This is really interesting…

Here’s a picture of Seeley taking the cab home from the skee lodge. Apparently it’s a rule that every cab driver in the city is required to take dogs. Seems kind of ridiculous to me, but oh well, that means the party scene for Seeley is probably about to blow up.

Lately I’m thinking…

Sorry for the no update on Friday – the updates are going to be pretty sparse until I get back to Seattle.

This is really interesting…

After two nights of going out in Billings my total combined bar tab was…….$4.00. I’m also averaging 6 slices of village inn per day. You could say this trip is going strong, to quite strong.

Lately I’m thinking…

Paul is ridiculous. So is Levi. I used my badass knife for the 2nd time last week….to cut open our house plant container. Ever since i started flossing regularly there’s tons of space between my teeth and tons of food is getting stuck here. I’m surprised they don’t recommend NOT flossing. I saw a prius the other day with a tow hitch on it, not sure how effective that would be?

The Soapbox:

On the flight in we stopped in helena to drop some people off and pick some people up. Just as we were about to leave (the door was shut, electronics off etc.) the lady announced the toilet was frozen, and if anyone had to use the bathroom they needed to do it there. So 10 people got up and were let back into the helena airport. Ridiculous. Oh, and helena to billings is a 35 minute flight

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….

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!

Lately I’m thinking…

If anyone would like a delicious hot chocolate that was stirred via magnetic waves, is served at the perfect temperature, and is probably the most delicious hot chocolate you’ve ever had, feel free to stop by anytime and I’ll fire up the COCOA MOTION! I just had the first cup of the year and it was DE-licioius

This is really interesting…

I don’t think Seeley shed a single hair in november, i mean maybe a couple, but definitely the least amount of hair since she was a puppy. But since december hit and we’ve had record lows for this time of the year in seattle, it’s like she’s having a shedding contest with herself. Does that even make sense? Shedding for the winter? I feel like Seeley needs some extra help sometimes

This is really interesting…

Speaking of seeley, we went to the dog park today and this hyper grade school kid showed up and somehow got seeley’s attention. Then he started running away and in my head I was like “don’t run from a predator, it sparks their instincts, just play dead!” (I had just watched a show about a bear attack). Anyways Seeley bolted after him, chased him down, and he stopped close to us and said “the fastest kid in school just got out-ran by a dog”. Anyways about 2 minutes later he was running around and ate it pretty hard on his own

Lately I’m thinking…

Sorry for the late update today. On a side note I had mr gyro today and i love that place

Shout out to…

Miss McRae for the Christmas stockings! In order from left to right we have mine, Seeley’s (yes, she is a dog, thank you), and Steph’s. Oh also keep in mind that they’re hanging on our loft railing…yes they’re gigantic. Santa could give me a recliner for Christmas (cross your fingers!) and there’ a good chance it would fit in my stocking. fun fact: Miss McRae loves her some Costco

Just about every update on my “facebook feed” involves someone talking about how cold it is, and rightly so. And I know everything is relative to where you grow up, and I’m freezing my little tush off too every time I walk somewhere for lunch or wait for the bus, but holy smokes look at some of these temps (compared to the current 33 in Seattle). The HIGH today is bozeman is -5 degrees. It’s been -15 in Seeley Lake the last 4 hours with an expected high of “0” (wow they have a long way to go, probably not gonna make it). The most it’s supposed to change in billings from the middle of the night to the middle of the day is apparenty 5 degrees, as the high is -3 and the low is -8. Brrrrr! On a side note, you’ve got to love the sun and the views in Seattle

This is really interesting…

Last night at Jaks Steph ordered Halibut stuffed with crab – it was one of the best seafood dish I’ve ever tasted.

Shout out to…

All the women, who independent…….throw your hands up at me

Shout out to…

Stephanie Klitz on her birthday!! Sorry you had to work on your big day…and give me a ride to work on your big day, but i appreciate it. I hope you have a wondeful day and I love you!

This is really interesting…

Fun little dental tip that i’m not quite sure mrs. thompson would sign off on – last night steph flossed her teeth in literally 8 seconds, then said “I have a new method, you just do it as fast as you can. You might not get every tooth….” that’s when I just rolled me eyes and started walking away. She never finished her sentence, but i figured i’d heard enough of this groundbreaking idea

Lately I’m thinking…

What a great weekend – Kells was a blast on Friday, great UW game on saturday to finish the season with 2 big wins, I got stacias pizza for dinner where they still remembered my name and then some extreme snowshoeing action with skeelo, morgan, steph, and seeley on sunday. I mean the seahawks even won yesterday. Too bad Montana State wasn’t still playing or it could have been the trifecta! On a side note, the bobcats hardly ever lose playoff games….

This is really interesting…

The BCS is lame

The Soapbox:

Pretty busy day today so not the best update, better luck next time

Shout out to…

Mr Nate Weebles and soon to be Mrs. Shana Weebles who got engaged over the weekend!! Also, nice smile and “i love pabst” sticker nate.

Shout out to…

The entire extended Klitz family for a great thanksgiving weekend and to mom for the flowers on the dining room table. I had a wonderful thanksgiving, complete with meals every 2 hours, go karts, crabbing, ping pong, pool, watching sports and enjoy some cocktails. Oh and I got to watch Ryan and Nick get a haircut too. I’m ridiculously excited for Christmas now that I got the taste of vacation and since it’s almost december.

Lately I’m thinking…

They need to do something about showing women’s basketball scores on the ticker during games, maybe make them bright pink or something. I think just about every week I see a score like “Kansas 50, Xavier 58” and have a mini heart attack even though I know they weren’t playing Xavier that day. Then I look over and notice we’re on the NCAAW section instead of NCAAM. Anyways my point is it’s fine to show those scores, but they need to make it way more obvious you’re looking at women’s scores – it’s distracting enough trying to keep track of the ticker and the game actually on at the same time.

This is really interesting…

(not interesting, per usual, but i just thought of it) We stopped at mcdonalds for some hash browns on the way to portland and i asked for a large water. The lady said medium waters were free, but she’d have to charge me for a large. I wanted to say “Uhh I’ll take 50 medium waters then”, but since it was thanksgiving i didn’t. I didn’t drink more than half of it anyway because seeley basically put her paw through the lid at one point, and then I let her drink of it because I thought she was thirsty

Shout out to…

The new Reader of the Week – Jon “JB” Brown!! Jon is married to the lovely Stacie Brown who it appears might have failed to change her maiden name, we might never know. JB is a fellow ‘how i met your mother’ fan and is rooting for a big Bobcat victory this weekend – Congrats on your free cocktail and instant fame

This is really interesting…

Seems like times they are a changing. I used to attend the CAT-griz games in person, then when i moved I would go to sluggers with a bunch of people at like 9 in the morning. Now it seems nobody I know is going to sluggers, so I’m probably going to a bobcat satellite bar in Renton with…..2 of my mom’s friends – at least 1 of whom can probably party harder than me. Oh well, I might just wear the bobcat suit there, tie one one and call it a day

This is really interesting…

We’re basically putting Seeley through private school

Shout out to…

Everyone attending the game tomorrow and everyone watching it on TV – I hope to be in touch. Temporary anti-shout out to mitch who is on his way to cabo….jerk. You’re going to be the tannest guy at the village inn buffet of christmas!

The Soapbox:

Have a fun and safe weekend everyone!! Go Cats!! RARRR!

This is really interesting…

The other day I was peacefully watching sports upstairs, and Steph kept yelling from downstairs “I want Seeley to pull me, can you come help?” I tried explaining that Seeley doesn’t even like walking across the room unless she really wants to but it didn’t help. So Steph kept saying “Help me hook her up”. Well i looked over the railing and there was Steph, sitting on a pillow with a rope. Uhhh needless to say Seeley didn’t pull her and putting a rope around her neck probably isn’t the way to go anyway.

Lately I’m thinking…

Screw segways, I want one of those new police 3-wheeler machine things (sorry the picture is a little blurry i was walking and trying to hit the light) Birthday present here we come!

Current Status…

10! Happy Thursday International Day of Awesomeness everyone! After work I get to hang out with mikey, enjoy a delicious dinner and maybe a cocktail or two

Steph and I were going to capitol hill the other day and stopped at a dog park we’ve never been to. The dog park must be expensive because it had a really cool view – this was downtown looking to the right, and if you looked straight ahead the stadiums were pretty much right below you with the sound behind them (not pictured). I’d say the only down side to the dog park was….there wasn’t a single other dog there when we went. So we had to rely on Seeley chasing a stick one out of every 9 throws in order for her to run around. nature?

This article about the 10 most annoying alarm clocks. Our manager sent it out yesterday because he was upset that people weren’t showing up to work on time for our daily meetings which start at 11:00 AM for the mobile team and 11:30 AM for the web team! Personally I like #s 10, 9, 3 1 and could see Steph breaking all of them after 2 days

This is really interesting…

Just like every person has a unique finger print, every person also has a unique tounge print. Did you know that Dr. Heather? Knowledge Bomb beeeeeeow BOOM. Also, poeople shed about 1.5 pounds of skin per year. Whoa! I can’t afford to lose that weight…

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)

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
