My Friend Sammy Likes Tequilla...

Shot 10 of 18

...and so does Tequilla Drink-Off challenger, Bryan. After eighteen shots, there was a variety of drunk behavior and Sammy was crowned champion. She was helped to bed shortly following victory and kept company by a slew of people playing loud games on her bedroom floor. Sammy was not phased and continued sleeping, and much to our relief, breathing. Woo-hoo!

I Can Post Song Lyrics Too

Lyrical thoughts about recent events:

“Oops, I did it again.”
---Brittany Spears

“What kind of love is this that keeps me hanging on despite everything it’s doing to me. The kind of love that keeps me coming back for more when it will only be misery.”
---Sara McLachlan

“I’d rather walk alone than chase you around. I’d rather fall myself than let you drag me on down.”
---Ben Harper

“Fuck you and your untouchable face. Fuck you for existing in the first place. Who am I that I should be vying for your touch? Who am I? Bet you can’t even give me that much.”
---Ani DiFranco

“Bound by wild desire, I fell into a ring of fire.”
---Johnny Cash

“People spend so much time every single day running around all over town, giving their forever away. No, not me, I won’t let my forever roam. And now I hope I’ll find my forever home. Give me your forever.”
---Ben Harper

“This is all I have so please take what’s left of this heart and use… please use only what you really need. You know I only have so little so please, mend your broken heart and leave.”
---Jack Johnson

“If I could save time in a bottle, the first thing I’d like to do is to save every day till eternity passes away just to spend them with you.”
---Jim Croche

And finally…

“Barmaid, bring a pitcher- another round of brew. Honey, why don’t we get drunk and screw?”
---Jimmy Buffet

~SUSHI~SUSHI~SUSHI~

Mmmm, delicious!


New Thursday afternoon tradition: Lunch at the Empire Buffet with Patrick, Liz, & Robin.
In preparation, we ate minimally before our 2:00 lunch date. My breakfast consisted of a fruit juice popsickle and Patrick's was an english muffin. Going to the Empire takes preparation and endurance. There's no room for snackers or filling up on bread at the buffet, baby.

Our meals consisted largely of sushi, paritally of fruit and fried_____ (insert vegetable/meat), and minimally of soda (which does not come with the meal, frugal people be warned!). Over the course of the meal we ate too much, laughed about republicans, and shared gossip. Three plates and twenty minutes of sitting/digesting later, we went our separate ways, back to the non-sushi world.

See you next Thursday

Momma Dreams of Ice Cream Cones

Momma

Okay, so I apologize for repeated posting of cat pictures, and I do realize that this is a one way ticket to old-cat-lady land, but look how silly my cat was when she was napping this afternoon. What a goofy cat. My cats have hardly left the house in weeks because of the weather, which is odd for them, since they typically behave like ferrell cats that hate me. Maybe it's because I take embarrasing photos of them in the Winter and they rebell for the rest of the year. Maybe it's time for me to go to bed.

Hey, doesn't this cat kinda look like Chris's FACE???!!

Long Awaited New Year's Eve Pics

As we celebrated at Scott's house in Portland, these events were taking place around the country:

• Cowboys in Kingsport, TN held on as long as possible to mechanical bulls. Oddly enough, I lived in Kingsport, Tennessee when I was in 1st and 2nd grade. Hmm.
• A trailer was burning in Erie, PA. No one died. Check out the newscaster's mustache.
• Gay men went smoochy smoochy at Clarke's in Chicago. Yeah, baby.
• 150 Members of the Monument Beach Polar Bear Club dove in to 38 degree water to resolve that 2005 will be a better year than 2004. Crazy bastards.
• People attended the 2005 Guitar Drop in Nashville Tennessee. Yee-haw.
• Motley Crue announced that they would add 25 more dates to their Red, White, and Crue tour while on the Jay Leno show. They're not coming to Oregon...Awww, darn it.
  

You can find some random shit on the internet. Happy New Year and a shout out to all the homies that went to Scott's soire (pictured below).

2005, Already? 

I Got Another Job

Nerd Alert

This is what I do all day at my new job. I spend about 5% of my day helping people or doing anything resembling work. The other 95% is spent doing my homework and dorking out endlessly on the computer. This is hard work, man.

Adios Enskies, Welcome Back Max's

Goodbye Enskies

The Enskies & Laura are are no longer Oregon residents. This is a very sad thing.

Max's Tavern on 13th avenue has re-opened after a six-month remodel. This is an awesome thing. See you at Super Mug Sunday!

Blog Readership Surges in 2004

Tuesday, January 4, 2005

The Pew Internet & American Life Project released a study this week that showed that blog readership in 2004 increased by 58%, with 6 million Americans getting news and information fed to them through RSS aggregators. The same study shows that there are over 8 million people creating web-based logs or diaries. However, the same study shows that 62% of online Americans do not know what a blog is. Blogs are online diaries or where Internet users posts their opinions, thoughts, observations, or whatever else they like to the world. The Pew Internet & American Life Project is a non-profit that studies the social impact of the Internet.
