Lately I’m Thinking…

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!!  I have a lot to be thankful for this year, including my 4 readers.  Tomorrow might be a good day for everyone to play round-of-compliments.  Mom & Heather, I hope you have a great Thanksgiving and I’ll see you both at Christmas

This is really interesting…

The other day I bought a ring tone for my iPhone, which I don’t think hardly anyone does.  Right after I purchased it I just stared at my phone waiting for someone to call, but then quickly realized nobody ever calls me! So I pretty much forgot about it, and then last night after the Kansas game BAM “Yo, it’s about that time, to break forth, the rhythm and the rhyme…it’s such a good vibration, it’s such a sweet sensation” – it was a Face time call from Joe!  I was pretty darn happy on a lot of levels.  Bonus shout out to Joe who will be by himself in Laramie, WY this Thanksgiving studying.  He said he was going to cook one of those “little turkeys” they sell in the store, which I’m pretty sure everyone else just refers to as “chickens”.

Shout out to…

Stephanie, who before the Cat-griz game on Saturday (Cats lost.  shoot) tried to surprise me by setting up the fog machine.  Unfortunately she accidentally put in bubble juice (from my bubble machine) so hopefully the whole thing isn’t broken, but it was a nice gesture anyway.  (fog machine pictures are usually a lot cooler with lots of fog BTW)

Currently Watching…

Speaking of dead turkeys (kind of), here is a funny taxidermy video Britt sent me.  Speaking of Britt, she actually made that “pizza is a vegetable” picture for me last update, so nice work!  Speaking of making pictures, I made the one I used today with a little bit of computer magic.  And it all comes full circle.

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!  Hope to see you at the Apple Cup on Saturday, preferable in warm and sunny weather.  On a side note, it’s practically raining from the ground up here.

FRONT PAGE NEWS – PIZZA IS A VEGETABLE.  USA!  USA!  USA! I just became the healthiest person in America overnight.  My food pyramid is now complete.  I even had vegetables for lunch.  My only real concern now is maybe I eat too many vegetables.  I’m not even sure if that’s a real problem though.  (thanks for the photo Britt, and to Cyndi for breaking the news to me the instant she found out)

This is really interesting…

After adding a new south end to the stadium earlier this year, they decided basically in the middle of winter to add lights to Bobcat Stadium as well.  They really help to show that you can’t see anything, which is nice.  Anyway, I’m pretty bummed I’m not going to be there tomorrow, although the bar will probably be a touch warmer, especially if I’m wearing fur.

This is really interesting…

Seeley duped me with the ol’ bait-and-switch the other night.  She was actually really restless like she needed a walk, so I dragged myself off the couch and the second I passed her she ran over, jumped up into my spot and laid on my pillow.  I thought about going on a walk by myself just to prove a point, but ultimately concluded she wouldn’t give a crap.

Lately I’m thinking…

RArrrrrrrrrrrrr.  Also this commercial makes me laugh.  Especially when the toilet paper explodes.

The soapbox…

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone.  Go Cats & Go Dawgs (I’m going to attempt to watch both back-to-back).

Lately I’m thinking…

Happy CAT-griz week.  Here is what we in the biz like to call a little bit of a “hype” video.

Currently Reading…

This was a really interesting article on Coach K breaking the win record, and on his relationship with Bob Knight, a lot of which I never knew about

Currently Watching…

(lot of links today) Here is a web cam on the Husky Stadium renovation.  Also a quick reminder that after a sunny start to the day it’s not very nice out

This is really interesting…

Here is a little perspective on how big earth is, thanks to our little friend in the junior space program, Jeff Bonar.  (If you can’t see earth at the end, then you probably need a bigger computer screen)

The soapbox…

Here is an IM from Tanner today:  “we were at Cat Chat last night, and there were a couple guys at our table that were at the Portland game. Someone started talking about you and they said one of their friends saw you at the game and said something like “wow, that guy in the kid’s bobcat costume looks like he’s about 30”.  Crazy, I can’t believe I look 30.  That’s weird.  If they thought I looked old 2 months ago, imagine how old I’ll look Saturday!  Speaking of 30…HAPPY BIRTHDAY JAKERS.  This year we spell old, J.A.K.E.R.S

well UW got absolutely pummeled by usc, which brings us to our next point…Happy Cat-griz week!  This Saturday YOUR #1 ranked team in the nation Montana State Fighting Bobcats take on the #6 ranked grazzlies in Bozeman, MT.  Forecast calls for a 60% chance of snow, although I’m getting some conflicted reports as the news calls for possible white-out conditions, while Tanner and Mikey are convinced it’s black-out conditions.

Currently listening to…

Siri.  She’s the smartest person I know.  She nailed our first 3 questions.  Steph asked just before pizza club  “Siri, what are the best pizza places in Seattle”, and she responded with a list that randomly had the place we were headed to (Kylies) #1!  I then asked her “knock, knock” and she replied with “knock knock.  who’s there.  siri.  siri who.  siri doesn’t do knock knock jokes”.  I then said I love you and she said I was a flatterer.  And she’s right!

Currently Reading…

This is an interesting article on Jeff Bezos and the Kindle Fire (which is released tomorrow) among other things Amazon related

Lately I’m thinking…

Had a great time in Portland.  Went by pretty fast so didn’t get to see everyone as long as I wanted, but enjoyed some delicious pizza at A Pizza Scholls and shot about 200 does playing buck hunter with Nebel and Mikey.

The soapbox…

I’m really happy that Zeeks pizza is now in my lunch rotation

Steph is going through a mid-life jacket crisis.  After shopping at REI she found one she liked, bought it, then decided all the reasons she liked it don’t apply anymore and ordered a new one.  Well she’s been wearing that for 2 weeks but still has the tag on it because she decided she no longer wants that one.  So she was going to get UW one but now thinks she wants a “cute” one from Nordstrom, basically identical to the one she already owns.  Anyway….my vote is just to stick with the wolf jacket, obvs.  (I just made up a new word but it doesn’t apply there so I didn’t use it.  But if someone says “do you want pizza?”  I’m going to reply with “obvsolutely”.  Wait do people already say that?  UPDATE: Moopie says no)

This is really interesting…

Just went to MOD today for lunch today after going there 3 times last week, although I’ve still had pizza everyday for lunch this week with an SPC meeting yesterday as a nice little night-cap.

Currently Watching…

This video from Mitch.  Come to think of it, that looks like him on the right!

This is really interesting…

Heading to Portland this weekend for the 5th time in about 8 days.  Figured I’d say hello to the in-laws, pay a visit to Nebel and Shana with Mikey in town, and hopefully watch a lot of football.

The soapbox…

Probably no update tomorrow so have a fun and safe weekend everyone!  Hard to believe we’re going for our 3rd win in a row against USC.  Cats have a bye before the big game.  Later folks

I’ve always thought I liked parmesan cheese, and in fact I usually stop putting it on my pizza because my arm is sore or it’s taking to long, not because I think it’s enough.  But it looks like Seeley the dog (who’s favorite food is also pizza) might like parmesan cheese even more than me.  She didn’t worry about being sore or time (or lids), she just kept eating parmesan until the entire thing was empty.

This is really interesting…

I think I’ve mentioned this before on here, but it’s really pretty crazy.  Seattle has more dogs than kids.  It’s actually not too far off from being almost twice as many dogs as kids.  WOWZERS

Shout out to…

Stacy Reilly who had her birthday party AND got a new car yesterday!  It was fun having you over for breakfast on Saturday, thanks for inviting me after Steph said I couldn’t be there.

This is really interesting…

When I worked at AuuuuuBeta Networks we used to go to Coliman for lunch every Thursday.  We’d call it “Mexican Fiesta” and I would wait all week for it because it meant we didn’t have to go to pho and I could have tacos instead.  (Friday was Stellar Pizza day).  Anyway, I was on the bus the other day and one of the waitresses from the restaurant remembered me and mentioned I hadn’t been in the restaurant for a while.  I haven’t been there in over 3 years!  I was definitely their favorite customer that always got 3 tacos with no lettuce.

The soapbox…

Speaking of parmesan…SPC tonight!  Heading to Kylies, a place I haven’t been to so I’m pretty jacked up.  JACKED UP

Shout out to…

a delayed thank for Colleen & Miller for having us over last week to make sushi.  It was fun AND delicious.  And as one of nicest moves of all time, I was surprised with a pizza roll (a roll.  of pizza) from Belltown pizza, which if you can get over my really weird smile you can see in the picture.  It had parmesan sprinkled on top which I thought was a pretty nice touch.  Anyway, everything the whole night was really good except for that stupid mochi ball I tried.  I’m not even sure what mochi means, but I have no idea how people get so excited about those.

Shout out to…

Molly and Ollie who got married on Saturday!  Had a wonderful time at the wedding, and I think you crazy teenagers are going to make it.  one of the highlights for me personally was hanging from the rafters dancing…

Lately I’m thinking…

you know what’s actually pretty crazy, is whoever was the first person to decide to freeze water, in order to make ice to put in a drink is actually really clever.  I mean, can you image thinking of ice cubes if nobody else had?  It would be genius!  unfortunately the genius who did come up with it probably made 0 dollars because water is free, but I’m sure they were very happy with themselves and had a full life.

Lately I’m thinking…

while I’m in deep thought mode, here’s something else.  It’s weird that people were able to talk to each other on phones before they were able to send little stupid text messages over phones.  Like if they were invented in the opposite order being able to actually hear someone’s voice as opposed to read little letters on a screen would have been would have been a huge breakthrough, people would be like “wow you’re in Iowa and I can hear you!”.  Anyway, both are pretty much obsolete now thanks to HEYTELL!!

The soapbox…

oregon won.  cool.  you guys are really cool.  Anyway, i was surprised how well your defense played and how bad our offensive line played.  In the “teams that aren’t actually evil department”, the CATS won again, and clinched at least a share of the Big Sky conference championship.

Well, well, been quite a while since an update.  I was basically in a meeting from 8:00 – 4:00 everyday last week so that put a little bit of a damper on things.  Anyway, welcome to the HALLOWEEN edition (just in time for November).  Here are our (two words back-to-back that sound the same but are spelled different.  Bac-to-bak ‘ers I’ll call em) pumpkins from Halloween.  Seeley probably did the best job out of all of us with her mini pumpkin.

This is really interesting…

Went as pizza slice to the Husky game on Saturday.  The best part was I kept hearing people say “hey there’s the pizza guy” to which I always thought to myself “yes”.  The worst part was it had mushrooms on it that wouldn’t come off, and sometimes really hungry people would just stare at me, which was kind of scary.  Thanks for the last minute costume Steph

This is really interesting…

Steph decided to join me in the “pretty much the only foods that blade likes” theme and go as a taco for the game, but at the last minute decided she wanted to wear normal clothes, so instead I just walked around the entire day carrying a taco costume as a backup.  Luckily, I did manage to get this clip before she changed, which is kind of ironic now looking back, because she actually *wasn’t* a taco when we left.

This is really interesting…

Britt saw this guy dressed up for Halloween at the grocery store on Friday night.  Basically his Halloween is my real life.

The soapbox…

Between the 4 bags of candy we bought and the 0 trick-or-treaters we had I’d say it’s a party at our house right now.
