Sushi Night

sushi11Tonight my brother-in-law Jordan and his girlfriend came over. We made homemade sushi. I’m definitely a FAKE sushi-lover. I like California Roll and stuff that FOR SURE isn’t really sushi…I haven’t made anything ridiculous like “hamburger sushi” but I walk the line with teriyaki chicken sushi…

Anyway, it’s cool to step-outside of the casserole box and eat something cool @ home.

Here’s hoping I don’t wake up in the night with food poisoning…

No Diet Coke?

IMG00094-20100105-2026So I was out for lunch yesterday and asked for a Diet Coke.  The waitress had no clue what I meant.  I assumed it was a lanugage barrier thing…so I (like an idiot) phonetically pronounced…slowly…DIIIIEETTT COKKKEEE.

Still nothing.

Then one of the guys I’m travelling with says…”Oh, he means Coke light.”

3 minutes later…Coke Lite appeared.

Same great taste…Same zero calories…Different name.

I like it.

I’m Tired!

83824749_DetailSeriously! Between the days getting killer short and the craziness of December…my body is sending my smoke signals and I keep writing it IOU’s for when I can get some more sleep.

I always bug Hailey for wanting to go to bed @ 9pm. It feels weird. It feels like we’re old people. Plus, when I look on my twitter when I get up in the morning, I see all these people tweeting until like 2am. I was 5 hours into my sleep by then. Worst part…they were up @ 6:30 before me too. How can people live on that amount of sleep? I’m a 7-8 hour minimum guy. And even than…10 is my hot zone.

I might get a tanning bed so I can sleep and get sunlight all at the same time. Would definitely either be brilliant or ridiculously stupid. Then again, I may end up looking like this ====>>

Maybe I’ll pass on the fake ‘n bake for now….

Oh…it is ON!

rivalry-weekSo here’s the thing, my e-buddy (literally, we met online…but not in a creepy way) Matt Zook is the commissioner of a Fantasy Football league. I have blogged about said league before. I figured rather than just taking his money directly ($22 USD entry fee) I figured would at least humor him by taking part.

We both have decent teams. 2 tough losses for me put me back in the standings a place or too…but THIS week we face each other.

Ever so clever…I received a DM on twitter today from Mr. Zook issuing me a Gentleman’s challenge. You can read the actual challenge HERE (mind the grammatical errors and word-ie sentences as he is from America…)

I replied right away to the post so his readers could see that I was not backing down, but couldn’t resist re-posting. Loser has to either:

1) Move to the winner’s country for 1 year.

2) Record a video of the winner’s National Anthem being sung.

Well Matty…MLS has great listings…better get house hunting.

P.S. Please ignore that his Yahoo-Character looks 1million times cooler than mine…

This is what it was like when I tried to get Hailey’s attention, and met her older brother for the first time…

Enjoy.
