This is really interesting…

This is what I wore for Whirly Ball Saturday night – it seems like you just don’t see a lot of people wear a mascot costume (bobcats) with a different team’s jersey (kansas) over it anymore. Anyways when we got there there (crap there x2) were only about 12 people there we didn’t know, and one guy had a griz coat on! I walked up and said “griz coat huh, do you know I root for?” He said “no”, and then I calmy pulled my jersey aside to show him my 3 “Go Cats!” stickers on my suit. He started laughing and then a guy came over with a Montana State sweatshirt and pointed and laughed at him. Anyways, moral of the story is out of about 30 people at Whirly Ball in Edmonds, WA there was a griz guy, a CATS guy, and a guy wearing a CATS costume (me).

unc completely nose dive this season. They kind of remind me of when Kansas won the national championship and then lost 4 guys to the NBA and had to rebuild. Oh wait, I guess they don’t – Kansas won the Big 12 the next year. Oh ya and Kansas lost 5 guys to the nba, not 4. Anways, pretty big game at Texas tonight for those of you looking for something to watch before the Bachelor starts.

Sticking with the sports theme a little bit, I think someone needs to write a manual about when it’s appropriate for fans to rush the court. I feel like it used to happen a couple times a year or something, but now seems to happen a couple times a week. When i see something like #18 Michigan Tech rush the court after beating #14 Minnesota State I feel like calling the school AD and then hanging up or something.

This is really interesting…

I woke up Saturday morning knowing that I needed to take Seeley to the dog park. I decided one way to start the day off right would be to break out the cocoa-motion. So I walked upstairs hoping for a cold day and it was already about 48 and sunny. I figured that was still cold enough though and fired her up. When it was done I poured it in Steph’s aluminum UW bottle, but I dont’ think that’s meant for hot things because it made the bottle too hot to hold, I had to carry it by the lid. So basically I couldn’t drink it until it cooled down because you can’t hold it by the lid to drink when you have to take the lid off – so about 10 minutes later at the park i finally decided to give it a go. Unfortunately a muddy pit bull with apparently no training jumped on my lap and licked opening of the bottle. I was about 93% sure I wasn’t going to drink of out it anymore when he knocked the whole bottle into the mud and seeled the deal. Better luck next time I suppose. (It was still fun watching the cocoa-motion mix the milk and cocoa mix using magnetic waves and shut off at the perfect temperature of course)

Shout out to…

Matt “Moopie” Morgan on his birthday. I hope you had a good time on your birthday, I know I did. I did not however have a good time yesterday, wow, that was brutal. I think i’m still recovering to be honest with you.

Current Status…

I’d say it’s 8 points higher than yesterday, so let’s go with an 8.2. Seattle set a January record for warmest temperatures. I’m still incredibly over the weather here, i want it to either be summer or I want it to be snowy and sunny. I guess i shouldn’t complain too much though considering only 2 january’s ago seatle set a rainfall record

Lately I’m thinking…

Do you think if you lived across the street from a pet store, that you’d own more pets? Like fish or lizards or something? I do, which is exactly why I want to live next to a pizza place. Think about it

Currently watching…

Kansas basketball and north carolina basketball, both have been very enjoyable to watch. Actually I take that back, the kansas game was only enjoyable once Sherron “blade’s favorite player for the 4th straight year’ Collins made that last layup, I need to relax when watching those games. Mikey nice zinger on unc getting it together

Well apparently I needed to see the doctor first today, so she could officially say I needed X-rays, which means I get them tomorrow. She said I should wait a couple days to get x rays anyway to make sure if something’s wrong it shows up?? Is that how far x ray technology has come? “If something’s wrong, just keep using it for a couple days and make it worse, then we’ll definitely be able to notice it.” Heather?

Kansas destroy rival Missouri last night. Aldrich is finally dominating, and had 7 blocks last night, but he has got to do something about that front tooth that got knocked out. I can’t believe he either hasn’t had it fixed yet, or just never takes his mouthpiece out. But everytime the camera is on him it looks like he’s showing it off for some reason

Currently watching…

Oh ya and I hate the bachelor. Okay I love it, but it’s painful. Heather good call on Tenley probably going to the final 3 because you’re right, she lives in a fantasy world, and so does jake.

This is really interesting…

(not interesting, obvs) I took this picture at the Blazer game we went to over Christmas, because I wondered how on earth people found their seats at the Rose Garden and what section this meant we were in. When I got to our seats to show Steph she just said “uh that’s where the sections start and end, it wraps around”. Good point. At least when I was taking the picture nobody bumped me and spilled my beer. not

Currently watching…

speaking of basketball (oh by the way this is also not really interesting) this video that shows Cole Aldrich, a graduate student team manager and 2 friends hitting 4 half court shots in a row. This just goes to prove that Kansas doesn’t rebuild its graduate student managers, it reloads. (Click here to see it)

This is really interesting…

The last 3 days we’ve had about 15-30 minutes of nerf wars at work, it’s pretty intense. I’m usually tired afterwards and I don’t even leave my desk. I’m starting to think this is going to turn into an arms race, so there’s a 0% chance that the next time I go to target I don’t buy a new gun. I’ve already walked away way too many times (or for short, “I’ve already walked aWAY too many times)

Current Status…

9.5 – AJ is currently in town so we kicked it last night, and today I got 4 free tacos from Qdoba thanks to my Q card (and the 4th possibly due to a clerical error). My day was kind of thrown for a loop though when I got to work and saw that Joey’s gadget hadn’t been updated yet

This is really interesting…

hmm looks like this guy would have been better served backing his truck towards the water. I was going to say at least my Monday isn’t as bad as this guy’s, but to be honest I’d rather be in his situation in the sunshine than in mine. Let’s jus say the weather is crappy to quite crappy right now. Thanks for the picture Dan

Lately I’m thinking…

There’s 7 days between Mondays, except when the Bachelor is on TV. In that case it feels like it’s 100 days between Mondays. I’m looking forward to tonight. (On a side note I hope in 5 years I don’t look back and feel embarrassed for watching and talking about the bachelor, but I guess that never happened with Laguna Beach, so i guess I’m good)

Currently watching…

Steph posted this a little while ago, but I think it’s funny so I’m posting it too. Click here

Shout out to…

(this is pretty late) Sam and Britt for the birthday candy. Twizzlers in the candy bar size are probably the best deal ever, you get like 10 in that little package! Seeley wanted some peanut M&Ms, but she already went 298 M&Ms over her lifetime limit when she ate a ton, threw up all over the couch and then had to go to the vet emergency room last year.

The Soapbox:

Over the weekend (in addition to all the sports) Under Siege AND Bad Boys was on. That reminds me, bonus shout out to the guy from Tennessee who accidentally banked in a 3 pointer against Kansas, and then made 3 more in a row after that. They had a better percentage from the 3 point line then they did from the foul line, impressive.

Lately I’m thinking…

So let me get this straight, the last couple nights of bowl games leading up to tonight’s “BCS championship” consisted of the Fiesta Bowl, then the Sugar Bowl, and then the…GMAC bowl between central michigan and troy?? At least it was a good game I suppose. On a side note, this is the 45th image returned when searching for “bowl game”. I’ll take it

This is really interesting…

Steph just told me that she “lost” a chunk of her hair, like somebody took some scissors and cut off a big piece. She doesn’t know what happened. I asked if she could go out in public and she said “Ya probably for the most part”. Ummmmm

Lately I’m thinking…

About my list of new years resolutions. I haven’t come up with one yet but definitely plan on it. Hopefully I can get to it this week before it becomes a resolution just to make one. One thing I know is going on there is earlier gadget updates. I also want to go out to less dinners and out to more happy hours. Who’s coming with me

Lately I’m thinking…

I forgot how stressful college bball games were until last night. I used to think espn360 was the greatest thing ever but wasn’t thinking that last night as Kansas was losing to Cornell. make a layup and get a rebound! Anyways, Sherron killed it, obvs

Also a bonus shout out to all the readers of the daylight savings times. I’m thankful you’re my friends and I’m going to pick you up next time I see you. Heather I’ll see you at Christmas for some holiday pizza and tacos.

Lately I’m thinking…

“Buzz I’m going through all your stuff, you better come out and pound me”. Yep, Home Alone season starts tomorrow! I’ll be taking the dvd and my kansas snuggie with me to the Klitz residence – who wants to hang out? “Ma’am, I’m eight years old. You think I would be here alone? I don’t think so.”

This is really interesting…

I just seriously made up a joke – i’m going to try it out here – Q: How do you cook a parrot? A: Make sure you pre-parrot first with glaze and stuffing. Get it? “prepare it” HAHHA personally i’ve laughed out loud 3 times in a row

The Soapbox:

Have a safe and fun thanksgiving everyone! (RHYME ALERT bee boo bee boo) Wow who knew, all i had to do (rhyme) was switch the safe and fun around and i’d have a rhyme every time (rhyme).   Go Huskies

The other night we were going to have chicken and potatoes for dinner, but steph took the chicken out pretty late and by the time dinner was about to roll around she was “worried about our health if we ate the chicken”. So instead she made me wait upstairs while she improvised, apparently making the classic italian-asian-irish dish: pizza, potatoes and pot stickers. well, she pulled it off anyway

Well Kansas didn’t look very sharp last night, but at least they got the win. I actually forgot how much I don’t enjoy watching college basketball and how much it stresses me out. I get nervous watching high school teams I’ve never even heard of, let alone teams i’m rooting for. I liked the quote from the new 1st year memphis coach Pastner after the game: “I can tell you this for sure: I’m 32 but I’m getting out at 35. I don’t know how these coaches coach until they’re 70. It’s unbelievable.”

This is really interesting…

(not) – there’s a website for my student loans that I need to go to about twice a year. Every time I go to log in I can’t remember the password, so it makes me reset it. Only for some completely ridiculous reason, it won’t let me use a password i’ve ever used before (which is all the passwords i know), so each time i have to make up something completely new which i’ll obviously forget by the next time i go there. So it’s back through the process again…every…single…time – make up a new completely random password, forget it, rinse and repeat

Shout out to…

Ryan Klitz for my Kansas snuggie. It’s honestly changing my life – although I don’t think it’s for better. The other day i was lying with it on and couldn’t think of a single reason why i would ever leave the house. Even going to work is hard knowing that it’s waiting just upstairs. Jakers, that’s awesome you got a custom bobcat one – good luck doing stuff

This is really interesting…

I had a big BBQ meal for lunch today and was really full by the time I was done. But as I walked into the kitchen to throw my stuff away I noticed cookies from specialties had magically appeared, so I ate a snickerdoodle the size of my head. Now i really don’t feel so good.

Currently watching…

24 hours of college basketball on ESPN. It kicked off at midnight eastern last night with cal state northridge beating stupid ucla in double overtime and kept rolling with a game in hawaii and then a 6AM tip off for two schools on the east coast – wow – have fun tailgaiting for that one. Anyway Kansas plays memphis tonight as it continues, i will be upstairs in the mentioned snuggie if anyone wants to come up.

Jakers good call on the ninja article, we’re really on the same page. Click here for those who haven’t read it yet. I’m happy to annouce that it was not me that was impaled for everyone out there that was worried.

Jakers Ostrander on his birthday. Good luck at your gaming this Saturday, hopefully Tanner will come up with better sleeping arrangements for you this time. I’ll see you in about a month!

Currently watching…

Kansas had their first game on Friday, but it was only on ESPN360 which i’m pretty sure we didn’t use to get. Well apparently comcast stepped it up because it worked on Friday – it’s amazing. You can pause, rewind, even reply games from the day before from your computer – basically it does everything tanner’s vcr can do – i was blown away, I was just walking around the house watching college basketball. On a side note, their freshmen Xavier Henry in his first game set the all time kansas freshman scoring record with 27 points. He hit a 3 on the first possesion and on the 3rd possession had a rebound dunk while getting fouled for another 3 point play. Me likey
