Area 51

Jeremy — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 05:48:06 +0000

Russell from work went to Las Vegas and Area 51 over the weekend. Area 51 is totally on my bucket list. I wanted to go on my honeymoon but I was nicely reminded Area 51 isn’t the most romantic of destinations. Thanks for the shotglass Russell! LOVE it…

A Geekified Christmas

I had to geekify Christina’s Christmas decorations tonight. One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong, can you tell which thing is not like the others…

Starbucks “Boss”

Jeremy — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 06:55:29 +0000

The Starbucks barista and I were having a good time the other day. He asked “how’s it going boss?” when I first walked up to place my order so I went with it when he asked for my name for the drink order. I’ve always wanted to say my name is Zeus for the places where they have to say your name over the loud speaker. Random I know and for some reason I have a feeling I would crack myself up more than anyone else which makes it all that more funny (to me at least).

Someone sent me a curse today via pinstruck.com. Interesting they didn’t go for vitals. I would have gone for vitals. I like my glasses! ;) To my voodoo secret admirer: let’s get coffee. Life is too short.

Ferrari Sighting

Christina and I were at Target this morning for some pillows for her new renter and I saw this sweet little thing in the parking lot. She didn’t seem to appreciate it as much as I did but I guess that is understandable.

Enounter With A Snake

Jeremy — Sun, 19 Jun 2011 03:59:20 +0000

OK it probably wasn’t deadly but we saw this on our walk tonight and luckily Christina had her iPhone on her. I’m not a huge snake fan, AKA, yeah I’m scared of them so I got as close as I felt comfortable…AKA…I got close enough that if it charged me I could run like crazy away from it safely. Risking my life for your blogging enjoyment people, that’s what I’m here for.

Tesla

Stealing Angels

Jeremy — Sat, 14 May 2011 15:25:41 +0000

For Mother’s Day my dad took my sister to a country concert (I forget who…not a country music fan) and Stealing Angels must have been a cover band also playing because my dad (far right) and sister (to his right) got a photo with them.

Creepy But Awesome Stage

Jeremy — Sun, 10 Apr 2011 15:56:11 +0000

Check out this incredible floating stage on Lake Constance in Bregenz, Austria. The Bregenzer Festspiele (Bregenz Festival) has become renowned for its unconventional staging of shows. Verdi’s opera, “A Masked Ball” in 1999, featured a giant book being read by a skeleton.
