Intercollegiate Quidditch. Yep- It's a thing.
There was an intercollegiate Quidditch Tournament on my campus last week. San Jose, Utah, San Diego… Mexico?!? Who knew.

Introducing, Son of SPY CAR!
Before I could even really enjoy it (due to a rainy couple of days) I’ve managed to get a couple low-end mods done already. Specifically,
• Tinted Windows from Mr. Tint in San Jose, Ca. (they didn’t cut me break, but got the job done in record time, considering it was raining)
• Grill badge holder and rubber floor mats from MINIofStevensCreek.
• Oh and I removed the front plate holder.
Not bad for just under one week of ownership! More pics and info to come!

Not to brag but, I’m pretty good a keeping secrets. I mean, unless you count all those times I swore I would be one of the first people in the U.S. with a Roadster, I’ve been pretty quiet about it. That is, I didn’t mention when I went to the dealer and plopped down my deposit, or when I actually put in the order, OR the two and a half months I waited and tracked its progress from the UK, across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, onto a truck and to my local dealer. Heck, I didn’t even publicly post the photo of my Motoring Advisor handing me the keys. And, it was a full week of ownership before I mentioned it briefly within close circles.
Which leads to my first public post- the “big reveal”, my 2012 MINI Cooper S Roadster Convertible. Don’t hate.

Mmm.... IN-N-OUT!!
Between 14-hour workdays and… well, an inherent need for sleep, I’ve managed to let my quest for fitness fall by the wayside. At my peak (almost two years to the day), I was weighing in at about 142-145 pounds, 9% body fat, and could rock a 20-minute 5k at the drop of a hat.
Now? Well… not so much. Time to get serious! Hence, one last feel-good meal for awhile.

Just to get all nerdy for a second, I have to say that the IKEA catalog for the iPad is the coolest transition-from-print attempt I’ve seen yet! While still retaining the look and feel the print version has retained for 60 years (yeah- who knew!), the 2012 digital version is dynamic and interactive, complete with video walk throughs of the sets. If you want to stick to flipping through “pages”, you can do that too!
And I’m only on page 6! I just had to give IKEA their props. (i have not tested if you can buy direct from the app- that would put it over the top!!). I might have to amend this post if I see something else super awesome.

I was reading a thread over at ModernVespa.com today about “How To Attach Your Patches To Your Jacket?” Which reminded me of how lazy and/or fickle *I* am, when it came time to affix my club patches, as shown below…
Club badge on vinyl fabric...
...attached via velcro.
Club badge on mesh fabric...
...attached via safety pins!
Once again my laziness/obstinace prevails! Plus, when I get kicked out of the club I won’t have holes in my jackets!

In response to Bigger than Andrew Luck …
Makes sense to me!
