In which we discuss the names of future...
Me: No, we are not naming our future son, Mike, "The Situation."
Ryan: We could just use "The Situation" as his nickname, no matter what his real name is.
Me: It won't even make sense. This kid is what- 5 years away from being born- at the earliest? No one will even remember Jersey Shore in 5 years.
Ryan: In 5 years, they'll be on Jersey Shore: Season 6. I can't wait!
In which we reverse our roles...
[Background: I swore that Vinny was the one Danielle was stalking on Jersey Shore. So I bet Ryan as such when he swore it was Pauly D. Possibly shouldn't have done that since he was a die-hard Jersey Shore fan and I could barely tolerate the show. I know I know - I am pretty much alone in this loathing.]
Ryan: So, did you look up the answer.
Me: Ugh. Yes. You win. Sucks.
Ryan: Wow, that's pathetic. I beat you at reality tv show knowledge.
Ryan: You must be so embarrased.
Me: Please! It's not like you beat me at The Hills or Teen Mom. Jersey Shore is your thing
Ryan: But crappy reality shows are your thing. It's basically equivalent to you ever beating me with sports knowledge.
Me: I did! I told you last week that Peyton Manning won a superbowl and you didn't believe me.
Ryan: Hmm... point taken.

So here’s my tale of the day / week…
As you may have noticed, I’ve been pretty light on postings recently. I wasn’t going to post about what was going on originally, but since I use this place as sort of my online diary / documentary of my life… I figured it may help me a little to get it out there. So here we go.
Monday night I got news that my mother’s...
Weird Food McDonald's Sells Around The World →
jordanreid: Including McSpaghetti (Phillippines), Samurai Pork Burgers (Thailand), and seaweed-flavored fries (Japan).
AND…. Spam in Hawaii! Just a post for those of my friends that are in awe of (or disgusted by) the fact that I grew up in a place that covets the yummiest of luncheon meats.
LOST characters explain how to make a sandwich
(via carolinek:silverblue:aanyankah:emibpost:smooshybread)
Jack 1. Gather ingredients 2. Point gun at ingredients and shout “HOW DO I MAKE A SANDWICH OUT OF YOU?!?!?” 3. Breathe heavily through your nose as though you were about to hit ingredients 4. Give up and make the sandwich yourself, and eat it bitterly
Kate 1. Make separate sandwiches, one with peanut butter and one with jelly 2....
And that is why they pay me the big bucks!
For 2 weeks my team has been complaining that the new printer we got at work was already broken and they couldn’t fix it. So today when I went out to see them I gave it a try. 2 minutes later - problem solved. I have amazing prowessness (is that a word?). It involved removing a sticker and a candy wrapper from the inside of the printer. Don’t ask me what they’ve been doing...
Updated donation list and information: help for... →
topherchris: List of legit organizations taking donations online, thanks to SFGate.
I’m going to go off on a tangent for a second that’s not about Haiti… (so bare with me). Towards the end of last year I was pretty depressed just stemming from stress levels from work. Clearly there are many people that have way harder jobs than mine… I just don’t do stress very...
Watchthedailywhat:
This Is Funny, You Should Watch It of the Day: Twilight and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 — together at last…?
[g4tv.]
This was so awesome I watched it twice in a row.
“Big Bird was stoned 24/7. Think about it. He had an imaginary friend he called...”
– My ex-client. He gave me many words of wisdom during my time working with him but this was my favorite. It’s funny how some people impact your life and they’ll never know it. I was reminiscing about him with a colleague of mine and we were wondering what he’s been up.
Oh and if...
2009 - A Year of Eating in Review
A quick summary of noteworthy places eaten at this past year.
Tao; NYC; March 2009; Glad I got to see what all the fuss was about. The food was pretty amazing, but maybe not enough for me to care if I go again.
Buddakan; Atlantic City; March 2009; I kinda assumed this place was overrated and was pleasantly surprised to be proven wrong.
White House Sub Shop; Atlantic City; March 2009; Along...
Totally being judged by my vet (receptionist)......
Me: I'd like to make an appointment for my cat to get her annual rabies and distemper shots.
Vet Receptionist: Name of cat?
Me: Spam.
Me: No! Sushi. No!
Me: Oh my god, what is her name.......
Me: (Pause)
Me: OH! SOX! S-O-X.
Vet Receptionist: Hmm.
Me: Sorry, it's been a really long week.
Vet Receptionist: (disapprovingly) Mmmm hmmm.
“I don’t foresee a scenario in which millions of people that hope to...”
– White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.
Ahh…. sigh of relief.
Anonymous asked: Ryan wants to know why he has to ask you questions via blog instead of talking
Ask me anything →
I finally figured out what everyone has been talking about the last couple days regarding Tumblr’s new ask functionality. Yes, I’m a little slow on the uptake.
So go ahead, ask me anything.
And someday I’ll figure out how to add it directly as a sidebar or something, but baby steps, people, baby steps.
Update: click the title to ask a question, as apparently that wasn’t...
I broke my ass today
Okay, that may have been a slight exaggeration. But I did bruise a good portion of it today by falling down a flight of stairs and slamming into a door. I was sober.
Yet, I’m thinking this story would have been cooler if I had been drunk.
Cablevision replaces Food network and HGTV with... →
Well, Cablevision got one thing right. I would have been really pissed off at them over not airing Food Network if I wasn’t too busy laughing at the ridiculous statement they kept repeating over and over again.
In case you don’t want to click on the link to read or watch the statement, I’ll summarize it for you: They are wrong. We are right. We are awesome. They suck and are...
Discussing my sister's visit, or, why we'll stock...
Tiffi: It'll be great. I'll cook for you and Ryan every night.
Me: Really?! That'd be nice. You don't have to though.
Tiffi: No, it's good because you guys can be my guinea pigs.
Tiffi: I hope you don't get sick though.
Me: What?! Why? Does you're cooking usually make people sick?
Tiffi: Oh, you never know...
And the Idiot of the Day Award goes to...
Me! For about 3 weeks I’ve been complaining that my data service got turned off on my blackberry. But as I’ve been either out of the country (where my US-only plan won’t work) or on vacation (and it’s my work phone / email), I didn’t really care to follow up on it.
But it’s still been bothering me - one more thing that Sprint did to piss me off.
So today I...
MOCU-MENTARY: Time for Flying Spas, Clothing... →
I found this amazing piece of literary greatness while actually attempting to do real work. Super dorky disclosure, but I have Google Alerts set up for all my clients so I can stay in the loop on what’s going on. I know, I know - but chances are you don’t get to be an accountant unless you have many dorky tendencies.
Anyway, I was very intrigued when one of my clients triggered this...
Well, so far my productivity level as been pretty much nil for 2010 - in huge contrast to my resolutions for 2010.
So with that - I’ll reset my queue to start publishing some saved post drafts from 2009 until I finally do something in 2010 besides being lazy.
