Since I will be driving down to Portland tomorrow for a friend's wedding, I wanted to say today, "Go UTES! Go do some stompin on 'dem Horned Frogs tomorrow."

November 04, 2010

I'm not sure what to think of this. I just went to the lady's room at work and on the bathroom mirror were the words "14 buttons replaced by your body," which was advertising for the Kinect. That's a first - advertising via the bathroom mirror.

I so wish I could be in DC on 10/30/10 to attend the "Rally to Restore Sanity," and "March to Keep Fear Alive."

September 23, 2010

I've heard it's going to be a long cold and snowy winter in the Seattle area and will be installing heat tapes on the pipes around my water heater, as they froze last year. I hope I don't wind up burning the house down.

s trying to clean out a hill in my front yard that is full of weeds for planting bushes and flowers, and is finding the strangest things, such as tennis balls, pieces of asphault, a rusty disk from a metal grinder, and old fence posts buried three feet down. I wonder what the original owner of the house was doing. If I keep digging, I'll either find a dead body, treasure, or a tunnel to the other side of the world.

Good morning Friday - it's been 7 days since I last saw you

I was reading that U2 may cancel their planned tour this summer, due to Bono screwing up his back. That's a real bummer, especially since I purchased tickets to their June concert in Seattle.
Shh - nobody tell me what happened in the Lost series finale. I will be watching it 2nite.

May 23, 2010

Lost series finale tonight - is everyone excited? Will the two timelines merge and that will be the end of the universe? Will Hurley discover that while he was gone, his parents secretly invested all of his money in Apple or Google and now he is a billionaire? Will the smoke monster finally leave the island, but find that he will be reincarnated as a penguin in Antartica?

March 26, 2010

I've started to wonder where my weekends have went. Only 4.5 hours of meetings today, then spending the night at Ensign Ranch with friends. Tomorrow - Alice in Wonderland in 3D, obtaining passport photos, cleaning the house, and dancing in Federal Way. Sunday - church and work. Monday - back off.

Is it sad that I enjoy listening to "Prairie Home Companion" while at work, or just strange?

February 20, 2010

Good morning Saturday. I awoke to seeing my cat Fred attacking a black streak on the wall (silly kitty). Now it's time to clean the house, clean the fish tank, construct two bookcases for my living room, watch "Dear John" with a friend this afternoon and go ice skating this evening.
