This is really interesting…

Headed to Portland this weekend for Ollie’s bachelor party – yikes.  Pretty darn excited though.  Hopefully it turns out better than last time I was in town, although Nebel and I did with the Black Cat 2011 Shuffle Board Challenge that weekend which was a pretty good accomplishment.

This is really interesting…

Steph and I just got on the family plan at AT&T for our cell phones, so you could say this marriage thing is finally official.  We were trying to figure out what plans we needed so we had the guy look up our previous usage from a couple months ago.  he said “Steph you used 750 minutes.  Blade, you used…25”.  He probably thought I didn’t have any friends, when in reality they all just use HeyTell.  Right?  Or am I in denial?  Anyway, turns out my Heytell has been broken for over a month, bust fixed it so I’m back!

Currently Watching…

Okay so I’m pretty out of it when it comes to politics, mostly because I don’t get it, but the other day Brett randomly showed me this video of the previous Godfathers CEO singing a pizza version of “imagine”.  2 days later I find out he’s running for President of the United States of America!  Total mind blower.  Pizza and politics, now that’s something I could get into.

Did you know in gmail it doesn’t matter if you use the period or not?  So blade.imsande@gmail.com is the same thing as bladeimsande@gmail.com.  Heck, even b.l.ade.im.sande@gmail.com is the same thing.  Wait, yep okay just confirmed it.  Thanks for that knowledge bomb Steph – this is a digital world and you are a digital girl.

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!  Ollie, it was great knowing you

Shout out to…

Megan Ramaley for quite possibly the best present of all time – A fanny pack with speakers that hooks up to your ipod/iphone!!  Not to mention the style is pretty kick-ass anyways.  I honestly couldn’t stop smiling (or dancing) for like 3 hours straight at the tailgate on Saturday.  Those little speakers really pump out the bass too (and yes I realize that everyone who was with me all 3 of those hours wishes I had more than 7 club-bangers on my playlist, I’ll work on that).  And thanks for the shoes Ryan!

Currently Watching…

College football.  UW is now ranked in all 3 polls (coaches, AP, BCS) after scoring 38 points in the 1st half against colorado while MSU is ranked #3 nationally after avenging their only conference loss of last year to nau.  Here is a little mid-season Bobcat video for all the fans out there

This is really interesting…

The other day Steph was really proud to show us the “brand new penny” that she’d been saving “forever”.  Of course that doesn’t make any sense, but apparently they changed the back of the penny again in 2011.  Get them now while you still can before the millions of them are one day gone and you’re relegated to just looking at Steph’s little collector item.

Currently Listening to…

My fanny pack

Apparently we have rooftop decks on most of the building at work.  I’m really happy I found out about them just in time for winter.  Anyway, this is basically the weather I would prefer for tomorrow please.  (In retrospect, this picture probably would have been better closer to the railing, and possibly without the vitamin water)

Currently Listening to…

This Friday Hit!  It won’t get in your head and possibly ruin your entire day I promise.  In fact it’s done just the opposite for me.

Currently Reading…

Here is a cool article in the New York Times about tailgating at UW.  On a side note, I want a boat.  I will also settle for a friend with a boat, just HeyTell me.

This is really interesting…

Blind Pilot added a late concert to Seattle on December 2nd so Steph thought she’d surprise me and buy us tickets.  The problem is she’s pretty bad at keeping secrets so she told me about it 2 weeks ago after a husky game, then immediately regretted ruining the surprise.  Well she failed to realize this was at night after a husky game and I’m not known for having the best memory in the world.  So when the ticket came in the mail she showed them to me, I asked what they were because I had no idea, and she basically ruined the surprise again.

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!  Home games for the Huskies and Cats, I hope you can make it to one of them.  I’m getting my haircut on Sunday.  I bought a double disk Halloween CD in Portland for $1.00.  (50 cents a CD for those liberal arts majors out there).  One of the disks dominates.  One could just be renamed “noises”.  SPC dominated last night, noticed a little different beer scene with meetings on Thursday as opposed to Wednesday.

Well big Cat victory over in Portland last weekend.  According to the MT affiliate stations the ol’ bobcat make an appearance (seen here in 2007 – wow that’s a long time ago).  I was thinking that would probably be my last time wearing it, but just realized Cat-griz also happens to…happen before I turn 30.  After looking at Christmas tickets I came to the realization I won’t be able to go back for Cat-griz, so looks like I’ll be watching that here at The Spot – sorry Mikey & Tanner.  Or is it you’re welcome Mikey and Tanner?  Anyway Portland was a blast, good to see Nebel, Shana, and Holzer.  I think I’ll be ready to do it again in 2 years.

Lately I’m thinking…

Did I get a flu shot yesterday?  Or did Mike Tyson punch me repeatedly in the left arm?

Currently Reading…

So I know I don’t usually post Florida Marlins news, but…it’s a slow news day here on the gadget.  Apparently this is their new logo, and if that isn’t bad enough this little guy (scroll down to the animation) is what’s going to happen in center field every time they hit home run.  In my opinion you should also get a stuffed animal to give to a teammate or girlfriend when hitting one out.

Lately I’m thinking…

SPC at Stellar Pizza tonight!  Speaking of SPC, check out our (still a work in progress) http://seattlepizzaclub.com website.  We’re so official it’s ridiculous.  On a side note, I own more domain names than I do matching pairs of socks

The soapbox….

Last night at around 7:00PM the forecast changed from it raining today through Sunday to being sunny today through Sunday.  Although I’m not very confident seeing as how easily it changed in the first place, I’ll definitely take it, especially with a UW home game on Sat.

Shout out to…

the Cats who beat Sac State at home (who last week beat the griz and took MSU to overtime last year) which I watched on a painful to quite painful online telecast on my laptop and the Dawgs who won convincingly on the road (ro-ads, roods) at Utah.  I watched at home with Steph (on an actual TV!) and Bonar who both decided extra noise from a guitar would be helpful.  It was a little chaotic but I’d say football in general has been more fun to watch this year than let’s say oh 3 years ago.  (bonus shout to Moopie for this photo)

Lately I’m thinking…

about whether I’m too old to wear the bobcat suit this weekend in Portland.  Part of me feels like I am, but then I think about it and I’m like “well 30 years old is probably the cutoff, and I’m only 29”.  I asked Tanner and he said the cutoff was more like 40 years old so I’m not sure if that was helpful or not.

Shout out to…

Steve Klitz on his birthday yesterday.  Since he’s working in Olympia and Cyndi was helping Brett semi-move to our place in Seattle it meant we got to celebrate with dinner at Jaks and some homemade ice cream from Steph that never quite made it past the liquid stage.  I would definitely give it a B+ for effort though.

This is really interesting…

I’ve went to REI 5 times in the last 9 days.  I personally have zero belongings to show for it, which is probably good?

The soapbox…

Here are my favorite seasons in order from best to worst:  (Seattle) Summer, fall, winter, spring – whoa weird those are in order, it’s basically just a steady drop until things shoot back up.  (Montana)  Summer, winter, fall, spring.  That was fun.  Feel free to tell me yours sometime.  good talk
