Hello My Name is Nate. And I Have an Addiction.

I have developed this new addiction from somewhere, and I dont know where. I have an addiction to buying bottles of wine.

I know this doesn't sound that weird, but I hardly ever drink wine. Yes I do like it, but I hardly ever drink it. Mainly because I am the only one in this house that drinks wine, if I wanted to open a bottle I would have to drink the whole thing. Not that that is a bad thing, but I find it hard to drink a whole bottle of wine by myself. I know I could put it in the fridge...but I would probably never get around to finishing it.

What to do......

$135 Million Awarded for Drunk Driver Accident

I just dont know about this one. I mean I feel sorry that the little kid got paralyzed, but $135 million....$75 million to Aramark just for serving this man alcohol...

I mean when people get killed, they usually get some where in the neighborhood of what, $10 - $30 million. I mean OJ only had to pay out $8.5 million to the Goldman Family...

Confirmed Premiere of The Family Guy

Sunday, May 1st 9/8c on FOX....

Damn. Seems to be a long way away for them to be doing these warm-up shows on Sundays. So be sure to set those Tivo/Cable/Satellite Timers, you really wont want to miss it.

If you can't wait that long for some laughter then make sure to read Get Fuzzy. It will put a good smile on your face until then.

Crazy Thought

Karen and I bought a new mattress over the weekend and it is extremely comfortable. Which reminded me about a thought I had before.....

Why can your bed be so uncomfortable when you are trying to go to sleep, you can be tossing and turning all night and never get comfortable. But when you wake up it dosen't matter which position your in, your bed is the most comfortable place you could be. I mean you could have your feet hanging over the edge of the bed, your pillow could be on the floor, and your significant other laying on top of you, and you wouldn't care because it would still be the most comfortable thing ever.

hhmmm...

My Lewis Black Rant

We have the strangest damn weather in the Northwest...On the 15th it was 32/29 in Portland, and on the 18th it was 64/55. We go from wearing mittens and butt pads to protect us from slipping on the ice, to walking around in t-shirts and no coats.

And what is it with all these damn rebates. I have about 9 just for buying a computer, totaling somewhere around $400. I finally get them all ready to go in the mail and I head down to the post office. I wanted to track them cause a few are worth quite a bit. Well to me it looked like I could track a parcel for $0.55, so I slapped a sticker on there. When I got to the counter the lady just about ripped my head off telling me I couldn't track a letter, just a parcel (which I quickly learned is at least 3/4 an inch thick). To track it, it would cost $4.30 because it had to go Priority Mail! So basically I could package it so its 3/4 and inch thick and mail it for like $2.50 or I can track my letter for $4.30...This is got to be one of the stupidest things I have heard! I thought my brain was going to explode out of my ears.

Okay that was my very poorly done Lewis Black rant impression, sorry you guys had to read it.

Odd....UW Engineering webpage

So as I was looking for some things to build...when I ran across this webpage on the University of Washington EE web page. Looks like a schematic to build a garage door opener that would open up just about any garage door. Seems to be the kind of schematic a school like UW would not want on their website....

8 Week Free Pass to Bally's

Okay so I saw the add about the National Body Challenge on the Discovery Channel and didn't believe it, but then Chris said his parents had signed up. So I looked into it. And loe and behold it was true. So Karen and I signed up for one, and I thought I would let other people know about it.
