  • 9-Volt Batteries and Orange Juice

    I find it interesting that of all the mundane, pointless things I *could* blog, I seem to have the impulse to write when I’m rudely awoken in the morning before I’d like to be. The alarm was set for 8:30 (yeah I know– I’m lazy). About 6 am I become conscious and gradually aware that…

  • Superfriends

    Alright. I don’t know what made me think of this today but this one cracks me up. Especially Wonder Woman:

  • Wake-up call

    So, I’m in Kanab on a short work-related trip. I’m staying at this “apartment” that’s attached to the manufacturing facilities here where I’ll be training a few people on some software. “Apartment” is a modest name for it. It’s like a really nice condo– nicer than any of the hotels I’ve been put up in…

  • Who loves the Kwik-E-Mart?

    Obviously the Sloan boys do. Who doesn’t love the Kwik-E-Mart? Our Harry Potter loving sisters, that’s who! Hehehe… So yeah. While down in southern Utah a week and a half ago, Dan, Steve and I decided to take a day trip out to Henderson, NV to check out one of a handful of 7-11’s that…

  • back in the day

    A couple weeks back I flipped through all the archives of my blog looking for a picture. It was fun but at the same time sad to see how far the blog has degenerated… I used to post pictures regularly. First I stopped posting pictures, then I stopped taking very many… it’s so pathetic, somehow…

  • Sinner.

    My brother Shawn (Elder Sloan, that is) rebuked me and a couple of my siblings today for not “pursuing eternal companions”. Dang it, I’m a sinner! the apostles have spoken that after a mission, there is nothing that should prevent you from starting a family, Elder Oaks speaks very very strongly about that. He even…

  • Homestar, Nintendo, etc…

    I watched this video snippet last night of an interview with the makers of Homestarrunner.com. Matt Chapman seriously cracks me up– I’m not sure what’s funnier, the characters in the cartoons or just watching Matt do their voices. The part that just had me rolling was the part a little over half way into this…

  • Gas Pumps

    I’m driving to work. The gas light illuminates on the dash, letting me know I’ve got less than a quarter tank left. I pull in to the Holiday Oil to tank up before work. I notice the total from the car before me is a nice round number (some dollar amount with zero cents at…

  • One more reason why Hawaii rocks.

    So, I’m sitting here at work eating some Hawaiian bbq from a place called Lanikai grill (some kalua pork, bbq chicken and bbq beef w/ rice), and a coworker buys me a pepsi. I take a drink, and DANG it tastes good. A little more satisfying than usual. I thought maybe it just compliments the…

  • oodalali

    Just a couple of miscellaneous thoughts from today. I realized today that a lot of my best friends are accountants (with masters degrees in accounting). I’m an artist. Why is it I get along with the accountants so well? I went to work for a couple hours today– in t-shirt, board shorts, and flip flops…

  • Don’t stare at me, you’ve got the bug eyes…

    Ok folks, seriously. I’ve had this conversation with a couple people, but WTH? Why do women love these sunglasses that are so huge and oddly shaped? The ones in the picture above aren’t even the worst one’s I’ve seen– I’ve seen bigger. They seriously remind me a bit of Baxter Stockman a la Ninja Turtles,…

  • Once you’ve had sac….

    You never go back. And I’m not talking about the Korean grape juice with sac, hehe. I’m actually referring to LoveSac. Last night marked a momentous occassion– I slept on my own bed for the first time in 4 years (finally cleared the bed off). Outside of the occassional hotel room or night at the…

  • cardboard

    The people who designed the packaging for this cereal did well. I’ve begun to get into the habit of eating a more substantial breakfast and then eating a light lunch of cereal. So, getting tired of the puffed-wheat-smelling urine that I have to deal with a few different times a day as a result of…

  • World’s End

    I should really get back to posting short inane posts. They’re not bad unless they’re the only thing visible for weeks or months or years at a time. I’m listening to the soundtrack to Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End and I must say I’m stoked to go see it tomorrow night at 8pm.…

  • mikie decides to drink water

    The title of this post *almost* says enough. What it doesn’t tell you is how frequently I’ve gone to the bathroom this afternoon. Yes, I’ve started trying to drink a gallon of water a day to help the ol metabolism out and get some more energy / lose more fat. People love the gigantor watter…
