Shout out to…

The Cahill’s who had us over for homemade pizza last night.  I even got an apron to match my beer – bonus!  They are basically the kings of homemade pizza – they have all the equipment you could ever need and the experience to pull it off.  While cooking my pizza all I could think about was quitting my job and applying for a position at Mackenzie River.

This list of sarcastic reviews for some Amazon products Mitch sent me.  One thing they left out however is the “badonkadonk tank“, which I’m sure was very popular before it became unavailable.

Shout out to…

Physical humor, my favorite kind of humor.  Every time someone tells me a story of wrecking on their bike I just think back to the glory days at MSU when people would try to ride their bike through campus on top of a bunch of snow and ice and then BAM!  On a side note, here’s a bonus clip from Wayne’s World

Shout out to…

(a little late) Tanner Keil on his birthday last Sunday!  Rest assured I won’t forget about it and will celebrate it with you the next time I see you…so get excited.  CATS!

The soapbox…

Our neighbors had a “yard sale” the last couple days, only everything is free so I’m really not sure while they’re bothering.  They even put out a giant mirror, free for the taking.  Unfortunately during the night it fell over and shattered into a 100 pieces…

Shout Out to…

Matt Demarais on his Birthday!!  This is a picture of Matt high up in the Himalayas, exploring…oh wait nevermind, it’s a picture of him playing in the snow at Bobcat stadium with some 6 year olds, my bad.  Hope you have a good one papa bear

This is really interesting…

Well Matt, Theresa and I hosted our first off-bar karaoke gig on Friday for a corporate party at the Museum of Flight.  It was…hilarious.  Not only did we host the karaoke for a bunch of working professionals, but we also awarded raffle prizes and drink tickets to different employees.  I think I only said 1 name right, not including “jessica bubly” (i said the boo version) and “hush” (turns out it was Hugh).  During the time between setup and actual singing it was really quiet in the room with people just milling around talking, so I put Britt’s Mix on and got the party started.  We ended up only having to sing one song, during which Matt and I basically just apologized the whole time for “not actually being good at singing”.  “Any Man of Mine” is a tough one

Lately I’m thinking…

Okay this is a few days late, but honestly I was too mad to talk about it earlier anyway…what on earth is up with adding a new star sign thing?  Are you kidding me?  Steph told me they “invented” a new one and I thought she was crazy.  I mean what are they going to do, send out a memo to every person on earth and tell them there’s a new sign?  Then I was even more blown away when I realized this affected a bunch of people besides just the one who got the new sign.  What, I’m not a capricorn anymore??  Are my personality traits different now?  Were there 10 million divorces this weekend because people are all of sudden no longer compatible?  I never paid attention to my star sign before, but now I’m flat out boycotting it.  If anyone asks me what my sign is, I’m going to say I turned it down and don’t have one.

Currently Watching…

okay I’m fully on board with the Bachelor this season, but comcast keeps totally jacking up the channel making it unwatchable.

The soapbox…

I accidentaly rode the bus for about 20 extra stops the other day.  i had to have Steph come pick me up

Shout out to…

Yogi!  We had an epic SPC meeting last Sunday that was also our gift exchange.  well she hand crafted this one of a kind pizza pillow for me! (I had the hat from before, came in handy, thanks Britt!)  Pretty frickin impressive.  We had a $10 limit on gifts, which she said she was way under on fabric, I’m just glad there wasn’t a labor fee involved.  It’s seriously fantastic.  Oh and Steph got a pizza (vegetarian) iPhone cover from Jay that she’s honestly used everyday so far.  My phone is starting to feel incredibly vulnerable.

Currently Watching…

well this is what happens when I don’t get update my blog for 2 days, I get behind, but…did everyone see the Seahawk win and Lynch’s touchdown run on Sunday!!?  I heard someone the next day it “was like a tecmo bowl run”.  A couple days later I watched this from Bonar – terrific.

Lately I’m Thinking…

I’m refraining from saying too much about the oregon game, but what it boils down to is it wasn’t a great game for the most part except for the 4th quarter which was fantastic, and either team could have won that game.  What isn’t very cool is that college football is over.  What is cool is college basketball conference play has started.  I watched the Kansas-michigan game the other day and was reminded about how stressed out I get watching games though

This is really interesting…

On Sunday Steph asked me to look into a DJ for the wedding.  Instead Cam and I went in on this website.  Stay tuned for updates!!

The soapbox…

I’m going to try a joke on here.  It completely bombed last time I used it, but I think part of the reason why is because Steph “didn’t get it”.  Anyways…Q:  What’s long, brown, and sticky.  …….. A:  A stick!

Blade, why did you pick this one?

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week…Jay Blazey!  Blazey was recently married to Yogi and has a dog named Winston, but more importantly is the Co-Founder, COO and Director of Research and Development of the Seattle Pizza Club.  Blazey has also been known to show up at karaoke night, and his new hobby is attending lunches at the all you can eat meat place.  Congrats Blazey, I owe you a blue moon.  On a side note, SPC is meeting Sunday night at Northlake Pizza Tavern.  If you would like to go, contact an officer and let’s do it!

This article by Sports Illustrated about how the real booster story of the national championship game is Phil Knight, not Newton.  Some crazy stuff.  Miami is building a brand new academic support building at 13.6 million dollars. Oregon just built one for 41.7 million!

Currently Reading…

Just finished my first book on the Kindle, “the girl that…” the fire one (number 2).  I don’t usually read fiction books so I’ve just been telling myself it’s a real story, which is crazy!  Apparently Steve Klitz finished his first book the day he bought it.  He told me “blasted” through it.  Oh ya and Steph has quietly updated her blog twice in the last couple weeks, as opposed to once in the 8 previous years.

Currently Watching…

I’ve said since last season I wasn’t going to watch the bachelor.  But we recorded the first episode last week.  When we went to watch it the picture is all scrambled and fragmented which is not comcastic.  But maybe it was meant to be like that – maybe it was giving me a 2nd job to hold on to my promise.  Did anyone see it?  Is it horrible?  Please just tell me to accept my 2nd chance and not watch any of this season.  Unless it’s really good….

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Playoff football tomorrow

you forgot your pillow

Shout out to…

Everyone for a wonderful Birthday and New years!!  I had a surprise birthday party with Sam on New Years Eve at Molly’s house, that more than anything just confirmed how oblivious I am to anything. I think between Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Christmas with Steph, Birthday with my family and my birthday in Seattle I opened presents like 6 our 7 days or something, it was terrific.  Bonus shout out to the Nebels, Ryan and Jen for coming up to Seattle.  Ryan you left your pillow in the loft…

This is really interesting…

Yesterday was probably the busiest work day I’ve ever had, seriously out of control.  This whole week has been incredibly busy.  I’d like to thank everyone for their “feedback” that I should update thing more often though, (I’m going to need a customer service department if I don’t step it up).  I think one of my new years resolutions will be to strive for a greater work/blog balance.  I also want to try to go to happy hour more (to save money) but I tried that last year and it didn’t work.  Steph said my resolution should be to use my phone less at home, but hopefully I annoyed her enough yesterday that she’ll want me to start using it again.

This is really interesting…

Speaking of the phone, goodbye Angry Birds, hello Cut the Rope!!  I recently got it and decided I liked it a lot more than Angry Birds (which is scary) but that might just be because I’m burnt out on launching millions of birds into blocks.

This is really interesting…

Seattle basically had the best sports weekend ever last week since I’ve moved here probably.  UW beat nebraska in the holiday bowl (it actually wasn’t even as close as the score indicated), they got a big in-state recruit who oregon was after, UW basketball swept the LA schools, and the 2-30 Seahawks won and secured a home playoff game this weekend!!  On a side note, does anyone have an extra ticket to that game?  I think i want to go…

The soapbox…

I’m going to MOD today
