i got my tax refund already! whoo!

despair.com has a new demotivational video up. go check out “addressing employee complaints” for a good laugh. oh, and for a $5 off code at the end

when i got a tattoo on my ankle, my dad was convinced it was going to prevent me from ever getting a job. i thought this was hysterical since that would mean that half the people i knew would never get jobs. however, this tattoo might be a slight problem.

FRANK C. ERWIN SPECIAL EVENTS CENTER, 1701 Red River

Public Intoxication: A non-UT subject, who was under the age of 21, was stopped after being observed attempting to open the door to a private suite before turning and running into the arena concourse wall. When asked for his identification, the subject handed the police officer a $20.00 bill and claimed it to be his identification. “Andrew Jackson” went on to state he had consumed 18 alcoholic beverages and begged to be let go to avoid facing another of many alcohol offenses. “Andrew Jackson” was found to be under the influence of alcoholic beverages to the point he was a physical endangerment to himself. Occurred on 01-27-06 at 8:05 PM.

despite my claims that i was going to start getting to sleep at a reasonable hour on weekend nights, i somehow ended up staying up WAY too late on both friday and saturday.

friday was happy hour at mother egan’s with jason, shanna, jim and beth since we were missing their engagement happy hour the next night. then i convinced jason that instead of sleeping he really should drink gin with jenn and robby and me on the tiki porch. then we fell asleep while sitting up on the couch and watching jaws at about 4am. oops. we were very confused when we woke up at 8 and couldn’t quite figure out where we were or what was going on.

then shanna had her birthday/chinese new year party on saturday night. it was lots of fun. the police came at about 4? we got home at about 5? and as you can probably guess, not much was accomplished on sunday besides reading the paper, eating chinese food, and watching tv.

noel gallagher is an ass. i’m sure he’ll be paying for years of therapy when his daughter is old enough to read this article.

can you guess what this guy threw at a police officer?

i stayed at jason’s last night so we were on his schedule and went to bed at 10. since i didn’t have to get up until 7 (well after getting up at 4 and driving home and going back to sleep) i got a good 8 hours in! i feel so rested.

yay friday!

this article about rats is almost guaranteed to give you nightmares. it’s so interesting that i couldn’t stop reading though. rats can tread water for 3 days? they can chew through cinder blocks? eewwwww!

dusty’s blog about bad ass snack food is pretty amusing.

jason and i are going to artz tonight because greg is playing. or is it because i’m craving their baby back ribs? and their potato salad? mmmm… well, that might partly be the reason

so my dad sends me an email updating me on his medical status. now they’re not sure if he has ankylosing spondigitis but they are sure he has moderate to severe degenerative disk disease. i’m working so i don’t look it up, but just shoot him back an email asking what that means – will he need surgery? or will they just give him pain medication?
he sends back-

i think it means you live with your kids in your wheel chair and order them around til you die at 97.

he cracks me up.

there’s a new strongbad email up today. secret identies aren’t just for superheroes and garth brooks, you know.

and here’s the latest installment of funny mug shots from the smoking gun.

i think this song made the rounds last year, but man it is so catchy! the english version is pretty bad. you have to listen to the dutch version with the little girl singing. oh, schnappi.

ricky gervais has a bunch of podcasts of ‘the ricky gervais show‘ that are making me laugh. actually i think he could just read the news and i’d laugh.

jason and jason played at ego’s last night (together they’re better day maybe). those roll-y chairs seemed like more fun last time i was there. sigh.

i had a very relaxing weekend.

• friday jason and i went to gino’s for dinner and drinks (first time i’ve been there since the smoking ban and it was kind of weird) and i had a great mushroom pizza. i love their super thin crust.
• saturday i went to audrey’s wedding shower and ate too much cheese, smoked salmon, and brownies (jenn should have pictures up sometime this week hopefully). the shower prompted my new ‘it isn’t a party until’ line. ‘it isn’t a party until two babies are nursing.’ we are getting old! after the shower jenn, robby, jason and i sat in the tiki bar drinking whiskey until about 3am.
• sunday had already been declared lazy couch day earlier in the week so jason made us cheese and bacon omelets for breakfast (well lunch i guess), we read the paper, laid around, watched the steeler game, drank beer, made stuffed chicken breasts for dinner, watched desperate housewives, and then jason went home so he could wake up at 4am. poor boy.

and now it’s monday. who’s coming to ego’s with me tonight??

ps- here’s my new work picture. it didn’t turn out too badly. this was only take number like 11

josh’s blog about the ‘middle seat maneuver‘ cracked me up. i think josh needs to write a blog a day.

i missed jon stewart’s take on ray nagin’s comments on monday. if you did too – go here and click on ‘replacement killers’.

sunni, angela, jenn and i all ordered kits from sublime stitching today. we’re going to embroider up some stuff with pirates.. or monkeys!

and this needs to be my knitting project (or crochet if i can remember how to do that)! i need more of these. i know i made fun of them when i was a teenager but i mean… they don’t fall on the floor when you use them! how handy is that? i still haven’t figured out how to fix the dropped stitches on that hat i was making um, in 2003?

The subject was described as a white male, 5’11” tall, 170 pounds, dark hair, a mustache and goatee wearing a black leather jacket with metal spikes and a pair of handcuffs hanging from it, a blue t-shirt with the words “Hello, My name is Pig” on the front of the shirt and a knit cap.

is nagin losing it?

“How do you make chocolate? You take dark chocolate, you mix it with white milk, and it becomes a delicious drink. That is the chocolate I am talking about,” he said.

update from chris-
check out the video of the speech here. and some enterprising person started a site selling related items in less than 24 hours!

i don’t know how anyone could have missed me talking about this over the last few weeks, but if you did somehow, here’s your update jason freed is now producing the morning show on majic 95.5 so every weekday from 6am-10am you can listen to jason giving traffic updates and stuff. and you can sing along with some soft rock.

unfortunately, they’re not streaming on the internet, so you’ll probably have to listen as you’re driving in to work … and you have to be in austin…. but if you’re here you have no excuse!

they have a ton of contests on the site too so sign up! you can also win stuff by signing up for their rewards program. if you’re sweet, i might even tell you the morning code word

you have to admire this woman’s quick thinking when she got caught in the HOV lane alone… but yeah… that wouldn’t really work-

“To follow her philosophy would require officers to carry guns, radios and pregnancy testers, and I don’t think we want to go there,” said Sgt. Dave Norton

and this is possibly the most horrible outfit that i’ve ever seen.
