TGI....T?

It's Thursday but feeeels like Friday! w000t! have a great 3-day weekend everyone! If you're in Pittsburgh make sure to come down to the Hard Rock in Station Square on Sunday night for the iNSPiRAL show! Whatever you're up to, have a good time!


And, as always, drink responsibly...

Ross?

On Thursday night, my friend and college roomie Ash called and asked if I wanted to go to dinner "right now"...and (after checking with Mikey real quick) I said "of course!"

We went to Double-Wide Grill (Sounds real classy, I know, right?) they had "Trailer Park Trivia" and Mike got this "TV Dinner" that came on this crazy metal plate. We couldn't hear the trivia very well it was mostly current events, so if you don't watch the news, you're screwed. But, overall the food was really good (don't get the veggie medley, it sucks) and they had good beer specials, cornhole, etc. after 10.


The best part of the night however was one of Ash's friends looks like a certain paleontologist from a certain tv show called Friends, and I got a pic (or two) so I could share it with YOU!

Oh and as a side note (and just in case he comes across this some day) he is a very genuinely nice guy.

Oh hai!...Happy Monday

I saw these Chickens over on BB-Blog the other day and they made me giggle. The guy draws them on post-its and he's got over 850 of them!


For my guitar-hero-loving friends (rach, stace & mase)
Annnnnd for Monday....(Stace I think this one applies to you too)

I Never Could Get the Hang of Thursdays

Interesting day yesterday...work went fine...it wasn't until I left the office did things get a little crazy.

I don't know what you know about the Pittsburgh transit system, but just in case you're unfamiliar, if you get on the bus before 7 p.m. you pay when you get off and if you get on after 7 p.m. you pay when you get on, not difficult, but a little confusing at first. Anyway, I caught the 7:10 p.m. bus home annnnnd:

Bus driver: Pay before 7
Me: huh?
Bus driver: You pay before 7:00
Me: right
Bus driver: Right
Me: ummm
(we stare at each other or a moment...guy behind me pays...bus driver nods)
Me: ummm..okay.....
(I pay and look at my phone and it's like 7:07...whatevs...I felt stupie)

So that was fine...but just got me a bit confused...then I get home and go to walk inside...and I can't find my keys. I call Randie and she's still at work and my keys are on my desk. Great. So I've got about an hour to waste till Mike gets home to let me in. So I talked to about 5 peeps on the phone and took these lovely pics of our solar lights we put in last weekend and some flowers.

Mike stops home and lets me in but has to leave again to help a friend move some stuff. I get a call about 20 minutes later...HE locked the keys in the car. Sooooo my AAA membership got some use and everything was fine. I guess my absent mindedness is rubbing off on him! haha

::NERD ALERT::

A t-shirt that glows according to the strength of the wi-fi around....totes awesome...totes nerdy...totes love it.
Hmm...they have a sweet animated giff to show the shirt in action, but I can seem to pull it down and post it, it keeps coming across as a giff, but just a picture. Any suggestions? I always love learning something new. If I figure it out first I'll let you know.

(Wi-fi detector shirt: $29.99 via think geek. I've ordered from them before and everything was perfect!)

CAPS LOCK

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!

The Rather Difficult Font Game

I figured I'd pass along this font game, it's a bit tricky even if you know your fonts. I only got 24 out of 34, I thought I would do better, but it's been a very long day and I might have had a little too much caffeine this afternoon.

(Thanks Ted!)

Randomness of the Day

Ohhh the internet is so entertaining sometimes. Here's some of my favorites as of lately:

• You Have to Burn the Rope game, seriously less than 5 minutes of your time, stay for the music and I promise you'll smile. (via best.week.ever)
• Cats in Sinks...why DO they love it so much?
• Top 10 Sound Illusions. Must listen to with headphones. (I think the "virtual barbershop" is the best.)
• Some useful free vector art, 10 pages of it, and you don't have to sign up! Yay!
• The debate of why Chewbacca didn't get a medal at the end of A New Hope goes on. (via the.star.wars.blog)

No Turkey.

Ummm....I wasn't planning on it, whatever it is I am not supposed to do with the turkey and a shirt.

(I don't remember where I found this! Sooorrrrrry!)

Oh April Fools Day...

The internet really does make April Fools Day so much fun. You really can't believe anything you read that day and I really feel silly when I almost believe some of the stories. Here's a few of my favorite pranks from yesterday:

Brand New's "Ford Re-design"


Think Geek's "Catalog" full of absurd items like a usb pregnancy test and this sweet labyrinth lock maze.


Annnnnnd my favorite "Flying Penguins Found by BBC Program" on Nothing to do with Arbroath
