  • In true Northwestern fashion…

    Willie the Wildcat fumbles the ball.  And part of his right arm for that matter.  Funny that I ordered two bobbleheads and the Northwestern one was the one which broke during shipping.  I’ll patch him up with some glue and he’ll be as good as new right along side icon-of-the-midwest,  Ray from Menards…..definitely the strangest looking bobblehead in my collection….and yes,  my camera phone sucks.  no idea why it is so hazy…its impossible to touch the lens……

    A couple weeks back,  my girlfriend was giving me shit about posting a screenshot from a poker tournament I won,  to this blog.   Hmmm.  This interview cracks me up….  I never knew I was dating an up-and-coming poker star…….I guess i’m partly to blame.  Not much else to say, except that i’m off to Bayside tonight for the weekly $20 tourney….where I hope to improve upon last weeks 10th place finish out of 22.

  • another incredible weekend.   i wish i could always eat as well as I did the past few days. zushi puzzle,  first watch (brunch),  postrio,  greens @ fort mason,  and then some very yummy bruschetta + roasted peppers. 

    what a boring superbowl.  didn’t even bet on it. (the $10 in the office pool hardly counts)  only casually watched it,  while I cleaned up the apartment a bit.  My girlfriend is a rock star,  as she totally reorganized my kitchen.  I have space for everything now.  And it is CLEAN!  at least, the kitchen is…..

  • I had a song stuck in my head earlier today.  More tune and snippets of lyrics, than full song……unfortunately,  even with my mastery of Google,  I could not find the song that I was looking for.   Now,  much to my dismay,  I can not remember that tune.  Alkaline Trio’s “We’ve Had Enough” has now taken over that part of my brain and even though I love the song,  I wish I could shake it for the song which drove me mad this morning between conference calls. 

    I have an hour to kill before heading off to an exhibit at the Exploratorium.  That means a pint or two from the Michelob Ultra keg and praying to the gods that Sirius channel 21 plays the song over their online stream.
