Happy Table Top Week, which I just made up because I’m going to run pictures of table tops the rest of the week. Why? “Well, I have a microphone, and you don’t, SO YOU WILL LISTEN TO EVERY DAMN WORD I HAVE TO SAY!” Anyways here are my “friends” Mikey and Jakers about to send me back down to earth. Thanks for the “hug”

This is really interesting…

Well it was a super nice sunny weekend – so I decided to sit on the patio for a while Saturday after I raked up the 8 or 9 leaves in the yard. Turns out I’m still the whitest I’ve ever been in my whole life. I think it’s pretty hard to get a tan in the middle of February in Seattle. I did have goosebumps pretty much the whole time though, because it was kind of windy if that counts

This is really interesting…

Somebody brought in sample powder packets of Anrold Palmer mix to work on Friday. So needless to say I had a couple “alcoholic Arnies” sitting outside saturday afternoon. I mean that’s just a fantastic drink, and I know that one totally saved me last time we went golfing in vegas. Click here for a great sportcenter commercial with Arnold Palmer

Lately I’m thinking…

I don’t remember inviting Google to read my gadget/blog. Tanner I’ll try to put some good stuff in the soapbox today so Google gets a better impression of you

The Soapbox:

Dear Google, Tanner Keil is probably a good math teacher and a decent employee, especially in the winter when he actually tries to put in a full work week. He also has a rapist’s wit. Don’t index his mug shot

Shout out to…

The new Reader Of The Week (and birthday boy tomorrow)…. Mikey Ouert!! This is Mikey taking a “sobriety test” after trying convince us he hadn’t had that much to drink. I’m pretty sure the standard test calls for you to walk in a straight line with your eyes open, not stand on a straight line, close your eyes, and bust out laughing. I dare somebody to tell me not to use this picture for his birthday next year too. Anyways I now owe you a cocktail, which I’m going to have you cash in at the cheapest bar in MT I know. See you next weekend, happy birthday!

This is really interesting…

As an indication of how far i’ve expanded my tastes in food, last night Steph made a Thai noodle bowl with chicken fo me, after deciding she herself didn’t even want any – I was the only one who ate it! It was delicious too, I think I’m still well on my way to becoming a judge on top chef, but I’ll probably have to figure out what “puree” is – I think every meal they make is something puree.

Lately I’m thinking…

So there are a ton, and i mean a ton of groups on U-face that are like “I bet you <insert group here> can get 1,000,000 fans before <insert other group here>. Well I just saw one for Montana State fans compared to montana fans. Tell you what, if you find 1 MILLION people that are fans of either one I think you have a winner. There’s not even 1 million people in the entire state of MT, so there can’t be 1 million bandwagon griz fans from there. At least I hope not

This is really interesting…

He had “HA” written on one cheak, and sure enough “PPY” on the other

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! I ate outside for lunch today.

Happy TIDOA! It’s a beautiful sunny day, and I don’t have any gadget material. Hold on, here we goooooooooooo!

Currently watching…

During the Duke-miami game yesterday there was an advertisement for a pizza place on the big board below the scorers table. At first I thought it was pretty mean/dumb to advertise for a place most the nation can’t try, but i guess they were targeting people actually in attendance. Anyways, whenever i see things like that I wonder how good they are. I know that Sal’s pizza in Durham is DEEElicious. Oh btw I like hubert davis as an announcer and studio guy

It’s all downhill from here – which is kind of like going downhill from sea level. Without a snorkel. No paddle for the river, ya know. I’M ON A BOAT! I’ve derailed

Oh did everyone see that Shawn White has a private half pipe?? I haven’t seen very much olympic coverage, so sorry if everyone already knows about it, and as I type this i’m kind of guessing that’s the case, but click here didn’t. I always wished I had the train at west park plaza to myself, but that hardly ever happened

Tanner I’m having problems updating my gadget too, it’s now a couple click process – i almost deleted my own gadget yesterday! Not sure how you invite yourself back to it if it’s deleted. Anyways, here’s a picture of us walking the wrong direction towards husky stadium a couple years ago. The only thing that makes hitchhiking harder than walking away from the stadium, is stopping to pick up free furniture “on the way”

This article about yet another oregon football player in trouble. I thought LeGarrette Blount’s problems last year were early in the season, but I guess not compared to this year. Already 2 players have been kicked off the team, both kickers were beat up and charged with assualt (one on a girl), the qb is a suspect in a robbery and now LaMichael James is in prison for assault. Maybe oregon should play their running backs on defense as well, as it appears that LaGarrette and LaMichael Laboth LaLike to LaHit people

This is really interesting…

A couple of quick hitters: The president of Toyota is named Akio “Toyoda” – did someone mispell something somewhere down the line? Or is that guy unrelated but they hired him because he sounded like it would be a good fit? I emailed the great falls reunion committee yesterday to see if i could go. I need a haircut SUPER bad but i don’t feel like calling the place, and haven’t the entire week

Wow how stressful was last night? Kansas probably shouldn’t have won that game, I don’t even know how they scored 59 points, I only remember them making 3 shots. That followed by the worst bachelor of all time (yes that was last weeks episode, until this one aired). Ali blew it, then Jake blew it, Jake’s annoying and says the same stuff every week and out of the 2 girls who are left one lives in a complete fantasy world with dancing unicorns and the other is a tramp. I knew jake being the bachelor wasn’t a very good choice but I never thought it would get this bad. Phew, i’d like to say i feel better, but i don’t think i will until the season is over. See you next week

Lately I’m thinking…

Holzer here’s a handy little DVR tip – if you’re wating a show on DVR but then change it to a channel (either to check a score or something or in your case you forgot you were watching a show on DVR) just hit the “back” button and it takes you to the place you left off on the recorded show. You can basically flip back and forth between a live tv show and the recorded one and not miss a beat! Sorry Tanner, I know you don’t know what a DVR is and I don’t have any VCR tips for you, although I have heard that you can get rewind machines that rewind tapes much faster than the traditional VCR.

Lately I’m thinking…

This looks like it’s going to be a great week – sunshine with temps in the high 50s and maybe even up to 60. On a side note, there’s no show anywhere in the northwest (see olympics in canada)

Happy “I hate presidents” day – or at least that’s pretty much what it feels like considering I’m working today. It’s a ghost town down here – all the lights in our building are off and you need a keycard to get in the front door, use the elevator, and get into our office. That combined with a ton of fog this morning made it a little eerie walking into work. Thankfully I had a delicious piece of coffee cake (or as I call it cinnamon cake because it doesn’t taste anything like coffee and instead tastes like, yep you guessed it, cinammon)

Lately I’m thinking…

This is going to be a short, pointless update, thanks for tuning in! Better luck next time. Oh I went to piecoras twice on friday

Shout out to…

Village Pizza in Roslyn, WA – DElicious!!! Must be something about putting “village” in your pizza name that makes it decilious. We took a trip to suncadia this weekend. It was pretty good except for the 7AM hotel clearing fire alarm. The alarm starts out by just flashing a strobe light in your room (a minute or two before the ear piercing siren joins it) to ensure maximum danger when trying to walk around your room by temporarily blinding you every second. darn teenagers.  p.s. steph took that picture with her iphone

Shout out to…

The Valentines Day edition Reader Of the Week….Stephanie Klitz!!! Steph puts up with my eating habits, sits through at least one SportsCenter a day, and spoils the dickens out of Seeley the Dog, all of which make me happy. Steph deserves to win Reader Of The Week every day, but that wouldn’t make sense simply by definition. She’s winning her free cocktail during her training stretch when she’s not really drinking, but maybe she’ll be able to enjoy it after the Snow Joke. A cocktail would be a lot more appropriate than whatever Katie has by the bottle in her trunk anyway.

This is really interesting…

I got my final four tickets in the mail the other day – they’re pretty darn official looking. I honestly don’t know what to do with them right now – just wait and see who’s in the final four I guess? I was also hoping that UW would be in the first round games in spokane, but their inability to win a road game means they’re not going to be in the tourney unless they win the pac-10 tournament. Latest bracketology does have texas and tennessee there though. I predict lots and lots of side bets, and I’m excited

Lately I’m thinking…

Heather I came up with a new rule – from now on you have to tell me BEFORE you have heart surgery – wait scratch that, let’s just say any surgery – not just after. Glad everything’s okay though and that you got a pre-surgery duke win.

This is really interesting…

I did my taxes last night. That’s probably the last time I do them by myself. I felt like I was kind of just winging it in sections. If it was a test in college or something, I’d probably walk away knowing that I passed, but not that confident in some of my answers

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!! I’ll bet you twenty bucks I can get you gambling before the end of the day. I’ll give you 3 to 1 odds.  YOUR Montana State Fighting Bobcats are a pick in streak for the cash on espn today

Britt Butt Hesse on her Birthday! Here’s a picture of Britt when she was part of the 4 to 1 girl to guy ratio…or at least something close to that. One day Britt gave me gummy bears that were actually vitamins and changed me life. Happy Birthday, next time I see you I’m going to tackle you.

I don’t think I’m going to buy songs of iTunes from my phone anymore. Usually I already have the song, it’s just not synced to my phone, and for some reason I’ll feel like I need to listen to some “j-sean” (j-mom) song right then and buy it a second time. Then I just have some random song twice. Or what happened today when I wanted a Whitney Houston song as a potential addition to Britt’s Mix 2010, and then once I bought it and played it realized it was some remix, and now I have no need for it. The last thing Britt’s Mix needs is a bass thumping crappy techno remix to a classic 80s song. Anyways, I might want to “dance with somebody” this 4th of July at the Filling Station

This is really interesting…

There were some classic Hansbrough shots of him in the crowd last night – judging by his face it was actually hard to tell if A) He was in the stands watching his team lose B) In the stands watching his team win C) Just told he was adopted or D) thinking about trying to breathe out of his nose next year

The Duke-unc game tonight. I know unc isn’t having a very good year, but that rarely seems to matter in that rivalry – I think it will be an intense, good game and they will probably split on the season – keep in mind duke has only won twice on the road all year. That being said I hope duke beats them by 40. JJ Redick represent

This is really interesting…

And hear is what Steph wore to Whrirly Ball – who would have thought that the mask I ordered for Joey’s Christmas masquerade party that was shipped to Seattle instead of Billings would ever come in handy? I know I didn’t, but I’m happy I have it.

Currently watching…

Saw a great Kansas win, followed by a good How I Met Your Mother, followed by….a HORRIBLE episode of the Bachelor – what on earth is Ali doing!? Couple things: A) Her job isn’t anywhere close to that important and B)She doesn’t love her job that much and would never leave the show for it. It was either her idea or the producers, but either way it’s ridiculous. It was pretty obvious it was all setup and that she wasn’t really that upset about it. They were just trying to have an “Ed” like scenario from last year. Anyways if she doesn’t come back and win i’m going to be livid, and i’m already pretty upset. By the way, does anyone else agree that Rick Barnes is the most overrated coach of a big name program? I mean they always have tons of good players and hence good teams, but i don’t even think they run an offense. Whoever brought the ball up the court either had the option of shooting with 25 seconds left on the shot clock or turning it over. When they had Durant 4 players just stood around while Rick Barnes drew up “pass the ball to durant and then let’s see if he scores” plays for 40 minutes.

This article about adding a trophy for the Husky-duck football rivalry. Obviously oregon has been the better team the last few years, but I think UW will be closing the gap rather quickly and I like the idea. Do montana and Montana State have a trophy? It would be awesome if it was a live buffalo or a handle of Nikoli vodka something

This is really interesting…

Yesterday I saw a commercial for Dove body wash that had women compare the results of washing a mirror with soap compared to dove. The dove apparently left the mirror looking cleaner?? Let’s see, judging by that test I would rank body washes in this order: Spray Away Glass Cleaner, Windex, 409, Dove Body Wash, Bar Soap

The Soapbox:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDIE AND SHANA! Nebel is a sucker for living with people born on February 9th apparently. Oh, and maybe I’m just talking crazy today, but the idea of a family reunion in vegas doesn’t terrify me right now like it usually does.
