hey old people, no more TV for you...

Thanks for the laugh, Brad! Just had to pass it on...

oohhhh dear!

Afraid of the (fill in the blank)

At the beginning of this year, a young woman was tragically abducted and later killed. The home she was taken from is walking distance from my house. This made me start to be more aware of my surroundings (it's still dark out when I leave for work), and I went to my neighbors' doors and introduced myself. A couple weeks ago, the ground started rumbling and rocking and rolling. Friday night I shot bolt upright in my bed and grabbed ahold of the dog and rode out what felt like 5 minutes of quaking (it was only about 10 seconds and a 4.7 quake). I could hear glasses clinking and blinds hitting the windows and it sounded like a semi truck was heading down the road. That was followed by a couple more. Sleep wasn't gonna happen that night. Saturday afternoon, I bolted shelves to walls, put out the bottled water and first aid kit and some pet supplies, and learned how to turn off the gas and water to the house - just in case. Sunday morning, woke up to more quaking and now a new crack runs along the kitchen wall. Sunday, came out of work to see dark smoke billowing up from town. Holy Criminy - I can't take much more of this.....

Park your bike and crack open a fat tire

Last year I attended Tour De Fat with my cousins. I had a new cruiser and was dying to show it off. It's a super fun, eco-friendly event in Truckee, and if you get a chance to go I highly reccommend it. This year, I will be the veteran taking a newbie. Together we will parade our bikes around and drink Mothership Wit out of compostable corn beer cups!

If only.....

What if I'd been shown this video in 5th grade instead of that stupid one about how to apply a sanitary pad?

SAy it like you mean it!

I've always love contradictions. My recent fascination is with old fashioned arts and crafts with a modern twist. I just finished this for a friends birthday:

A Super Bowl

I always dread the SuperBowl. In years past, it usually meant a large gathering of my dad's friends at some bar. At point something stupid would happen (like a drunken rude proposition from one of my dad's friends). This year, Brad surprised me by coming over to my house while I was at work and assembling some furniture I bought for the kitchen. I made a Turkey dinner and he's a bit of a football fan, so he watched the game. Here and there he'd switch over to the Puppy Bowl on Animal Planet. Probably for my benefit. But it was the first enjoyable Big Game Sunday I've ever had (other than being tired and cranky!). Thanks, Brad!

reach over...

This morning I was driving across town, so I was on the freeway. I was just remembering how much I hate the freeway as the guy the front of me was tooling along at 45-50 mph. He had his right arm stretched out across the bench seat and was reclined like he was in front of the TV. I was thinking I needed to pass him when *ding* a female figure pops up in the passenger seat and they look at each other and laugh!! Oh, they had 'summer teeth' smiles.....

Genius

A truly genius scene from one of my all time favorite movies...
