From Ethan

Hey everyone. Let's see, it's Thursday night now and I'm still loving Austin.  I've had a couple more great days here now.  I set up my desk in my room and I think it's going to work great for my recording set up.  I had a really relaxing day today.  Ate breakfast, watched some hulu shows, practiced guitar for a couple hours.  Then Dylan and I biked down to this store that has everything- we were going for gardening supplies.  We scoped the place out and decided to buy some potting soil, starting soil, and sort of a window box that we tied to our porch railing.  Then we planted basil and oregano.  We also got some alph-alpha sprouts that we started in our kitchen.  I had no idea how to do sprouts, but a handy youtube video taught us, and it's super easy and fascinating how little it takes.  A bit after that I biked by Shipe playground for the first time so far.  For those of you who don't know, Shipe playground is a nice little park with a couple tennis courts, a basketball court, a playground, pool, and a nice little field for walking or yoga etc.  When I went today there were a couple people shooting hoops.  I asked if I could shoot around with them, but they were just about to leave- bummer!  I'll try again soon.  After that I tried this Pad Thai dinner I got.  It was just rice noodles and "pad thai" sauce, but I added an egg, lime juice and this peanut sauce I got.  It was so delicious!  I'm excited to add some home grown sprouts to it next time.
Alright, it's time for bed.
