This is really interesting…

There’s a Tesla down in our lobby today for earth day. Seattle is going to be the main test city for electric cars with charging stations all over (including in our building’s parking garage). blah blah blah I just want one.

This is really interesting…

Got kicked out of the mariners game last night. Steph and I decided we didn’t want to go drink a bunch of beers there so we brought in ONE mini shot of vodka each for a sprite. Somebody spotted it with me though and gave us the boot. The 19 year old who kicked us out said something like “don’t try to come back in or it will be trespassing” but all I heard was “You guys look like you’re freezing, why don’t you go home, warm up, and finish up season 3 of weeds with Seeley on the couch”

Currently watching…

The draft tonight – holzer who do you want? I really want Spiller – a couple weeks ago they had us “reaching” to take him with the 14th pick, and then I saw one earlier this week with us taking him with the 6th pick! Anyways, we obviously need a left tackle, so I’m hoping we get Okung with the 6th pick and that Spiller somehow falls to us at 14.

Currently watching…

This video of a poor guy trying to put on his flip flops. It’s especially classic when he gets up after sitting down to put one on

The Soapbox:

Fell off the jetway again. UPDATE: as a shocker to everyone the ncaa is only expanding the tourny to 68 teams, instead of 96. That’s great news

Shout out to…

The new Reader Of The Week….All the way from the big apple, Jon ‘Farnatron” Farnum! Farnum invented the international sign of awesomeness (thumbs up followed an “OK” sign) and coined the term “Montana happens”. For example, if Nebel threw a wall paper roll at Mikey but missed and put a hole in the wall, you could say “Eh, Montana happens”. Farnum is an east coast reader without an east coast bias. You can collect your drink memorial day weekend, feel free to wash your face and iron your shirt before going out to collect.

Shout out to…

And a bonus shout out to Mitchell Raun Thompson on his birthday!! Friday birthday this year, well done, hope you have a fun weekend planned. You probably want to make sure and enjoy this one considering next year you’ll be in your 30s. I remember whenever I went to get you a present for your birthday it was really hard because I usually wanted whatever I was giving you. I think i’d at least get one toy out of the deal at the store, thanks mom.

This is really interesting…

I can’t remember a longer week. I mean it’s not like it was a bad week, but the entire time it felt a day ahead. Yesterday I realized it was Thursday and not Friday on about 5 different occasions, incuding the first time when I told my boss “I can’t focus to save my life on a Friday”, “It’s Friday lets go somewhere fun for lunch” and when I left work and wanted to shout at the top of my lungs outside “It’s Friday!!”, until I realized it was still only thursday Anyways our beer pong party was supposed to start 14 minutes ago but everyone’s still working, i’m not sure if i should say something or what

This is really interesting…

We had a big new release to Whrrl this week – not really sure if that means anything to anybody reading, but there’s a link about it if anyone wants to read it. There’s obviously a lot more information out there and on the pelago blog

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Montana Fun Fact of the Day: “In Montana the elk, deer and antelope populations outnumber the humans.” I can’t believe I made it as long as I did without a pocket knife. I also can’t believe we call them “the humans” in fun facts. “She must have meant ten o’ clock at night! I just figured she was a raging alcoholic!”

Lately I’m thinking…

Tanner you’re smart planning a week’s worth of pictures, gadgets just seem so much easier when the picture is lined up. Instead I’m sitting here scrolling through my photobucket account trying to find one I didn’t already use last week. Out of 3 pictures I was going to use this one took 3rd, but i decided to use it anyway, basically for no reason other than I’m unpredictable! what am i talking about? Anyways, I rode this bike to the gas station all by myself and rigged up the beer and ice, so i was pretty happy with myself. Scratch that, REALLY happy with myself. Unfortunately, half the ice melted on the 5 minute ride home, but seriously, what can ya do, it was hot!

This is really interesting…

Well after a 60 degree saturday with patio beers and flip flops Seattle tied a record low last night. Hey Seattle, Montana called and they want their crazy weather swings back!

This is really interesting…

Seriously though, Montana holds the U.S record for all time temperature range with the record low being -70 in January and the record high being 117 in July. What’s EVEN CRAZIER is Montana is the WORLD record holder for the greatest temperature change in 24 hours: 103 degrees! It went from -54 to 49 in Loma, MT in one day. KNOWLEDGE BOMB

Lately I’m thinking…

Unless you were in the market for some Montana fun facts and crappy random stories about last July, this update probably wasn’t for you. But seriously those weather facts are crazy

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

Shout out to…

Bone City – we had a good year. We beat an undefeated team in the semifinal on thursday 16-4 or something, but then fell in the championship by 2. We had 5 starters out on the last night and felt there were some “questionable” calls in the last game. Don’t worry though because the ref was partying it up pretty hard with her friends on the winning team after the game…. Everyone played great on Thursday though and it was a good/fun year and these are the kinds of things that motivate you to be better the next year. sports. kickball.

Lately I’m thinking…

I think I could catch a squirrel if I wanted to. There are a lot in our neighborhood and they don’t seem overly fast or smart to me. I’m scared they would bite me though and give me squirrel rabies or something (squabies). So i’ve been thinking about wearing a pair of heavy duty gloves around so if the opportunity presents itself I can go for it

This is really interesting…

Annie and Casey got married this weekend and had an open bar! Oh man, i seriously couldn’t contain my excitement, and the food was delicious too. Still, somehow I found myself at the bar next door at about 12:30 AM buying tequilla shots. Then someone casually said “okay now let’s go back to the place that has free liquor”. Doh! On a side note, if Annie still reads this thing – Congrats!

Currently watching…

Wild Pacific. It’s basically a planet earth show about the pacific ocean and it’s islands. fun fact: i want to go fiji or new zealand. But a snowy bozeman will do for now – CATS!

The Soapbox:

“Yeah I called her up. She gave me a bunch of crap about me not listening to her, or something. I don’t know, I wasn’t really paying attention”
