Parkour!

Hey all,

Sorry I didn't post last weekend. I was was busy driving back up from Mudd, where I had a terrifically fantastic time!

The exciting news from this weekend is that I learned some parkour on Saturday. For those not familiar with the term, check out wikipedia and youtube (there is plenty more on youtube ^_^). While I didn't do anything nearly as badass as what you see on the youtube video, I did learn how to roll and do a whole bunch of vaults and jumps over walls. It was really really really fun and I am definitely going to keep it up (even though my whole body hurts today). The event I went to was a beginner jam held by SF Parkour, which I highly recommended if you are at all interested in learning!

This was actually a pretty active weekend, in addition to the parkour on Saturday, I made perogi on Friday with a whole bunch of people. I love perogi, it is just about the only Polish connection I have, despite being half polish, and is a cherished piece of my childhood. What I'm saying is that people, beer, and perogi all combined with finishing Arrested Development (finally! its a great show!) made for an awesome Friday.

After parkour on Saturday I hung out/drank beer with Doug before driving home and then going up to San Mateo for dinner with Morgan, Jay, and Kelly along with watching a ton of ZeroPunctuation and the newest Futurama movie.

Today was generally lazy, though I did drive up to Berkeley and have dinner with Shelley, Sayuri, Corrine, and a bunch of other Mudders going to Berkeley. We went out to Ethiopian, which I have only had once before. It was quite good, and it was surprised by the vegetarian offerings, but I'm not sure I'm fully a fan of taff (maybe not spelled like that), which is the Ethiopian flat sourdough bread that you eat everything with. It just adds a little bit of a sour edge to everything and I'm not sure I'm a fan.

Well, I want sleep, so I think that is all for now.

Cheers,
Jason
