Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week….Lexie (Hicks) Johnston!! Lexican is from “memphrica” Tennessee but somehow made her way west to attend YOUR Montana State University. She is now happily married, owns a house and has a dog although rumor has it she might move to Seattle simply for the karaoke scene. Congrats on your closing today, I owe you a cocktail when you move here!

Lately I’m thinking…

This is my last time talking about scrabble I promise. Yesterday was up and down – I lost the first one of the day and Steph decided to do an obnoxious victory dance for 5 minutes. Nice move captain karma. I proceeded to win the next 2 in dominating fashion. The only really frustrating this I tried to start a new game – played ALL 7 tiles on the first play of a game for a 35 point bonus, a 57 point play of the year basically…and then realized it was against the wrong Steph. I’ve now started a game against 3 different “steph k’s”, most of whom don’t want to play me. Anyways, I’m losing right now because the game is screwing me over

This is really interesting…

I’m off to a family reunion this weekend being held in south dakota – I get in tonight at midnight and then leave Sunday morning. Mitch, see you there!!!???  Bonus shout out to Dr. Heather – her flight was canceled today and she can’t make it. At least you’re making it back to MT again this summer and I’ll see you soon as well hopefully. pizza?

Currently Watching…

This frickin hilarious Jake Locker video – sounds like Jake is really talking her ear off at the end.  Thanks Steph.   Jake loves pizza

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!!  note: I’m still trying to confirm if LC reads the gadget or not

Stuff is going down in college football! USC just go smacked with a 2 year bowl ban and 10 less scholarships each year for 3 years. Nebraska is now in the big 10, which actually already had 11 so now they’re kind of the big 12. And the former big 12 had 11 (for about 6 hours), but technically they could call themselves the big 10 based on the precendent of incorrect naming set by the former big 10. still with me? let’s move onto the next line at least

Currently reading…

Well since then Colorodo has already left the former big 12 for the pac-10. That’s just another domino falling in a possible mega pac-10, who if anything will add utah but more than likely add Texas, A&M, Tech, OU, OSU instead. I like the tradition of the pac-10 in that they were the only conference to play a full round robin schedule, but there’s a reason no other conference did that. It guarantees 1 more loss for half of the conference. Besides that our TV contract was absolutely horrible and we weren’t making as much money as other conferences. It’s estimated each school will make 20 million more a year now if it ends up being the pac-16. Oh and even more late-breaking news….Jake Locker was voted “sexiest jake” against jake gyllenhaal on espn sportsnation last night

Shout out to…

The Unit – we’ve officially been in our house for 1 year today. That’s pretty crazy to think about how fast it went by. Just got a couple new plants yesterday too to bring the total up to 4 (yes plantar is still hanging on). One year later I’m still hoping for power blinds though. Obviously nobody that reads this thing has taken my subtle hint to just go buy me some power blinds!!!

This is really interesting…

Golden Tate (rookie on the seahawks) was caught “breaking in” to a top pot donuts in seattle a couple days ago. Turns out he lives in the building and knows the owner, so went in there one night for a maple bar. Someone saw him and called the cops, even though no charges were filed. At a press conference he said “since I’ve moved to seattle I’ve been eating top pot dounts, the maple bars are irresistable”. When Pete Carrol was asked about his said “Those maple bars are pretty irresistable”. classic

The Soapbox:

Oh ya masoli was kicked off oregon yesterday. He was never really known for his passing, but going from heisman candidate to suspended for a year to kicked off the team was a pretty good run!! zing!!

Lately I’m thinking…

Hey what do you know it’s ‘Worst Update of the Week Wednesday’! This picture made me chuckle for a couple reasons. The motorcycles in the background, making Joey look especially ridiculous for being on a bicycle trying to tow a car. And then the fact the car says “car ramrod” and for some reason “dirty south” on the side – was that because we lived in south side bozeman? That direction always seemed like north to me. On a side note – the B Unit and it’s rims look especially polished up

Currently reading…

This is a pretty good article about Jake Locker in the New York Times.  Speaking of, I’m thinking about going to the practice on Saturday – anybody want to go?

Currently watching…

The clock – going to the mariners game tonight. I’m also watching the windows hoping it gets a little bit nicer today.

This is really interesting…

Well we’ve spent the last 3 days watching episodes of weeds on the wii…that’s pretty much it. So I asked steph what she thought about getting rid of cable for the summer, to which she replied “That’s for people that think they’re cool but really they’re not”. Uh okay. Anyways I think we’re going to do it.

The Soapbox:

Tanner, that’s the gift that keeps on giving throughout the entire year.

This is really interesting…

I was at Walgreens the other day and saw that they are selling snuggies for DOGS! Isn’t that completely ridiculous? I mean honestly, it’s a dog, if you’re one of those people that wants to put a snuggie on them, just put the one you already own on them, obviously….

Currently reading…

I tried coming up with a list of my top 10 favorite bars – click here to see it. I wanted to add a little bit more to it as well as some more pictures (especially at bleachers) but it was just taking too long. Also, if you’re confused why on earth I need a “blog” category on my blog, click the “welcome” link at the top of the blog for a little background

Lately I’m thinking…

Holzer, let’s discuss the locker situation some more over a delicious wheat beer from the brew pub – see the soapbox for some of my thoughts though (here’s an article link as well)

Lately I’m thinking…

“Is this tootbrush approved by the american dental association?”

The Soapbox:

Locker was predicted by mcshay as the #1 overall pick, but that was far from a guarantee. I think it’s safe to say he would have been in the top 10 though. And although the labor agreement is expiring, there really is no guarantee that the wages are going to drop that much for rookies. Sarkisian said agents/draft guys told both carson palmer and matt leinert to come out early because pay would change for the worse the next year. Also, for QBs the big paycheck is the 2nd one, not the first, and the percentages of qbs coming out their junior year are much worse than seniors (and i feel especially with locker who everyone agrees isn’t polished yet). He’s also turned down two big baseball contracts before, so money doesn’t seem to be the issue. There’s obviously arguments both for leaving and staying, but I think it came down to him just wanting to play college football one more year, especially after they seemed to figure out how to best use him the last two games, and i’m excited!

Shout out to…

Mr. Jake Locker! Wow, quite the sports news day in Seattle – first Todd McShay at ESPN predicted locker as the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft, then Locker announced he’s returning to UW next year. Then about 5 minutes ago it was just reported the Mariners are getting Cliff Lee from the Phillies. I’m convinced that the Phillies should have pitched him every game against the yankees in the world series regarldess of rest and they would have won

Lately I’m thinking…

Pretty darn fun weekend – we did karaoke on Friday night which I’ll hopefully have pictures of later. We basically just rented out a private room at this karaoke place that has all the equipment in it, and with a banquet permit you just bring your own alcohol and start singing, it was great! “Like to rock?”

This is really interesting…

Well I got talked into seeing “new moon” yesterday with Steph and Heather, and considering I hadn’t read any of the books or even seen the first movie I was really just going for the popcorn. Anyways, let’s just say there was a surprising amount of moms there, screaming and giggling everytime a guy walked around with his shirt off, which by the way was about 88% of the time

This is really interesting…

Speaking of new moon – Heather got a 3 foot tall movie poster of “jacob” from our Christmas gift exchange while stephanie got a “hello kitty” water cooler. I took last with a can of “spotted dick”, which after a quick google search to figure out what the heck it was confirmed that somebody spent way less than the 20 dollar limit on a present.

“Well if it makes you feel any better, I forgot me reading glasses”

Current Status…

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.

The Soapbox:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISS LIPPY

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!!

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
