This is really interesting…

First of all sorry for repeating gadget material, both Tanner’s and Joe’s, but this is a pretty solid picture and I don’t have any other ones up yet. Boy am I glad we didn’t lose in beer pong to these two, that would have been embarassing.

Lately I’m thinking…

Joey that Dolphin boat is crazy (click here if you have no idea what I’m talking about). I’ve basically been thinking about it non stop since yesterday. Apparently it starts around $48,000, which is a lot of money for a little boat thing that only holds two people at most, but at the same time it also seems pretty cheap for a dolphin boat!!!

Currently watching…

Oh geeze don’t even get me started. First of all I felt bad for Mitch because i knew he was watching an episode last night for the first time. Second of all that’s ridiculous he picked Vienna. That was only the beginning of the rollercoaster though. I’ve never watched an episode of dancing with the stars before, and didn’t plan to, until I saw Ochocinco was going to be on it, along with Erin Andrews and 98 year old Buzz Aldren!! Then I was like “crap what if i want to watch that”. Well then that was followed up by the announcement Jake the bachelor was going to be on it, and that’s going to be a disaster so now i don’t want to. Then the bachelor concluded with that uber crappy “on the wings of love song”, but it got even worse when they had the guy do a live version of during the “after the rose” ceremony. Anyways, sorry, the whole evening was just stressful. Oh ya and I wrote off the bachelor forever, and then they obviously picked ali as the next one. I really really hope that’s not enough to get me suckered in again. Oh and Jason and what’s her names wedding is on TV now…paleeze

This is really interesting…

I’m really busy today and just went on a semi-rant so i have to go now

Seeley has more toys than I do. Oh ya and I’m out of pictures

Wow how stressful was last night? Kansas probably shouldn’t have won that game, I don’t even know how they scored 59 points, I only remember them making 3 shots. That followed by the worst bachelor of all time (yes that was last weeks episode, until this one aired). Ali blew it, then Jake blew it, Jake’s annoying and says the same stuff every week and out of the 2 girls who are left one lives in a complete fantasy world with dancing unicorns and the other is a tramp. I knew jake being the bachelor wasn’t a very good choice but I never thought it would get this bad. Phew, i’d like to say i feel better, but i don’t think i will until the season is over. See you next week

Lately I’m thinking…

Holzer here’s a handy little DVR tip – if you’re wating a show on DVR but then change it to a channel (either to check a score or something or in your case you forgot you were watching a show on DVR) just hit the “back” button and it takes you to the place you left off on the recorded show. You can basically flip back and forth between a live tv show and the recorded one and not miss a beat! Sorry Tanner, I know you don’t know what a DVR is and I don’t have any VCR tips for you, although I have heard that you can get rewind machines that rewind tapes much faster than the traditional VCR.

Lately I’m thinking…

This looks like it’s going to be a great week – sunshine with temps in the high 50s and maybe even up to 60. On a side note, there’s no show anywhere in the northwest (see olympics in canada)

This is really interesting…

And hear is what Steph wore to Whrirly Ball – who would have thought that the mask I ordered for Joey’s Christmas masquerade party that was shipped to Seattle instead of Billings would ever come in handy? I know I didn’t, but I’m happy I have it.

Currently watching…

Saw a great Kansas win, followed by a good How I Met Your Mother, followed by….a HORRIBLE episode of the Bachelor – what on earth is Ali doing!? Couple things: A) Her job isn’t anywhere close to that important and B)She doesn’t love her job that much and would never leave the show for it. It was either her idea or the producers, but either way it’s ridiculous. It was pretty obvious it was all setup and that she wasn’t really that upset about it. They were just trying to have an “Ed” like scenario from last year. Anyways if she doesn’t come back and win i’m going to be livid, and i’m already pretty upset. By the way, does anyone else agree that Rick Barnes is the most overrated coach of a big name program? I mean they always have tons of good players and hence good teams, but i don’t even think they run an offense. Whoever brought the ball up the court either had the option of shooting with 25 seconds left on the shot clock or turning it over. When they had Durant 4 players just stood around while Rick Barnes drew up “pass the ball to durant and then let’s see if he scores” plays for 40 minutes.

This article about adding a trophy for the Husky-duck football rivalry. Obviously oregon has been the better team the last few years, but I think UW will be closing the gap rather quickly and I like the idea. Do montana and Montana State have a trophy? It would be awesome if it was a live buffalo or a handle of Nikoli vodka something

This is really interesting…

Yesterday I saw a commercial for Dove body wash that had women compare the results of washing a mirror with soap compared to dove. The dove apparently left the mirror looking cleaner?? Let’s see, judging by that test I would rank body washes in this order: Spray Away Glass Cleaner, Windex, 409, Dove Body Wash, Bar Soap

The Soapbox:

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MADDIE AND SHANA! Nebel is a sucker for living with people born on February 9th apparently. Oh, and maybe I’m just talking crazy today, but the idea of a family reunion in vegas doesn’t terrify me right now like it usually does.

Lately I’m thinking…

(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

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?

2/3 of the residents of the skee lodge are into hot yoga

Currently watching…

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.

Last Thursday Steph came home and found Seeley the Dog had blue paws and a blue mouth. Turns out she ate a pen. While it’s no glass candle holder, I’m sure it must have been delicious. Rumor has it her first poo after that was even blue. Anyways it’s now tuesday and her paws are still blue.

Currently watching…

While Friday and Saturday might be the peak of fun nights during the week, Sunday and Monday have taken over for peak TV viewing. Sunday night is “Tough Love 2”, which is just excellent. Then Monday has “How I met your mother” AND “The Bachelor”. Ali, don’t blow it.

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.
