Fashion Faux Pas

Why is it that the largest people insist on wearing the smallest backpacks? Is it intentional? Do they think it's slimming when the opposite is true?

I know this makes me sound like an asshole but...seriously.

Tomorrow I'll wear shoes that are two sizes too small to accentuate my slender feet.

Where's the Mah Jong Tiles?!

This Saturday evening was quite nice for me. Went over to Merryn's place for Game NIGHT! WOOOO! Finally found someone who can give me a run for my money at Scene It! (anyone out there who wants to give it a try, e-mail me, it's a fun game :)).

All this served as preperation for the RDR episode coming out February 7th. It'll be game night with Matty and Jerimy.

Board Games are FUN! Now where's my cane, I need to shuffle down to the 7-11 and get some musilex, I'm all backed up. *COUGH*

Woohoo! Free Salad (Tossing) Day!

It's the little things in life that excite me. Today for lunch I get to use my little punch card and get my normally $6 lunch salad for free. I'm very excited about this.

I'm not quite sure why...

Hmmm, so this is what it's like to be 26. *snore*

Don't Do It.com

I have this idea for a new web domain that I wanna call either "Don't Do It.com" or "It's Not Worth It.com".

The concept is this, when you're in the middle of a diet and trying to fight off those pounds and you get that craving for a cookie, or a piece of candy, or an entire can of bacon grease, you just go to this sites which is simply a random picture of a hot guy that will remind you why you don't need the extra calories. Rationalize it as looking at the body you would like to have, or else as something you know you can never have as a companion until you loose the extra pounds (yeah that's right fatty, I'm talking to you). Of course this second mindset may just result with you in the bathroom with your finger down your throat, but motivation is a good thing.

Based on the popularity of these sites, I will also release "Don't Do It Lady" in the coming months.

One Year Celebration

And how are you celebrating your first year in the corporate world, Matty?

Why I'm tackling the huge pile of stuff I've been putting off for the past week and bringing work home with me, how very mature I am.

BOOOO!

Though I have to say the excitement of reading the gibberish I typed while taking minutes in a two hour long meeting (*sigh*) will certainly be hightend by the fact that I can have a glass of wine while I do it.

Wine makes everything better.

Just look at church!

Natalie Portman SNL Rap ROCKS!!!

MORE COW BELL!

Baz Luhrmann - Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)

This is one of my fave songs that is under appreciated:

Oh My...Rockstar Zero Carbs

Kind of tastes like a big EXPLOSION of flowers in your mouth!

And smells like some old lady I knew back in the day.

But I'm copy editing all day and I needs my caffiene!

Crap, now Bush can vote in New Jersey

"Language written into the [New Jersey] state constitution in 1844 prohibits anyone deemed an "idiot or insane person" from voting."

And now they're trying to change that.

I know a certain Cat who's bf has some splaining to do. I don't know if it's to justify the old consitution or the ratified one...

Happy Birthday To Matty!!

So starts day 3 of Matty's Birthday weekend extravaganda.

Friday night was Pakio's birthday party at Swerve music store in Pike Place Market. Everyone buy your music and dvd there, very cool local business to support.

Last night was supposed to be pre-funking at my place and then clubbing starting at 10. As it was the 3rd day in a row with teemperatures below freezing (a freak thing for us Seattlites) we decided that free drinks and a warm place to hang out was perfereable to freasing to death between bars. It was a nice small party with booze related gifts for matty. :) Two drink recipe books, a bottle of wine, and a bag of foofoo bath stuff from Lush. Pretty good haul.

Tonight is dinner with the parents and then a get together at the Boat Shed in Bremerton so that the Kitsap people wouldn't have to commute to celeberate with me. Woohoo.

Unfortunately Jerimy's still sick. Send him your well wishes. Hope your New Years are shaping up nicely.

Mixer Mess!

Hey everyone! Sorry about the mixer issues with episode 42. Now I owe people TWO drinks if you can make it through the episodes.

Everything seems to have been fixed and the next time we go remote, you won't even be able to tell cause everything's all bright and good sounding. WOOO!

Damn You BUS!!!

Due to freak snow storms and everything being frozen, commutes around the sound have been irratic for the second time in a month. Because I'm a responsible adult I did everything I could to figure out if anyone from work had e-mailed me to let me know if they weren't showing up. I decided since I live the closest to work, if they're coming in, I should come in.

No e-mails.

Checked my work phone.

No messages.

So I went out and gave it the old college try. I got to my bus stop and waited

And waited.

And waited.

I decided as soon as the episode of How Much Do We Love
I was listening to was over, I was gonna just go back home and call it a day, giving myself an A for effort.

I was planning out my day, deciding was gonna get myself a delicious peppermint schnapps hot chocolate, then shop for some clothes for Pakio's birthday party tomorrow night, and buy booze for the birthday party at my place on Saturday.

And then the bus showed up.

As soon as I sat down, the podcast had finished.

I hate everything.

Sam's a Total Bottom

Some how a google search of this girl with a medical condition where she can't feel any physical pain led to my discovery of this picture.

I don't care if the movie franchise wrapped up 3 years ago. Where's MY Frodo and tower with a vagina on top?

Jerimy's Mac World Post

Update on MacWorld Apple Keynote:




Apple today announced that they will be selling a 4gb and 8gb model iPhone for $499 and $599. The iPhone will be a widescreen iPod/Cell phone/Internet Content with an exclustivity agreement with Cingular/AT&T wireless. As a side note if you are interested in having the iPhone with your carrier then contact your wireless carrier and express your interest in them carrying the iPhone.

The iPhone also is loaded with OSX with versions of Safari, mail and iPhoto loaded on.

The iPhone will operate as a widescreen video iPod. Many users as well as myself have been wanting a widescreen iPod for a very long time. It also has interface between Address book, iChat, and mail to syncronize content between your iPhone and your computer. I see many advantages to this phone and can even see a user using it instead of a cell phone if a city like Seattle were to offer free wireless internet or if they were to partner with an a company like Clearwire to with the phone so a user doesn't need a celluar service to use the phone within the city.



The good news from the iPhone is that I believe that Apple will announce in the next few months a new widescreen video iPod with the Voice over IP capiblities in 60 gb and 100 gb sizes so you will basically get an iPhone without the cellular capiblities. This release will probably have the capabilities to share your itunes library and other content from other computers. This will make the iPod both a media player and a mini computer in your pocket.



Apple also announced the Apple TV. This product will have an 40 gb hard drive built in and will do exactly what we all thought it would do. Which is to stream movie, tv and music content to your television. It is a cool product and having the ability to interconnect one library between several PC's will be a popular feature. The drawbacks are that it will cost you $299 for this fuctionality. My personal feelings at the moment is that you can buy a cable for $29.00 that will do the same thing as the Apple TV.



Apple also updated the WiFi Apple Airport basestation to work with HD content at faster connection rates. This with the Apple TV will allow a user to get HD content to their TV. Again, you can do the same thing with an $29.00 cord. Unless Apple can give us more of a reason for getting this product I don't see it as a necessary product that users needs. AND it becomes and issue of over complicating an already over machined part of your house. Maybe some solutions for Apple is to put in a DVD drive in the Apple TV so that I can get rid of my DVD player or something. I just don't want to add compentents to my TV setup. I would replace a compentent though.



So overall this was a good keynote and it leaves room for many tuesday "special events" where we can lay in wait for new and exciting updates and products! YeAAHHH APPLE!!!

I Wanna Mascot!!

This is Stanley Stat. The mascot for the US Department of Agriculture. His girl friend is Pie-Chart Pam. But he has fun on the side with Spread-Legs...I mean Spreadsheet Sammy.



These are the Cryptokids, the cool, hip group who will get your kids trained in the way of the NSA and enabling them to narc you out to the government as a terrorist at a younger and younger age. HURRAY!

What should the RDR mascot be?

And it's not going to be Teb! :P

SHOES VIDEO!

Lookit What I Got

So now the remote casts will be just as high quality (from a recording stand-point at least) as our face to face episodes. This purchase seemed a good idea since RDR will become a solely remote show within the next six months or so when Matty goes back to school. Plus this will come in handy when recording Busy Faggot with Pakio. Plus the guy at Guitar Center in Belltown in Seattle was HOT!! Mmm. Hot music sales guy in a t-shirt and sport coat.

Retail Therapy

I went shopping during lunch and got myself a shiny metallic blue ashtray to act as a change bowl at my desk and then went to Old Navy and got two pairs of soft pants (thank you Rob and Sara of How Much Do We Love podcast) a hoodie, AND my nephew's late christmas present (not to be confused with my late nephew's present which is another post in itself) for only $12!!

The picture is a result of internet free association while I was trying to track down a picture of the ADORABLE aligator stuffed animal. Couldn't find that, but love this t-shirt for babies.

TGIF!!

I dream of iPhone

Please let there be a product this cool so I can buy it!

Something I Found While Looking For the Last Set of Pics

I love it!

What the bus smelled like on the way home

Seriously. It was NASTY!

Diet Time

I'm using reverse psychology (or something) to help me with my diet. Right now I'm really working to stick to just the two slim fasts, and a lean cuisine each day. To help with the cravings, anytime I want something, instead of actually tracking it down, I'm just going to post it.

Join in with me, won't you? What are you craving?

Right now I REALLY want a big ol' turkey sandwich. MMMM

Thanks for being troopers and struggling through the tech issues on this most resent episode. If you get all the way to the end, I owe you a drink :).

I'd also like to apologize for my general bitchiness during the show. As we learned from the sick episode we recorded a while back, Matty's not pleasant when he's sick. And by sick (right now at least) I mean: my belly button hurts. MEH!

That's right boys I'm still single! Bring it on!

Nerd Alert!

As part of an e-mail chain I was reminded of how, in Star Trek TNG (The Next Generation for all you non-trekker people [we call you 'normies]) Picard would always ask the replicator for "Earl Grey. Hot!" And every time all he would ever get would be a damn cup of tea.

I have taken it upon myself to find out who this hot Earl Gray guy is.

Unfortunately that's who came up when I googled him.

Not so hot Picard. Give me Sir Francis Lipton or Chin Lo Tazo any day.

Stupid Copier (and by Copier I mean Admin and by Admin I mean Me)

So I'm assembling this huge book for my boss for a meeting today. And, after printing 300 pages, realized I hadn't set the printer to print stuff on both sides of the page. Crap.

Plus the new tabs we ordered are plastic and I can't print on them. Sigh.

I promised myself when I understood the Dilbert and Office Space jokes, I'd leave. I understood them 11 months ago.

BTW One year anniversary coming up. WEEEE!

Digging the Drag Queen

Recieved this from a friend. Sure Billy Joel hasn't had a hit since the early 90's but I think he's coming back in style :)

Worst Tuesday Pretending it's a Monday EVER!

After almost two weeks off, it's back to the grind. I had 130+ e-mails waiting for me when I got here this morning. Only a quarter of them talked about enlarging my penis, which means...well, you can do the math.

It's really not such a bad day. Pretty typical actually, and I certainly feel productive, whipping through the back log.

This surgery recovery is different than I thought it would be. At this point there's no real pain, just a general discomfort that increases and persists the longer I do things like sit or stand. On top of the interior gut uncomfortableness, there's a also the itchiness right above my belly button, which I know means things are healing but...it's an interesting sensation. Of course all this just makes me really worn out and tired, even though I've been really responsible recently.

God, I hope I don't ever get old, I bitch too much about my body. I'm sure no one wants to hear this.

HAPPY NEW YEAR'S EVERYONE!
