So it’s been awhile since I’ve written to this thing, but after glancing at the titles of the last few posts (from last year!), I think it’s safe to say that not much has changed. No, I haven’t gotten more kidney stones (thankfully), but I am still addicted to climbing and am still doing all the things that I usually do: work, music, ultimate, and sports. But I guess you can say that about my the past six years of my life…
One thing that has changed is that I’m now eating breakfast! If you know me then this is a…
Yesterday I + a few co-workers + a few AIR team members gathered for happy hour festivities. We went to Mohawk’s Grizzly bar, which was dirt-cheap yet pretty dead, for a few hours before heading to the Jackalope for food and more drinks. It was guest-bartender-day (or whatever they call it) at the Grizzly bar, and guess who happened to be guest-bartending? The band members of What Made Milwaukee Famous. No, I didn’t go beserk. I just told them that I was going to their shows and that I was excited, to which they replied “well, we’re excited you’re going…
OK, I don’t really mean that. If I really hated having a car that much, it’d be gone already. I’m just really irritated about how much having a car COSTS and the hassles associated with it. I went to get mine inspected yesterday, and it failed because the Check Engine light was on. Turns out both oxygen sensors need to be replaced. I had to take it to another place to fix the issue, and it cost me $750. I’m sure I got screwed, but not knowing anything about cars, I really didn’t want to be driving my car around…
If you live in or near Texas and were planning on buying some stuff at some point, you should buy that stuff this weekend. Fri-Sat-Sun are the Sales Tax Holiday for TX folk. It doesn’t include everything, but it includes a lot. I plan on doing a lot of spending this weekend. Basically, all that stuff about which I’ve told myself, “Man, I really want that, I totally need one of those, maybe I should get that for myself, I’ve totally been meaning to get this…” but haven’t done anything about it for months and months (Chaco sandals, more polarized sunglasses,…
Last night, via a pathetic and not-at-all-exciting story that I am not ever going to tell, my phone fell in the toilet. I retrieved it immediately, and it took me way too long to get the battery out (it’s apparently quite difficult for a Sanyo Katana). I dried it as much as possible and left it alone overnight. Thankfully, this morning it still works, although the side buttons don’t work all the time anymore. And the front and main LCDs fog up when the phone is out under the sun. Oh well. At least I still have a phone.
Man, I’m…
So I was at a Chinese restaurant earlier tonight when I was reminded of how extremely funny the disposable chopsticks wrappers can be:
Welcome to Chinese Restaurant.
Please try your Nice Chinese Food With Chopsticks
the traditional and typical of Chinese glonous history
and cultual.
I was cracking up for like five whole minutes. I had seen it before, but it’s that funny every single time. At least to me. The actual instructions are funny, too… but I think the introduction on the front side tops the cake, on so many different levels.
