Yay! And since I’m being political, watch this awesome video about the scandalous attorney firings, pointed out to me by Lauren.
Went to the REI flagship store in Seattle over the weekend, which happened to be during their anniversary sale. The place has a waterfall, bike and hiking demo trails and a huge rockclimbing wall. It was glorious. I bought the Solomon Techamphibian water shoes in camo using my $40 gift card, given to me when signing up for the REI Visa card. That, combined with the 20% anniversary sale discount and another 10% or so back in dividends made them way affordable. And I’ll look like a badass hiking Mt Fuji.
DMA, the Direct Marketing Association, provides a way for consumers to put themselves on a “Do Not Junk Mail” list. It’ll only stop the mail sent to you from DMA members, but it’s a start. You can also opt-out of pre-screened credit offers.
Possibly the best thing to happen to man (since sliced bread and legos) is Guitar Hero II, the new Xbox 360 game. My roommate and I have been rocking out for a week straight since it came in the mail last week. Granted, we’re no good on hard-mode yet (especially when intoxicated), but it’s only a matter of time. Pictures of us rocking out hopefully to follow shortly.
Ever watch this show on Discovery Channel? Simply incredible! Eating live fish right out of a stream, starting fires with his bare hands, building a raft to escape a deserted island; it’s all part of a day’s work for Bear Grylls. Yes, his name is Bear.
Watching reminds me why I need to take advantage of my weekends and time off. I miss the outdoors, which is why I went bike shopping today. I’m also planning to hike 220 continuous miles this August on the John Muir trail, ending at the peak of Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the lower 48 states. Want to join me?
I’ve been reading some Dilbert Blog lately. I think Scott Adams and I would get along. Like me he’s mostly silly and gets caught saying dumb things. He also likes windmills. Most of his critics are way high-strung and have too much time on their hands. Don’t read the comments, if you know what’s good for you.
