Haha, found this on a t-shirt I got from a vendor last year at a tech conference. I am sure they work 99.9 percent of the time (get it, uptime guarantee…oh another pun!).

This photo was taken a few months ago at Red Lobster in Santa Maria. I thought it was odd that Red Lobster had a flag..then it really started bothering me…why is the flag at the same height as the California flag? I think that may be illegal, not sure. Perhaps Red Lobster is going to buy California soon and everyone will have to hold onto their lobsters! hahahaha.

Wow, it has been forever since I wrote on my blog. I think between work and my Facebook account, time just gets short. Last night I saw Flight of the Conchords at the Santa Barbara Bowl. They were AWESOME!!!! I have been to a bowl show in probably 10 years or so…wow what a difference! The bathrooms made me feel like I was in Vegas, nice areas to hang out, lots of food and beer options…much better stage and sound system. Very impressed. The SB Bowl is truly a treat to have in Santa Barbara!

Onwards to FOC…they simply are hilarious. Opening act was Arj Barker and he is very funny. Had jokes about Blue Shield, our bums, and then some more about our bums. Right after him FOC started, which was nice as the show started about 45 minutes later than ticket start time of 7 PM. Bret and Jemaine came out on stage in their robot suits and performed an awesome Too Many Dicks on the Dance Floor song that really set the standards high for the rest of the stage. the show only got better from there. Hurt Feelings was another delight, and who could forget Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros??? Not only are the songs funny, but so were the dialogue between the two…I was pretty much laughing the whole show. Somebody threw a rose on the show and they told them they prefer panties. Another highlight was during Sugalumps, Bret actually jumped off stage and moved his Sugalumps in front of an audience member. Security freaked out a bit…but FOC made fun of them as well!

Overall a great show and can’t wait for my next SB Bowl show… Snoop Dogg with the Blazed and Confused Tour!

SB Bowl, Nice!

Tonight I went to watch Tim and Patricia win the Territory Ahead tennis finals. It was a long journey form the beginning and they are now the champs. The best part is they have a lot of fun while playing. Congrats to the Hogans!

Very exciting day today, I ordered a treadmill (Sole F80) last week and it was delivered today! I have been working on making room for the beast all President’s Day weekend and cleared enough space out. The mat I ordered arrived last night and I set that up. I am hoping the mat will help reduce noice and also keep dust/debri out of the treadmill.

I am 100 percent I will use it, instead of having a piece of equipment that just sits there. I have been walking daily for about a year now and finally had enough of dealing with the homeless. Plus it will be nice when it rains or is cold and is much more efficient to fit in with my busy schedule.

This week’s episode of LOST was purely awesome!!! Love the time travelling aspect and seeing Jack’s dad come back was eerie. How the heck is he there? Also, John got the smack down! He was suppose to turn the donkey wheel, not Ben. Ben is always up to something and I believe he left the island on purpose….perhaps to come back as a savior.

in honor of the Orchid station, the Lostees left the fire scene of the Orb Station and went back to visit the orchid station. As John explored, he discovered something nobody has ever seen before, super sticky wrestlers!!!

Haha, the LOST action figures explored a whole new station last week….the ORB STATION!!! Tim really owned it on this one….he made the whole thing come to life.

The Orb Station is very mysterious and odd…definitely has to do with human evolution research. In their usual mode, Jack took to wanting to shoot Mr. Darwin and John really wanted to eat our lovely monkey friend. But towards the end, the monkey did something that made the lights go out and then the flames grew…

Came home today and Dad was super excited. He requested two voucher coupon things from our lovely government to help purchase the new digital converter boxes (DCB’s) and they arrived today. I still am not sure why we need them as we have the super deluxe package from Cox Communications, but none the less, Dad is happy. I think it is more out of principle that he beat the deadline and I am sure we will end up purchasing two of them just because we can. He was mentioning some sort of emergency setup so when the power goes out we can connect the DCB to his portable TV and then run that off of a battery operated power supply. This, I will have to take a picture of…perhaps we can put it all nicely in some kind of backpack system.

Today is like a holiday, it is super bowl day! Went over to the Webleys to partake in some super bowl action. Tried some washershoes (like horseshoes, but with giant washers)…I think Webley made it up but as with most games, I sucked badly at it. Had tons of food and lots of beer, highlighted food was cream cheese wontons…they were awesome! Of course the chicken wings were great too…two different sauces. Game was exciting at the end, 35 seconds to go and the Steeler’s got it back. Favorite commercial was the budweiser add where the clydesdale grabs a tree limb to show off as he was feeling a bit lonely when the dog got all of the attention. Also watched a commerical in 3D and wore some sporty Intel 3D glasses. Thanks to the Webleys for hosting the super bowl party!
