8.9 – although the cool ranch doritos i just had didn’t really hit the spot like I was expecting them to. Here’s a picture of Steph, Seeley and I
Shout out to…
Miller for the crazy bread last night and Molly for the info about the ‘Seattle Metropolotin’ pizza magazine and to steph for buying it for me! I’m excited to read it, and then try every place in there. Just trying to give credit where credit is due

Wow Duke-maryland and Kansas-kansas state on the same night, what a lineup! kind of…considering the game featuring possibly two #1 seeds in the tournament (kansas and kansas state) isn’t even on TV. It is on espn360, which Seattle gets now and I think is pretty darn sweet, but I remember when the same thing happened 2 years ago for the KU-ksu game and I was hitting refresh on my computer browser every 15 seconds. One of these days somebody should probably just pick it up – maybe the ocho?
Lately I’m thinking…
I think that Wednesdays are consistently my worst days of updates throughout the week

First of all sorry for repeating gadget material, both Tanner’s and Joe’s, but this is a pretty solid picture and I don’t have any other ones up yet. Boy am I glad we didn’t lose in beer pong to these two, that would have been embarassing.
Lately I’m thinking…
Joey that Dolphin boat is crazy (click here if you have no idea what I’m talking about). I’ve basically been thinking about it non stop since yesterday. Apparently it starts around $48,000, which is a lot of money for a little boat thing that only holds two people at most, but at the same time it also seems pretty cheap for a dolphin boat!!!

Oh geeze don’t even get me started. First of all I felt bad for Mitch because i knew he was watching an episode last night for the first time. Second of all that’s ridiculous he picked Vienna. That was only the beginning of the rollercoaster though. I’ve never watched an episode of dancing with the stars before, and didn’t plan to, until I saw Ochocinco was going to be on it, along with Erin Andrews and 98 year old Buzz Aldren!! Then I was like “crap what if i want to watch that”. Well then that was followed up by the announcement Jake the bachelor was going to be on it, and that’s going to be a disaster so now i don’t want to. Then the bachelor concluded with that uber crappy “on the wings of love song”, but it got even worse when they had the guy do a live version of during the “after the rose” ceremony. Anyways, sorry, the whole evening was just stressful. Oh ya and I wrote off the bachelor forever, and then they obviously picked ali as the next one. I really really hope that’s not enough to get me suckered in again. Oh and Jason and what’s her names wedding is on TV now…paleeze

A Monday 9.8! I’m actually feeling pretty refreshed today, which is somewhat surprising considering we basically spent 2 of the last 3 days driving, and the day in between that was, well pretty social. Hopefully later this week I’ll be able to pull together some pictures and video, but until then here’s the one photo from my phone. Not sure what those two were pondering, but I’m guessing they were having a hard time at that point
Shout out to…
Tanner, Jakers and Steph for all running the half marathon and beating their time from last year!! I’m very impressed. Also shout out to Mikey and Fariah for joining me at the Filling Station during the race, so I could also improve the “time” I had. (thanks for the pun Mitch)
This is really interesting…
Well this year I was actually able to hear the race director talking into his megaphone that might be solar powered or something. He had a couple zingers including “If you get lost during the race there’s a map on the back of your T-shirt”. Mariah then informed me that every joke was the same as last year though. Maybe that’s why they’re okay with nobody hearing him.
This is really interesting…
Tanner and Mariah told me they remodeled the Filling Station, and when I walked in I thought the new bar, floor and tables looked awesome. Turns out they only remodeled the back restaurant/casino section though, I had just never seen the bar area that clean without popcorn and spilled drinks everywhere.

I’m off to Seeley Lake tomorrow so this is the last update of the week. We were thinking about flying into Seeley Lake but weren’t sure what “gate” we would arrive at. Oh ya and we didn’t want to land on any deer, so I guess we’re driving. I’m looking to beat my half marathon time last year of 2 hours by running in it 0 minutes. See you at the Filling Station

I went and met Jake Whittenberg for a beer last night – he’s from Billings and was my next door neighbor in the dorms. He’s moving here to be a reporter for King 5 news, which should make the news much more entertaining to watch. “You stay classy, San Diego. I’m Ron Burgundy?”

A co-worker just came up to my desk to ask me a question, and commented on how organized my nerf darts were. I then went to look for a piece of paper for him and couldn’t find it anywhere, because turns out that “stuff” is super UN-organized. oh well

This was my first “in motion” table top – while we were walking I had to dive at Sputter, basically like I was an offensive lineman going at the knees of engaged defender. Anyways, Jakers pushed him, he fell in the snow and we all started laughing. After writing that, I’m starting to notice an interesting trend – Jakers has been involved in every table top I’ve posted on table top week! First me, then Joe and I, and now Andrew! I wonder if the TT karma is going to catch up to him soon….

Speaking of karma, Steph and I went to lunch at Boka today, and with the check they brought these little mini cookies with a kind of rasperry filling. Steph had one, and after telling her I didn’t want one she pretty much forced me to. So I took a bite and the whole thing just completely disintegrated/blew up into about 100 pieces all over the table. I’ve never seen anything like it, it was like it was a trick cookie or something similar to the trick golf balls. Steph then rolled her eyes and said “it’s weird mine didn’t do that” in a mocking tone. She then took a bite of hers and bit her entire lip so hard it started bleeding. HA HA

(Wow lot’s of interesting stuff today) Steph and I started to watch Frost Nixon from Netflix last night at like 9:00. We were pretty distracted though and each had to stop the movie to answer a phone call. By the time it was 9:30 we decided it was too late and would just watch it the next day. So we started flipping through the comcast guide on TV and there was nothing on, but on HBO they were showing…you guessed it, Frost Nixon!! I clicked on it to see where it was in the movie and it was honestly less than 10 seconds earlier than where we stopped the DVD – it was almost like just taking the DVD off pause. So we just proceeded to watch the whole rest of the movie on HBO. It felt kind of weird mailing the netflix back this morning, considering we only watched about a 1/4 of the actual DVD
Shout out to…
Miss McRae and Heather – sounds like they are doing quite the number cleaning up the basement on Ave F. Don’t throw away my Sega Genesis!

I don’t have a lot of material today, but let’s go! Not sure that this is a traditional table top picture, but it did involve 2 people up to no good (jakers and tanner) knocking some people over and then pointing and laughing at them. Click here for the before picture, including my brand new drink I had made seconds before. Oh ya, and you can also see Jakers up to no good! (sorry if you’ve already seen these pictures)

The Kansas game and women tell all on the bachelor – both were pretty boring compared to normal, although it was good to hear from Ali. Kansas now has a 58 game home win streak – do you know how ridiculous that is? It was over 3 years ago! Sienna is 2nd place with 34 and the closest school from a major conference is Duke/Kentucky with 17

Speaking of the NCAA, Mikey got our first round tickets in the mail yesterday and I also became a UW football season ticket holder. Now if only I could actually go back to college

I bought an electrc sander this weekend and sanded our gate down so that it swings freely without kind of getting stuck when opening and closing it. Our neighbors was way worse than ours, so I spent a lot of time and sandpaper working on his as well. Anyways, in front of our house we each have a patch of grass about big enough for a coffin each (bad example?). Well yesterday he mowed his 3 x 6 piece of grass…and didn’t mow ours. I think it actually makes his side look worse being next to a little patch of not mowed grass. very strange. Oh and I obviously don’t have a lawn mower for a patch of grass that size – i’m not even sure what he used. Maybe I’ll just let seeley eat a little bit of it each day and throw it up, since she seems to like to do that on walks

Apparently there’s a hard rock cafe by pike’s place now. A cool 95 minutes later I’m back in the office – let’s just say the whole process wasn’t as fast as say picking up jimmy johns or something. I did get to see the “pretty fly for a white guy” video though, and was reminded just how good of album Foreigners greatest hits was. Holzer, how about some Juke Box Hero to get ready to go out??

Happy Table Top Week, which I just made up because I’m going to run pictures of table tops the rest of the week. Why? “Well, I have a microphone, and you don’t, SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!” Anyways here are my “friends” Mikey and Jakers about to send me back down to earth. Thanks for the “hug”

Well it was a super nice sunny weekend – so I decided to sit on the patio for a while Saturday after I raked up the 8 or 9 leaves in the yard. Turns out I’m still the whitest I’ve ever been in my whole life. I think it’s pretty hard to get a tan in the middle of February in Seattle. I did have goosebumps pretty much the whole time though, because it was kind of windy if that counts

Somebody brought in sample powder packets of Anrold Palmer mix to work on Friday. So needless to say I had a couple “alcoholic Arnies” sitting outside saturday afternoon. I mean that’s just a fantastic drink, and I know that one totally saved me last time we went golfing in vegas. Click here for a great sportcenter commercial with Arnold Palmer

The new Reader Of The Week (and birthday boy tomorrow)…. Mikey Ouert!! This is Mikey taking a “sobriety test” after trying convince us he hadn’t had that much to drink. I’m pretty sure the standard test calls for you to walk in a straight line with your eyes open, not stand on a straight line, close your eyes, and bust out laughing. I dare somebody to tell me not to use this picture for his birthday next year too. Anyways I now owe you a cocktail, which I’m going to have you cash in at the cheapest bar in MT I know. See you next weekend, happy birthday!

As an indication of how far i’ve expanded my tastes in food, last night Steph made a Thai noodle bowl with chicken fo me, after deciding she herself didn’t even want any – I was the only one who ate it! It was delicious too, I think I’m still well on my way to becoming a judge on top chef, but I’ll probably have to figure out what “puree” is – I think every meal they make is something puree.
Lately I’m thinking…
So there are a ton, and i mean a ton of groups on U-face that are like “I bet you <insert group here> can get 1,000,000 fans before <insert other group here>. Well I just saw one for Montana State fans compared to montana fans. Tell you what, if you find 1 MILLION people that are fans of either one I think you have a winner. There’s not even 1 million people in the entire state of MT, so there can’t be 1 million bandwagon griz fans from there. At least I hope not

During the Duke-miami game yesterday there was an advertisement for a pizza place on the big board below the scorers table. At first I thought it was pretty mean/dumb to advertise for a place most the nation can’t try, but i guess they were targeting people actually in attendance. Anyways, whenever i see things like that I wonder how good they are. I know that Sal’s pizza in Durham is DEEElicious. Oh btw I like hubert davis as an announcer and studio guy

The only thing that makes hitchhiking harder than walking away from the stadium, is stopping to pick up free furniture “on the way”

This article about yet another oregon football player in trouble. I thought LeGarrette Blount’s problems last year were early in the season, but I guess not compared to this year. Already 2 players have been kicked off the team, both kickers were beat up and charged with assualt (one on a girl), the qb is a suspect in a robbery and now LaMichael James is in prison for assault. Maybe oregon should play their running backs on defense as well, as it appears that LaGarrette and LaMichael Laboth LaLike to LaHit people

A couple of quick hitters: The president of Toyota is named Akio “Toyoda” – did someone mispell something somewhere down the line? Or is that guy unrelated but they hired him because he sounded like it would be a good fit? I emailed the great falls reunion committee yesterday to see if i could go. I need a haircut SUPER bad but i don’t feel like calling the place, and haven’t the entire week
