Yes i know, 2 posts in a matter of hours. With the whole crooked creek thing looming (don’t think i should use the word looming because i am excited to go), meaning no computer, no xbox (well actually it would be no xbox anyway because of the 3 red light error, i was young and stupid and thought my xbox was immortal then BAM! stopped working, sad day but fortunately microsoft is kindly footing the bill to reunite me and my long lost love, to the chigrin of the people living in the house that contains the couch i am sleeping on (basically i’m homeless, a nomad really traveling from house to house searching for an open couch with the super duper fall back plan of sleeping in round rock, hoping to not pay a dime of rent this summer before my move to houston (which won’t be official until i join the “houston,tx” facebook network, oh what a miserable day that will be for my heart))), no ipod (not that i listen to them all that much), no lake (that part actually bothers me) for a week or so. I’m not so attached to the computer that i’m going into any sort of shock or anything, this place will be freakin’ amazing, i’m just merely explaining why i’m getting 2 posts outta the way (because i can’t post all week).
As i go further and further into summer, i’ll be adding more criteria and hopefully developing a running list of my personal criteria to the greatest summer matt adams (thats me!) has ever known.
1. # of hours spent on lake – this is a NO BRAINER. Honestly i would take lake over ocean, mainly because the ocean has sharks that feed on the blood of humans. That’s not the reason but in all seriousness, the lake is one of my favorite places. Everything is better by a lake, including but not limited too sleeping, playing cards, hanging out, eating, etc etc i think you get the idea. I might name my first son Lake Adams (eh not unique enough, L4ke Adams? L8ke Adams? D’Lake Adams? I’m still working on this).
2. # of plane trips – This does not necessarily mean commercial flights, this means flights with devin voelter to the great unknowns of Texas such as llano to eat coopers bbq (THATS A FREAKIN CHECK). The coolest thing about flying with devin (besides the whole flying thing) is that he has conversations over the radio completely in numbers. Its like i’m using my puzzle solving skills acquired from watching National Treasure 2 everytime he talks to the tower.
3. # of shirts made – The one i’m really wanting to make, which WILL happen when i get back from camp is “Summer is better then not summer”. Yep its happening.
4.# of new restaurants tried in austin – This should be a post or a list all on its own. This week i knocked off Zocala (the place next door to Galaxy Cafe, owned by the same people).
5. # of Imaxes Seen – i still want to see dolphins and whales
6. # of movies seen at midnight premier – duh.
7. # of sno beach consumed – i should make it my goal to try every flavor at sno beach, however i’ve encountered a slight problem of “i only get wedding cake with cream”. That problem has put a slight dent in my ability to try other flavors.
8.# of hours spent playing volleyball – The only problem with this is i have written playing 6 vs 6 as an acceptable form of volleyball. I’m going to call that sitball or something like that, because i can sit in the sand during the game and the team will not face consequences as there are already too many people on the court.
That’s all i have for now, more to come later.
