doesn't look like we'll hold a bbq for the super bowl. however, cal's birthday is coming up (2/24), and we wonder if people would be interested in celebrating his birthday by firing up the grills. (be quiet about it. we wanna keep it secret from cal.)

The Cal Response to the State of the House
It has indeed been three great years thus far, but there a few things that I feel I must speak to regarding the current state of the house. First off, Danny is not speaking as the 5824 President. He is more like a symbolic figurehead, kind of like the Queen of England.
I agree with many of the things Messy mentioned. We do need more food and more BBQ's. However, this should not be done merely by making more trips to the supermarkets. We must get our neighbors and friends involved in the process. We must encourage people to bring food and drink to our kitchen. This will not only feed our household, but it will allow our guests to enjoy and experience the amazing three tv system. It is our duty to inform the public of the benefits of viewing multiple channels simultaneously.
I also agree with Jason's comments about not needing a hot female roommate. Unless if her name is Britney Spears, Hillary Duff, or Beyonce.
I do have some serious concerns about Danny's foreign policy statements, especially those regarding the South Bay alliance. It reminds me of Frodo's clouded judgments to trust Gollum. We have proof the South Bay has MPMD of their own and has used the threat of force against us in the past. Make no mistake, the South Bay is a dangerous group. Where was the South Bay when bits of our ceiling fell? Where was the South Bay when the ants closed in around us? It is better to fight Mad Cow alone rather than give our movie prop making secrets away. However, to improve diplomatic relations, we should invite them to our BBQ's.
I also would like to propose even more sweeping changes in the year to come at 5824. A second fridge loaded with soda, to be placed in the living room, improving the three tv system even more (never mind the fact our one fridge lies barren). Rent cuts for residents whose name start with C. Less romping around in underwear. More blogging, less hiatuses. A bigger Scarface poster. We must continue to work together to make 5824 a better place. It is truly an honor to live here.

State of the House
Roommates, landlord, distinguished guests, friends...
As 5824 goes in its third year, we must look to our past and to our future. Don't do this at the same time because you will get cross-eyed, and you will get a headache. No, take some time to look at the past. Go make yourself a sandwich, pour yourself a soda. Now, you can look toward the future. See? That wasn't so bad, was it?
When we look into our past, we see the awkward years of junior high, the formative years of high school, and the lack of food in our fridge. Currently, our fridge is bare. If I want to make myself a snack, I find myself closing the fridge door disappointed. This is not how a fridge is supposed to be. This is not how a house is supposed to be. We must make more frequent trips to Albertson's, Safeway, and Costco. The supermarket workers at this establishments are not on strike in Northern California, and we should be thankful. Although if they were, we would make some picket signs that read "Stop complaining!" and "You make more money than me!" and join their ranks. Of course, we'd have to take some of our movie props for protection. This is why we had Movie Props Making Day.
Once we make these trips to get food, we must feed ourselves. Then, we must look beyond our borders and feed others. I mean we should have more BBQs. Last year, we only had one. This is far too little for 5824. This house must be a house that shines in BBQ glory. We cannot sit back and allow perfectly good weekends go by without ribs, chicken, and hot links. We were once a house that hosted legendary BBQs, and we must go back to that. We must be at the forefront of BBQ prominence. Also, let it be known that we will not be intimidated by mad cow. Mad Cal will kick Mad Cow's ass in a street fight. Bring it!
It may seem that we are picking fights. Already, we may have angered some supermarket employees and some cows. These are good fights. These are noble fights. However, if we are to engage in them, we must do so with friends. We look to the south and possibly find contention, but this must end. We must forge an alliance with our friends in the South Bay. This is why I propose that in our next Movie Props Making Day, delegates from South Bay be invited. With our efforts combined, we can make super movie props. With these super movie props, we will fight mad cow and we will win!
In this past year, 5824 has made some serious moves in the television viewing department. In our living room, we have not one, not two, but three TVs. Some said this was crazy, some said it simply couldn't be done. We have shown the world that a house with three TVs in one room can exist, and it can flourish. The combinations are limitless. We can watch three different sporting events at once. Or two video games and a basketball game. Or a football game, a basketball game, and Mad Cal playing Manhunt. Limitless. If our neighbors do not believe in the system, let them come and take part in it. We have the highest confidence that the experience will make you a believer.
This year, 5824 may see some changes. Occupations, school, hairstyles. All of these things could change. We will not this affect us. We can not let this affect us, for we are 5824. We are not simply residents in a house with an address. We are three men that, despite our poor eating habits and our irregular sleeping schedule, stand united in times of distress and in times of happiness. 5824 may be on the outside of our house, but it is also emblazoned in our hearts. God bless.

'twas not my donut.
i was a fake IT guy at my parents' house this weekend. i self-installed a cable modem and a wireless router. my cousin's laptop now has wireless access all around the house. i am pretty impressed with myself. why? usually, something goes wrong when i try to be a techie. i've crashed a couple computers in my day.
i took a pretty bad fall over the weekend. squaw's slopes were pretty icy. i caught the lip of my board and fell hard on my tailbone and the back of my head hit the snow. i lied there in the snow for a while as people in the lift above me asked if i was okay. i admit i was in a daze for a while. also, i tried my first jump. i ate it on that one, too. it was still fun, and i am more than willing to go up again.

Nothing much has happened here at 5824 during the past week. But here's a recap anyways.
I drank all the soda. Jason hurt his knee. Danny went snowboarding. I got my Sports Illustrated in the mail. Danny watched the West Wing season 1. Jason plays NFL Street. I got my Sporting News magazines in the mail. Danny watched another 15 episodes of the West Wing on Bravo. I just ate either Jason's or Danny's donut.
That's it. Kind of a slow week.

The Three TV System (patent pending) was just put to the test and I am glad to say it passed with flying colors. 2 NFL playoff games (due to the fact the Rams-Panthers game went into OT) and a big Pac 10 college basketball game between Stanford and Arizona were all being watched simultaneously. Didn't miss a single play.

This morning, I squeegeed the ice off my car and made 2 decent sized snowballs to throw. Too bad there was no moving targets to hit.
It is so cold at 5824...
...2 visiting Eskimos are staying very comfortably into the guest room
...Paris Hilton came over and she wore clothes
...I put food in the freezer to defrost
Our PG&E bill is going to be high this month. I'm actually wearing a ski mask as I type right now. That's how cold it is.
In other 5824 news, we have acquired a 3rd TV. Most of you already know the benefits of the 2 TV system, but the third TV, although only a 9 inch screen, will add even more entertainment value to our living room.
