Xanga is getting shutdown so I moved it here.
November 18, 2002 - Febuary 13, 2009
yesterday i woke up and took my mom to work so that i could us the car.
i went to hobby lobby cause i got a gift card to there for christmas. i
wandered around and looked at just about everything, somethings longer
than others, all i ended up gettting was a excto knife. saving the rest
for later
went to media play cause they are closing and everything is 40-60
percent off. but things we so expensive before that they are still not
that cheep. meh
went to scheels to look at something. i saw it 2 weeks ago but i can't
get it untill monday because i don't buy things after dec 18 because
someone might be getting it for me for christmas or my birthday so i
don't buy it. yeah i know of all the presents ever the chances i buy
something someone gets me is slim but it has happened so i don't buy
anything.
i sure hope its there after the weekend cause i will be at family camp.
they are almost out and they are on sale untill they are gone so i hope
of the 5 left no more than 4 sell.
if you want to buy it for me let me know and i will tell you what it is.
today i took everything that is on the floor in the kitchen and
breakfast nook (where all the dog stuff is) out and cleaned the floor
really good so we can put in that fake tile stuff.
so i said it a few paragraphs up but i am going to family camp. so
thats good news, well its good news for those of you will be there.
should be good
so i was about done but i just saw this commercial for the MEGO
(pronounced like me go) a phone thing for kids that the parents can
program 4 numbers in it and an emergency number. kind of a good idea i
guess. then kids can call home but not waste all those minutes getting
addicted to talking on the phone. i would use a mego. cause i call home
or my parents cell phones or work... shucks thta 5 numbers.... well i
could put one of them as the emergency number. i don't like the phone.
i have 10 phone numbers memorized... if you are one of them you should feel special

christmas was good, opened presents finally at like 10 am
probably the coolest thing i got was night vision monocular. its 2x
zoom so its a little wierd to try walking around with it, i suppose
thats cause its not necessarily made for that but hey
the family went to narnia christmas afternoon, even peter, normally
peter is against movies on holidays, even for a few days after. he's a
wierd kid
yesterday, did mainly nothing untill the later half of the day
ryan, ben, austen volla, and i got together at my house for a risk
game. it went pretty good. the eventual winners were ryan and i, i
decided to co-rule the world with him cause it was getting late. i
think eventually i would have had him.
i would go into specifics of the game but most of you would probably be bored so yeah.
then austen was leaving at a little before midnight and found 3 of his
tires to be flat and snow piled on his hood. on closer inspection we
found the air nozzle stem had been ripped off by someone. yeah that
sucks
we gave austen a ride home
then ryan played for austen, not for long cause he never got to his next turn, ben and i annihilated him.
the three of us finished the game then headed to the todts house at
about 1 1;30 or something played rummy over there till 4 maybe. i
brought ryan home then came home myself.
today is my parents anniversary, shout out to them, 30 years.
thats about all going down.
i am thinking i want to go bowling over break some time. anyone in town wanna go (or out of town if you wanna drive here first)
also is anyone around here going to new years family camp? i am thinking of going but would need a ride. lemme know

Question: what are you getting me for my birthday?
In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme
don't really have that much to talk about, so here are the mundane
details of today
i can't remember if i have talked before on here about how i started
eating granola with every meal for the last like three weeks or so...
since there is no granola at home i had to go out and get some granola.
my brother recommended cashwise for good granola, they had granola you
can buy by the pound, one brand of granola in a box, and another brand
of granola in the box (this brand had two flavors)
of the two by the pound types one was brown sugar granola, the other
was french vanilla granola. the first brand of of boxed granola was
cinnamon and raison granola. i forgot what kind the two flavors of the
other brand were but it looked really cheap so that wasn't an option.
i didn'y know what kind i would like so i got one box of the cinnamon raison, some of the french vanilla, and some brown sugar.
i tried the french vanilla first. it was pretty good, you can taste the vanilla. you can't taste the french, so thats good.
next i tried the brown sugar. you couldn't taste the brown sugar at
all, you couldn't taste anything other than the taste of soggy oatmeal.
cinnamon raison was my final kind to taste. pretty good, the raisons seemed fresher than the other raisons. overall pretty good.
so the ranking is as follows 3. brown sugar, not so good, never getting
that again 2. cinnamon raison, pretty good 1. french vanilla. good
stuff maynerd
so that was my day
bet you never thought you would see me write so much about granola did you

QUESTION: what are you buying me for christmas?

ok so there might have been some confusion in my last entry... when i
said " "studying" accounting with a girl" it may have sounded like
something. but really the reason for the quotes was the fact that i am
not in accounting, so i was not really studying.
that being said...
break for me started on wednesday as all my finals were done tuesday,
came home on thursday, the ride home took a little longer than normal.
the weather was not great. there was an overturned semi on the way home
near fergus so we were sitting still for 20 minutes, at one point a
pickup in our lane was going to move over into the other lane but first
it had to back up, i said something like "oh great, we are going so
slow now that we are going backwards."
the weekend was good, nice and relaxing, no homework, no nothing that i have to do, good stuff
today was a knowledge bowl over at concordia so i got up and went to
that watched moorhead rock it up. it was wierd not being in it at all.
we have all sat out a single round before being that there are 5
players on a team and only 4 can be in the oral rounds, but sitting out
the whole time. i wished i could have played, probably could have
beaten lots of the teams there, not that i am a genius but more that
they are not always so good.
so i am looking for things to be doing over break. so if you guys want to do something let me know.
thats about all i have to talk about for right now i think.
i am not sure how much i am going to update over break, cause there is
the fact that i will have time, but there is also the fact i don't know
how much interesting things i will be doing.

i was going to go to bed last night at midnight but then i got to
"studying" accounting with a girl, it was kind of fun, we were going
over her old tests and i was getting as many right as she was.

8:40 cause he never said different, went at 8:40 and the room was full
of different people not in my class... did some investigating, final
was at 10:30. so i woke up a stinking two hours early.

"i <3 thomas" was written on my hand. i change the banner on some
people's cell phones to "i love thomas" or if it is a phone that onyl

could never get her phone cause she had no banner or greeting message.

wallpaper. sneaky me

CHRONICLES OF NARNIA:
THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE
I
think this could very well be the best movie i have ever seen. it is
amazing. it reminded me of hitchcock in the fact that you could take
any frame of the movie and it would be like a wonderfully composed
picture. The story is great, it stuck pretty close to the book. a few
things were a little different but nothing major. Its a great movie, i
recommend that you all go see it. i paid 10 dollars cause we saw it at
a big screen, it was great, it was definately worth it. there has never
been a movie i have seen twice in the theatres when it was new, i think
i will for this one. if anyone wants to see it together once i am home
i just might take you up on it.
5 out of 5 stars. maybe even 6 stars
whenever this comes out on dvd i am buying. no questions asked
go see it its great.
read it too.
In God's Hands,
thomas kvamme

well this weekend was fun. we watched the entire thrid season of 24
over friday saturday and suday. season 4 comes out on tuesday and
brandon is buying it and we are watching that next saturday. marathon
style. 10am saturday untill 2 am sunday. (it only take sixteen hours to
watch an hour show without comercials.) then season 5 starts on tv jan
15.
man is this a good show
we had so many people watching 24. we had at least 12 in my dorm at
once watching it. we moved in an additional 2 couches and a chair. and
some people were on the beds and some on the floor. it was packed.
then last night we we going to get pizza and there was a coupon for 3
dollar medium pizzas, no limit on how many you can get. so we asked a
bunch of people if tey wanted some. our was really big. largest amount
of pizza i have ever gotten. it was a whole lot of pizza. making the
order over the phone was really fun. the gu was kind of confused at
first.
yesterday i was also a doorman at christmas at northwestern. it was
good. i didn't get a top hat though, no one did. i was disappointed.
but i did get paid. for a whole hours work. so i made $6.25. probably
the littlest paycheck i have ever gotten or will ever get. not that i
am complaining about getting money.
so here at NWC we get 300 pages to print each semester, color pages
count as 3 pages. i had about 190 pages left to print still even tough
i have been working on wasting them. so now i am making door sized
posters to put on my door and another for a guy down the hall. and a
poster to put on our wall. so that was 24 pages, 24 pages, and 6 pages,
all in color so i used 162 pages worth. only few left now.
