Just Throw a Brick

Hey, look, a picture of K talking about what she likes about sports! Whoops, looks like I put up a picture of Rory and Lorelei instead. My bad. Anyway, below are our various sportsball stories from the last couple months. Football You guys all know I went to a nerd high school, right? Well, I did. I got my Associates degree at the same time as my HS diploma, thanks to this school. As a trade-off, my school didn't have organized arts or sports of any kind. I didn't really care that much about sports, so it didn't bother me at all (although not having a choir was sad.) However, all my people that went to the regular public high school would post on FB about the games they were going to, and again, I didn't care. I always figured I'd hit an AF High game eventually (maybe?) I did not plan on it being in Illinois. Well, life is full of surprises. Many happy things happened this day (Unfortunately, AF winning was not one of them.) 1. Popcorn was only a do...

Hey, people. My week, in a picture. Peruse below. Happy -Went to a White Sox game last Friday. That deserves a post in and of itself due to the intense nature of the game. Two words: Superhero Night. Get excited. -Me and C have already pretty much decided on our Halloween costumes (which is dumb, because we're adults, and we have nothing to dress up for, but whatever.) We'll see if we act on our ideas but at least we have an idea... We've never dressed up since we've been married. But then again, ever since my college years I've never really been into the whole dressing up deal (with the exception of junior year, where I wore a tattoo sleeve to class/work all day and painted my nails black. That was awesome. Oh, and I was a Nerd Herder sophomore year. That costume was awesome. I can't find the tie to wear it again though :( I'm just hoping that this "costume" isn't too "casual" for work. And if so TOO BAD, IT'S HAL...

Hey people! Since my afternoon boss resigned and no longer works in my office, I'm all alone in a big office all afternoon long. I try to fill the silence with music, but sometimes when I'm just bored of Spotify I try podcasts. I'm currently in the search for a new podcast to listen to. I've tried "Stuff You Should Know", and while it's okay, I get bored of their voices, and sometimes the "stuff you should know" is just flat-out not interesting. Today I'm trying "Call Your Girlfriend", and while it does have that best-friends-hanging-out-over-the-phone vibe, they're incredibly liberal and I'm not really sure it's for me. But I do enjoy when they talk about things that *aren't* politics. So, we'll see. C listens to "Nightside" on KSL radio, and they can be okay, but I get tired of their voices too. So, this paragraph was to tell you I still haven't found a podcast that I like, and I'm open to s...

One of the first casual questions people ask when they get to meet you out here is "Cubs or Sox?" I can wholeheartedly say I am a Cubs fan, because of three reasons: The Cubs haven't been in a World Series since 1945, and you all know I'm a sucker for a losing squad. Dang my empathetic-ness. (Unless it comes to Utah, and then it's DIE LOSERS DIE) Wrigley Field is, in my opinion, way cooler. I mean, I've never been to the White Sox field. But Wrigley has ivy growing on the walls. That's awesome.  The color palette/branding of the Cubs is highly superior to the White Sox. I mean, look at this:  Option #1 Versus this:  Option #2 I mean, come on. One, or two. One... or two.  Anyway. So one of the things I wanted to before I left this crappy place we call home for the next year was make sure we hit a Cubs game. And a couple weeks ago, we did!  Wrigley Field Where the rich people sit Where we sat Cool, no? Prepare for pictu...
