SO!! On to the obviously interesting event of the weekend: the Mudbowl! Here at WWC there is an annual event which involves tackle football in a giant field that has been flooded in advance. The result is massive amounts of mud and lots of fun :)

I wasn't intending to play, but when I got down to watch the game and take photos, I got suckered in. I played defense on the wing for South team and the game was excellent - tied 7-7 until the last 2 seconds. We had the ball near their goal at the 4th down, but North team intercepted an endzone pass and ran it back all the way for a touchdown! Great game and a good excuse to get covered in mud... Apparently I'll even get a t-shirt for free tomorrow just for participating! (check out more interesting photos of the event here: Mudbowl photos )

Now for the less obvious but even cooler news: KRISTIN VISITED!!! She came Friday night and left sometime Sunday morning which was obviously too short, but it was great! We spent many hours at Jodi's house (a mutual friend of ours) - just talking about all sorts of things (politics, avondale, the future, the past..) The funny thing is that all three of us (and even Jodi's flatmate) are all in long distance relationships, so it was nice to commiserate for a while ;) It was great to talk with great friends and it had been waaaay too long since I'd seen Kristin...

CRAP, I just realized that we never had the Milo that Kristin brought! (For the less informed, Milo is not a dog - it is an Australian drink powder similar to hot coco without as much sugar).

Anyways, the weekend has been great! I got to spend time chatting, webcamming, and talking with Michelle and I even finished a little bit of homework.
