La Grande

So yesterday I moved to La Grande, Oregon. My apartment is small but I made it very cool, mostly with sweet posters. Also, it is cheap and really close to Adams Ave, which is one of the main streets in La Grande, If you know your way up and down that street and Island Ave, then you are good to go, except maybe getting to the schools which is also easy. But the best part is I can walk to downtown, the movie theater is a 5 minute walk, as well as some great restaurants. Momacita's is 3 blocks away, they have very good grill stuff and great wraps. The other place I have been is two doors down from Momacita's, called Joe's Bean or something similar, they have some very good lunch sandwhiches and good coffee. Going to continue trying new places over the next few weeks. I went to Wratch of the Titans last night. It was just what I expected, not really a good movie, kinda a weird story line with some over the top character development, where Hades went from the main bad guy to a good guy really fast. The action and effects were good, it did really good use of 3D tech, where normally it just looks 3D in most movies and you're like oh neat it looks like there is depth in the scene, but this one looked like stuff was coming out at you which is cool. Decent movie, cool action. It is weird living alone, I had to go to walmart to get cleaning supplies and just all those random things you never really think about until you walk into a completely empty apartment. My diet has still been real good, just oatmeal, fruits, almonds, my shakes, peanut butter, chicken, and meat. Even when I went out to eat I was able to eat clean, the wrap and sandwhich all I had to do was make sure to get whole wheat bread and wrap and go very light on any dressings, then a salad on the side instead of fries. Oh, I also live about 1 block from a Sorbenots Coffee. I have been trying to cut back on the amount of coffee I drink, so I just had one cup today, none yesterday. More stuff I need to get at walmart soon. I am really excited about how I have my living room set up, I will post  picuters once I get internet. I am currently at the library borrowing a computer. The space bar makes a decently loud click so I feel like most of the other people on the computers are probably getting annoyed. I am kinda worried about paying bills, I have money, but just worried I may forget, so I got one of those wall calendars and once I get the original bills for internet and electrice I will set them up online, which will be easier. Rent will be easy to remember, I hope.

The workout today was:
Front Squat 5x8@145, (whoa since I didn't put spaces and I used @ it thinks that is an email, interesting. Also, I had to clean it to Front Rack position.)
Then I did a little over a mile and 3/4, I think, It was 12 minutes going at a good pace, not really pushing, but going.
Then about 200 feet of walking lunges just to finish it off.
Oh, I also did about a two mile slow run this morning to get things going, which now that I am living alone in La Grande, I will probably start doing two workouts a day, the early morning one being a pretty light one.

Today's workout was pretty decent but felt a little easy, I didn't want to push the weight up too high, just cause I wanted to make sure I had complete control of the weights on the way down since I am in a new apartment, I am on the bottom floor, but just nervous about breaking stuff and being loud, for now.
I met another lady in the apartment last night, Laura or Lauren, can't remember, she seemed surprised that I came over and said hi and introduced myself, maybe people in the apartment aren't terribly friendly as a whole?

Well gonna check www.majorleaguegaming.com and see who is winning, there is a spring arena going on right now, which is just 8 big name Starcraft two players. It is actually the main reason I wish I had internet this weekend. Well darn.
