Tired but excited…

1 Reply

So I stayed up for the entire Colts-Pats game, as seen by my last entry early this morning. Which means I’m tired, but I’m excited for this week to begin because on Friday Brett & Heather will be driving in to visit us. Going to be a fun weekend, we’re going to go watch the Colts play the Bills among other things.

I picked up a new phrase today from Penny Arcade, pray I do not point it at you. LOL!

Verrrrrry tempting purchase, I fear I might go broke though.

Here’s a really good breakdown of the Colts-Pats game.

Trying to decide on a color scheme for a room? for a website? for a newsletter? Color Palette Generator to the rescue! It’s pretty neat, I messed with it for a solid 15 minutes.

Carson got his class photos back.. THEY ARE AWESOME!!

Dumb dog

So, I won’t normally make weekend posts because there’s always so much going on. Today however, the dog decided to whine quite loudly beginning at 4am.. I successfully ignored him until 5 when I could no longer stand it. I let him out and he ran down stairs to get a drink of water and then started to head back up… I was like, no way dude.. get outside and do something in the grass. Anyway, then I couldn’t go back to sleep so I’ve been updating my iPod and reading stuff on the internet. Meh, maybe I’ll play a video game until everyone else wakes up.

Class today

Today I’m sitting in on a co-worker’s class on Group Policy Objects. I made that sentence a link to a wikipedia article, in case you were wondering what it was. After reading the article myself it seemed boring, but it’s not and I’m super psyched to be in the class. Since I’ll be in this class I may not update this much today but I’ll try to put some stuff in here that might pop into my head.

More later.

Quick note on the “This day in history” tip… GODZILLA! was released this day in 1954 in Tokyo. If you ever listen to The Bob and Tom morning show, you will chuckle knowing this fact. I know I did.

WHOA! Louisville beat West Virginia 44-34. I thought it would be a close game but that WV would come out on top, after reading Pat Forde’s story on ESPN.com it looks like Louisville shocked more than just me. This is why I like College Football so much, the stories, the drama, the “intangibles” (*does the Brett hand motion*), and home team being able to perform ungodly feats thanks to their fans. Pro football is fun but it lacks the heart and drama of the College scene.

K.. back to class. 😉

LUNCH BREAK!! Ok, so I was talking with someone about Google’s income so far this year and it being in the billions. I FOUND THE LINK! Yes, revenue of $2.69 BILLION for the 3rd quarter. If you love Google as much as I do (which I’m hardly certain is possible), then you’ll find Download Squad’s coverage of Google very entertaining. One link I got from the Googleholic category that I found more scary than entertaining was The Church of Google. I mean wow, freak alert. 😉

Alright folks, back to class… let’s hope I don’t get the normal post lunch coma.

Coma averted… whew.

Helpful links from class:

Good class overall, I learned some quality stuff.. that I will spare all of you from. 😉

So, I’ve never had a blog…

and maybe that was a good thing. I am here now though, so you’re screwed.

Great link if you are running Windows Vista: http://blogs.zdnet.com/Bott/?page_id=164&page=7

The saga continues with Dell Financial… I’m not sure how they can continually do things incorrectly but they never fail to surprise me.

What else, Carson had dentist and doctor appointments… all checked out for him, which is nice. He is in the 50th percentile for height and weight, so despite him appearing to be smaller than everyone, he’s the normal one. Note to self, stop hanging around with people with HUGE children. 😉 hehe

It rocks… little buggy on my OLD Blackberry (plus it’s version 1.00), but overall it’s awesome. So much faster than using the web browser and it looks a ton better.
