Shawn posted about this on the family blog, but I thought I’d share my experience. So I have a new dog, he’s a Miniature Schnauzer named Gimli. He’s adorable. I’m actually pretty impressed with this game– the only thing I don’t have to do for this dog is potty train him. So far he doesn’t…

So are the images on this site unecessarily huge? I was thinking I could probably make the blog more readable if I scaled them down a bit. I’m sure that’s a design question I’ll be answering myself when I get around to overhauling this site’s design. (You might have noticed I took a hack-saw to…

How can people do this? I was on a message board yesterday and someone said they couldn’t wait until October 1 to listen to Christmas music (they had made an agreement with someone that they wouldn’t listen until then). What? October 1? Even November 1 is pushing it. I used to think November 1 was…

So today I filled the candy dish at work with Atomic Fireballs. So far not a big hit (I’m not complaining– that’s just longer until I have to refill the thing 😉 ) What is it about enjoying food that hurts to eat? Yesterday I was in rough shape most the day from not sleeping…

I do a lot of thinking. I know, you’re probably thinking “wow, he actually uses his brain?” or “thinking, wow, what a unique concept!” All the same, it is a shame that many of the thought provoking subjects I consider blogging never make it onto the blog. Not because you would enjoy reading it but…

I just got a text message on my phone that is apparently a text message “forward”. It’s not bad enough that e-mail forwards polute our inboxes, is it? “Today is national I LOVE U DAY. If u get this ur loved. Send this to 10 people in the next 143 min. Then check ur INBOX.”…

As if you didn’t have enough blogs to read to waste time, I’ve gone and started another one. We’ll see how many Sloans actually jump on this bandwagon, but it could be fun. It’s titled I feel like I’m taking crazy pills! and it’s pretty much a place for anyone in the family to post…

Ok so this is a crappy post to put up for the first post in a month in a half– heaven knows I’ve had post ideas floating through my head for a month or so that I never typed out because comments were disabled… but who cares, here it goes anyways, a jab at my…

Jordan River Temple, August 4, 2005 Too bad a few of the spouts are broken… oh well, the broken ones create interest… or something 😉 (Yes, I still haven’t fixed comments.)

Recently Sus asked how Jon’s wedding reception was, since she was going to go at one point but didn’t make it. Sus, I don’t have any comments about the food, sorry for shirking my role as a guy. Instead, here are the pictures I took at the reception: Oh, and happy be-lated birthday Sus! =P…

You don’t see this *everyday* on your way to work, do you? I have no idea how people get in these wrecks. Someone run a red light? Scary, anyways.

I just realized that I’ve come to find slacking off so boring that I prefer to work (ok, and listen to music while I work). Yikes. If only that translated into working on this web site, huh?

FYI I’ve disabled comments from “unregistered users” so that I won’t get any spam comments– I got like a buttload of spam comments just within 24 hours of updating with one single post. Lame. I’ll have to take the time eventually to modify the commenting code because I’m not really sure what’s involved in becoming…
