Lately I’m thinking…

Well Kansas was awarded the #1 overall seed in the tourney…and then got put in the toughest region, so I guess the ranking of the #1 seeds doesn’t actually apply to anything? Besides big 10 champ ohio state (who was in the running for a #1), co-acc champ maryland, and big east tourney finalist georgetown they also drew the only 2 teams to beat them this year and UNI is the exact kind of team that gives kansas trouble. Oh well, you have to win tough games to advance, and it’s not like they’ll play all those teams, but the committee definitely didn’t do them any favors.

This is really interesting…

I was on an ESPN chat yesterday for my comment “The supposedly top 2 teams (Kansas & Kentucky) have the two toughest roads”. I should be on TV or something

This is really interesting…

So the beer pong kicked off at 3:30 at work on Friday, and Dan and I went 5-0! 3-0 to win the bracket championship and then we won 2 more for good measure against challenging teams. At one point we were listening to Britts Mix (the CATS edition no less) playing out of the speaker on my iPhone! Somebody asked “is this the kind of music you listen to??” to which I just replied “Uh no”. The best part is every cat growl somebody would say “what?” at the same time I was saying “cats!”

Current Status…

Strong to quite strong – I had a great weekend with some skiing and some alehousing (in wedgewood), the tournament is rapidly approaching and my work gave me both Friday and Monday off as comp days for working so much the last couple weeks – bonus! Joey’s gadget problems are a cause of concern though.

Shout out to…

The new Reader Of The Week….All the way from the big apple, Jon ‘Farnatron” Farnum! Farnum invented the international sign of awesomeness (thumbs up followed an “OK” sign) and coined the term “Montana happens”. For example, if Nebel threw a wall paper roll at Mikey but missed and put a hole in the wall, you could say “Eh, Montana happens”. Farnum is an east coast reader without an east coast bias. You can collect your drink memorial day weekend, feel free to wash your face and iron your shirt before going out to collect.

Shout out to…

And a bonus shout out to Mitchell Raun Thompson on his birthday!! Friday birthday this year, well done, hope you have a fun weekend planned. You probably want to make sure and enjoy this one considering next year you’ll be in your 30s. I remember whenever I went to get you a present for your birthday it was really hard because I usually wanted whatever I was giving you. I think i’d at least get one toy out of the deal at the store, thanks mom.

I can’t remember a longer week. I mean it’s not like it was a bad week, but the entire time it felt a day ahead. Yesterday I realized it was Thursday and not Friday on about 5 different occasions, incuding the first time when I told my boss “I can’t focus to save my life on a Friday”, “It’s Friday lets go somewhere fun for lunch” and when I left work and wanted to shout at the top of my lungs outside “It’s Friday!!”, until I realized it was still only thursday Anyways our beer pong party was supposed to start 14 minutes ago but everyone’s still working, i’m not sure if i should say something or what

This is really interesting…

We had a big new release to Whrrl this week – not really sure if that means anything to anybody reading, but there’s a link about it if anyone wants to read it. There’s obviously a lot more information out there and on the pelago blog

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Montana Fun Fact of the Day: “In Montana the elk, deer and antelope populations outnumber the humans.” I can’t believe I made it as long as I did without a pocket knife. I also can’t believe we call them “the humans” in fun facts. “She must have meant ten o’ clock at night! I just figured she was a raging alcoholic!”
