Lately I’m thinking…

Hello, this is the portland trip Logistics Center, how can I help you?

Currently reading…

I saw on both my google homepage and cnn.com yesterday that one of the members of Boyz II Men has swine flu. Uhhh I thought like 65% of the country is supposed to get it or something at some point this year. Seems like they’re going to have their hands full if they are going to make 90s celebrities getting the flu front page national news. it’s a slippery slope people.

Currently watching…

Steph and I went to see “This is It” (the michael jackson movie) at big picture last night. First of all I had no intention of seeing this movie previously and couldn’t have really cared less when he passed away (i mean i didn’t want him to die, but it didn’t ruin my year). But I heard from a few people it was good and since it was at the big picture i figured why not – i always said i could watch pretty much anything there. And I can’t even believe I’m saying this, but it was actually really good. I mean all it basically is is him performing/rehearsing for a concert, which doesn’t sound like it would be very good, but I walked out of there betting there probably isn’t a better concert in the world to have seen. I expected him to be completely detached like ozzie osborne or something, but he was kind of some where in between. A little weird but still right on top of the music and performance, and kind of a perfectionist in regards to those. Oh and heather you would really like it because it’s a dance party. On a side note, i hate when i have to use back to back words (like “is is” back there) in a sentence.

This is really interesting…

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.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!! Thought I would go with a throwback pic as we haven’t had this years halloween yet (it’s tomorrow). This was easily the most gadget appropriate picture of the nose. You guys have fun out there and don’t forget to have your parents check your candy before you eat it. Also Heather don’t forget that you give me all your candy.

This is really interesting…

A guy at work brought in a pinata filled with a pretty solid candy lineup: mini reeses peanut butter cups (for some reason the mini ones are SO much better than the normal ones. It’s amazing actually, maybe I’ll write more about it one day), teddy grahams, take 5, kit kat, gushers, stickers (non-edible) and homemade sugar cookies. On a side note i went to lunch with the company and they spent the ENTIRE time talking about superheros, and something about how it’s impossible for wolverine or zombies or something to be real because they don’t put in as much energy as they use…or something. I don’t know, i mean i was pretty lost

Lately I’m thinking…

Hey remember in college when we used to buy stroh’s beer sometimes and they either came in 15 or 30 packs? that’s weird

Currently watching…

Another great thursday night TV lineup – 30 rock is frickin hilarious. “good gosh Liz Lemon your breath is horrible, when on earth did you find time to eat a used diaper you found on the beach?”  “San Francicso? I asked you to find an actor from middle America—a real person. You’re not going to find him in the People’s Gaypublic of Drugifornia.”

Wild Russia on animal planet. wow, russia is seriously crazy, does everyone realize how big it is? It takes up 1/8 of the planet and has 11 time zones. I would almost venture far enough to say it’s bigger than the sun. Anyways I must be a sucker for TV shows because now i want to move there instead of alaska. Seeley had her nose up against the TV when they were showing wolves. Seeley is a predator.

This is really interesting…

Steph got 3 things in the mail yesterday, including 2 books (i just found out she’s in TWO book clubs because work just started one, that’s seriously out of control, i don’t even know what to say or what to tell my friends when they ask where she’s at) and an exercise ball, or as I like to call them for short “a toy you play on for about week, and then regardless if you have an actual head injury or just came close to one by falling off you put it outside or in storage where it sits for the rest of eternity” BTW our neighbor in the back has 3 different sized exercise balls in their yard getting rained on as we speak

Lately I’m thinking…

That segwey’s must be really cheap by now, seeing as how nobody uses them and they there the biggest invention dissapointment of all time. Well i guess i was wrong, i just checked and they’re still between 3,000 – 7,000 dollars! what! I was hoping to casually pick one up for $200 and start riding it around.

This is really interesting…

seriously click here to see how big russia is, i can’t get over it. I mean it borders Finland and almost stretches to Alaska, and the country is never totall dark because as the sun goes down in the west it’s already coming up in the east.

Happy Halloween Week everyone

It’s raining, i’m not wearing flip flops, i had to get up an hour early today and work is super busy. Other than that i’m pretty good though & I think i might go get a treat!

Shout out to…

Stephanie. She put some of the halloween decorations up yesterday when i was at work, and when i came home i was kind of dissapointed i didn’t get to do it. Then i realized she had cleaned up, made a delicious dinner, and put a welcome home note on the skeleton greeter at the door. i’m a jerk, sorry. On a side note the house looks really good with decorations inside and i’m going to put inflatable bart up in the front yard tonight, so if you drive by, don’t be scared.

Lately I’m thinking…

Joey i forgot about the bobcat colored braces, that’s awesome. You may have not been a great beer drinking partner, but you sure were a good ping pong throwing partner. Nate, i recently ordered the halloween costume i had ordered last year that came a day late, so i think i’m in business.

Currently watching…

I saw the replay of the UW-arizona game last night. I’ve obviously always thought locker was a good player, but last night i got that good old fashioned feeling of a full on man crash.

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.
