Life...no faaiiiirrrr!

So it's been a weekend. This weekend, as you can probably tell if you've seen Skyler's Flickr pictures, I had a soccer tournament. We ended up taking second place out of like six teams so that is good. We did well, and won all three of our first games (1-0, 3-2, 5-0) and I scored one of the three goals in the second game! :-D I was soooo super excited when that happened since I seriously never score...obviously because I play defense, but whatever. It's all good though.

Oh, yesterday I went on a date with my luver boy. I can't believe we have been going out for a year. It sure doesn't seem like that long. It has really just flown by! It's so funny because we can still go to the same restaurants and do the same old things and still have the same amount of fun as we did the first times we were doing it. That is one thing I really love about our relationship. Nothing gets old as long as you are doing it with someone you love doing anything with. But yeah, anyways, we went to El Torito because we haven't been there in like ages! It was so good. Then we went to the movies...but before that we headed to Sky's house where some boys were getting ready for homecoming. Oh the good old days of getting dressed up and being pretty. Anyway, they look fairly good compared to the way they normally look (Trevor and Devin, that is). But yeah...so then we went to see North Country. Such a good movie. Definately deserves a nice 5 stars. If you're into those serious kind of movies, then I think you'll like it. It's definately a serious movie in that it deals with some hard stuff, so yeah.

Mkay, well I worked today, that was super-un-duper. It was like really busy. All day. It was horrible. Then it was like mad clean up the store at the end of the night. So that sucked. But oh well. I was in a good mood--probably from all those endorphins (sp?) that I was high on. Niiiiice. I should do that like everyday. Exercise makes me happpppy. Hehe.

Well, I think it's around my bedtime, so I better get to sleep so I can wake up early to study for chem test. Wish me luck!

Starbucks Coffee - "Week in Review"

Starbucks Coffee
Originally uploaded by skylerf85.

Good afternoon everyone. Or, I was thinking good morning when I had the idea to post this blog post. A lot has gone on here this week so I wanted to catch you all up. Let's start off with Weight Watchers.

These last few weeks have been real interesting. I havn't been keeping track of every single thing I eat, and I know I have been eating more points that I am offically alloted. But I know it will happen as I get closer and closer to goal. Speaking of goal, I had only .8 pounds to loose. I hope I did it this week, we'll see tomorrow.

This week started off good enough but then the problems started on Tuesday. After driving up to Monique's house to pick her up, my car wouldn't start. Its been having real bad problems, but this time it wouldn't even go. Usually, I could get it to work fine after a minute or two, but it was bad this time. Black smoke comming out the back of the car, and it would die really quick. So we scratched that and took Monique's Tercel. I did get it working enough to drive home at 10 oclock that night. I dropped it off at my mechanics, and that was that. They gave me a call today saying that they finally got my car to "mess" up this time. Once they got it going bad, he was about to figure out what it might be. He still has to do some tests, but its very promising now. Before, he didn't even know what was wrong with it. And the idea he had before, costing over $800 isn't what is wrong. SO maybe I will get out without too much dent in my wallet.

I've really been getting into learning about my digital camera, and it has really helped me out. So far, I got my own camera to take some great shots. The picture about this is one I took today. Monique and I went to Starbucks to get some coffee, and I had an idea to take this shot. In the past, my camera was taking really bad shots, and I found out that it was because the white ballance was out of wacks, and my IPO settings were too high. I got that all figured out and it looks great now. Tell me what you think my posting a comment on the picture. Okay, so I got the Starbucks bug this week. I think I had it 3 times this week. I actually find it good. What makes coffee cool is that I can eat something real light in the morning, some coffee before class, and then I'm fine till lunch. I don't know if its the best idea, but it is what I did. I think I'll be back to normal next week. Also, having a little bit of money makes me try new things and eat out a bit more. Need to take my lunnch to school next week for sure...

In upcomming events for Skyler, I'm playing at the Sandpiper Friday night. Come see my from around 6pm to 9pm. I'll be playing accoustic guitar with a looper, so expect three straight hours of music. I rarly take breaks. I even drink my water / diet soda while playing at the same time. Kind of a skill I picked up from having the guitar attached to myself as I went through High School. Speaking of high school and getting through it, I think having something to focus on like that makes things a bit easier. I think all kids, hell, all people need a creative outlet. And thanks to my skills and tools, I can make what I want to make. Now-a-days, it is so freaking easy to make what you want to make. Be it music, to photos, to video, to whatever, computers really are the best tool. Digital information is so very easy to edit and create, and the internet is the best distribution service in the world. If you need any tips or help on what to do, send me a line. I guess after listening to Loe Laporte, I remember the real point of having a compuer. Its a awesome tool to make what you want to get made. In summary, get yourself into a pashion, a hobby. Mine right now is taking better photos. Also, I got Front Row to work on my old iMac. Yay for being a pirate ;)

Okay well, that is going to be it for today. Looks like Monique is being forced to make dinner, so I'm going to go entertain her. Its kind of cute, she gets all mad about having to do things around the house, but then when I make her happy, she forgets all about it. Have a great weekend everyone and I'll see you soon!

Updates, Updates

Hey kids,
Yeah, I know, its been a while. Things have really been so busy for me (skyler) that I havn't had any real time to sit down to really do much in the way of what I want to do. And on my list of things to do, blogging isn't number 1. I mean, I still got 3 Netflix movies at home to watch. But the reason I'm here today is that I'm over at Monique's house and I have some time. Monique is cooking her world famous pasta, and I'm sitting in the kitchen waiting for it.
Things have really been busy for me with school and such. Even my weekends feel packed. I'm doing school work and going to school Monday through Thursday. Friday is like my day off. Well, it use to be. Then I started playing at the Sandpiper in Bodega Bay, and so my Friday nights were gone. I've played there 5 times now. I usually do Friday and Saturday. Anyway, so that takes up my weekend nights. I play out there cause the money is good, and I need it. I'm having car trouble, but I don't really want to go into that. Let's just say having a few dollars in the bank waiting is always a good thing.
School has been crazy as well. Just today I had a test in every class I went to. Not really a fun time. But from bad things come good things. When you don't think anything good will come. (Monique is kind of getting yelled at right now. I hope something good comes out of it. I feel kind of bad for her. I hope they just get together sometime soon. This could be a long night) Anyway, school is busy, no doubt. Oh yeah, I happened to listen to the Black Eyed Peas album by chance walking around school today, and its really a good album. I've always liked some of there songs, I just never gave them all a try. Now that I have, I seem to like the whole album. Its called Elephunk. So, thats good in all.
New things on the computer landscape. My dad just got a new iMac G5 yesterday. Bought it cheap off apple's website. It was like $750 or something. Quite a steal, I'd say. I do really think that I should get his old one though. I'd be able to use it much more. So, the new iPod came out and I think I really want one. I just saw one today at Best Buy. But Best Buy is sooo dumb, they have one on disply, but with NOTHING ON IT! Omg, what's the point? Its just a white screen. It is a cool white screen though. I really wanted to see how good video looked on it. I guess I'll have to wait till I go to the Apple store soon. It would be awesome to get one for my birthday or christmas.
Anyway, thats about it right now. Lilly, Monique's cat, is settled into my lap, and I should pet her for a while. I'll try to add more stuff if I get more time soon. Have a great weekend everyone and we'll talk to you later!

Don't do it!!

Sounds like a case of the mondays...

Well well well. What a monday. It's been like a million years since I updated so I thought I'd stick a little of my insight into this blog. Anyway, it's monday. Woohoo. Those lucky high schoolers didn't have to go to school!!! No fair. See, now is when I wish I were still in high school. But don't quote me on that because I hardly ever feel that way. It's about 9:30 right now and I'm getting a little tired. I am caught up on all my homework...woohoo...so I plan on going to bed BEFORE eleven tonight. Haha. I am excited because I might be getting one of the new video iPods tonight. :-) My brother is sniping a couple off ebay, I think. So yeah. Otherwise, I just went to school today and we started trigonometric functions in my math class. My teacher is so funny cuz she get's all into it and says that this is the only reason that she teaches Math 27: the trig stuff. Trig is fun, I have to admit. The funnest part of it is that it's EASY! I like easy. Then of course I had some chemistry. Ugh. Not my favorite but I knew what was going on today, thank goodness. I need to not suck at the next test (which is on halloween day, and that reminds me, I have to work the night before!). Anyway...then I went to work and we like detail cleaned the entire store the entire time I was there (seven hours!). It looked pretty sweet afterwards. The only sucky thing was that it was like one million degrees in there. The a/c like only works when it feels like it, it's crazy. So today when we left it was 82 degrees! That has got to be against some working conditions law or something. Argh. And now here I am at home. I put some mad country on my iPod on the way home and like sang my brains out. Man, I always forget how awesome possum country is. Here I am right now wondering why my kitty is such a spazzy little kitty. She is trying to devour the blinds string and she just can't seem to get the fact that it's not moving, she's making it move and fly around. HAHAHA. I'll have to post this video one day of when she was like attacking my feet underneath my comforter. SO funny. She's a crazy lil kitty. Anyway...yeah. Well, it's almost bed time and I should probably........AGH! She almost choked herself! Now I see why they say you should trim them if you have small children. Lily definately counts as small children. Okay, now I'm out. Have fun, all!

Winey Days

I heart this boy right here. Can everyone see that?? He's got a nice little wine mustache. Well, technically it's not a wine mustache since we weren't drinking wine. Instead we were consuming the beginnings of wine; that is to say, we were drinking grape juice. Yay! Today we got to start making some Angelica for Christmas. It's going to be a Merry freakin' Christmas with this stuff. Har har. That's why Skyler is rolling his eyeballs. Right, Sky?? Buhbye all! Check out the rest of the pics on Flickr! Fo Shizzle!

For those who havn't seen, I've added some shots for our trip last week to the beach. I think they're cool, so go check them out! In other news, my two hell weeks of tests are over, and I can relax once again. Time to take up some space on the couch and watch some movies...

ELEVEN MONTHS!!!

*Today*

Wow, peeps. Viva la SkynMoe. It is (was?) our 11 month anniversary today! And actually we didn't really do anything special. We went to school. WOOHOO. Actually, it was sorta funny this a.m. I was about to finish getting ready to go to school when I thought it might be a good idea to call and make sure that Skyler was awake and up since he had an 8 a.m. class. Well, I called him and like five minutes into the convo the door bell rings and I'm like whoa, who could that be? I didn't for one second think it was him -- but it was! He even brought me some coffee yay! So that helped a little bit today since the both of us sorta had one of those hectic mondays. I pretty much flunked a nice chemistry test. Yay, I think. And then I had to go to work...another yay. But not so bad. It was still cool cuz Mr. Fuhrman was there to surprise me yet again! And then we went to G&G and he bought me a carnation just like he had for each of our past ten months. It's going to be sad once we pass one year. I hope we still count each month cuz it makes that day that much more special. It's like an excuse to celebrate us, and as far as I know there is nothing wrong with celebrating awesome stuff like being in love. Yep. If you think otherwise then stop being negative. If there's one thing I learned from my lover boy is that being negative brings YOU and everyone around you down, so stop it! Hehe.

~*what a cutie, no?*~

*New things*

-->Keith and the Girl (podcast): soooooo funny. I know I used to tell Skyler that he was weird cuz he like worshiped them, but they are funny and I'm hooked. Check it out peeps! www.keithandthegirl.com

-->Jason Mraz: I love his song "Wordplay." I don't know why, I just do. If you spend $.99 in your life, download that one.

-->Alec Fuhrman: DUH I like him, but his music is literally awesome, too. (my fave: Canciones de San Francisco)


*Random thought*
Are children who act in rated 'R' movies allowed to see them? (from www.goodquotes.com)

After a long week

After a long week, it is sure nice to sit down to a meal. What makes it ever better is one you make yourself. Tonight I did just that and it was sure nice. I like spending the extra time to cook all the food, and getting it all together. I think taking the time to actually cook is something that is lost more these days. Not to cook to get food hot for people to eat, but to enjoy the time you actaully spend cooking. I know this might sound crazy to people who think there isn't any fun in cooking, but I beg to differ. I really do like making things, no matter how long it takes. And you know, there isn't anything better than eating something you've made yourself.
