The other day there was a sign put up, that if you were caught steeling food you would be terminated (this includes products eaten in the walk-in). They had found half-eaten chicken in the walk-in. Yeah it is cooked a little before, but that is GROSS! They are practically raw and they are soggy from thawing. If you are going to "steel" food, at least cook it, like other nameless people do. If you do go to Fazoli's try Honey-Mustard on your sub instead of mayo. :) Work today was terrible, the coaster system of making all of the food on one order sucks when it is really busy and then you have a basketball team walk in and they want to make it one big order. It was crazy! And the bottom oven wasn't working right, so we had only 2 ovens. Oh well, I got to get out of there early, so I can't complain too much.

How 'bout them Cowboys! Yesterday was the Big 12 Basketball opener. We played at Tech, we haven't opened the basketball conference schedule at home for awhile, but it didn't matter, we pulled it out and won! It was looking kinda iffy in the first half, but we came back later in the second. The first conference home game is Tuesday against Mizzou. I don't work on Tuesday/Thursday now, so I will be there!!!

Alright, now I think I am going to go get a book. Angels and Demons. It's the prequel to The DaVinci Code. I've already read the DaVinci Code and it was an awesome book, so hopefully this will be good too. I've been wanting to read something, but now that school is starting again, I finally get around to it.

Fazoli's can be crazy

So, it started off like any other night at work, it sucked. But then there was this guy come through the drive through and he wanted to use the phone to call his mom because he forgot to tell her something. He was disabled. Then he had turned his van off for some reason and it died! So he asks Carrie if anyone has jumper cables. Of course, no one there had jumper cables. But we called a guy that works with us and he was going to bring some up, but in the mean time, so that we can serve other people through the drive through, some of us went out and pushed his van to a parking spot. Carrie had to steer, because that guy couldn't and she had to like knock over all of his equipment that enabled him to drive the car. Well, we never got it jumped and his family came up there and couldn't get it going, so they said they would get it tomorrow.
All of that plus Carrie and I had to walk the lot and pick up all of the cigarette butts, and of course they were all soggy and shit form the ice and rain. And of course, it was kinda busy and we run out of stuff, grrr. Oh well, we made it out of there in a decent time.

I was tired at work, because last night, some of us went to the movies, we saw Ocean's 12, and then went back to Chelsea's and drank a little. So it was a late night, at least I didn't have to work at 8am like Nina. Drinking and telling secrets can be dangerous. Megan and everyone else that is 21 went out for a little while since it was Megan's birthday today. So Happy Birthday to yet another person who turns 21 before me. It's not that far away! Only 33 days left, and the liquor stores are closed on Sundays, so really only 28 more shopping days left!

Well at work it is a fun game to call Carrie a bitch. She did make a comment about the guy in drive through that it was terrible irony the guy was handicapped and a midget. (*yes, I know Carrie will be reading this, but it is the truth*) She didn't mean it to be mean, but of course it was fun for me to pick on her. Then she got me back by hiding my stuff. Anyways, I was trying to sing the South Park song about Kyle's mom, She's a Bitch, and change it from Kyle's mom to Carrie Lynn (sorry for the misspelling, I'm sure you'll be all over me about it!) So, here are the lyrics to the song, and you can change the name yourself! Laters,

Weeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll,Kyle's
mom's a bitch, she's a big fat bitch,
She's the biggest bitch in the
whole wide world,
She's a stupid bitch, if there ever was a bitch,

The Llama song lyrics

Alright, I found the lyrics to the Llama song/movie thing below. Click on the link to find out what I am talking about. http://albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama.php Here they are:

Heres a llama.
There's a llama and another little llama.
Fuzzy llama.
Funny llama.
Llama llama duck.
Llama llama.
Cheesecake llama.
Tablet brick potato llama.
Llama llama mushroom llama.
Llama llama duck.
I was once a treehouse.
I lived in a cake.
But i never saw the way, the orange slayed the rake.
I was only three years dead, but it told a tale.
And now listen child, to the safty rail.
Did you ever see a llama kiss a llama on the llama?
Llama's llama.
Taste of llama.
Llama llama duck.
Half a llama.
Twice the llama.
Not a llama.
Farmer llama.
Llama in a car.
Alarm a llama.
Llama duck.
Is it how it's told now?
Is it all so old?
Is it made of lemon juice?
Doorknob. ankle. cold.
Now my song is getting thin.
I've run out of luck.
Time for me to retire now.
And become a duck.

Dask and Max with bubbles

Press play to see the dogs playing with the bubbles.

Brrr

Brrr...it's cold out there! The picture isn't that intimidating, but it really is coooold. Weatherbug says it's 21 outside, and we already had our high temp. And, I have to go to work, 4 to close, but I don't wanna! Maybe that isn't cold to some, but 2 days ago we were in the low 70s! Yeah it's January, I guess that's Oklahoma for ya. Gotta love it. Oh well, take it easy. Until then, I will be inside with a cup of coffee. Right now we are watching our stories on tv and watching the dogs go crazy inside. And what happened to the Sooners last night?! They were talking about how it would be there last chance for a while since they are graduating something like 18 seniors. Although I doubt that they are actually "graduating", more like losing their eligibility to play; we're the school that actually graduates our players and with real degrees. So, with the Sooners half way having to rebuild next year and us with a new head coach (although he has been around), I think bedlam will be back in full force next year. I should start looking for tickets now since it is down in Norman. I'll be 21 by then, so maybe I should just go to Joe's and watch it. Oh well that's a year away. I am ready for basketball to get back in session here, I know we'll be all over OU there. I just wish we could have beat the Zags, but they are a good team and so are we, so maybe we'll meet for the championship in March! I'm ready for the Madness. I'm also kindda ready to start classes again on Monday, I'm going to do better this semester. I'm taking some good classes and I have a Tuesday/Thursday class with Krista (The Legislative Process) and I have Spanish 2 with Dina. So it should be interesting.

36 days until my birthday!! Start shopping now for my alcohol.

a new look

Alright, I messed around with it again and I found a template that had a dog picture. So, of course I had to put a picture of Dask. But I changed it to a drawing that Dina made for me while I was working on fixing her blog (a link is to the right) and Sean and Krista made it look nice for me. So, thanks for the reminder that I am a Nerd! I don't have a good graphics or photo program so that's why the resolution is bad on the pic, but oh well. I guess this one can do until tomorrow! I don't know about the music either, I like it, but I think it might get annoying if you are looking at the page, like anyone does anyways. I may take that off, but I thought it would be different for a change.

Thanks roomies for the reminder :)

and then

New OSU coach

Today (well really yesterday now) our football coach, Les Miles went to LSU. So, quickly after the offensive coordinator Mike Gundy was named new head coach, here's more info http://www.okstate.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=200&ATCLID=99745

Llamas!!!!

here's a joke

Alright, here is a joke...enjoy.

There were these 2 preachers in a town. After church on Sundays, each would ride their bikes to a coffee shop to meet. One day one of the preachers was walking. The other asked "what happened to your bike?" He told him that while he was preaching someone had stole his bike. The other preacher told him he knew how he could get his bike back. Next Sunday, preach the Ten Commandments, and when you get to thou shalt not steal, really hammer it home. Well next Sunday, the preacher came riding back on his bike. The other preacher said, it must have worked huh? He explained, "I was preaching the commandments and when I go to thou shalt not commit adultery, I remembered where I had left my bike."

and again

A New Look

Alright, I messed around with it today and I just made some changes to the old look. I'm ot sure if I like it, but it may grow on me. That's about it.

Wanting to change it up

I was looking around, trying to find something to change this blog around. I have had this for a little while now. But there really isn't anything that I found. I guess I can just change the pics on the sides. I dunno. Alright, later.

Dinasoooouarrr

Dask WON!

That's right Dina! My dog, Dask won! He is the cutest and had the cutest antlers! :) Thanks to all who voted! Not much else is going on, Thursday was Mer's last day at work. School starts in a week and we are having another get together tonight. We are going to watch Dodge Ball. Good times.

And, Happy New Years!
