August 29, 2008 Post of Complete Off-Topicness

In fact, I don’t really have any sort of rooting interest in college football at all. I enjoy watching it…and that’s about it.

The NFL on the other hand…

Unfortunately, the Cougars are going to have to play their asses off to keep up with OK.

At least South Carolina looked good last night.

I love being a contract worker most times but the absence of PTO can sometimes be an irritant.

and they offered to “upgrade my internet speed” for only an extra $10 a month. When I expressed displeasure that Comcast would artificially limit internet speeds and BW only to charge more for decent speed, I was met with a short silence, a low-voiced “i know, dude, it sucks” and then he rolled on with his sales pitch.

Flying to Vegas is very entertaining, because most people on the plane are going there to drink and gamble, so they get a head start. Flying home is better, though, because all those people are hung over, broke, and veeeerrrry quiet.

but we were unfortunately on a plane back from Dublin on the day. At some point I will do it, though, it looks insane like fun.

They got off to a pretty decent start, and they were pretty fun to watch, but the Padres have played so much roster roulette this year that they’ve been really inconsistent and hard to follow. The problem with the Beavers is that they were (and are) loaded with AAAA guys like McAnulty, Luke Carlin, and Chip Ambres; they’d go to the big club, suck, and come back down and tear up the PCL. Cla Meredith got a few innings of mop-up work last night, so that was mildly interesting – especially since my wife had never seen a sidearm pitcher before. She was amazed that that motion could actually produce a pitch.

bigass burrito, $5.50? yes please.

I actually ate well last night too, and this morning. I don’t get it.

he’ll wind up, start his motion, and his arm will go flying into the stands for some lucky fan to take home as a souvenir. Unless he barters for its return by offering a signed bat or jersey.

There is nothing the Kinks did that is bad.

It’d probably only be for a few years, but as much as I love the PNW I need to live somewhere else for a little while. I’ve spent the last 18 of my 25 years here, and I don’t want to set down roots anywhere until I’ve lived as an adult in at least one other place. This ass of a summer has kind of forced the issue. Always liked Denver when I was a kid, don’t want to live in the south, California or on the east coast.

Aside from the fact that it’s high up and pretty.

But people are amazing. They expect everything yesterday. However, I call a bunch of clients to get NOLA some leads on jobs and no one gets back to me.

Well, lunch is done so I’m back to work. Have fun off-topicing folks.
