I was in Seattle over the weekend for the Grand Prix. While the tourney was nothing special for me (or really any of my close friends, grats to Shapiro and Gau on top 64 finishes) there were a couple fun/funny/aweful events that I should tell the story of.
( Seattle... ) |

I love technology can you imagine your parents work day 20 years ago being anything like this:
Today at work, I've talked a little Magic with people that are in Germany, Singapore, and Indiana (not to mention Madison). I've fixed issues with clients in at least 7 different states, and remoted into their actual desktop to do so. I've seen my buddy Josh sign on and off of AIM at least a dozen times as he has the laptop at bedside with his wife as she is getting labor induced today for their first kid. Before the end of the day I expect to have booked hotels for two weeks from now for the indy 5k/ptq weekend and look up some information on Vegas Rio for my vacation there in a month.
Sometimes it's pretty cool to be living these days....now if only they could get on transporter tech :) |

| Why Kate wins |

Yesterday we head out to Angie's suprise b-day party, which goes well...let me tell you if you want to suprise someone and have their face light up she's the girl to throw parties for :). We bug out to get back to my house to do some playtesting. Dan howard and BK beat us there.
/sappy on
We get home, Kate organizes the "shoes area", then takes drink orders for the me and guys, starts boiling water for BK to eat some pasta. She then heads outside to shovel the sidewalk/driveway. After that she comes back in and finishes making BK food. She then tells me she's happy my friends are over, and to have fun testing...goes and hangs out on the couch for the rest of the evening till 11:30 when Dan leaves and we head to bed.
This morning she wakes up with me...she doesn't have to work today, so she can go scrape off my car, and shovel any snow that's fallen since last night.
I know it's all little stuff, but it all makes me feel happy and lucky.
//sappy off
Additionally I really like the deck BK and I worked up at the end of the evening. |

| Rake my lawn! |
[Nov. 10th, 2008|08:08 am] |
....Anyone have a kid/nephew/themselves that wants to come rake my lawn? It's not giant or anything, but the leaves have finally pretty much fell to the ground and I am going to be gone the next several weeks out of town, that combined with the fact by the time I'm done with work it's dark makes it pretty hard for me to find the time in the next few weeks, and I'm worried that it won't get done before they stop picking up leaves or snow falls for real.
Anyhow... $30 to anyone that wants it, I have a rake, and all that needs to happen is the leaves end up on the curb, don't even need to be in bags or anything. |

| Colin Powell on Obama |

I know it was news over the weekend, but I wasn't around, and it's better to listen to a man that is so well respected, well spoken and someone that was central in the republican party talk about Obama. It's 7 minutes of your life that I recommend watching. |

| Berlin or why my dad is awesome! |
[Jul. 10th, 2008|08:29 am] |
So after I top 8'd the GP I started to consider going to Berlin. I talked to my parents and let them know I was thinking about going, they encouraged me to look into it and at least get the passport rolling. Kate and I started looking at it, and my Mom told me to remember that dad could help out with frequent flier miles. So Kate found some flight info and options for travel and I passed them on to my dad expecting to get some reduced cost tickets....FREE is a reduced cost right? Kate and I are flying to Berlin for free! :) So excited. Dad is awesome! Now I get to start looking into costs for hotels, and stuff to do for the couple days that I won't be Pro Touring.
In short W00T! |

....my money back.
What a worthless pile of style. Outside of Angelina's ass this movie was just aweful. The action sequences looked good, but were beyond unbelieveable, and the plot is just asstacular.
I really can't say enough terrible things about this, but needless to say i can't recommend you seeing it.
Also if you think this is just me being my usual picky movie self, please note that Kate also thought it was terrible(she says Jurassic Park 3 terrible).
Yuck... |

| Top 8 ! |
[Jun. 23rd, 2008|09:02 am] |
So I top 8'd Grand Prix Indy over the weekend. Here's the link to their coverage: http://www.wizards.com/default.asp?x=mtgevent/gpind08/welcome
They dont' have decklist or profile for me up yet, but we'll see if they fix that.
I drove down with Dan Howard, his brother Nathan, Jasper, and Danner. It was fun group of people to go anywhere with, I'd totally roadtrip again.
So $1500 and que'd for Berlin. I want to go to Berlin, I just have ot figure out if I can afford it. Kate would like to go as well. I think how I do at Nat's will cement it, but right now I'm leaning 70/30 towards going.
Got home about 1:15 and came into work today...save the day off so Berlin is a better possibility. |
