Kidney Infections Suck, Ultimate, Applebee's, Jackass 2, P-town, Frisbee Golf

So I had my first beers in over two weeks last night. And they were delicious.
I am fully recovered from my kidney infection. Let me tell you that it was no fun. Easily one of the most painful things I have ever been through.
So after work I went and met Gus for a little Ultimate Frisbee. Also joining us was the Booths (Garrett & Irina) and Dez. As usual I pretty much dominated at Ultimate. There was a lot more people there than usual so we had to sub in and out. The first set of plays I caught a long pass for a touchdown and in my opinion I resembled a young Steve Largent. The second and third set of plays I tossed a couple of TDs. The other team never recovered, mostly from my stellar play but also because Seth Krause was on their team. He may be tall but I shut him down with my awesome defensive skills.
After Ultimate we decided some drinks and some grub was in order. Since we wanted to eat good in the neighborhood, we headed to Applebee’s. I ordered some mozzarella sticks and a bottle of Guinness. That beer was so good that I ordered two more. We had quite the group of people at Applebee’s and we were overflowing out of the large corner booth in the bar. Our group consisted of Dez & Erica, Garrett & Irina, Gus & Mrs. G-Dizzle (fo shizzle), my roomie Bish, Collin Booth, Jimmer, Jeffery D, Willie and BoPhal. About halfway through our meal a couple of girls came running into the bar screaming about a car that just hit ‘n ran a new Chevy Colorado out in the parking lot. Turns out it was Jimmer’s truck so we headed out to the parking lot to check the damage. I guess the car was parked in front of his truck and they must’ve put it into Drive instead of Reverse. We checked out the damage and were surprised to find nothing. Maybe just a small scratch on the license plate but that was it. I am convinced that Chevy trucks are the tougher than shit after seeing that.
After heading back inside I noticed it was quickly approaching 11. Since I have to get up at five in the morning for my wonderful job I decided to get my bill and head out. I was feeling pretty great until I got my bill and saw that my bottles of Guinness were over five bucks each. Ouch. Vegas prices and I don’t even get to gamble. So I have decided that next time I am gonna stick with the draft brewskis. But all in all it was a great night.
Tonight the same group is going to enjoy Jackass 2. Willie’s already seen it and said it was three times funnier than the original. I laughed so hard at the original that I pooped my pants a little bit. Seriously. We’re talking bowel movement here. It was sick. So who knows what’s in store for tonight but I’m guessing I will have a great story to tell.
On Saturday I am most likely gonna head down to Portland and visit E, double D, I, E and cause some serious trouble. We are gonna explore Portland during the day and most likely pick up a set of Frisbee Golf discs. After that we are going to get Tucker Max drunk. So that should be fun. If any of the readers out there are gonna be in P-town and want to meet up with us call Ed’s phone. His number is (503) LIL-COCK. Or (503) 545-2625. Hit us up and I’ll let you buy me some beers while I make off-color jokes and make you feel really uncomfortable.
Sunday we are going to head over to the site of the former Trojan Nuclear Power Plant and check out their newly installed Frisbee Golf Course. It’s supposed to be a nice day so we’ll probably have to bring a couple of cold beers with us. It should be a blast.

more football and videogames

Speaking of bowl games, I was just reminded of a little known fact last night by my dad. My great-great uncle (or something like that) played for the Huskies in the 1926 Rose Bowl. George Guttormsen was the Captain at QB and a Kicker (yeah, crazy), and held the record from 1926-1963 for the longest punt in the rosebowl (73 yards), which was broke in 63, and then again in 81, both also at 73 yards. He also scored "A few plays later Wilson caught a short pass for a crucial first down and then threw a 27-yard touchdown pass to quarterback George Guttormsen." ( husky bowl history )
They lost the game 19-20 to Alabama, and some attributed it to the 2 extra points that George missed in the game (according to the Pac 10 Football book my dad has). I couldn't find mention online of him missing those kicks, or of his record, but I did find that he scored a touchdown, and I like that version better.

But I attribute the loss to the fact that the Huskies sucked, have sucked, and still suck. But its cool to have a famous family member, even if no one knows he is famous, and even if he is a hucking fusky...

Another cool fact. my licence plate is 1926, but its Coug plates since the huskies suck. But its a cool coincidence to have the same number.

The Xbox360 rocks. And I am very excited for this new shooter to come out in a few months. Until then I have Dead Rising, where I get to kill zombies by the hundreds, so I got that going for me. Which is nice.

Call of Duty 3 is in the works. Halo 3 comes out next year. They announced that Halo Wars RTS game. I just got Lego Star Wars 2. If I had more time to play, I would be loving life with all these games and new technology.

wow, that's a short list

Washington State University Bowl Game History
Nice page, but short list. Here's to a bowl bid this year, and hopes that we can hold our own against USC this weekend. And by hold our own, I mean going to the bathroom multiple times while drinking our sorrows away. At least next weekend is Oregon State, so we get back on the W train.

reader contributions

Ryan, long time friend and reader of NOSE, has these little tidbits to contribute:
Something for the blog...
First,
TV geek Dustin Diamond can now take his place with Colin Farrell, Tommy Lee and Kid Rock as the star of his very own sex tape. Everyone who remembers Diamond as a lovable putz is in for a shock once they see a 40-minute video in which he engages in a kinky three-way with two women. We can't get too graphic here, but word is that the action includes some bodily functions and an act known as a "Dirty Sanchez."
The best part about the whole story above... its called, "Saved by the Smell."

Second, a real time strategy Halo game has been anounced for the 360. http://www.halowars.com/
Q: What is “Halo Wars”?
A: “Halo Wars” is the next big real-time strategy game from Ensemble Studios, creators of Age of Empires. Designed exclusively for the Xbox 360, “Halo Wars” allows you to take charge of the human UNSC armies and see the Halo universe from a totally new perspective.


Dicko

(As Ryan knows, I was addicted to these in college, and still occasionally geek out with them. I am a little excited to buy this game and put it on the shelf next to my other games I don't have time to play. For sure.)

low

man we suck. Todd still working, pretty much not posting anymore. Nate still hurting, kidney infections and related medicines are no fun. Erik still working and helping Abby with school. We are losing readers faster than....shit, I can't even think of something funny.

How about a depressing post instead. My last grandpa died yesterday. He had a stroke earlier in the week, and his heart and body just weren't strong enough, and he passed away. And to make it worse, today is my Mom and her sister's birthday. How do you say happy birthday when its not happy? Shit. Her mom and stepdad passed away a few years ago, my dad's dad passed away last year on his birthday, and now I am down to two grandmas. And to really cap it off and make it hit home, I hadn't been out to their cabin the last two summers, and I said I would try this year. And I didn't. And now I won't ever get that chance again, because he's not there and my grandma can't drive at night so will have to sell the place. Fuck, I hope no one comes in my office right now so I don't have to explain why I'm almost crying at work.

if you have any funny stuff like the email I just got with a bunch of funny dog costumes, feel free to send it on or leave the link in the comments. (I am totally dressing my black cat up like this dog, and then letting it outside halloween night)

Almost the weekend.

GO COUGS! Here's to another fun weekend of watching football. Make sure to get to http://www.capitalonebowl.com/ and vote for Butch. As of this post, he is only beating the stupid Terps mascot by a few thousand.



Sorry about your infection Nate. At least it's not in your happy place. I'll bring you the Tucker Max book so you have something to do when the crappy games are on.


I just saw an article in the daily news and another on yahoo about how the NFL thinks that we artificially pump noise over our speakers at Qwest field, and thats why have the reputation of being one of the loudest fan bases/stadiums in the country.
How loud do you fucking think it is going to be this weekend? I want to get a ticket just so I can go there and scream my fucking head off until I can't speak anymore, so I bet you the regular crazies are gonna be so loud that Eli starts to cry.


Another Moo tribute, in case those of you that didn't know him want to see what he looked like in his drywall eating prime.

Infected

So the doc just called and I have a kidney infection. Awesome!

Sicker Than Sick

So I just got back from the doctor's office for the little illness I've been battling. I started out like a flu so I thought I would just tough it out and get over it. That was last Tuesday.
So it went from flu symptons to terrible pain in my lower back right in the kidney area. I was snooping around WebMD a little and found this:

Kidney Stones Symptoms
Kidney stones may stay in the kidney or travel out of the body through the urinary tract—the tubes that connect the kidney to the bladder (ureters) and lead outside the body (urethra). Their movement may cause:
- No symptoms, if the stone is small enough. (not here, immense pain)
- Sudden, constant pain. Stones may cause intense pain in the back, side, abdomen, groin, or genitals. People who have had a kidney stone often describe the pain as "the worst pain I've ever had." (check, and my appendix just about ruptured on me years ago. this is ten times worse)
- Feeling sick to the stomach (nausea) and vomiting. (check, ugggh)
- Blood in the urine (hematuria), which can occur either with stones that stay in the kidney or with those that travel through the ureters. (nope, thank god that would've scared the shit out of me)
- Frequent and painful urination, which may occur when the stone is in the ureter or after the stone has left the bladder and is in the urethra. Painful urination may occur when a urinary tract infection is also present. (check on the frequent, not so much the painful)
- Fever. (check, at times)
- Loss of appetite. (check, haven't been hungry in four days)
- Diarrhea or constipation. (check, you don't want to know)
- Sweating a lot. (yeah and it's gross)
- Fatigue. (extreme fatigue, I actually fell asleep in between sweating a lot and fatigue)

So anyways, the doc checked me out and told me it's most likely muscle spasms. I wanted to laugh in his face but said "really?". So he gave me some muscle relaxers and a pain pill, took a urine test (he had cold hands) and said he would call me if anything is wrong.

So I should be hearing from him sometime tomorrow when my test hopefully comes back with just a kidney infection and not kidney stones. The symptoms are about the same but the stones are definitely more painful. Some have compared it to childbirth. So pray for me. Hopefully I will be back to full health soon.

"MOO 10/30/04 - 9/17/06"

http://www.myspace.com/gtfastback67
A quick little tribute to Garrett's best friend Moo who passed away this Sunday. Although this puppy picture doesn't do justice to the 50-100 lbs of stacked muscle and fat that this little guy became in his short 2 years, it shows you just how cute and loveable he was.

He was the kind of dog that made we wish for a dog instead of my cats dumb and dumber. He will be missed. Please visit Garrett's myspace site if you want to leave him a message and/or leave one here, as he will probably make it here later in the week to view them.

Random Shiite

So the life of n8 has been a hectic one as of late. Last weekend my former roommate Todd got married. Since I am great friends with him and his wife they asked me if I could housesit for them while they are on their honeymoon in Cancun. I told them that they should just send me to Cancun that way they wouldn't need a house-sitter. They didn't buy it. So I've been staying at their place which is kinda cool since I used to live here. I've had some time to chat with the neighbors who are the same ones since I've moved out.
Anyways, the reason they needed somebody to housesit was because of their cat and their two dogs. They have two pitbulls who are the sweetest dogs in the world. Well as long as they know you. As sweet as these two may be the don't really listen to me that well. It has been a very hectic week trying to control two dogs and their meals and bathroom breaks. There were a couple of accidents but nothing uncle n8 couldn't fix.
Until Wednesday. I got sick Wednesday. And I have no idea what the hell it is. It is now Saturday and somewhat lingering around but I am over the worst part of it. I have had the worst abdominal pain and a fever. And no I did not eat any bad spinach. So I didn't go to work on Thursday and instead spent the day in and out of conciousness while trying to control two dogs that were super excited because I was home. Better times have not been had (that was sarcasm Gus).
Also my buddy TJ (from the CCWA champion Suckerpunch Pirates) came back into town for big Sully's wedding. Since I've been house-sitting I haven't seen him much. It's looking like I will be making a trip to Sin City here in the near future to visit him and my sister.
And since I was camping on Labor Day, I didn't change the lineup for my fantasy baseball team. And it just so happened to be week one of the playoffs. With two of my pitchers on the DL (shit!) I was pretty much screwed. So I lost my playoff game and am now playing for the 5th spot in the league (out of 6 teams). My opponent is Crackerass-Cracker, which just so happens to be Erik's team. So us here at NOSE are gonna finish in the last two spots of the league. Awesome!
Well I need to sign off of here. I've got tons of chores to do today, including changing my oil, washing my car (inside & out; it's fucking filthy), going to the bank and making my car payment and all kinds of other good stuff. So I've got that going for me...

Branch in Seattle

Sorry, no posts for 4 days, cause as you can see in the prior post, its work, work, work for all of us. Todd has disappeared thanks to his new job, and Nate and I are throwing down 9-10 hour days every day, with not much time for relaxing or blogging.

But something that has to be mentioned, is the return of the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. Can I get a HELL YEAH!? (except for you Emily, your Steelers got their ring and now they are done...or are they?) Deion Branch is coming to Seattle and even though our offensive line is missing Hutch, I still think we are poised to get back into the playoffs, and dare I say it, even the superbowl. And there is no fucking way we could get screwed by the refs twice in a row, so we should have a legitimate chance. The reason? Quality players like Hasslebeck, Alexander, Strong, Jackson, Trufant (GO COUGS) and now Branch.

(from the daily news article): This is a man who, on the morning of Super Bowl XXXIX, got on the phone and called all his former coaches, from youth teams through college, to thank them for helping him reach this point. Then he went out and won the game's MVP award."I never forget the people who were there before I became the Deion Branch you see now," he said Tuesday, attired in a sharp suit and wearing a $39 million smile.

I can't wait for him to get set in our offense. We are gonna beat the shit out of Arizona this week.

OUTRAGE

So, here I sit, 7:15 on a Friday afternoon, approximately 11 hours and 15 minutes after I got to work, still fucking working because everyone else has the day off, or called in sick, or didn't show up, or just did nothing all day while I worked, so it left me and Phuong here to do everything.

The reason I bore you with my tired whining? BECAUSE MY COMPUTER JUST GAVE ME AN ERROR MESSAGE ON EXCEL AND CLOSED THE FILE WHILE I WAS TRYING TO PRINT MY VERY LAST PIECE OF WORK SO THAT I COULD GO HOME! But I'm not mad. I will enjoy working until 8, so I can put in 12 straight hours. Cause free overtime is my favorite. Especially when "we don't have any extra money to give you a raise again this year," is probably what I will hear. Fuck that shit.

Well at least I had lunch right? Yeah right, I ate chilli in the lunch room for 10 minutes at about 3:00 in between meetings with customers, because that is the first chance I had, and then went back to work. But there always is a bright side right? There was birthday cake and fruit for breakfast. Plus I got to leave for 30 minutes to go visit a customer, so I got that going for me. Plus I found a milky way in the freezer at work, and I fucking stole it and ate it in 2 bites. Cause that's how I roll. Bitch.

More great sites

So I was looking up Zach Galifianakis because I was still bummed I missed him and the other comedians at bumbershoot and I was avoiding going through more old paperwork in our office. And I found a great site. Comedy Central with free clips from stand up comedy. Fucking rad. Here you go. comedycentral.com/zach galifianakis

I also found a folder full of drink recepies, drinking games, and old jokes that I had printed out in college. A lot of them were here, http://www.webtender.com/, which is a great site, so here is the link so I can shred all these pages I will never look at again.

Then I added some more beer links to the left. Then before I shredded all these jokes, I went to the link where I got them. Although the page and some of the humor is a little outdated, there is some really funny stuff compiled here. ~vanhoose/humor, like this beauty.

Note: If you are easily offended, don't read. (to the tune of the Macarenna:)
Sitting in my house, and I know that I'm alona,
Feeling kinda horny, got a jingle in my bona.

Camping

So I spent my Labor Day weekend camping in Hood's Canal. For those of you who don't know where Hood's Canal is, it is on the Olympic peninsula in northern Washington state. My friend Garrett's grandparents built a cabin there and have a nice little camping spot off to the side.
Dez and I drove up Saturday morning, making stops in town for beer and gas. After about two and a half hours in the car we arrived. We were immediately greeted by Garrett and his wife Irina and some nice ice cold brews.
After setting up our tents we decided to go out and check the crab pots. I've got a keeper below and Garrett is fucking ecstatic. Look at the look on his face. It looks like me on Christmas 1985 when I opened up my Nintendo Entertainment System.
Here is that same crab getting the "official" measurements done. Way to be "Gary"!
Here is Dez, myself and Garrett looking tough with the two keepers we had out of the six crab pots. The next day Garrett, Dez, and Collin went out and got three more crabs. It was pretty much awesome.
As for the rest of the weekend, Collin, Erica and Eddie B. all showed up Saturday night and camped. Between the seven of us, we consumed three cases of Bud Light, two six-packs of Skinny Dip, a six-pack of Saison, a half gallon of Vodka, a fifth of Bourbon and two Olde English 40 ozs. (way to go Dez and Ed). Besides trying to pollute our livers, we went hiking at Fort Holden State Park near Port Townsend. We also tossed the frisbee around quite a bit. We would've played some wiffleball but I'm a dumbass and forgot to bring my wiffleball bat.
Sunday night Garrett got extremely wasted. Extremely. He kept fucking with Ed to the point he couldn't sleep, and somehow I woke up halfway in my tent and halfway out. WTF? I found out later that Garrett had pulled me out but I was in a very "relaxed" state at that time and there was no waking me.
All in all it was a great weekend. It was so nice to get out of town and relax. So how was your Labor Day?

Reason #3567 I <3 Youtube

Waddup peeps? Hope everybody had a great Labor Day weekend, I know I did. You will hear about my mis-adventures of last weekend at another time. But now I must share with you the most hilarious Youtube clip I have ever seen. Enjoy "Completely Uncalled For" by Barats and Bereta. It looks like they post all kinds of crazy skits that I will further explore at a later date.

I told you it was funny didn't I? Let me know what you think.

links

A few links to fun this weekend.
http://www.myspace.com/yellowcard
http://www.myspace.com/hawthorneheights
http://www.myspace.com/afi

I saw all three of these bands this weekend, and I was pretty impressed all the way around. Check it out.



This little girl is balancing on that ball, hula-hooping, and playing the violin. We also saw a young girl, probably about 10-12, playing the drums right along with some hard rock playing from a stereo, and it sounded like she was in the fucking band. Crazy good talent at bumbershoot, even just in the people playing for fun.


A picture for Williamson. He passed out in Mike D's garage friday night after he disappeared from the bars. Mike didn't even know Willie was at his house. Classic.



Hawthorne Heights setting up. This was the only good daytime shot I got.

Yellowcard had Boba Fett and some Stormtroopers come out on stage. Kind of geeky, which he admitted, until he said this..."Boba Fett just brought me a fucking beer. How many of you can say that?"


AFI fucking rocking out and going crazy screaming for minutes on end.

the weekend and reader contributions

So, out of all those choices, I sold Stacy's tickets, got absolutely tore-up Friday night for no good reason except that I had a ride to Seattle the next morning, and woke up to take furniture to my sister's new townhouse in Seattle. I went to Bumbershoot and saw Hawthorne Heights, Yellowcard, and AFI. 3 concerts on the mainstage that were pretty kickass, considering I am almost 30 (inside joke), plus lots of booths, performers, other stages, comedy, beer gardens...all for $30. Not bad. I think the only bad part was the cost of beers at a whopping $5 or $6 each. And the fact that I found out Zach Galifiankakis (from the movie Out Cold), David Cross, the Upright Citzens Brigade, and other comedians were at bumbershoot and I did not run back from the Funhouse (bar across the street with a great happy hour and jello shots) quick enough to catch Zach. I plan to go next year and get the schedule so I can plan my day out in between beers and waiting in lines for concerts. One beer garden had a concert stage right inside, so that was nice. Then I spent Sunday morning waiting for my ride and moving furniture at my sister's place until my ride showed up. (Thanks a bunch to Apul and Avish for the ride and for moving furniture with me. You guys rock. Go to Quizno's and buy a sandwhich from Avish if you get the chance. They are delish.)

Later, I will get some pictures, but for now until Nate posts about his weekend, you get some reader commentary, sent in by our very own Stacy.
"Matt Leinart is going to be a father. I'm devastated. He was on my 'list' and considering he lives in the vicinity (Phx), I was up to at least a 5% chance."
"You could also add a link to the ever popular www.mulletsgalore.com. If you haven't been there in awhile, it's worth a look. You have to look at the 'classifications' section. I think my favorite is the albinoinbredmullet - although they are all extremely hilarious."

TGIF

Thank G it is Friday. It has been such a long week at work. My co-worker Matt Jones (of Jackmove fame) took the week off for a little vacation action. That brilliant bastard took this week off and with the 3 day weekend he's getting an extra vacation day. He's so getting punched right in the ding-ding when he gets back to work it's not even funny.
So this week I have been doing my job plus all of Matt's shit. Plus having to deal with a certain very unpleasant "Associate" at one of the branches in Portland. So I am pumped for Labor Day weekend (read: uncle n8's getting wasted!).
I am heading outta town tomorrow morning for Hood's Canal for a little camping action. My buddy Garrett's family has a cabin right next to the water. His grandpa built the cabin a couple of years ago and he is nice enough to let us invade it for the weekend.
There will be tons of drinking, lots of gambling, some cussing and swearing, some time on the water crabbin and swimming if it's warm enough.
This may be the second consecutive weekend that I try to kill my liver. I've been thinking about it and me and my liver are now at war for the way he let me down last weekend. I mean seriously, two glasses of champagne in between a ton of beer and I end up with one of the worst hangovers ever. Quit being a pussy liver. Fuck.
If you haven't heard the Linkin Park and Jay-Z collaboration from about a year ago you should check it out. If you like either of the artists you'll dig the album. I just got it two weeks ago and have been listening to it on a pretty regular basis. Good Stuff.
Anyways, I don't really have anything else to say except that I miss you all. Really I do. I wish you could go camping with me but I just don't think our relationship is ready for that right now. Because when I get drunk I get a lil friendly if you know what I mean. And you don't want that (yes you do).
Have a great weekend my peeps.



frisbee

Playing ultimate frisbee kicks your ass when you start getting older. I think I pulled a hamstring, bruised my foot almost rolling my ankle, and bruised my elbow. And it's a no-contact sport. WTF?

Here is Gunnar and Nate warming up. There are no more pictures because I didn't have the lung power to spare to run over in between scores to grab the camera and take any more pictures. And I am pretty sure Nate felt like he was hit by a truck last week, so these pretend sports are really taking it out of us.

As for this weekend, it sounds like the plans are try to sell Stacy's tickets Friday, go to Seattle Friday or Saturday and watch the cougs and do some bumbershoot, and come back Sunday for some relaxing BBQ and working on the house. Thanks for none-of your help everyone.

Next weekend, Coug game on TV in Longview. Be there or be square.

busy weekends

So days during the week are still busier than imaginable. So lets talk about something more fun. Like having too many choices for a couple fun weekends coming up.

Labor Day Weekend. Should I:
  1. Take discounted tickets to Dave in the Gorge, even though no one wants to go with me, except my sister who can't go because she has to work?
  2. Go to Seattle Friday night, try to sell Stacy's Dave Mathews tickets for her, drink and help my sister move, go to Bumbershoot on Saturday, golf with Seth on Sunday, and go home and BBQ with Abby Sunday and Monday?
  3. Watch the Coug game on ESPN2 in Longview or Vancouver with Ronny and Abby and stay home and drink the rest of the weekend?
  4. Go camping with Nate all weekend?
  5. Go to Seattle Friday and Saturday, and then Lake Chelan with Willie and Bo Sunday and Monday?
  6. Go to Paulsbo with Shaun, and watch the Coug game at Dicko's or a bar in Seattle?
  7. Stay home and finish the office move and fixing the bathroom from the handyman's crappy job he did on the trim in there?

Next weekend. Should I?

  1. Go to Portland for Widmer Bros. Oktoberfest?
  2. Go to Seattle again for fun and frivolity and race home for tournament on Sunday?
  3. Watch the Coug Game vs. Idaho at home and actually make it to tourney?

The Next Weekend: Already decided. Go to Erin & Jess's wedding Friday, go to the Cougs game in Seattle Saturday, be hungover both days.

Really there is no downside. Having too many options is way better than having no options, and all of these options involve drinking, which is good. I just hate that feeling of knowing that if I don't have tons of fun, I'll feel like I am passing up tons of fun somewhere else. I'm not indecisive, it's just that my magic 8-ball said "Answer unclear, ask again later."
