The Autumn Film

Hello! I know it has been forever since I have updated. That's partly because I haven't been doing anything terribly exciting, and also because I haven't been taking my camera out much.

What I have been doing:
  • Snowboarding! The last time I went I rocked the trees a bit. It was really fun. Matt is a great person to go with because he is like one-step better than me so it pushes me to try to be as good as him...but then he gets better so I have to keep trying. It's been fun, but I wish I had more people to go up with. I'd like to go more often.
  • Trivia nights. Been rockin these with some work folks about once/week lately. It's great to finally have some real work friends. One girl, V, is awesome. She's frickin hilarious. Actually she might start doing some stand-up comedy soon! Maybe we can be a team. haha. I don't think so. Anyways, who doesn't love trivia nights and winning free beer?
  • Hanging out with the roommates a lot. This probably goes without saying, but when I was dating E, I wasn't home a lot. Now, us three roomies chill at home and watch movies a ton. I've also been cooking more which is good cause I feel healthier and I've been saving money.
  • Planning my next vacation. I want to take a dive trip sometime this year. But I think I also have to go to Germany in October. And I'll be going home sometime this spring and summer for Meg's shower and wedding. But really... I want to go diving again SOON!!
  • Getting back into rock climbing. I can't say I was ever really a climber, but I did dabble and climb a bunch (mostly bouldering) back in 2003. I've always wanted to get back into it, and living in Boulder is the perfect place to do it, so I'm seizing the opportunity. I've already got hooked up with a great group of climbing buddies and my class starts in March. And I'll probably join the local climbing gym, but first I have to see how my finances are.
  • And finally, I've been working. Hard. And it's paying off. I'm getting a raise soon! Maybe even a promotion (which would be more of a job title change since I've already taken on a lot of extra responsibility). I still love my job and everyone I work with, so no complaints there.
OK, and the main reason I wanted to post was because I finally have some pictures! My friend Aubrea's band, The Autumn Film, headlined the Boulder Theater this past Friday, which is a HUGE accomplishment for them. And they ROCKED it. It was so good, and I took a bunch of pictures. They've just embarked on a 45-date tour, so go check out their myspace and go see them if they play near you! Here's the pics:
