Moving to Milwaukee, not Pluto

Headlines sometimes catch your eye. I think Nate and Todd and I will look into possibly relocating to Milwaukee. But will cancel our tour of the nine planets, because I guess one of them doesn't count any more, according to the best Oxymoron I have ever seen.

Milwaukee Is Named 'Drunkest City' Milwaukee has been ranked by Forbes.com as "America's Drunkest City" on a list of 35 major metropolitan areas ranked for their drinking habits.

Awesome. Just to be nominated would be an honor, but since Portland or Seattle weren't on there, we may have to move, as we just can't be that far away from drinking fame. I mean, shit, WAZZU was once ranked top party school by Playboy. I guess it's all downhill from there.

Astronomers Say Pluto Is Not a Planet Leading astronomers declared Thursday that Pluto is no longer a planet under historic new guidelines that downsize the solar system from nine planets to eight.

I'm sorry, but those two words are opposites, yet they describe the same thing. What the fuck? So the guidelines are like jello. Squishy Hard. That's like saying Antarctica doesn't count any more because not enough people live there. Fucking crazy scientists.

F-off, we're busy

Yeah, we haven't posted much lately (not so anyone really noticed) and this probably won't change much until next month.

Smooty just started a new job at Panasonic. Yeah, they may have given him 3 new flatscreen monitors and a laptop, but they also are making him build his own computers, and have him already working hard on the 2nd or 3rd day. Expect nothing from him for awhile (not even tons of useless emails like when he was at Shurgard).

Nate is busy like a fox at work, plus with fantasy sports coming up, 10-14 hour days, a new roommate in the pad meaning a move of the computer (but not the internet connection) to the other room, no time at work + no internet at home = not many posts.

Erik is remodeling the living room and Nate's old room (yeah he used to live with me, at least he was cleaner than Josh and Derick...) and moving the office in their, which means the office and dining room are full of furniture and boxes of crap. That plus being over 100% busy at work, helping Abby shopping for her first classroom teaching 3rd grade, and moving all the teaching crap we have accumulated since she went back for her masters in teaching 3 or 4 years ago, means I No Post Either.

But thanks for coming to see if have posted anything good. See the Jackmove clip below, and maybe I will get some more golf tourney updates on here after I fail to win another tournament this coming weekend...

Jackmove!

My roommate found this clip of the local kick-ass rock group Jackmove on Youtube.com yesterday and I thought I would share it with you. You may recall me mentioning Matt Jones of Jackmove fame on the blog here. I work with him and he just so happens to be the drummer for this here rock group. Check 'em out and let me know what you think. And if you get the chance to see them live you totally should. They will punch you in the stomach with their wall of sound that it'll knock the wind out of you.
