Xmas in Madison

Here’s what it’s like; go wild whazzmaster.com.  BTW– the main street depot makes some decent Old Fashioned’s.  Spacebee and I tied 2-2 in the World Series of Darts tonight.  The tiebreak comes in the near future.

Bloggy Picture Goodness

I’ve got my furniture, and now it’s TIME for PICTURES! Click here for the whole set (including sexy EGG shots).

Week’s End

Marshfield, WI (WP) — K-Car, Finny, and Lawman: the lives of every party. (Missing from frame: madddddddd, about to lunge in and join the layabout gadflys in their snoozin.)

My REAL Halloween Costume

WDYT?

Get Up, Get Up, Get Outta Here!

First off, while looking through Flickr I found this picture. Every time I look at it I laugh. Cuz it’s so funny.

So, the other night we threw a party in Mountain View at Anthony’s Pad. I got out of work at 4pm and Anthony and I headed straight for BevMo to take stock. We had a lot of requests for shit that was locked away behind glass, and the man helping us was silent right up until the point where I was grabbing fistfuls of cigars from the case and then turned around and asked him, “OK, can you open the Dom P cage for me?” His comment: “You guys should have some fun tonight.”

You should really click through to the Flickr set to see all the pictures, but long story short it was a fucking blast. Air Hockey was in full swing (and there are some sweet pictures of it in the set) and there were even bartender shot olympics. We played Guitar Hero early on and by then end I was wailing away in a desperate karaoke move. We had a 1/2 BBL of High Life for my homies, but I was Crown & Coke/Patron/Jager-Bombin it all night long. We also did the old “Everyone Drinks From The Dom Bottle” Trick that we pioneered at the bachelor party.

And CAL MADE IT! Awesome. He declared it Good and that it had an Old-school feel. I appreciates that.

Anyhoo, click through to see more pictures. There may even be a video of me singing a song floating around somewhere, but there was talk of “editing it down”.  Maybe it’ll submitted to American Idol. Say Lah vee, California. It was fun.

ROAD TRIP PICTO-TOUR

Just got myself one of these and then one of these for the trip back through the southwest. Also, I want to take pretty pictures of Madison icicles. Don’t want me to? BOOM. Sickness. I liked my friend’s Goldy Goldland Old-Timey pictures so much I wanted to be able to make my own. Don’t want me to? Again, BOOM.

Here’s the first picture off the new camera. It sucks, but I have time to get better. At work today we shot some coffee porn, so that’ll be up on Flickr later on.

It’s real, real simple whazzmaster.com: You invite me to a party. I sing. No more and no less. I’d prefer booze but I can likely make it without a hangover the next day. For a fee, I will wear a tie done up in double-windsor fashion and not shave the day before. And for an extra, extra fee I’ll bed the hostess. I’m taking reservations in the Greater Madison Area November 2nd through Xmas, 2006.

Some Pictures

I cajoled Tim into making the pictures he took at my birthday dinner public on Flickr. So now it’s PICTURE TIME!

Thanks for showing up, everyone.

Leslie and Neetha figure out numbers and checks. Zach drinks.

Tim and Jordan get their Think On.

And finally, a nice little picture from our director’s goings-away party yesterday: me taping the VP of Engineering for an interview.

Twenty Eight

Today unofficially kicks off the busiest October I’ve ever had. Birthday! Considering the rager we threw last year at the ol’ homestead tonight will be much more low key, and with any luck I won’t wake up in bed with Scott Fornier. At any rate, we’re going down to the Village Bistro on Santana Row for a small dinner that Judd put together. Afterwards, drinks? Maybe, that’s all I can say. I won’t have any pictures due to filthy thieves in Madison, Wisconsin, but maybe I can describe the night to you using a villanelle. Who knows? Spacebee told me she’d be hiding in a cake, so I’m on the lookout for cakes that are people-sized.
I’ve got some bites on the whazz machine, we’ll see where they lead.  I’ll snag the speakers out for you, scientist.

I also made a big pot of black beans and rice with chicken last night. I’ll be interested to see how it turned out.

There’s awesome pictures from the halloween party last weekend but due to the nature of some of them they are restricted to friends and family of Jordan. I’ll see if I can wrangle a few of them off his flickr page so I can show them here. CREATIVE COMMONS~!

Got a big karaoke outing planned in San Fran on Friday night. Are you down to ride, Cal?  FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY FRIDAY! Greg can come, too. Emile is also invited. I won’t even kid you about rolling snake eyes on the LSAT; I’ll serenade you with some R. Kelly ditty.
