This is really interesting…

Here’s a picture of a killer whale demolishing a salmon in puget sound. Earlier this week a pod of killer whales apparently attacked a grey whale (which might be the one that showed up dead in west seattle today). Not really sure what that means in the grand scheme of things, but killer whales are awesome

Steph ordered a slice of pizza from piecoras last night, and since her change of diet she just ordered a “veggie slice”. So the lady asked what 3 vegetables she wanted on it, to which steph replied “Uh tomatoes…..peppers…and….that’s all I can think of”. The lady then had to name off other vegetables until Steph finally heard another one she actually liked.

This is really interesting…

(not really, i mean kind of, i’m mostly just trying to fill in space here) this new feature on photoshop (click here). It’s actually crazy how that works (the thing with the tree at the end especially). They could literally take mona out of the mona lisa if they wanted i bet

I’ve been in a meeting all afternoon and am trying to update this really quick so sorry, as I am almost everyday, for the quality.

The Soapbox:

I’m going to via tribunali with Steph and Seeley for happy hour today so i’ve got that going for me

Shout out to…

The new Reader Of The Week…Shooter McGavin!! PSYCH – it’s Britt Hesse! Britt regularly comments on the days gadget update, and unless she has the Cliff’s notes I’m pretty sure she reads at least most of it – and that’s more than enough to qualify! It also didn’t hurt that she got me peanut M&Ms and Twizzerls for my birthday. Enjoy your weekend of fame Britt, maybe you can cash that cocktail in tomorrow.

Yesterday I went to take a bite of a cupcake that had a ton of frosting, and in doing so got a bunch of frosting up my nose. Now I’m not telling you this because “it’s really interesting” or because I have nothing else to say (even though I don’t), it’s because it was horrible. Every time I breathed in I would smell it, and i couldn’t make it stop even after multiple nose blows. After about an hour I started to get a headache because I was basically huffing frosting every 2 seconds.

Did anyone see “The Marriage Ref” last night? I thought it was frickin hilarious. It was basically just 3 people (Sienfeld, Tina Fey and the just wonderful Eva Longeria) making fun of couples for a few minutes and then just picking a side, mostly based on if they were the same gender as the person or not. Good stuff

Current Status…

I’m at a sunny Friday 10! Iced chai in the morning, little MOD pizza for the first time all week, and a weekend with no plans ahead – can’t remember the last time that happened.

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Holz & Neebs, hope you enjoy the golf, i’m jealous. “Damn you people. This is golf. Not a rock concert.”

8.9 – although the cool ranch doritos i just had didn’t really hit the spot like I was expecting them to. Here’s a picture of Steph, Seeley and I

Shout out to…

Miller for the crazy bread last night and Molly for the info about the ‘Seattle Metropolotin’ pizza magazine and to steph for buying it for me! I’m excited to read it, and then try every place in there. Just trying to give credit where credit is due

Currently watching…

Wow Duke-maryland and Kansas-kansas state on the same night, what a lineup! kind of…considering the game featuring possibly two #1 seeds in the tournament (kansas and kansas state) isn’t even on TV. It is on espn360, which Seattle gets now and I think is pretty darn sweet, but I remember when the same thing happened 2 years ago for the KU-ksu game and I was hitting refresh on my computer browser every 15 seconds. One of these days somebody should probably just pick it up – maybe the ocho?

Lately I’m thinking…

I think that Wednesdays are consistently my worst days of updates throughout the week

Happy TIDOA! It’s a beautiful sunny day, and I don’t have any gadget material. Hold on, here we goooooooooooo!

During the Duke-miami game yesterday there was an advertisement for a pizza place on the big board below the scorers table. At first I thought it was pretty mean/dumb to advertise for a place most the nation can’t try, but i guess they were targeting people actually in attendance. Anyways, whenever i see things like that I wonder how good they are. I know that Sal’s pizza in Durham is DEEElicious. Oh btw I like hubert davis as an announcer and studio guy

It’s all downhill from here – which is kind of like going downhill from sea level. Without a snorkel. No paddle for the river, ya know. I’M ON A BOAT! I’ve derailed

Oh did everyone see that Shawn White has a private half pipe?? I haven’t seen very much olympic coverage, so sorry if everyone already knows about it, and as I type this i’m kind of guessing that’s the case, but click here didn’t. I always wished I had the train at west park plaza to myself, but that hardly ever happened

Happy “I hate presidents” day – or at least that’s pretty much what it feels like considering I’m working today. It’s a ghost town down here – all the lights in our building are off and you need a keycard to get in the front door, use the elevator, and get into our office. That combined with a ton of fog this morning made it a little eerie walking into work. Thankfully I had a delicious piece of coffee cake (or as I call it cinnamon cake because it doesn’t taste anything like coffee and instead tastes like, yep you guessed it, cinammon)

Lately I’m thinking…

This is going to be a short, pointless update, thanks for tuning in! Better luck next time. Oh I went to piecoras twice on friday

Shout out to…

Village Pizza in Roslyn, WA – DElicious!!! Must be something about putting “village” in your pizza name that makes it decilious. We took a trip to suncadia this weekend. It was pretty good except for the 7AM hotel clearing fire alarm. The alarm starts out by just flashing a strobe light in your room (a minute or two before the ear piercing siren joins it) to ensure maximum danger when trying to walk around your room by temporarily blinding you every second. darn teenagers.  p.s. steph took that picture with her iphone

Britt Butt Hesse on her Birthday! Here’s a picture of Britt when she was part of the 4 to 1 girl to guy ratio…or at least something close to that. One day Britt gave me gummy bears that were actually vitamins and changed me life. Happy Birthday, next time I see you I’m going to tackle you.

This video of some wrestlers who got what they asked for I suppose

Lately I’m thinking…

I don’t think I’m going to buy songs of iTunes from my phone anymore. Usually I already have the song, it’s just not synced to my phone, and for some reason I’ll feel like I need to listen to some “j-sean” (j-mom) song right then and buy it a second time. Then I just have some random song twice. Or what happened today when I wanted a Whitney Houston song as a potential addition to Britt’s Mix 2010, and then once I bought it and played it realized it was some remix, and now I have no need for it. The last thing Britt’s Mix needs is a bass thumping crappy techno remix to a classic 80s song. Anyways, I might want to “dance with somebody” this 4th of July at the Filling Station

There were some classic Hansbrough shots of him in the crowd last night – judging by his face it was actually hard to tell if A) He was in the stands watching his team lose B) In the stands watching his team win C) Just told he was adopted or D) thinking about trying to breathe out of his nose next year

The new Reader(s) Of The Week: Nate Nebel & Shana Hanson, who are engaged to be married sometime next October. Nate, nice hat and nice smile. Besides doing his part to get me through college, Nebel is always good for a poorly timed round of irish car bombs during baseball or college basketball season. Good job on a couple gadget updates this week, let’s hang out soon.

I had 5 face/head shots in a row during the nerf battle today – I think it’s safe to say I’m back

I’m worried that if I go too long without having Bogart’s pizza in red lodge i’m going to forget what it tastes like.

Preatty weak gadget update today, especially for a Friday, my bad. WHOA wait a minute, I just looked over and I believe my boss is drinking a beer. Current time – 2:20 PM.

(stay with me here) It’s a really nice sunny day here and it got me thinking about golfing. Then I started thinking about that time I hit Nebel with a golf ball. In one of my favorite quotes ever, when I sent a text to Tanner telling him I hit Nebel, he replied, “It couldn’t have happened to a better person”

This article from the Billings Gazette about a guy who drove his truck through a bar wall. Easily my favorite part is the last line where it says “police are still deciding if the driver should recieve a citation”! I mean, there’s got to be something illegal about plowing through a building wall right? Otherwise this could be a messy insurance claim, with one guy claiming the building shouldn’t have been standing there.

How I Met Your Mother and The Bachelor – obvs. The bachelor really stresses me out, i can’t watch it unless i do something else at the same time to kind of distract me, like go on my computer, my phone, or just yell out random sentence fragments. Fun Fact: More people have been married by meeting someone on the biggest loser than they have on the bachelor.

This is really interesting…

Speaking of fun facts, Joey that’s a pretty good one that Elephants are the only animal that can’t jump. What I find even crazier about that is it means that Hippo’s CAN jump! Hippo’s are crazy. They kill more people in Africa than lions, elephants, leopards, buffaloes and rhinos combined. I’m hungry

The Soapbox:

I heard an ad for Pagliaci pizza on the radio yesterday and it was the same lady who tells you the specials when you call in and their operators are busy. She’s pretty good at talking pie

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

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

Heather on her Birthday..day (seen here in a helmet apparently in her own fantasy world). Heather is really smart and talented basically because I taught her everything. Unfortunately Heather has already been reader of the week, and I can’t give it to her twice before Steph has even it once or I’ll be in big trouble, so Reader of The Week will resume next Friday. Have a fun weekend Heather, see you in May for graduation (the plane tickets are non-refundable, so don’t blow it)

Wow, GREAT early morning round of gadgets, what a great day. Hard to believe stalwart (first time word usage, not even sure if it applies) Joey is the only one who hasn’t updated yet. Maybe he put so much stuff in the soapbox yesterday that him and his computer just blew up? I like this line from Nebel’s about the MSU game being played in pullman: “WSU is lame on a number of different levels. Ryan Leaf being at the top of the list. Having the game in Pullman just adds to their already shitty mystique.” I can’t read it without laughing

This is really interesting…

Steph and I went to grab a bite to eat last night (her phone misteriously died when I was going to have her pick up piecoras) and I figured I’d enjoy a nice rum and coke with the meal. The first time they brought it out I’m pretty sure it was tequilla-coke, so I had her try it again. The next time it came out it was Malibu-coke, which i guess despite their best efforts to screw up is at least a kind of rum. Anyways it was terrible and Steph just made fun of me the whole time.

This is really interesting…

I put a Montana State Bobcats sticker in the back window of the Jeep last week, only the window is so tinted and dirty that you can’t see if from outside. You can however see how crooked it is from inside, which is really distracting and annoying. Maybe I should just get a FTG license plate and call it a day? Or does Maddie already have washington rights on that as well? I’m just excited for bobby hauck to be cruising around Vegas one day and see Maddie in his jeep

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Hopefully I can stop talking about this soon, but still no idea what’s going on with my foot. I called Swedish and made them send X-ray results to my doctor, since they couldn’t tell me what they were, then called my doctor who conveniently only works M-W. So the receptionist tried giving me the results, which i’m not even sure is legal. This is how it went: “Uh it says you have a crack in the meta-tri-carpel-tunnel-osmosis-quadra-lat-rotary-girter….and I don’t know what that means”. Anyways I might have to go to a specialist on Monday. I’m basically just co-paying anyone in the greater Seattle area who wants to take a “crack” at telling me what’s wrong
