Alright, for real, I had a pretty sweet weekend.  After work on Saturday I met up with Aaron, Joe and Trevor to see “Ghost Rider”.  The movie was pretty terrible, but it seems like it was terrible on purpose and I really enjoyed it.  The movie was directed by Mark Steven Johnson who did “Daredevil” and “Elektra” so I don’t have too much faith in his writing and directing ability.  But I think he got it right with “Ghost Rider”.

When I got home from the movie I was thrilled to see a package from Paul Yath containing my newest yo-yo, The Milk. The yo-yo is unbelievable, it’s a recessed silicone SPR yo-yo made from machined delrin.  If the standard in stability is the Pyro then this is the first plastic yo-yo that meets that standard.  I love the SPR system for replacing the response system.  Mine came stock with recessed silicone, but when the yo-yo hits stores you’ll be able to get replacements for recessed sticker and various other response systems.  Paul also sent me some of his “ghost stickers” and I don’t really know a lot about them, but they seem to be an adhesive silicone sticker.  I stuck one in my pyro, and I’m loving it.

Speaking of my pyro, I love it but I’ve been having a hard time finding a response system that I’m really happy with.  Well, so far the Ghost Stickers seem to be just the thing.

Anywho, shortly after being thrilled with the new yo-yo the wife came home.  And that meant that it was time to leave.  Saturday night marked the earliest that her work has ever managed to do their Christmas party.  It was a good night, the party was at Kozlaks Royal Oaks.

Sunday morning I was working at a Gophers Game, so I had to get up early.  After running a drawing at the game I met up with Lindsay in Oakdale to look at some more houses with our realtor.  The first one had a mold problem, the second one was too small, the third one was a general kind of scary, and the fourth one had no basement and a bad furnace.

Once we were done looking at houses I had my first opportunity to rest this weekend.  And we did.  Lindsay and I curled up on the couch and took a nap.  It was great.  I have a lot of stuff on my plate for this week, and I don’t think I’ll have much chance to rest.  Look for new college for the easily amused shirts soon.  Cheers.
