Bag of Randomness

  • I’ve had an upper-respiratory illness for the last week and haven’t shaved.  There’s nothing like a good shave to make you feel better.
  • For a little over two years, we’ve had a friend living with us in GeedingManor.  This person moved out over the weekend, and we are adjusting to the extra space.  We were so use to having this person around, the house now seems unbalanced.
  • I’ve always wanted to attend a University of Texas home football game and had decent tickets to the Thanksgiving night game against TCU, but with the game being on Thanksgiving and trying to figure out what to do with the kids and dogs, I’m going to have to find another home game to attend.
  • The only Texas game I’ve been to was Ricky William’s last game, the Cotton Bowl on New Year’s day of 1999.  And my goodness, Prince’s song “1999” was way overplayed during that time period.
  • There’s a family story of my father and brother touring the UT campus and getting lost in the athletic complex only to run into Fred Akers (head coach at the time) in his office and him giving them directions.  But then again, my memory is pretty foggy.
  • When I send a text or an email in which I expect a response and I don’t get one, I start to freak out thinking I’ve done something to upset the person and they’ve cut me off.
  • With the election now over, former campaign staffers lips are loosening.  Here’s an interesting read about some behind the scenes stuff.  And here’s another that goes into greater detail.  Last year Newsweek released what was basically a mini-book about the behind the scenes of both campaigns, I wonder if that will happen this year.
  • A water cannon robot that patrols your yard
  • It’s a waste of water, but I like to shower at night so I feel clean going to bed, and I like to shower in the morning to wash the sleep off.
  • I’m the kind of guy that makes sure that last square of toilet paper that is held on by super glue is used and accounted for.
  • Businessweek actually asked the question Which business school has the most attractive female students?
  • I bought our Thanksgiving turkey yesterday.  Last year I fried the turkey, and the year before I brined it.  I think this year I’m just going to go back to putting a mixture of butter and seasoning between the skin and meat.
  • The check engine light was on for a few days but has mysteriously disappeared.  I’m sure it will be back, just in time for Christmas.
  • Speaking of cars and Christmas, Lexus seems to be falling behind in the Chirstmas commercials to Mercedes.  It’s usually Lexus that makes me think the only perfect gift is a new car with a big red bow, but then again, it’s not even Thanksgiving.
  • NJ Man Powers Home with Hybrid Car During Blackout
  • Tesla Model S – Motor Trend Car of the Year
  • Amazon picks its 10 best books of 2012
  • A description of the greatest sound ever
  • ESPN just isn’t what it use to be
  • Oxford Dictionaries’ Word of the Year Is – and in case you are wondering, it’s pronounced like a certain brand of peanut butter.

    Try using an injector on your turkey. The Tony Cashere's garlic and butter is good stuff.

    If your check engine light came on, your computer threw a fault code. Autozone will read your diagnostic codes for free if your a DIY kinda guy.

    Check engine light – Check your gas cap, specifically look for any cracks in the gasket.

    I am pretty sure that there are boarders that would take the dogs for an extra 10 dollars or so for a holiday fee.

    If you have those TCU-UT tickets, let's make a deal….
