Finally!

My computer hutch from Ashley Furniture arrived. I was so relieved to see the correct piece of furniture AND it was undamaged I could have wept. This was the FOURTH delivery attempt. I've spent the morning cleaning up my office and getting things settled.

We've got a lead on a new pharmacist that sounds very promising. Recently, life handed me a big fat lemon in the work department and I think I may have found a way to make a giant pitcher of lemonade. I can't stand lying in any way shape or form. I'm also a firm believer in what comes around goes around and eventually someone will be getting their due. So while I'm drudging away staffing for the third weekend in a row I will have a smile on my face.

I let loose on Wednesday night with my brother and Kyle. Boy did I need that. It felt good to just shut down from the work scene a bit and do some venting, and drinking of course. Good times were had by all. I also watched Spies like Us for the first time in what felt like forever. Man I love that movie. Fitshume and Milbarge. I'm sure I spelled that wrong, but what the heck. I was laughing so hard at one point my stomach hurt.

Have a great weekend guys!

Picutre this......

Me on Shumps's shoulders, heading towards the mosh pit at the Reel Big Fish show. What does this equal? A terrified Roonz. The only other time I'd experienced altitude on this level was in an airplane. Oh and nice work behind me Mr. High eyebrow arch. I know who you are and I know where you live.

Shump and little one.

I'm having issues posting pictures from the web so I'll try to do this again tomorrow. Josh has some comical pictures from the show.

Last night!

"talking bout last night"

What am I talking bout? I'm talking about how last nights show was amazing. I'm talking bout how my ears are still ringing, and I'm dead tired. Amazing folks. Everyone should go to a RCPM show. Josh took a ton of good pictures and videos last night. As soon as he uploads them to youtube I'll give everyone a taste.

And speaking of pictures, there is a reason I don't usually bring a camera to the bar or after hours for that matter. Most of the time I don't want to see the photographic evidence of my stupidity. So I give you these gems. They start off nice and innocent. Posing with friends for nice pictures to remember years later...and then the ones you never want your family to see. What can I say? I work hard and give 150% to everything I do, including having a good time outside of work.

I'm laying low tonight to rest up. I'm thinking of firing up the grill and watching some baseball.

Later gators!

This is X-citing!

I stumbled across this gem yesterday! Mulder and Scully back in action again! I have so very many fonds memories from the show. Also, David Duchovny has a new show out on Showtime called Californication. I will be watching of course. One, it has David and two it premieres after the season 3 premier of Weeds. And I love Weeds.

Carl and I hung out last night and reminisced about pharmacy school and all sorts of thing. Somehow Tea Leoni came up and we started laughing about the episode Hollywood A.D. with her and Gary Shandling guest starring. "How do you run in those shoes?"

Oh, good times.

We're #1

Although, I'd prefer that we were dead last. I spent close to $46 for 13 gallons yesterday. Of course we reach nation leading highs when I have to start commuting to Bellevue again.

Ellie and I have been up and at it since six this morning. We had a 30 minute power walk and some play time in the yard. I hope she's tired enough to sleep well while I'm working.

Beat box

I totally forgot to post a link to Matisyahu beat boxing. I think he should have a competition with the guy from Police Academy.




I'll post more tomorrow and try and get some clips up from the Violent Femmes show.

Hello again!

I figured since it has been roughly fifteen days since I last posted I was well overdue. Life and work have been keeping me busier than I'd like. I'm busy covering vacation days left and right it seems. I have to pick up the next two possibly three weekends and a Friday thrown in there for good measure.

My house is finally organized and clean again. I wasn't even the one moving but it still felt like it. I can't tell you how nice it was to have my parents come and visit and I didn't have to sleep on the couch.

Due to work I was unable to make it to the Big Head Todd show. I was really bummed about that. Red, white and Boom was a blast. Matisyahu is amazing to hear. Hearing beat box and King without a crown would have made that show for even the most causal Matisyahu fan. There is also something to be said for seeing 311 play in front of the home crowd. They played a lot of old school songs. Sean, I saw Dr. Hexum there. For those of you who might not know, Nick Hexum's dad was one of our pharmacology professors. Do you remember that quote? He explained the baroreceptor reflex by discussing someone slitting their wrists. "And then the brain would go whoa what's going on down there we gotta get some more pressure" Okay, I just totally geeked out there. Moving on..........I have one major negative about Red, White, and Boom.

I HATE WESTFAIR AMPHITHEATER! My grandmother always used to say hate is a strong word and I should really mean it when I use it. Well, this time I really do.

Seriously, when you sit in the parking lot. Wait scratch that. No concrete, no yellow lines or parking stalls equals an open field. Any one would be pissed off when forced to wait in an open field filled with cars upon cars with only one exit and one cop directing traffic for the same amount of time as the concert you just saw. It put a huge buzz kill on the night for me. Especially when the concert took place on Sunday evening and I had to work Monday morning. I am boycotting River Riot and I also skipped O.A.R. for that reason.

On a random note, HBO has an upcoming show that will go behind the scenes of the K.C. Chiefs pre season camp. I can hardly contain my excitement.

Okay, since I've exceeded my geek quota for one post I'm going to hit the sack.
