Lately I’m thinking…

Is this the most boring gadget picture of all time? Yes. But I tried to send it to nebel over homecoming and it didn’t work, so i’m gadget sending it to him here. You see, they give you free ice at the cats paw when you buy liquor, which doesn’t seem like much, but it’s frickin awesome when you get it and usually saves you a gas station stop. Everytime Nebel and I would run out of ice when we lived at perkins place (no room for ice trays in the freezer….) we would just walk to the cats paw and buy a bottle of vodka. Free ice

This is really interesting…

so……when I was in bozeman last weekend tanner i went to the cats paw for liquor and ice, but when we walked in all the liquor was gone, it was just the bar part (bars can sell liquor to go in mt). Everyone was basically just starring at us as we stood there. So we walked outside and got in the car to contemplate our next move. We then looked up and realized the sign said “liquor” so we decided to go back in. Turns out they just moved it to the back of the bar! Is this one of the worst stories in gadget history? Ya maybe

Current Status…

I have no idea what day it is. Okay that just made me curious and I looked, it’s wednesday. (UPDATE: wait it is right? oh yep it is) I had an iced delicious chai this morning to go along with my snickerdoodle cookie from specialties (thanks steph). It’s raining buckets outside. I’m going to REI tonight. Joey has adult braces. I’ll call it a 9

Currently reading…

(this is a reading & watching section today..BAM!) I was watching this show a couple weeks ago about grasshoppers for some reason (honestly i have no idea why, they don’t even insterest me) and they said on the show that swarms have been known to fly to a certain height where they actually hit planes. Well I tried looking that up today while eating lunch to see what the actual height was and if that was even accurate. On the google results page, one of the top hits was titled “4 amazing facts about locusts”. Click here to see for yourself what they are

This guy must have got this flask at costco or something. Keep in mind he was about twice the size of me, so i’m pretty sure that thing holds about a gallon. on a side note, i predict that my gadget is short and sucky today, sorry

Shout out to…

Everyone who made it to bozeman. Also an anti-shout out to everyone who made it to bozeman. Honestly i bet we could have just as much fun next year without anywhere near as many drinks. rosas is so delicious i honestly can’t believe it. three 20 inches in 2 days isn’t too shabby.

Lately I’m thinking…

I definitely would not want tyler hansbrough looking for my puppy. although i could imagine the surprise on his face if he actually found it…

This is really interesting…

As the cats were giving up 16 4th quarter points in single digit weather on saturday to punt away the game, the stupid griz were scoring 21 4th quarter points to come back and win their game and UW was about to begin a game that the husky blog writer Bob Condotta ended up calling “one of the most miraculous finishes in UW history”. Thanks bobcats. (unfortunately i can’t stay mad at you and will travel to portland to watch you play again, good luck!)

The Soapbox:

things i can’t find that you might have: my black “Klean kanteen” which was last seen with freezing cold hot chocolate in it (cold chocolate if you will), 1 black sock, headphones. wow that’s a pretty short list – i dominate. tanner i hope your house is okay and you got the blue paint out of your hair.

10! I’m pretty darn excited for Bozeman, even though it’s going to be a little chilly (won’t be as cold as last year though….right?). Here’s ol’ bobcat stadium on a sunny day. What’s fun is picturing half the people in those north stands all out tailgaiting in the little area with cars to the north. sports. CATS!

Lately I’m thinking…

I decided the meat place stresses me out. Every time i get there I wonder why we aren’t getting certain meats and if they’re ever going to come back around, like i would go hungry there or something. Then i start blaming individual servers for not stopping at our table. When in reality that’s just stupid, obviously they are going to come buy enough times to make you uncomfortably full, regarldess of how many times you told yourself you wouldn’t eat too much. Anyways it was super delicious, but i don’t want to go again for a while. Oh and Molly we made Ollie go, sorry. He did get me some parmasean pork so it was worth it. on a side note, moopie talked about taking a cab back to work afterwards…

This is really interesting…

so even after i knowledge bombed dr. heather yesterday, she informed me that fergie was on kids incorporated. Whoa i never knew that! That just goes to show that no matter how much Dr stuff i try and learn, heather will still find a way to out knowledge me – she has a better knowledge army if you will. Speaking of dr stuff i know that she probably doesn’t – fingernails grow faster than toenails – that’s why it sometimes seems one set needs cut and not the other! Oh and whichever fingers you use the most grow the fastest! beep…beep…beep….KA-BOOOM! knowledge torpedo

Lately I’m thinking…

Cats. Rosas. Mackenzie River. Snow. Cocktails. Tailgates. Cutting St Alumn. Table Games. specs. purple place. okay back to full sentences – rosas is delicous. I like their website – it basically lets you know they have a menu, some jobs available, and employees….it just doesn’t let you find out any details about those things. fun fact: In college I received 3 free shirts for ordering sixty 20 inch pizzas. for the kids

The Soapbox:

A couple quick hitters: Mikey I know you’re on vacation and you’re not expected to update the gadget – but i miss it. just an fyi. Mel Kiper has locker at #4 on his big board. Hey Mel, don’t be a JERK! take him off, thanks. Nebel – we’re tentative on the comedy show, sounds awseome! and i just bought blind tickets for seattle (that’s steph’s bday weekend), good call! Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!

Joey I’m glad you’re going to make it to Bozeman this weekend, and it’s pretty funny that you desribe it as showing up with designated drivers. On a side note, in case anyone else didn’t notice, joey had a tripod with him everywhere he went up here. We went to pick Brittney up for the aiport, and after sitting in the car for about 48 seconds joe got bored and decided to take pictures of us from the hood of my car…

Lately I’m thinking…

“That’s one small step for man! One giant… I have a dream!”

Lately I’m thinking…

Disclaimer: My point in the soapbox is to link to a website that is kind of interesting for UW fans, but it kind of takes a lot to explain for everyone, so hopefully you can just stick with me. On a side note, i’m definitely rooting for the twins tonight – that’s awesome they closed the gap and awesome they changed the rule of where to play the playoff game because of what happened to them last year

9.9 all i can think about it is rosas pizza

The Soapbox:

Okay so obviously if UW would have scored one of the 9 times or something they had first and goal inside the 5 yard line this would be a non-issue. And blaming refs for games when both teams had tons of opportunities isn’t worthwhile at all. (But I have a point so stay with me here) There were 2 big calls that either directly cost us points or gave points to the irish. One was when the Irish went for 2 at the end of the game. pictures show his knee was definitely down yards short of the end zone, but he got up and kept running and got the 2 points. The thing is there was no replay, even though the refs had been replaying every single play it seemed like. Without the 2 point our field goal would have won it. The other was when it looked like Polk (UW) ran for a touchdown, which they called but, then decided to review it. After both the announcers said there was no way they would overturn it, they did and called him down, even though there wasn’t any indisputable evidence of that. Congrats on making it this far – now click here for the demonstration
