As I sit here in my cubicle at work I smell smoke, and even begin to feel the effects of the smoke. It’s a ton worse outside of the office. The picture above is just of the Salt Lake Valley, and the fire isn’t even that close to where I am. It’s a 3,200-acre wildfire…

…is vashing my vindows. (anyone ever read “Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark”?) Man, this guy scared me. Not that I haven’t seen them in the past, but I can see people’s reflections in my monitor because of the windows behind me– helps keep people from sneaking up on me (besides that fact that…

Perhaps I’ve been cursed. September 19th– talk like a pirate day, Marianne’s wedding day, etc… will I remember this day for these things? Nope. I think this day might be cursed or unlucky for Sloanie. Unfortunately I don’t have my archives online currently, so I can’t post a link to it, but about a year…

Ahoy mates– here ya go: talklikeapirate.com Learn about why tomorrow’s special and how to talk like a pirate. Arrr!

Guess what September 19th is? Well, besides the day that Marianne is getting married and having her wedding reception, it’s Talk Like a Pirate Day, woo! I couldn’t have picked a better day myself, now I can film parts of Mar’s reception and what not and narrate with a pirate voice… dang, I HAVE to…

Word of the Day: altercation \Al`ter*ca”tion\ (?; 277), n. [F. altercation, fr. L. altercatio.] Warm contention in words; dispute carried on with heat or anger; controversy; wrangle; wordy contest. Yeah, Josh taught me this word the other day. He said he felt an altercation with the in-laws coming on because someone had impersonated his brother…

I was just mid-conversation with my friend Ty on messenger when the power went out. I’m sure the football junkies upstairs aren’t too happy about this, hahaha… but I logged back on with my laptop and cell phone just because I could– yes, I’m so proud of my geekiness. I do wonder what the deal…

Got this e-mail from Mar– worthy of posting 😀 Sorry if you’ve seen it before. HOW TO BATHE THE CAT! 1. THOROUGHLY CLEAN THE TOILET. 2. LIFT THE LID AND ADD SHAMPOO. 3. FIND AND SOOTHE CAT AS YOU CARRY IT TO THE BATHROOM. 4. IN ONE SWIFT MOVE, PLACE CAT IN THE TOILET, CLOSE…

you find yourself sucking on a packet of Grape Jam from McDonalds. Not too bad, actually– tastes very much like a grape fruit rollup, hehehe…

It turns out that Mordor smells like women’s perfume. Or at least that’s my guess. What does the “per” stand for? We know it’s a deadly fume! DANG! Rant time. Someone *cough* same annoying director of the department *cough* just walked past my cube into hers and DANG, could you put any MORE perfume on?…

I just had to take a moment to pause and express how grateful I am for music. Some of you know that I like to blow my money on gadgets and stuff that enhance my music listening experience. I have a new toy 😉 and as I sit here at work listening to music with…

Today I packed up the Joycook “Rosta” grill and headed down to Salt Lake to meet with Hae An, Joel, and Hang for some Samkyupsal. Man, that was, as Joel said, one of the best Korean meals I’ve had in the states. It was much like the time before when we had it, except this…

Hehehe… I’m still laughing about this, and I thought I’d share. Maybe you’ve seen this already but I found a link to this site promoting Ahnold in my junk mail. Here’s one of the better governator shirts below: Ah, if only politics were always this entertaining. Should be interesting to see what happens in California…

Joel mentioned the price of gas in his post yesterday, reminded me that I had taken these pics a week ago… So yes, gas prices are at an all-time high. Who else is feeling the pain? This was a first for me to have to pay over $30 to fill up my car. I mean…
