Lately I’m thinking…

That’s it – I can’t stand not knowing if the gadget is going to be dead or alive each day. And it’s hard coming up with goodbye speeches like 4 days in a row. So this is it, the last of the gadgets.  Blade America will go on

Lately I’m thinking…

Goodbye iGoogle page, I no longer need you. It just brings back too many memories.  On a side note sorry for the no update yesterday – we had a 3 hour company lunch and then a 90 minute meeting and that’s pretty much all she wrote

Shout out to…

Zach Benoit!  He’s in town from lovely MT for the evening.  Unfortunately it’s not karaoke night, but we do have kickball and post-kickball practice tonight so that should suffice.  post-kickball practice is my favorite

This is really interesting…

Last year we bought a window air conditioner and took it back the same day when we realized we were going to need to drill holes to install it.  Then a couple days ago we bought a “portable” one that sits on the ground in front of a window instead.  (btw “portable” isn’t the best word, considering the power cord is 3 feet long and it says not to use an extention cord, and also the hose to the window is 3 feet long, but heck it’s on wheels and weighs 96 pounds so even though you can’t move it let’s call it portable)  Anyways the moral of the story is we took it back 1 day later.  We suck at air conditioning

For 80 degree days it’s absolutely freezing in the morning

Shout out to…

Heather on her Birthday..day (seen here in a helmet apparently in her own fantasy world). Heather is really smart and talented basically because I taught her everything. Unfortunately Heather has already been reader of the week, and I can’t give it to her twice before Steph has even it once or I’ll be in big trouble, so Reader of The Week will resume next Friday. Have a fun weekend Heather, see you in May for graduation (the plane tickets are non-refundable, so don’t blow it)

Wow, GREAT early morning round of gadgets, what a great day. Hard to believe stalwart (first time word usage, not even sure if it applies) Joey is the only one who hasn’t updated yet. Maybe he put so much stuff in the soapbox yesterday that him and his computer just blew up? I like this line from Nebel’s about the MSU game being played in pullman: “WSU is lame on a number of different levels. Ryan Leaf being at the top of the list. Having the game in Pullman just adds to their already shitty mystique.” I can’t read it without laughing

This is really interesting…

Steph and I went to grab a bite to eat last night (her phone misteriously died when I was going to have her pick up piecoras) and I figured I’d enjoy a nice rum and coke with the meal. The first time they brought it out I’m pretty sure it was tequilla-coke, so I had her try it again. The next time it came out it was Malibu-coke, which i guess despite their best efforts to screw up is at least a kind of rum. Anyways it was terrible and Steph just made fun of me the whole time.

This is really interesting…

I put a Montana State Bobcats sticker in the back window of the Jeep last week, only the window is so tinted and dirty that you can’t see if from outside. You can however see how crooked it is from inside, which is really distracting and annoying. Maybe I should just get a FTG license plate and call it a day? Or does Maddie already have washington rights on that as well? I’m just excited for bobby hauck to be cruising around Vegas one day and see Maddie in his jeep

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Hopefully I can stop talking about this soon, but still no idea what’s going on with my foot. I called Swedish and made them send X-ray results to my doctor, since they couldn’t tell me what they were, then called my doctor who conveniently only works M-W. So the receptionist tried giving me the results, which i’m not even sure is legal. This is how it went: “Uh it says you have a crack in the meta-tri-carpel-tunnel-osmosis-quadra-lat-rotary-girter….and I don’t know what that means”. Anyways I might have to go to a specialist on Monday. I’m basically just co-paying anyone in the greater Seattle area who wants to take a “crack” at telling me what’s wrong
