I hate it when football announcers are biased for the team I am rooting against
Feels like autumn outside. Last sunny day for a while. Time to start taking vitamin D supplements again.
Today I learned how to blow little bottles in soft glass.
Who else is a Decibel events tonight?
Broke down and bought a Zune HD. Loving the device and finding a ton of good new music via Zune Pass.
Hahaha!! RT @microsoftcougar I EATS TEH DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS DEVELOPERS NOMNOMNOMNOMDEVELOPERSNOMNOMNOM
Wondering why there is a big tray of cucumbers in the kitchen at work. http://twitpic.com/iucat
Pearl jam was amazing last night. Plus: Black, Yellow Ledbetter, general rocking. Minus: loud drunk girls behind us forgot how to wear pants
Sigh, @directv fail. No-show for installation appointment, customer service rude/unhelpful. Won’t reschedule before Fri and hung up on us!
At least I can get some satisfaction from watching the Giants humiliate the Cowboys in the first game in their new stadium.
Midway through yearly attempt to recreate Cafe Lago’s lasagna
Sage advice for coping with many of life’s frustrations. http://twitpic.com/i2avj
Great wine and cheese event last night at @pocowineroom. Another one happening in late October!
Would whoever misplaced a bag of cotton balls inside my head please come claim it? I need to brain today.
I can’t stop watching Shower Cat. He’s giving himself a shower in the kitchen sink, on purpose! http://bit.ly/PzURN
Zombie vs. vampire is the new pirate vs. ninja which was the new cake vs. pie. Me: zombie/ninja/cake.
Poison is 30 minutes late starting. Everybody tell Bret Michaels he is pretty so he will come out of the dressing room
Settling in for Poison and Def Leppard at the White River Amphitheater
Poison was not as good an opener for Def Leppard a Styx and Foreigner were 2 years ago.
Wow!! I’m there. RT @PocoWineRoom Sunday night this fall with all day happy hour on drinks and $5 truffled mac n’ cheese.
ESPN should be allowed to broadcast all of Fox’s games until Fox figures out how to make a non-glitchy broadcast.
Smoke alarm issues solved - the offending ones were replaced with more compliant, less superfluously beeping detectors.
Every Steelers fan needs a Terrible Towel. Especially if it’s ill-gotten. http://twitpic.com/h9xzu
Houses are annoying sometimes. Today’s fun: all of the smoke alarms freaked out for no apparent reason & had to be replaced.
On the up side, NFL season kickoff is in 20 minutes.
Smart tankless water heater crashed & won’t reboot. No hot water ‘til Fri at least. Incentive to visit gym? Or just relive camping vacation?
Getting ready to watch liveblog coverage of the iPod event. Lamenting again that Apple won’t get with the times and Webcast it.
Watching a torrential downpour from my living room. So glad I don’t have to leave the house today.
Getting my football fix watching Any Given Sunday. Would be so convenient if the regular NFL season started over the long weekend.
Hey @espn, show the Huskies game not your lame commentators. Sick of missing big plays because of stupid cut scenes.
My biggest motivation for going to yoga class is the pain I know I’ll feel if I don’t go and then start going again. Ow.
Holy Seahawks traffic, Batman
If all the cafes on campus are closed does that mean I don’t have to work? Cuz I have a lot to do and am not thrilled about going hungry
Heard Sergey Brin on NPR yesterday and realized as many pics of him as I’ve seen, I’d never heard his voice before. Sign of the times.
What do I have to do to get a working stapler around here?
There is a very angry and stupid bee bashing itself repeatedly against the ceiling in an attempt to escape the living room.

Farewell to all who are playa-bound. Don’t Twitter or Foursquare too much or @matt_k might shoot you with the Pants Cannon.
Thanks to all for the engagement well wishes :)
HH advisory: bar tables at Flying Fish only available until 6. Possible location change @ 6.
Back to work after vacation. How long will it take me to context switch back into work-brain mode?
Settling back in at home after a wonderful vacation to the woods and Oregon coast.
Anybody know a good car or walk-in camping spot within 50 miles of tilamook? Sand lake and cape lookout all full.
If Nickels comes in third in the primary, does he advance to the general election? Frustratingly hard to find an answer.
Finally found a place that will prepare salmon as it should be - mostly raw, waved vaguely at a flame. Had to go to Portland to find it.
Mobbed by yellow jackets in the rainforest. Escape to Portland, stalked by a bee in the elevator. Doomed to death by apian.
Off to the woods for a week.
The Boeing Dreamliner is the Windows Vista of airplanes.
Where can I find camping meals in Seattle, besides REI? Their selection is really picked over, especially the vegetarian food.
#etsy, I want to build a portfolio for my glass art but I won’t do it with you until you stop allowing #ullja to harass legitimate artists.
