Well that’s what happens when you try to force taco wednesday a day early…it falls apart.
Which means the world is back on track and taco wednesday is on for tonight. Ariba Ariba
Currently watching… Alright here’s the deal – i realize the bachelorette / bachelor is horrible, but I still watch it every week because I like it as much as I hate it. But after this week’s episode I think I hate enough that I don’t really want to watch it anymore. I’m defintely done after this season at least. It’s just the same story lines as the season before with a different idiot. Thanks for listening. Ali, if you’re reading this, i’m obviously just joking

Lately I’m thinking…

Karaoke at the Wedgewood Ale House tomorrow.

This is really interesting…

Seattle City Light has this program for south seattle (i.e. poor people) where they come in and replace every one of your lights with energy efficient ones. They also give you new smoke alarms and shower faucets all for free! They even replaced all the tall floodlights in our ceiling meaning I won’t have to deal with them for 10 years. Bonus

The Soapbox:

Energy Saving Fun Fact of the Day (this is a one day feature): If every US household replaced ONE standard (incandescent) bulb with one CFL bulb it would eliminate the equivalent of the emissions created by 1,000,000 cars over a year and save enough energy to light 3,000,000 homes per year

Happy sunshine on my gol darn shoulders taco tuesday – it’s like taco wednesday come early!

This is really interesting…

We were kicking it on the brew pub patio in Billings and this guy walked up and asked if we wanted to buy a bottle of vodka from his backpack. Keep in mind this guy was not homeless at all, he was like our age. Anyways Annie calmly pointed out that we were at a bar and should probably just get it there, so he just walked off. Very strange

Lately I’m thinking…

I know i’ve had some short updates lately, but work is uber busy so this one is looking that way as well. Just in time for worst update wednesday tomorrow too, great

Current Status…

9.4 – why the heck not. I can’t stop thinking about how great this weekend will be if it’s sunny out like they say. Ahhh thinking of the weekend on a tuesday, that should make for a really long week

Joey and I just put down about 19 pieces of village inn – turns out you now get a free pop with a buffet too – wowzers! (btw this is a picture from the Internet, it’s not snowing here, although I could actually go for some snow if it meant blue skies)

Currently watching…

that umpire from last night ruin everyone’s day – even the guy who got on base looked devastated. That’s one of the reasons why I just never swung at the ball (unless it was a pitching machine) in baseball, mostly only bad things can happen

Shout out to…

Steph and Seeley the Dog – miss you guys already.

This is really interesting…

It just started raining here – can’t a guy get a break? I’ve got an outdoor party and a BBQ to go to here people

The Soapbox:

sat next to a fat guy on the plane…shocker. In front of me was a guy in an MSU hat and a guy in a um hat. I was hoping they would throw down but they didn’t even talk. I guess i wouldn’t talk to a guy in a griz hat either – CATS!

This is really interesting…

I’m leaving for Billings tonight – high school reunion 2010 is on Saturday (this is me, paul, and sloan sometime in high school. Fun Fact: I wore jeans 0 days in all of high school). So far I have the Village Inn buffet tomorrow (who’s coming with me – mitch, joe, jakers?), pizza lunch with Mom on Friday, and “Alive After Five” tomorrow eveing? Can we take bikes? Do I get a dot? someone should probably just tell me how things go down in the magic city these days, but I’m excited for it.

This is really interesting…

Well I scheduled a haircut appointment, then called them back an hour later and canceled it. Then 2 hours later I tried calling and getting it back but it was already gone. I have some serious issues with decisions that aren’t really that important sometimes. I need flashcards or something to practice just picking an option quickly

Currently watching…

This video from work last Friday. We wanted to shoot a flaming dart across the office – we obviously have a long way to go, but it was a good effort.

Currently watching…

Well as Steph mentioned it’s apparently more money to cancel cable and then get it back in the fall than just keeping what we have – so cable stays. I watched wipeout last night – I didn’t think it would be that funny because I’m more mature this year, but i practically died laughing like 7 times. classic stuff. Now my legs, arms AND abs are sore. p.s what do you call abs if you don’t have any abs? midsection? I mean I guess I have them, you just can’t see them. I’ll just stick with abs

This is really interesting…

I’m super sore – Sunday I went skiing and apparently it’s the first time I’ve ever done that judging by how well my legs are working today, and yesterday we put 66 stones down on the side of our house. I’m skinny. (click here for a quick before and after if you’re bored)

This is really interesting…

I really need to get a haircut before my reunion, I look like a shaggy dog. Just called my place though and the only person who can do it today is a girl in “training”. I’m torn, i don’t really know what to do – risk it or just leave it? Maybe just buy a hat – that seems to solve the problem either way

Currently watching…

The Bachelorette obvs, and the season finale of Tough Love Couples. That’s over so it means we can now officially go down to basic cable. During the finale of that show they shot a ton of white confetti all over after the marriage. Steph then asked “whoa are those birds?”, apparently wondering if they arranged to release 1 million white doves to go take over san diego

Lately I’m thinking…

There’s nothing worse than when your next door neighbor gets pizza delivered

The Soapbox:

Here was my Saturday morning – I was super productive and didn’t get anything done. Got up at 7:40 and took Seeley to the park (good start), then decided I would take coffee to steph at one of her showings, only she left 1 minute before I got there. Then I drove to greenwood to talk to “Greenwood Heating and Cooling” about air conditioning. Got to greenwood and realized they were actually located less than a mile from my house in SODO….not greenwood at all….jerks. Figured I’d at least get a mr. gyro out of my trip there and turns out they were…closed for memorial day weekend. So went to Red mIll, oh ya that’s right, spent all of my cash Friday night at the bars and on cabs, and they don’t take cards, so had to leave there too. Seeley and I then just decided to go home where we saw Steph, who had worked for 3 hours that day and still beat me home. We decided to go to El Camino for lunch, but since I was having such bad luck I double checked the website to make sure they were open first. Drove to fremont and….closed. website hours were wrong. Decided later just to go to the actual “greenwood” heating and cooling in SODO and…..closed…on a saturday. Thanks for listening

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week……Kara Rowton!!! Here’s a picture of Kara and Katie “walking” from Seattle U to IHOP. It was a pretty straight shot through campus so I’m not sure why they were having so many problems. Kara is getting married to Stephen this summer in Billings – btown represent. Kara went to MSU (CATS!) and then seattle U for lawyer school. I now owe you 1 regular priced cocktail, let’s hang out!! (p.s. sorry about the picture it’s the only thing i had available mostly)

This is really interesting…

I’m not going anywhere for memorial day weekend, which I’m pretty excited about. Although I could go for some weather more towards the summer side and less towards the end of january side. I think I got seasonal depression disorder or something last night, and then woke up with a minor headache trying to cure it with some coke and some rum. I need the summer to get here even more than LFO does

This is really interesting…

I’m going to Billings next week for a Village Inn pizza reunion – it’s been too long since VIP and I saw each other. It also happens to be my 10 year high school reunion – yikes! Should be fun though….and delicious

Lately I’m thinking…

Only one more episode of “tough love couples” before we can cancel cable.

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe extended weekend everyone!! Mikey if you’re reading this your test is over, good job. Buy yourself a beer for me, put it on Tanner’s tab. Bonus shout out to Farnatron who is in town this weekend!! That gets the ‘thumbs up’ and ‘ok’ sign from me

Reginas pizza & Steph, totes obvs.

This is really interesting…

Well june is shaping up to be an “adventure”. I’m going to be gone from work 6 days, and that’s with no more than 2 days at a time! Vegas, California & Montana – I’m surprised they didn’t have some kind of package for that or something. Anyway I’ve just been assuming it would calm way down after that, until I realized that independence day is the next weekend after. Uh oh. On a side note, I might want to work on my resume for good measure

This is really interesting…

Seeley ate a whole wheel of cheese last night. I’m not sure if she was hyper this morning, or just really anxious to get outside and drop some nature bombs

Shout out to…

Maddie – wow after seeing your gadget and then processing it for about 5 minutes I just pieced together that you live in vegas and I will be going there. It’s June 24th, I’ll keep you posted. No bowling for me though, obviously

The Soapbox:

Come to Wedgewood tonight and someone will buy you a drink!!!! (probably)  UPDATE:  4 seconds after I posted this I found out karaoke is canceled tonight due to “lack of karaoke equipment”.  Check back 2 weeks from now as it’s scheduled every other Thursday

This is really interesting…

I’m finally following my dreams of show biz – I will be hosting karaoke at the Wedgewood Ale House tomorrow (Thursday) at 9:00 PM. It would be super awesome if any of you guys could make it out for a fun filled night! I’m in kind of a tough spot where I’m traditionally pretty drunk when I sign, and pretty sober when I operate machines. In this case I need to find a balance where I can hopefully do both. I’m not sure how well a sober rendition of ‘Any man of mine’ will go over at 9:00 PM with a bunch of strangers though

Currently watching…

This hilarious video Dan Fienberg found with some bloopers from fisherman Bill Dance’s show. You don’t really need sound, but it’s way funnier with it because you get to hear him curse (assuming that “dagnabbit” is a curse word). This is now what I assume it’s like every time Tanner goes fishing.

This is really interesting…

(not intersting) I wanted to mess with Moopie yesterday while we were on gchat, so I tried clicking the “send voicemail” button hoping it would send some default message to his phone or something like “Blade tried calling you” in a robot’s voice. Instead my computer started ringing out loud so I quickly closed it. I then muted my volume and tried it again, but the problem is google automatically un-mutes the volume before it calls, so my computer once again started ringing. At that point 4 people in the office turned and looked at me trying to figure what was going on so i just stopped. I almost got you good Moopie!

Lately I’m thinking…

It’s a lovely day in Seattle – HEAVY emphasis on the sarcasam
