Awkward

Went to the Creighton vs. UNL Basketball game the other night (fab game in case you missed it) and the guy next to Terry un-latches his belt, I guess in an effort to either loosen or tighten it....an action to which Terry responded with, "That isn't something you want to see."

Precisely.

Tip - if you belt is too tight or too lose, please find a discrete way to adjust it.

Sims

As I finally sit on Thanksgiving eve, pumpkin pie cooling in the kitchen, broccoli salad ready to be eaten, I decide to play Sims Bustin' Out (yes I'm fully aware I'm about 10 years behind on catching the Sims bus).......after playing the game for an hour or so I truly can't decide if I love or hate the game.

I love it because not only do I get to be in total control of someone (which, let's face it, is my big dream), I get to be in total control of a dumb, white-trash chick hand model. I love it because it makes me realize that life could be worse.....my name could actually be Wendy, I could trot around town in a halter top on a scooter and I could be living with a jobless, idiot of a roommate named Mimi.

I hate it because instead of living a life - I'm watching a life being lived. I hate it because for some stupid reason it takes Wendy two hours to take a bath and get dressed. I hate it because I lose complete track of time when playing - when on the game it has been three days.....I feel like I've been playing for 30 minutes…..yet somehow close to two hours has passed....

I both love and hate it because I have found that I am fully capable of playing it with no effort lying on the couch after a few glasses of wine.

I can see why people become addicted to this game.......but, I think in the end, I will choose to actually go visit friends, go shopping and show up for my job instead of living vicariously through "Wendy" - after all I'm in control.

Big Toys





The street outside of my house was closed for 24 hours so they could set-up this huge-ass crane....they were doing something to the Nelnet building. I think it took them longer to disassemble the crane than anything they did to the building.

A Little Creepy




Nothing like a photo of Jason A. and Kevin B. starring at you in the bathroom. Ruby Tuesday's is awesome!

Classy


Went to CA again....somehow got the handicapped room, hence the fancy toilet.

Weird Crap


This was outside of the "trash room" door. I'm not sure if those are pickles or not....but I didn't want to get close enough to find out.
