Greetings, humanoids. I have just recently returned from a grand adventure of archaeologying in the desert. My beard grew long and red during the process. At one point I was trapped inside this magic box:


Here I am again. Very exciting. This one was just prior to my desert excursion:


While in the desert, I was training from 2-5 hours an evening on my bike, preparing for the next season of racing at the San Diego velodrome. I think I wore myself out, as I came home sick and have had to take the last week off from training and working. My dog is happy about that, but I'm bored and a bit in the dumps. The desert was pretty awesome. I was working at Edwards Air Force Base, and there were all kinds of cool advanced aircraft overhead at most times. I saw the first flight of some new super stealth bomber/drone, some F-22s amd F-35s, and a bunch of F-16s and F-18s. I really like fighter jets for some reason. I guess because I grew up going to air shows and building models and what have you. People think they see UFOs a lot in that area. It's just the air force testing their advanced jets.

I have to move out of my awesome apartment by the end of this month. I'm having a really hard time finding a suitable place for Obi and me. Rent is so high right now in San Diego. My landlord is raising my rent to $1600(2 bedroom). I need to find a place for $1000 or less, hopefully with a yard and without shared walls. If I don't, I might move in with my parents and brother for a few months until things get settled and I can finally finish my thesis.

I've been watching Mad Men, and am almost through Season 4, and I must admit it's pretty damned good. I didn't think I'd like it, but it's really grown on me.

Well, it's 11 o'clock on a Saturday night, so you know what that means. I'm off to take Obi for a walk and then I'm gonna train for three hours like some kind of idiot.

Oh and the old hypochondriac in...

Oh and the old hypochondriac in me is freaking out because I recently used a neti pot a few times with tap water and now I'm pretty sure I have a brain-eating amoeba. If you don't hear from me after two weeks, I'm dead.

Oh yeah, check out this awesome video. Seriously, it's so good:


And listen to this song. It's sad, but it's damned good:
