 Too much (misc.)

December 12, 2006 at 3:29 pm  |  family, home, games, sports

It looks like Boby is coming to town!  Yeah!  And just in time to celebrate half way (20 weeks to go)!  The Scientist wants me to throw a party but I don’t really know how to do that.  So instead we’ll get some pizza, like we do most Fridays, and then have some virgin mixed drinks someplace (probably at home).

I’ve finished up my class this semester and now I have a lot more free time in the evenings.  I’m going to layout the potential built-in bookcase this week sometime…

I scored a goal last night.  It was a good one.  Most of the goals I’ve scored since I’ve started playing hockey have been less than pretty.  There have been a few wide open nets, a few hacks, a couple of ricochets, some tricklers and one that I really don’t know how got it… the goal claimed it went through the side of the net.  Anyway, this goal was not like that.  It started with a bad pass that I picked off at the blue line, I then stepped around the pass’s intended recipient, between two D and then put the puck in the net high stick side.  I felt like I actually earned the goal and didn’t just get lucky.  It’s a nice feeling.  Oh, and we won the game 4-3.  Which was also nice.
Still no Wii. Though I think Sunday maybe the day I get up really early and stand (sit) in line.  This thing tells me when stores are expecting shipments of Wiis, which is nice because the people who work at the stores tend to be clueless.

Lastly, I have been drinking too much coffee lately.  Not because I tired and need a pick-me-up, but because it is fucking cold at my work.  Any job I get better heat the place to something higher than 66 degrees.

  1. damn, 66 degrees would be .. uncomfortable. I keep my apartment at 68 and even then I have to jump around every few minutes to keep warm. Why don`t you drink something warm other than coffee? Like milk tea, or clam chowder?

    Your first paragraph confuses me.

  2. I try making tea every other day but there is usually a pot of coffee just sitting there, and it just easier… though it’s probably just habit. Also, when I get a cup of tea or cocoa I drink it in like 30 seconds, which scalds my lips and mouth, and leaves me cold a minute later. Then I “schweit”.

    My first paragraph says Toby is coming and our kid is half baked.

  6. We need to drop by your presents maybe we could swing by this weekend for a bit. Sorry no Zippy Monkey dolls.

    I like Toby’s new nickname.

    It seems like the Scientist only added a double set of appendages only last week. Pregnancy is a great spectator sport.

    I hate it when people younger than I am are retiring. That sucks. Especially when Dan is doing it.

    What’s with the little hairless dog? Don’t reply it is far to evident.

    I used to hate coffee, now I life on it. I was older then Zippy when I started to drink it every day.

    We used to have really crappy steam heat. It was so hot some days that we would open the windows when it was near zero degrees outside. The worse thing was you could never predict what climate you were going to have each day.

    I seem to have devolved to phrases and snippets.
    Every one do good.

  7. Wow… I think you may have gone insane. I will answer in list form.

    • The nickname actually came about in High School. One of his teachers brought in her kid, who really like Toby but was unable to say his name… hence Boby.
    • I’m not sure what you mean by the Scientist adding another set of appendages. It looks like she still has the 4.
    • I don’t think Dan is retired. He’s just not working a traditional job. You could do the same thing, but it’d probably be called consulting.
    • Chihuahuas get cold easily. I was complaining about being cold…
    • Coffee is good, but not good enough to drink black… weird-o.
    • They have steam heat at several of the buildings on campus, but I think they do a better job of regulating it.

  8. Wow, that sounded like a confused old-man rant.

  9. At least I have an excuse. Can’t remember what it is though.

    I am not sure what Dan is doing but its not consulting.

    Boby sort of fits but I had not heard that one before.

    Rant’s do seem to be a major theme of this blog.

    Went to the mountains yesterday. Went by people playing golf on December 16. I am confused and wished I was there.
