Well, not too much has transpired over the past few weeks. Here's ten statements, observations and/or concerns that have arisen over that period.
- St. Patrick's Day weekend was a blur... no real surprises there. Dewey Beach, DE seems like a decent place. It's a shame I was there for a whole weekend and didn't even see the shore once... ah well, what ya gonna do?
- Of the dozens, maybe even hundreds of geophysical surveys I've done so far in my young career, I can count the number of surveys that went by w/o any hiccups or problems on my fingers. I've come to plan for the worst when gearing up for a job.
- When picking up replacement equipment today at a FedEx location an hour away from Boone, NC (the closest one), I saw a restaurant with those delicious three letters in the name... PHO 777. Needless to say, I got pretty excited. Unfortunately it was nine in the morning and I had shit to do. I just now searched online to check for the closest Pho joint to Boone, expecting there to be one in town. The closest place was PHO 777... Oh no, no Pho fo me this week.
- I've eaten at the same place the last two nights. It's a shitty chain place right next to my hotel. Convenience wins out all too often. The first night I ordered a 6 oz. filet, expecting something decent; it wasn't. The second night I opted for a cheeseburger. I swear, the hunk of meat they called a filet was the same thing they called a cheeseburger. No good.
- I need to get back in shape. This is bad, I'm afraid to get out there and play ball or soccer this spring for fear of coughing up a lung or having a heart attack. Time to get my shit together and start working out again. Traveling for work really makes it tough to get a workout routine together.
- I need to get to at least five DC United games this year. They're crazy fun, let me know if you want to go. I'm definitely game if I'm in town. I wonder what lame name the Philly club will come up with for their new team. If it's lame, I'm going to be so pissed off. Don't come up with some childish name like so many football, baseball or basketball teams have in this country. Name it Philly 1776, Philadelphia AC (Athletic Club), Athletico Philadelphia or something basic and classy like that. Take a hint from the Euro clubs.
- I need a girlfriend.
- I don't think blogging is going to get me a girlfriend.
- I don't think I'm going to be home for Easter, and for this, I'm sad.
- If I can't get up to Philadelphia to pick up my bike sometime soon, I'm going to snap. Jealousy is coursing through my veins every time I see a bike on the road. I need my fix.

Unfortunately, the nearest pho restaurant to Blacksburg is pho 777 also. I swear there are no Vietnamese south of the mason dixon line, wherever the fuck that is.
Turn off your comment moderation you pussy. I want to see my post immediately.
I shall continue to deprive you of instant gratification... it will make you a better person.
I have to agree, I think the moderation is pretty lame..
It's about time for a new installment huh? You are in danger of losing readers to other, more frequently updated blogs. How was your trip to blacksburg? I'm sure your reader(s) is/are dying to know. Have you dropped your sweater off at the dry cleaners yet?
The trip to Blacksburg shall not be blogged about... certain things are better left unblogged. And yes, my sweater is clean, thanks for your concern.
