Not great news about the Quakes return to SJ (granted, this is off a rumor site):

The team will not be playing in Spartan Stadium, which opened in 1933, on the campus of San Jose State University.

…Instead it is very likely that the new, new Earthquakes will split their games for the next two seasons among Santa Clara University, Oakland and Sacramento.

Sacto? Yuck. I’m not driving that far for a game.

Remember a while back when I wrote about some good crack? Well, the crack keeps flowin, or is it tumbling?

A while back I had told Kevin and Lisa I’d cook for them (at their place) for their bdays – actually I think I said I’d cook two meals, one would be a curry dinner a la Brad, and the other would be whatever was good on the day they picked. So on Saturday, it was time to pay the piper.

Mmm, I love cookin’.

Some “arsonist” (or possibly some neon lights) burned the Burning Man a bit early. I know I shouldn’t offend all the neo-hippies nshit, but I couldn’t stop laughing when I read that in the news. more and even more.

I know some people who are way into BM. But when I see Marina chicks on the bus reading phamplets about “Attending Your First Burning Man” and are taking notes, it’s hard to think the $100+ event is “cool”. You know you jumped the shark long ago.

Two quotes from my friend Gazza. One of them came up on IM last night in a quick chat with Chuck . . . These are just the quotes, I’m too tired to type the full stories behind them

although he was talking about TV in Blighty, and I’m paraphrasing

Friday night television is your friend. It’s there for you. You’ve had a long week buddy, here are some good shows. But god forbid if you don’t go out on Saturday night- Saturday night TV is there to punish you.

While I hate “lists”, this is a good post: Thirteen Blog Clichés. I may be inspired to make some changes- especially as I do a lot of those 13 items.

Hrm, I was going to write about how I’ve been beta testing Sandy, but I re-read my email invite and it says to keep your moth shut about details for now.

I will say it’s pretty slick so far, but I’m not sending notes to my phone yet. Check it out though if you get the chance. It’s pretty intuitive if you’ve been using the same company’s site, Stikkit. It may find more use from me if I start sending messages to it from my phone.

Another reason that my dvd watching has slowed down a bit is due to watching more soccer. And I had a quick little thought while watching a pre-game and line up.

This is going to sound a bit mean, but one of the things I like about watching Beckham play for LA is that he took the captain’s armband from Landon Donovan. I like that.

My brother Adam sent this story to a mailing list we’re both on. I “lol’d” as the kids say.

Not sports related, but the story takes place in a Whataburger, so….

A sad DVD Roundup. . .

I just realized I hadn’t written about and dvd rentals recently- or at least, what amounts to my writing.

I just took a look at my rental history in Netflix and realized that I’ve slowed dramatically in my dvd viewing. I know I was busy with the move and some visitors, but not that busy. But I think I know what the main cause of the slowdown is– cable tv.

Here’s an interesting article about an award winning pizza maker who can’t have a wood-fired pizza oven due to the PRK’s anti-pollition laws.
