Nerd Friday: sleeping dogs edition

sabs — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 17:45:10 PST

Scottel and jet are in town for c&j's wedding, and we planned a day of relaxed debauchery to kick off the weekend. The rain threw a wrench in our plans, but I think that was okay with my house guests (both whom are cozy and napping).

Ps. We're supposed to meet up with Randall's crew for hijinx tonight. I am wondering if we'll make it.

Three years or 11 depending on your math

Today was one of the most productive days ever known to man (no seriously I did like 8 errands and 5 big chores including finding time to make a batch of pickles). It was also our third anniversary. Randall and I got married three years ago and have been together over 11. I can't believe I'm old enough to have been with someone that long. He's the absolute best and every year is a new ridiculous adventure. Tonight we had dinner at sons and daughters (btw I think it is my new favorite restaurant) and we still managed to strike up new and unheard conversation. I love that. In fact I super love that and I hope it happens for another 11 x 3 years and then some.

Happy anniversary dopey!

Farewell to wands

sabs — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 02:40:07 PDT

I know, I am too old to go to a midnight screening and I am especially too old to dress up in funny robes with homemade wands and go to a midnight screening, and yet here I am. Luckily I am not alone, nerd Julie joined me in the shenanigans. She is the best and even brought us snuggie robes while I crafted us some wands. This picture of her is the best. I can't stop laughing!

Ps. Title courtesy of Julie!

Pps. Started off the night with a madewell launch party. No magic there, but fun anyway.

Pretend monster

This one is for Erin who is celebrating ladygagamas (like Christmas but for lady gaga fans). We hung out a bunch today (lunch, coffee, and a sweet ride home) and Erin tried to school me on lady gaga. I didn't really work, but i was inspired to play makeup artist. For the record, I don't have much of an opinion on gaga. I think her outfits and makeup are fun, but her music doesn't do anything for me. But then, did you expect it to? You know I'm too snobby for pop music.

learning the blanket technique

sabs — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:27:15 PST

tonight's NERT class was all about search and rescue. we learned how to identify how heavily damaged a building might be, whether or not it was searched, and how to get people out of the building if it's unsafe. one of these techniques is the blank technique. essentially, you get the blanket under them, and then lift them out to safety. but what if you can't lift them? well then you just drag.

me and the worker bee

sabs — Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:17:25 PST

ladies and gentlemen, much to my chagrin, the house husband days are over. randall is back on the worker bee train. i thought i'd let you know just in case the stripes, wings and antennae didn't give it away.

and while losing the house husband is a bit sad, not feeling guilty when we go out for sushi dinner (which we did tonight nom nom!) is sort of worth it.

annie get your gun.

a few months ago my pal scottel and i started a dueling photo blog based on vocabulary words. the concept is simple, we take the vocab words of the day, and we take pictures of them. this week is a bit challenging in that the words are actually names. this is an outtake of what i'm posting tomorrow. if you want to know the word, you'll just have to check it out in the morning.

ps. if you missed it, the improv video i tried to upload yesterday, fear not, the technical glitch was corrected and you can now watch and mock all you want.

wednesday nights are the best (now with video)

sabs — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 23:55:36 PST

this is probably a bad idea, but it seems like genius right now. genius.

you see, this evening i headed over to anneh's house for our usual top model mockery, but this time instead of doing a photo shoot, anneh had the brilliant idea of making a movie instead. thus we ended up condensing tonight's episode into a 2minute piece of art.

ps. there are SPOILERZ.

pps. for the record, we had it ready on time, it just took forever to upload.

i've got a secret

sabs — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 21:53:57 PST

this evening randall and i went to the secret sherry society's event at swig. free sherry drinks and snacks, and lots of ol' timey aesthetics. everyone was invited to put their secrets on slips of paper and then throw the secrets into an urn. a couple of graphic designers then took the slips and made postcards out of them. all of this for some sherry. i'm not even totally sure if it was a general enthusiasts event, or a marketing event disguised as one. i mean i'm sure it was a marketing thing, but it was more fun and hip that i'm willing to pretend it wasn't.

it's a me nerd friday!

As Chris demonstrated, the mario hat arrived a few days too late for Halloween hijinx. I didn't even know it was on its way. Randal is a super nerd (as is Chris) and so stuff like this just shows up at our door. i don't mind though, it's a fun and gives me an excuse for a hair mustache, and that is always awesome. so happy nerd friday folks!
