Lately I’m thinking…

Bear hats are a looking to be a hot summer 2010 item. And look, when we stand next to each other it says “Montana State Bobcats”! That wasn’t even on purpose, but sometimes things just work out when you least expect them to

This is really interesting…

Here’s another little scrabble tid bit I found out last night – not only was steph just trying random words, she was GOOGLING things like “words that start with q and end with y”. No wonder I lost – i was playing against a robot with unlimited powers and infinite wisdom

Lately I’m thinking…

Anyways I’m back to playing again, we started a new game with mostly legitimate words and I won last night so I was super excited and super back on board. I’m currently losing though so I might quit forever again – i’m trying to play it cool though

Currently watching…

top chef – I always wonder to myself “what kind of tacos would I make?” if I was on that show and was given any challenge

The Soapbox:

“Well, that’s just great. You hear that, Ed? Bears. Now you’re putting the whole station in jeopardy.”

Lately I’m thinking…

Tanner you’re lucky you’re alive – this is usually the last image people will ever see in their lifetime if they run into a bobcat. CATS!

Currently watching…

OH GEEZE The Bachelorette started last night – what a disaster. That show is somehow tied for my least favorite show of all time and my favorite. This is THE last season I’ll be watching though

This is really interesting…

I mailed our census paperwork in like a month ago, but somehow they didn’t get it so they want me to fill it out again with a volunteer. I got out of it temporarily on Friday, and yesterday when she came back Steph, Seeley, and I hid until she went away. That’s probably a little unecessary, as that just means she’ll come back, but for some reason I really don’t want to talk to her. This gives me flashbacks to when a couple mormons came to our house in Billings and saw me trying to hide behind the couch. That was pretty awkward when I came out and let them in…

Lately I’m thinking…

I think the bachelorette is running out of guys and the guys are running out of things to say

The Soapbox:

Well that’s just great…bears.

Lately I’m thinking…

I don’t have a lot for today

Currently watching…

This video of people just wrecking & falling down (my favorite kind of humor) from my Russian friend Nikita. You don’t need sound, although the first minute or two it’s pretty funny to hear people scream and yell, but after that it’s just this weird techno background music and nothing else. Oh ya and it’s 7 minutes long

Currently watching…

The Bird/Magic show on HBO, it’s really good. I really like when shows like that transcend sports, if that isn’t too cliche to say. I also watched half of the Reggie Miller 30 for 30 ESPN series, but i’m only half way through it. I was going to finish it before I mentioned it on here, but eh what can ya do. It’s good so far

Lately I’m thinking…

Filling out Brackets is stressful. The last couple years I’ve got down to my final four and then I’m like “wait, i don’t think these teams are going to make the final four”, but because of the bracket I can’t think of who else to put there. I’m also not sure if I should fill out every bracket the same for every pool, or change it a bit to improve your chances of at least one bracket being good. I just hate seeing an upset and then saying “I picked that! ..in a different bracket”, and then everyone you’re with is like “suuuure” or “who cares”. I think i’m going to try and have the same bracket in all pools for that reason. Oh and once you second guess your pick and flip it, you’re totally screwed, because now instead of possibly just incorrectly picking a game, you’re twice as mad at yourself if they lose for screwing yourself over. So you think about flipping it back, but now the “flip” argument applies both ways.

Lately I’m thinking…

Welcome to the Wednesday edition of the gadget, the most consistently disapointing update of the week! Ya’ll come back now

This is really interesting…

Here’s an old picture of Jakers and I roping Brittney and taking her down. I don’t remember what happened next but I like to think I tied up her hands and feet really quick and then motioned to the rodeo official to stop the time, as opposed to her getting up, calling us “dummies” and hitting us, which is more likely what happened. Anyways, the moral of the story is I should have been cowboy

This is really interesting…

I’ve done a pretty good job of hiding Steph from catalogs and things, but yesterday I noticed she was browsing a lot of Internet consumer sights. She then jumped up and said, “when I get tons of money i’m going to buy tons of stuff!” I thought that was pretty profound on it’s own, until she said “I’m going to buy 8 comforters, one for every month”

Lately I’m thinking…

Since the Montana fun facts were such a hit from yesterday (0 responses,obviously) I’m going to make it a regular feature for the rest of the month, maybe even longer! So here you go, this week’s much anticipated MONTANA FUN FACT OF THE DAY: The average square mile of land contains 1.4 elk, 1.4 pronghorn antelope, and 3.3 deer.

The Soapbox:

(please note, 1.4 elk is an average, it doesn’t have anything to do with half-elks running around on 2 legs). Moving on………..”The human torch was denied a bank loan. “

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m off to Seeley Lake tomorrow so this is the last update of the week. We were thinking about flying into Seeley Lake but weren’t sure what “gate” we would arrive at. Oh ya and we didn’t want to land on any deer, so I guess we’re driving. I’m looking to beat my half marathon time last year of 2 hours by running in it 0 minutes. See you at the Filling Station

Lately I’m thinking…

I almost forgot about table top week, click here for the highly unnecessary Wedding Top

Currently watching…

I went and met Jake Whittenberg for a beer last night – he’s from Billings and was my next door neighbor in the dorms. He’s moving here to be a reporter for King 5 news, which should make the news much more entertaining to watch. “You stay classy, San Diego. I’m Ron Burgundy?”

This is really interesting…

A co-worker just came up to my desk to ask me a question, and commented on how organized my nerf darts were. I then went to look for a piece of paper for him and couldn’t find it anywhere, because turns out that “stuff” is super UN-organized. oh well

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone! “Oh, I can reserve you a flight coming *back* from Chicago at 5:55. Does that help? “

Lately I’m thinking…

Is this picture inappropriate? I don’t think so, it’s not like i’m a male cow or something. On a side note, do kids even trick or treat anymore? We only had 1 family come by (they were awesome though and I made sure both adults got some candy too). Well i guess we had 2 if you count the kid that came by while it was still daytime outside without a costume on and yelled “trick or treat” at the top of his lungs about 3 times. Steph asked him what he was and he said “James Bond” to which she replied “What!” – he then said he was half james bond half robber and put his shirt up over his mouth. I just gave him some candy anyway, mostly so seeley would stop trying to bite his head off.

This is really interesting…

Apparently halloween occured before it started getting dark at 3:30 PM – seriously i wouldn’t be surprised if i’m eating lunch in the dark soon.

Lately I’m thinking…

What do baseball palyers talk about when they are on base? Almost every time someone is on base it looks like the defender on that base is talking to them. Is everyone friends in major league baseball? Or do they just sit there talking trash the whole time? In the NBA or something I feel like people have to be separated once a game by their teammates for jarring in some guys face. What would they do in baseball – “hey you go over there to 3rd base and you stay here and play 1st base?” It’s really strange to me that there are never fights at a certain base or something. Anyway all that aside, i’m really intrigued in general by what catchers say to people batting and what people in the infield when they’re standing next to batters. I’d rather hear them microphoned up instead of Peyton Manning or something yelling colors and numbers for 30 seconds every play

Shout out to…

Heather – i hope you feel better soon. it’s in your best interest too, as people don’t usually trust doctors as much that are sick. It would be like if a fireman showed up on your front step engulfed in flames or something.

Well I didn’t have a mountain. I had a newsroom

Shout out to…

William “Bill” Anderson who is moving to Italy on Sunday. I like you, but you’re crazy. I’m going to go meet him for a few beers at pyramid brewery at 6:00 tonight – who’s coming with me? On a side note, Bill has taken his pants off in public more than anyone i’ve ever met. I think at kells one time he tried getting us a cab with his pants around his ankles and a cigarette in his mouth. Anyways in can you’re still wondering….. nobody picked us up

Current Status…

Well it’s Friday, I just had a delicious piecoras lunch with steph, and i’m going for after work beers, you figure it out. Okay I’ll just tell you, 9.9

Lately I’m thinking…

A couple of quick hitters: I can’t really think of anything to put in the gadget today sorry. Kate’s pub is awesome, we went there last night and they are covered with halloween decorations, have cheap drinks, and have 1/2 off the ENTIRE menu until 7:00 for happy hour. I’m excited to watch a lot of football tomorrow. Would it be too much to ask for the huskies and cats to both win on the same day?

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everybody!!

This is really interesting…

I only saw one picture where my head was perfectly upright from saturday night, and this wasn’t it. I could really only either drink out of my costume or see out of my costume at a time, but not both. So I spent a lot of time just saying “i have a crooked head” when people I couldn’t really see tried talking to me. It was a super fun night, i’ll have some more photos throughout the week.

This is really interesting…

We are in the latest issue of Demaris’s favorite magazine, “US Weekly” – Ali Sweeney said “The Whrrl” is her favorite iPhone app. As a bonus, Jason the bachelor is on the cover, so it’s a good read no matter what.

Shout out to…

BRITTNEY ‘HALSETH IS MY NEW MIDDLE NAME’ SOUEIDI on her birthday! I look forward to seeing you this weekend saggy bottoms.

Current Status…

A monday 9.0 – MNF tonight combined with a short week and a departure to MOD pizza soon. Oh ya and I wore flip flops today and I think it might pay off if the sun ever comes out.
