If there were an Oscar awarded for "Best Use of Root Vegetables as Props", Shoot 'Em Up would win it.

Supposed to go camping this weekend, but it appears this freaky monsoon we're having has shelved those plans. Curses!

I went to my sister's graduation from Oregon State today, sat through hours of speeches that all promised brevity only to merrily break said promise, and I got a nasty sunburn for my trouble. In the end, we didn't even get to see her get the diploma. They started with the PHDs and read off the names of the 60 some odd people getting them. Then they ( Read more... )

Spent another evening at OHSU with muerte tonight. It's actually not that far from work, so it's not a long drive, but getting into and out of that place is always an adventure. I don't know who thought putting essential services on top of Marquam Hill was a good idea, but I'd like to perform acts upon him that would result in a long stay at said ( Read more... )

Mother Nature has been quite a tease lately, but today she delivers. Huzzah!

Wow man. You're addressing the Unites States Congress, not your Friday night D&D game. That speech only goes well with Mt Dew and Cheetos.

Boise State went 12-0, and just played in the Fiesta Bowl with a ton of guts and heart. They won in overtime to become 13-0, and there's no possibility of them getting a piece of the national title. That 'aint right.

I ordered Lost Season 2 for my Mom's birthday from Buy.com, which had it in stock. I ordered on the 25th of November and instead of the free shipping I paid for 2-5 day shipping to be sure it got here by her birthday on December 4th. A week went by before it finally shipped on December 1st, but it wasn't scheduled to be delivered until the 8th. Now ( Read more... )

Got to Fred Meyer at 5:00am, Scotty had been there for about 15 minutes already. The line looked like I was probably one of the 29 folks who were going to get one. At around 6:30 the store manager came out and handed out tickets, and I got number 21, but it wasn't a big deal, everyone who had showed up was able to get a ticket. Once we got a ticket ( Read more... )

Went and saw Casino Royale tonight with gorgonous, bigj, scotty and Chorissa(sp?). I was really impressed, it's easily the best Bond movie since Sean Connery.

Scotty and I had planned to go hit Fred Meyer early tomorrow to try and get a Wii, but angz tipped us off that they were opening at midnight. The Canby store wasn't one of the ones opening early though, so we ( Read more... )
