This weekend Jocelyn and I got engaged. JCPenney had a great sale on Black Hills gold so I thought it was time to get a ring. I got a sweet ring with some grapes and oak leaves on it, it looks great. But seriously, we did get engaged, more information to come in my weekend wrap up.
As you can see there has been a significant change to iRau.com. I’ve decided to move away from my home grown application and I’m going to try a pre-fabbed program. The program is called WordPress. This program has a ton of built in features, features that I eventually wanted to get implemented into my blog but I never had the time to program it myself. This program is easily customizable and has many many more features such as being able to “subscribe” to my website and also add comments about my posts. I’m going to give it a test run and we’ll see if I stick with it or not. Leave me some comments.
I am actually typing this with two hands, although very slowly. I got my splint off today but I still have to be very cautious and also have a lot more work to get motion and strength back. But farewell to that stupid splint.
I got my iPod today!!! I would like to thank Jocelyn, her sister Arianne, My brother Randy, co-worker Roman and last but certainly not least, Fudgie. These people have been venerated to one of my coveted “top human being in my life” position for helping me get my iPod for free. The rest of you, shame on you, I gave you plenty of chances. You have a lot of making up to do if you want to be a top player in the life of Ryan. You can start by helping me get an iPod photo at freephotoipods.com or you can settle for being an “average human being.” Thanks again guys!
This weekend was pretty eventful. Friday started off with the end of an era. Luedke and Bone closed shop at the Wells street bachelor pad. The party was a great time and I was successful in lightening their load by polishing off at least one whole bottle of liquor. I actually polished off three or four but none were full, so I figure adding all of them together equaled somewhere around a bottle. After the party we headed to the Metro and continued our boozing rampage with the classic $5 martini night. Oh the humanity, and the hangover.
Saturday we headed up to SheVegas to fix J’s car. We rolled into town around 12 with our BACs somewhere around .10. My brother wanted to go to a brat fry so we swerved our way there for an hour to get some of that Sheboygan charm. I didn’t see any rich bachelors but I did see plenty of mullets and NASCAR gear. The rest of the afternoon we worked on the car and got some of the oil leaks patched up. Around 7 we headed to Firehouse and then bar hopped around the greater Sheboygan area. Once again I saw a lot of homely looking dudes but no rich bachelors. The kicker of the whole night had to be running into my old roommate Courtney at Water Street, talk about bizarre.
Sunday was spent working on my computer. I got a new rig and she’s a beaut. I got it up and running finally but I’m still tweaking it. A special thanks to J’s dad for financing part of the computer via the Potawatomi Indians. Now I have to get a bag of VHS cassettes converted to DVD for him. More adventures to come, especially in two weeks when I head to the Great Northwoods for a guys weekend.
