This is really interesting…

Here is all of us at the ol’ Pengiun (bar stop #6 on the day i believe, if you count the stadium’s full bar). We KILLED it in karaoke on every song except for michael bolton’s “when a man loves a women”. It was a complete train wreck. We tried salvaging it by breaking into “how can we be lovers if we can’t be friends” on our own, and we were doing really well until the lady running it said “nope nope that’s it, only 1 song”. On a side note, look at steph in this picture – probably pouting because they wouldn’t serve her.

This is really interesting…

So steph reminded me last night that we had to go to a breakfast fundraiser at 8 AM this morning. It was at the palace ballroom and after a quick check with steve klitz we realized this wouldn’t be a jeans and t shirt event for ol blade. Usually fundraisers are at night, so at least you can socially drink. Well, not at 8 AM on a thursday, instead of booze we got egg pie…whatever that is. great. Well the fundraiser was actually pretty good, and i guess it should be for how much we ended up “paying” for it….they tricked us. On a side note every single person at work today has wondered why i’m wearing dress pants

This article that the whole Ivars underwater billboards for submarines was a hoax! I don’t think i’m ever eating there again – they even got a historian to lie

This is really interesting…

This is a picture of the two living things I own – Seeley and my yet to be named plant. I literally started laughing out loud after I took this picture and thought about putting it on my gadget. Maddie, one day down and only 5 more to go on plant care! (even though i haven’t done anything yet, i’m not sure if you’re supposed to)

Currently reading…

This article about Ivar haglund – he started the seafood restaurant “ivars” here and was known as one of the greatest self promoters in seattle history. Apparently back in the day he though underwater travel was going to be huge, so he put giant billboards at the bottom of puget sound that said stuff like “Diver’s special, come on up for fish n chips, kids get free jello!”. This could have also fit under the “This is really interesting category”

Lately I’m thinking…

I’m going to see Pearl Jam tonight! Oh and nebel, pretty good points on the gadget. rats

This is really interesting…

So we all now what happened to “LaGarette Blount” on Oregon who was suspended for the year for flipping out in Boise. But did you know the running back who replaced him is named “LaMichael James”! What happens if he gets hurt, are they going to send in LePaul, or maybe LaChristopher! (yes i am aware my name is blade and i don’t have a lot of room to make fun of different names, but honestly at least my name isn’t LeBlade) (Okay actually when i wrote that i said it in a french accent so maybe that will be my french name)

The Soapbox:

Are you guys tired of me talking about Jake Locker yet? Okay Great! Here’s a quote from Pete Carroll a couple days ago: “That’s the best quarterback we’ve played in nine years here. Jake Locker has ridiculous talent, and had he remained healthy last year, Tyrone [Willingham] would still be coaching there.” and then reiterated that quote the next day after being reminded who he has coached against
