Lately I’m thinking…

It’s hot.  We set records Saturday and Sunday.  I like it hot outside, I don’t like it hot inside, and neither does Seeley.  I want air conditioning in a glass box I can sit in outside and get tan

This is really interesting…

wow what a weekend.  whiffle ball from about 10:00 AM to 4:00PM, including 2 icings by about 10:30, then out to Kells to close that little place down, followed by some boating action yesterday.  sports

This is really interesting…

the loft is the hottest part of our house, so we decided to watch a movie yesterday on the computer downstairs.  Steph was complaining she couldn’t really hear the volume though, so I un-hooked the speakers from upstairs and installed them downstairs.  Then about 2 minutes into the movie someone finally talked and we realized the whole things was going to be in sub-titles…

This is really intersting…

I’m starting a new job at Amazon next month

The soapbox…

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the week….Matt Moopie Morgan!!  Great game in kickball last night, it’s a luxury to be able to rotate 2 all stars at the 3rd base position. I think it’s safe to say Moopie likes tailgating, beer and bacon.  Not really sure how he’d order those though.  I owe you a tall can of busch light.  (and just to reiterate, moopie is seriously really good at tailgating)

Shout out to…

Bone City!!!  Huge win in an intense 1-run game!  Welcome to mid-core Orange Crush! (namely Blazey, scotty, and ahern).  I wouldn’t be surprised if both our teams meet again in one of the most anticipated championship games of all time in world history)

Shout out to…

Team Pink (Kellen, Tyson, Skeelo, Nate, Ollie, Brian, Matty)!!!  Wow what a day, after kickball and some delicious chicken strips at Leny’s we took home the tour championship at Greenlake.  Great year and event, good job sam.

This is really interesting…

unfortunately? the fun times aren’t over.  BBQ at Sam’s house tonight, all day whiffle ball tournament tomorrow, and then possibly Kells Saturday night, why not?

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!!  I think Steph’s officially better than me in golf.  Seeley was the most well behaved she’s ever been while golfing, she sat down at every green and tee box until everyone was done.  meaning she’s probably better at golf than me too (she had some glow gear of her own).  “in case you’re wondering my jacket size is 44 long, and my right arm’s just a little longer than my left”

Lately I’m thinking…

Well yesterday was a good news day.  company went to kingfish cafe (delicious) for lunch, Stephanie and I went to El Camino for dinner (delicious), Seeley got a new purple leash and our season tickets came in the mail.

Lately I’m thinking…

today’s lineup is just ridiculous as well.  Kicball at 6:15 against our friends the “orange crush” (can’t believe that team name wasn’t taken…), a post-kickball/pre-golf celebration at Leny’s Bar, the season ending glow-ball golf tournament at Greenlake once it gets dark, and then a post celebration at St. Andrews.  Hello Thursday!  Sorry Friday!

Shout out to…

Team Pink!  Let’s win the tour championship tonight!  Golf is all about concentration (although I’m still trying to find a way around that, stay tuned)

Currently reading…

this website of the so called 50 best Saturday cartoons from JB (Jon Brown, good guy).  I didn’t really know any in the 50-35 range, Thundercats was WAY too low, and #1 and #2 are pretty bomb in my opinion.

The soapbox…

I’m running a new (probably one day) feature called “presents you should never buy for joe”.  Here’s one (Thanks Zak)

Lately I’m thinking…

I don’t know what photo to use.  I took this on our Seeley Lake trip like 2 months ago.  It doesn’t apply to anything in this update

Shout out to…

Miss McRae!!!!  Happy Birthday!!!!  I believe she’s turning 29, but honestly she doesn’t look a day over 27.  Love you Mom

Currently watching…

Bachelor Pad!  Wow that show is phenomenal, I’m sure glad Ollie didn’t incorporate it in our bachelor ban.  It’s 10 times better than the last season of the bachelorette in my opinion.  It’s like the mtv/road rules challenge for working professionals, except I think the girls are actually crazier.

Lately I’m thinking…

We need a Seattle pizza club.  Scott and Blazey, you guys are in it.  congratulations

The soapbox…

it’s tougher getting the motivation to update without being able to read other people’s gadgets.  Anyways, Happy Tuesday.  Oh ya I’m now a gold member at starbucks.  I’m kind of a big deal.  People know me.

Shout out to…

Holzer, Nate, Shana & the Klitz’s for another fun time in Portland.  We ate at “apizza scholls” and it was easily the best pizza I’ve had in portland.  Oh and somehow nebel got roped into signing “like a prayer” by madonna with me at the pengiun.  I think he traditionally likes to rock a little harder than that.  “Likes to rock?”

Shout out to…

Birthday shout out to Dan Buri who turns the big 2-9 today!!

Currently Reading…

This article (thanks JB) about the ref from the super bowl the seahawks were in a couple years ago admitting he kind of blew it.  I guess he apologized to the team at camp last week.  My favorite was when hasslebeck threw an interception, then tackled the guy who intercepted it but was called for a “low block”, since apparently you’re not allowed to tackle the guy with the ball.  Oh on a side note the mariners are 22 games out of first place and just fired their manager.

Shout out to…

Mikey Ouert for buying his plane ticket for Seattle the last weekend of October.  Check out this lineup and then consider buying a ticket for yourself:  Karaoke, UW-stanford football, Halloween

The soapbox…

Happy Monday everyone

Lately I’m thinking…

no reader of the week this week as this is a super late update.  Next week for sure though!

Currently Reading…

Here’s a link to Steph’s post on my pizza eating for the new blog readers out there – pretty good stuff

This is really interesting…

Steph’s out of town but made it very clear I mail a package for her as soon as I possibly could.  So I took it to work yesterday, taped it all up, and then went to the post office to fill in the address.  Turns out it’s a Seattle address, about 1 mile from our kickball game that night.  I texted her to see if i should just drop it off but didn’t hear back in time so I mailed it.  So basically I paid $8.00 to have it shipped to a place that would take 1 extra day then me just dropping it off that afternoon.  I’m probably the first person in united states history to mail a package to someone in their same city

Shout out to…

Some newbies Mike Self and big Jim Miller for showing up to karaoke last night.  I had an awesome time.  There were these 2 girls there who were totally ringers, probably the best singers I’ve ever heard who did a bunch of songs.  And what was their last request??  “Anything for love” by meatloaf.  Well it’s safe to say since I was in charge and had a microphone that my name snuck into that lineup.  Oh and Bone City dominated, obviously.  I went 3-3, 3R and caught 3 pop-ups, no bid deal.

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!  “Well, I have a microphone, and you don’t, SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!”  UPDATE:  This is my 200th gadget-blog update, congrats everyone who read more than one

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m actually quite concerned that icing seems to be taking off.  Anyways Jakers thanks for relaying the message to Joe.

Currently watching…

I forgot to mention that the season finale of the bachelorette was Monday night.  The reason I forgot might be because I vowed never to watch the bachelor or bachelorette again now that this season is over – Ollie and I both actually agreed on that.  I’m a grown ass man.  On a side note, we did agree it would be okay to watch “bachelor pad” because that’s an entirerly new show.

This is really interesting…

Seeley and Steph are both gone until Sunday!  The house went from a fun zone to a boring zone, which doesn’t bode well for the power blinds batteries

This is really interesting…

wow what a day!  First game of the kickball season and then it’s straight to wedgewood for karaoke!

shout out to…

Joey “almost president” Soueidi on his birthday!  It’s why not wednesday, and I hope you take down everyone in billings with you

This is really interesting…

there are a bunch of destroyers, cruisers, battleships (that’s all the names i remember from the game battleship) out in the sound right now for sea fair.  I’ve been staring at the window for an  hour waiting for them to attack each other, no luck though.  On a side note I think it’s supposed to be rainy this weekend for sea fair – how frickin lame is that?  I think UW has a big recruit in too, Doh!  He can say “i hear it always rains here” and then we can give the traditional “it doesn’t rain as much as you think, and the summers are really amazing” speech….as it rains.  (update nevermind hundley is at ucla this weekend and UW next weekend)

Lately I’m thinking…

about Nebel’s bachelor party in Bozeman.  yes please

This is really interesting…

I have to manually type in these stupid prompts because I don’t copy and paste from the gadget anymore.  It’s really annoying.  I suppose this also means I’m not limited to 5 prompts that never change, but then again I don’t usually change either.

The soapbox…

That’s one small step for man, and one giant….I  have a dream!

Lately I’m thinking…

I’ve got football season fever (this is a tailgaiting picture in case you couldn’t notice)

Shout out to…

Brian and Kelly Woodward who got married on Saturday.  Wow what a blast – open bar for a 12:00 PM on the lake.  The only downside was the dance floor was kind of at a slant so everytime I stood up from dancing like an idiot I usually fell into someone, which was actually much more preferable than just falling into the lake.

Shout out to…

my golf partner Kellen at the Jefferson open – we took 2nd and it’s probably safe to say my play wasn’t the main reason why we did well.

Lately I’m thinking…

sorry for the no update yesterday – i was home sick and am still not feeling well today.  I probably would have updated yesterday though if i had a picture to use, but i was kind of blocked there which stopped all my momentum

The soapbox:

Kickball season “kicks” off (ZINGGGGGGG x 100) in 2 days and football practice kicks off in 6 wowzers!
