I have a blackberry. For those unaware, your phone provider has the ability to “push” applications to your handset. You cannot delete these programs. You can hide the icon, but you cannot get rid of them altogether. They just added another program to this list, which really upset me. Grr. I now have a special hidden folder called “Garbage” in which I have shoved facebook, myspace, msn, bing, and this crappy “social beat”. Verizon needs a social beatdown.

We bought some Dave’s Killer Bread the other night. It’s really a good bread. The Good Seed variety that we bought is different from other breads in that it’s somewhat sticky. It makes a good sandwich. Can’t really recommend it enough.

We went out to the Glenwood (which is not IN Glenwood at all, but in fact on Willamette in Eugene.
I had the clam chowder to start, which was just plain terrible. It was watery and thin. It had some kind of spice in it that made it spicy-hot, but not spicy-flavorful.
For the main course, I had a cheeseburger, which claimed to be a Ninkasi Cheeseburger. As far as I can tell, it was a plain ‘ol beef patty. It had the recognizable shape of the stamped out frozen beef patties that I can buy at the grocery store. The taste was good. The Tillamook cheddar was delicious, and the bacon on it was great. The only real problem is that the bun was soaking wet. The kinda kills it for me.
Overall, I give it a C+. Everyone else seemed to like it though.

I do not desire to be anyone’s “fan”, fake “friend”, or whatnot. I do not want to write on your wall. I do not give a crap what you are doing right-this-minute. Most people out there put the twit in twitter.
I know this may sound somewhat contradictory from someone with their own website, but I’m not convinced that anyone really gives a crap what I think. I am not so conceited as to think that anyone really cares what the last movie I saw was, how I scored on such quiz, what 80s pair of shoes I am, etc.
Blech. Go outside, you self-obsessed narcissists.

Several solid days of nothing but rain. Hopefully all this rain will make for decent golf courses this spring and summer.
We had a luau party at work today as a fund raiser for the food drive. We made a few bucks, so it was at least a marginal success. Nikki spent at least an hour making all the teriyaki chicken. I made the rice. But I did have to carry everything in from the car, and that was hard.

Just in the really, really, really off chance that Mike Riley is reading this…
Do not go to USC. SC is the devil. Stay with the beavs. PLEASE!
EDIT: Followup – Riley signed a 3 year contract extention, saying “I am staying right here”.
Go beavs.

It took me a while, but I moved the website today, and with no email downtime. That’s pretty good if you ask me. I am going to bring back all my old posts, but I have to un-vandalize them. Things will take time but they will get done.

Site is going to be down for a while, I think. I’ve got to move it to another server soon. There’s a lot going on, and I’m not really updating much, and nobody reads the site, so I doubt anyone will ever notice.

Well, it’s been a while since I posted anything. I tried to get the updater working from my Blackberry, but it didn’t seem to want to work for me. I got my new job, and have been in training for the last week. More training to follow.
Last weekend, we sat around and watched movies, got a bunch of updating of stuff done, cleaned the house, etc. We’re going to spend the weekend watching movies and football again.
