Heart Aches
It hasn't even been a week since Anna-Maria left Lethbridge to pursue her acting career in Vancouver. It feels like she's been gone for SO long. I feel awful.
In order to cheer myself up, I decided I am going to work on a redesign of my blog. I know my idea of fun may not appeal to most but it's what I like doing and I'm also making myself waffles. Eating waffles would put anyone in a good mood.
I've been meaning to do this redesign for quite awhile now. Since I've got pretty much the whole day to do whatever I want and nothing but the quiet sound of my crumbling heart to distract me, I'm thinking I'll be able to get a lot done. Hopefully sometime within the next couple of weeks I'll have a new cross-browser compatible and fully CSS compliant webpage.

Found box of vintage film from 1958
The other day Waxy.org linked to someone who found several boxes of negatives at an estate sale. I found the scan #14 particularly interesting because it looks exactly like my Grandpa Scoville. (It isn't him).
Link to Vintage Photo.
And here is a photo of my Grandpa:

Cooking up a Storm
I'm in the process of trying a new recipe. Actually pretty much all recipes are new to me considering I don't do much cooking. Now that I'm an official bachelor I guess that's going to change.
So I'm cooking up some delicious smelling (and hopefully delicious tasting) dall. It's an East Indian vegetarian dish and it's great - at least it was when Anna-Maria made it.

Thinking About Malaysia
I've decided to go on a trip to Malaysia. It's part of the cultural studies class I'm going to take next semester. It's 6 weeks long and after I'm done, with the exception of one applied studies class and the internship I'll be done my degree. I'll be pretty happy to finally be done school.

Anna's Moving
On Wednesday morning Anna-Maria finished packing up her stuff and moved to Vancouver.
Seems pretty sudden? It was. It just started to really hit me today how serious this situation is. While it was happening I think I was suffering from a major case of denial. It's going to be okay though, we'll see each other soon enough.

Personal Best Times in Every Event
Here are my new times from the weekend in Winnipeg:
4x50 Free Relay 1:36.75
With my 50 Free lead time of 24.52*
50 Free 24.63
100 Free 56.09
200 Free 2:10.93
50 Breast 28.95
50 Fly 33.26
*The relay was after the 50 free but because I was the lead swimmer the time counts as a new personal best.

Stories from PWI
The middle finger on my right hand is swollen. At the end of my 50 Breast I jammed it into the wall. Then at the end of my 200 free and 50 free I also finished with my right hand and hurt it again and again! I can't tape it - because that would be cheating, but I'm not sure it would make much difference anyway.
I didn't race this morning. I am looking forward to my finals tonight and the 4x100 relay. We have some really fast free-stylers so I'm hoping that we are going to get a team record - if not for the 4x100 tonight then the 4x50 tomorrow.

Winnipeg - Prairie Winter Invitational 2004
Yesterday at 6:00am a chartered bus left the University of Lethbridge and took the Swim Team to the airport in Calgary. By 2:30 we had arrived in Winnipeg and were in the pool warming up. I got two best times yesterday, one in the 50 Fly and another in the 50 Breast. I placed 14th in Fly and 7th in Breast.
Today I swam the 200 Free and got another best time. I placed 14th. I also swam the 50 Free and got 8th going into the semi-finals. After the finals I moved up one rank to 7th for the finals tomorrow. In the semi-finals I went my second fastest 50 Free time (24.80).
I'm having a great time here. My team has been having such great swims - there are a lot of us swimming personal bests.
Anyway for now I'm just chilling out in the hotel using their free high speed internet connection while watching The Princess Bride on TV. I think in the future all hotels should have free wireless.
