The good luck was bound to run out…

1:26 pm on Mon, 28 Apr 2008 , , , ,

Here at the Slattery household, we can’t help but feel a tad blessed of late. Lots of good things have happened, from my game show appearance to The Woman’s growing belly. But we knew that something somewhat bad had to happen to slightly balance it out. And so, instead of telling you about the kitchen [...]

Links you might like

11:50 am on Thu, 24 Apr 2008 , , ,

I said I would do this last week, and yet here these links still have not been… linked?

Some kids made Transformer customs that really transform. I can confirm that the video is better than at least 95% of the movie. (thanks to kottke)
PHD Comics really nails the online profile picture options. That makes me laugh [...]

Grown-up decision time

4:28 pm on Thu, 17 Apr 2008 , ,

Hey, remember that TV show I was on? And I won a bunch of money? And I made a comment about remodeling our kitchen? You don’t? What the hell is wrong with you?!?!
For those of you paying attention, the comment about the kitchen wasn’t just me trying to get quality, non-dork, face time on TV. [...]

Only me…

1:03 am on Fri, 11 Apr 2008 , , , , , ,

I didn’t bring an extra battery with me for my camera. I forgot to check the charge on the battery that was already in my camera. That meant that I didn’t get to take many photos tonight. Where was I? At Maxwell’s watching motherf’ing Moby shred the stage apart. Me. The guy who carries over [...]

Training Diary: Day… something

4:07 pm on Wed, 9 Apr 2008 , , ,

Dear Diary… Haha, just kidding. It was fun writing a couple diary posts, but that joke could get old. But I have been keeping up with my biking for the most part. Not everyday, but at least every other day. As easy as it has always been to get back into biking shape, there is [...]

Friday Web Fun

4:00 pm on Fri, 4 Apr 2008 , ,

Even if dooce wasn’t such an enjoyable writer, the story of the raccoon in her chimney would be worth it just to see the photos. We’re talking a butt-first escape!
My favorite site for following the election is still electoral-vote.com. A good example why is this quote from last week:

In a nutshell, the Democrats believe the [...]

Training Diary: Day 2

2:44 pm on Thu, 3 Apr 2008 , , , ,

Dear Diary,
Why is it so cold in the morning? Even bundled up I got chilly and couldn’t feel my fingers. But I biked because its important. And you know what? I went almost 4 miles! Pretty soon, I’ll run out of fingers to count! It was fun, until that stupid hill. Why is that hill [...]

Training Diary: Day 1

6:56 pm on Wed, 2 Apr 2008 , , , ,

Dear Diary,
Today I took out my brand new bike for my first ride. It’s so pretty, I really, really like it a lot! It was so cold this morning, I almost frozed my fingers! But I rode anyway. I went all the way down this big hill. And then I went all the way back [...]

Ah, my beefy temptress

1:24 am , , , ,

The seed was planted in my mind a couple weeks ago. While waiting around for some techs at one of our facilities, someone walked in with a bag of Mickey D’s for lunch. Now I’ve gone from eating fast food on a semi-regular basis to not even having stepped foot in a McDonald’s in at [...]

Movie overload

11:30 am on Tue, 1 Apr 2008 , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Holy cow have we watched a lot of movies lately. I’ve been meaning to write a bunch of mini-reviews, but each time I get around to it we watch something else. Let’s see if I can do a decent rundown of the latest ones:
Knocked Up – Very delayed in writing about this one, but Apatow [...]
