One trophy down...Bring on the fish.

Another week has now past and it is time for me to write here in my blog.  Shayne, the teacher who requires that I keep a blog for his class, suggests that I write about my favorite punctuation mark for this week's entry, but I figure that I'll skip that fascinating, interesting fact about me and try to come up with something that the readers of this blog may find a little more interesting.  If you really want to know what my favorite punctuation mark is leave me notes on this entry and I'll write a whole blog about it another time. 

Last week I mentioned that I wanted to start wood carving as a hobby, and I am happy to say that I have started.  I have successfully carved my first object.  My inspiration for this project was to carve the number one because this is the first carving I have ever done.  I am not talking about just a straight line for the number one like we use when write the number, but the more fancy style that computers use to distinguish a "1" from a straight line.  Halfway through my project, I decided to change my strange looking 1 to a simply trophy that starts out wide at the top and narrows down to a base at the bottom.  If most people saw my finished object, I have claimed a trophy, they would probably ask me what it is, but for a first carving I am proud of it and know I can only improve.  I think my next project will be a fish. 

This last week I also had a great time with Rob as he and I listened to the BYU v. San Diego State basketball game.  Earlier in the day I called Kelli to see if they had the channel that the game was going to be broadcast on.  She wasn't sure, but said she thought they did.  I then called Rob, and he told me about the same thing.  Half expecting to not be able to watch the game, I headed over Kelli and Rob's house with pizza and root-beer.  When I got there, I was surprised to see that they already had pizza and root-beer, which are necessities at any sports party, but I wasn't too surprised when Rob told me that he couldn't find the right TV channel.  Everything worked out better than if we were able to watch the game anyways though, because we were able to listen to the game over the internet, I was able to check the score of the Spurs v. Utah game during commercial breaks, Rob was able to play video games, and when we didn't know which team a player was on we were able to look it up on the internet.  Overall it was a much better experience that watching the game on TV.
