Photoless, yet jam packed.

Alright, so I might have a couple of photos to include.
I was doing pretty good at writing in this once a month. And I don't want to say anything foolish like: "oh boy, I need to update my blog more" because I might not do it. I want to do it, but I might not do it.
The latest and greatest: Craigo's (wonderful job, cool peeps), hikes with Daniel (waterfall canyon with the giant rope swing, and the next week Mt. Borah: the tallest mount in Idaho), schoolwork (aka homeworks), Elders Quorum, soccer, longboarding! La Fondita (best Mexican restaurant in Rexburg. I'm always plugging for them! $1 tacos, amazing burritos, etc). Ear plugs (for when the band practices. We learned about the ears in anatomy. Amazing! Just want to keep these pretty boys the way they are because hearing aids, although amazing, can't replicate the natural sounds we here righ nah). Three new books (read zero so far, but just wait till Thanksgiving break!), Skype! (that's how I keep in touch with Matt). Custom orthotics (it's an IBC business Jason is doing for school. I bought a pair of these and they seem to be doing just fine. I also bought a five dollar punch card for cookies and milk for another IBC business). Guitars unplugged (with my room-mates/bandmates. I love those guys. We're still debating band names. We're debating between Fancy Bread [bringing back that awesome old band name from yesteryears], Jupiter Volta, Co-ed, Badminton, Co-ed Badminton, and Seth Neehring...wait, I've got it. I need to suggest Firebirds!). Free Aggie ice-cream (at a grad school fair at the school. Aggie mint baby. Wow). Joel, Ben, Spencer, Daniel, Dexter, Mike, Marshall, Matt, Shawn, and Ryan (my 10 room-mates). A friendly game of raquetball with Dan Mahler (which he twisted his ankle at, but he bought an ankle brace I believe and is doing much better.). I got to work at Badger Creek again! There was a girls soccer team up there, and I got to do initiatives (teambuilding) with their group. We did this thing called silent opera where one person is blind-folded, another person can only face the "silent opera," and all the members of the opera watch me, the facilitator, act something out. After I finish acting it all out, then they all simultaneously, silently, and chaotically convey what I have done to the speaker, who directs the blindfolded individual to act out exactly what I acted out. Confusion and hysteria ensue. The speaker always gets confused at what's going on, like such as, "Turn left...no, right! Wait...Nine...Zero. Oh! Turn 90 degrees to your left...no, turn around! STOP! Reach down and pick up a backpack? Yeah, a backpack. But wait...you know how at school you put a bookbag on your back? Well, you need to wear it on your front like you have a big belly..." Oh man, it was great.
That's a shotgun look at what's been going on. Blog, I'll see you when I see you, sooner or later.
