College football’s bowl season is now upon upon us. The system that the NCAA currently has in place is badly broken, so there will be many games that aren’t worth watching. However, there are still a few pretty good ones if you have the time. Check out below:
December 27, 2007– Pacific Life Holiday Bowl at San Diego California.… read more “Can’t Miss Bowl Games”
Two more work days and then I have nine straight days of vacation! I may even have eleven if my boss lets me take New Years Eve day off as well. I haven’t had this much vacation in a year and a half- I think the most I’ve taken off was four or five days in a row.… read more “Almost There…”

Yesterday, I picked up a nice Foreshner 8” chef’s knife, a ceramic sharpener and a nice cutting board. I used them last night to cook myself up a fine batch of hobo hash. Hobo hash is a mix of potatoes, grilled onions, hamburger, garlic, eggs and other tasty stuff. I made myself a massive quantity. Yum.

L0ri asked me to post a link to her online photo album here, so go check it out- L0rir0se’s photography. Some of it is pretty good, especially the black and white pictures. My favorites are “Carnavale in Venezia”, “Christina Chen” (b&w), “Roses and Orchids” and “Venice”.
Big plans last night. I had a few different friends all with fun stuff they wanted to do. A couple of coworkers wanted me to go out to Tiki Bob’s with them and I was kind of interested because I haven’t gone out in Pioneer Square since I moved into it. Another friend, Zosia, who had just finished her semester at law school was out partying in Ballard and invited me to meet up.… read more “Friday Wild Man”
The Grinch here is not quite sure what he wants for Christmas. Grinchie doesn’t much like giving presents and when he receives them he feels bad because he didn’t get the other person Christmas presents. Last Christmas, the Grinch offered to cook dinner for several different people for Christmas, but they never took him up on it.… read more “No Christmas for the Grinch”
No Country for Old Men was one of the best movies I’ve seen yet. I hate movies that all have a similar ending and this one was new, yet somehow you knew what would happen in the end.
After work, I was feeling bored but not too sociable and I remembered I had been intending to see No Country for Old Men, so I went to Fandango and looked up the show time.… read more “No Country For Old Men – Amazing Movie”
I took my car in to the Firestone in Ballard to have them redo the starter on my Ford Contour that the Westlake Firestone had messed up. They redid it for free because it was under warranty, but then found $400 in other “problems” that I had to fix and pay for. Firestone sure put a hurting on my wallet.… read more “Expensive Car Repairs from Firestone Seattle”
