Weird stuff Megan says #1

While holding a big coffee mug.

"Ready, here we go, watch!"

Chugs half a glass of Metamucil

"I had to stop, I don't want the fiber to expand in my throat and choke me"

Finishes glass of Metamucil

"Do you think that by tomorrow morning I'll have the best poo ever?"

Exchange of the day

Midnight after the fantasy football draft, following a semi-intoxicated trip to Burger King.

Megan: Warren, what's on your foot?

Warren: I think it's part of a whopper.

Megan: Oh

Warren: Yeah

One down, many more to go.

One year Megs. Who would have thought. No matter what happens, you're always going to be my June Carter. I've never loved any one, the way I love you. You're my soul mate, my best friend and a deeply loved member of my family.

You Don't Say

I can't sleep. So I decided to dig through years of old stuff on my 80 gig iPod. I ran across a cache of old episodes of "This American Life".  My favorite radio program ever. There were hundreds of episodes. Only one of which I haven't heard.  So I listened. 

The episode was called "Nice Work if You Can Get it." 

The prologue was about astronauts.  Tap dancing amazing. I learned the following things about astronauts.

-There are about 95 active astronauts. NASA averages about one space mission per year. This means most astronauts will never go into space, but...

-Your business card actually says "Astronaut"  and that is the most bad ass thing I have ever heard. 

-They go to work everyday, in Houston. 9am till 5pm. 

-They spend most of their time in conference rooms.

-They practice flying a real jet, once a week.

-Like all federal government employees, they are required to fill out a travel voucher after every work trip. Including a shuttle mission. The travel voucher, after a shuttle mission, authorizes them to travel from the Johnson Space Center in Houston to the Kennedy Space Center in Florida to near earth orbit and return. Maybe that is the most bad ass thing ever. 

Cool thing from Minnesota

The Minnesota Public Radio station in the Twin Cities has this super awesome Youtube channel that I've been watching a lot lately. Tons of great bands do live performances in the studio and they post all the videos on Youtube.  Check it out.

I really like the performances from Andrew Bird and Low. Also since Andrea isn't touring with The Clumsy Lovers anymore, I think I found a new violin playing girl to have a crush on.

Shannon Fird from Cloud Cult. Observe.

Beware!

Keep your eyes peeled for The Idaho Statesman business section. Patrick and I spent two days with Chris Butler, writer/rad photographer, shooting pictures, interviewing and drinking coffee. 

Sometime in the next week or so you'll be able to read all about it. He even shot video of us with this cool "clamp my camera to random stuff" deal. 

Breathing Easier

It seems that I spend a lot of time going through boxes. I guess that's the down side of having no real home for a couple of years.

 

Trying to find things, putting things away, getting rid of the mass of crap I've accumulated over the years. Well I laid into it today. Everything that pissed me off, reminded me of of something shitty, I just just straight up trashed it. It felt amazing. I almost got carried away, maybe I did get a little carried away. Still it was great.

It felt so good, I just kept on going. Blackberry, Google contacts, everything. Friends, I advise you to do the same. Tie that lame horse to a tree and shoot it in the head. (Johnny Drunk and Gone, I'm looking in your direction). 

On the upside, I am beside myself about springtime. It's been amazing riding my bike around, eating outside, everything. I spent some time helping Dad clean the pool and getting it ready for summer. We'll be ready soon. Dad had to spend a night in the hospital getting his back fixed, that will hold us up for a bit.  The weather bunny informed me that the forces of nature will further delay us. Oh well, we will be grilling and swimming soon enough.
