I’ve been in Seattle for the last 3 weeks.  Nine more to go.  Time for me to do some virtual housecleaning.  I’ve been working on a redesign of my site.  I’m going to start doing music, video game and movie reviews (don’t worry, short ones).  And I’m going to start setting weekly goals.  Which also means I’m going to have to make some sort of schedule for myself… sigh…

So, let’s start easy.

• Record my version of Quickly by John Legend
• Prepare a guitar version of one of the songs Ron wants to cover
• Code my site’s redesign (with a reviewing component)
• Run 4 miles (I said I was starting easy, 4 miles over a week should be nothing)
• Workout (requires me to go to the gym, could be difficult)
• Work on Jenny’s site (at least 2 hours)
• Write one more blog post
• Look into making an iphone app (SDK already downloaded)

I need to do all of that by the end of the week.  Very doable.  To support that Ron and I are probably going to stay in next weekend.  This will help us save money for a trip to see Adam and be productive at the same time.

I also went to a meeting for Virginia Tech’s Alumni Seattle Chapter yesterday.  Met some cool people.  Nice thing about the west coast is that the Alumni chapter is a tight group.  In Arlington/NOVA/DC there are so many Hokies that it can be really intimidating to get involved.  I think I’m going to be heading over to one of the couple’s place for Thanksgiving, and I’m hoping to do some night photography from their place to.  They have an amazing view of the city from the roof of their building.

About to get off the ferry.  Adios.  Expect big things…

Internet in my apartment is bloody awful.  I spent 3 hours sitting at the ferry terminal just so I could use it unobstructed for a while.  I actually did some legit work on Jenny’s website.  Last week I ran 2 miles… but I haven’t ran since (yeah, I know).  Even having these two extra days off I couldn’t pull myself to do it.  Hopefully I’ll go tomorrow.  I need to get myself to go to either Keyport’s gym or Bremerton’s gym, would be easiest if I brought a gym bag to work.

As for my list of things to do… I’ve only made progress on numbers 1 and 4 (Jenny’s site and Video games, respectively)  Ron and I beat Gears of War 2 playing co-op.  I think we did it within 24 hours, but we took a big break in between.  Overall gameplay time was probably closer to 8 hours.  It was good.  Graphics were awesome, haven’t tried xbox live yet.  I spent yesterday playing Fallout 3.  I really need to get out more, hopefully do some photography and hiking and whatnot.

A new thing on my list is to trim down my music collection and delete all the songs I don’t listen to/don’t want.  I also need to re-rate a lot of my music so I can get my playlists and order.  When I ran the 2 miles last week I also noticed that I need a running playlist, something with a good beat that I can use to keep pace with.

I think that just about covers a good portion of an update for me…

• Work:  Decent but I’m not busy enough
• School:  n/a
• Personal:  Needs to get “shit” together

Cheers
