The Weather Girl is a LIAR! I did not give up on my blog. I just forgot that it existed. Sorry.
I think her stories are too personal. She should talk less about herself and more about me and the cool things I do at work.
Happy Saturday to you - enjoy it well.

What does "Movin' my hips like yeah" mean? Does anyone know?
These sunny skies are making me feel positive about the world. I am happy and whistling. You know, I think whistling is an art form that people don't appreciate enough. Can you whistle? No? Not very well? Well, close by, I'm sure there's someone that's really good at it. And you should give them a chance to express their ability.
What happened here?

This is pretty much the coolest thing I've seen in a week. My favorite part is at the end when they say "And all people."
If only we had a Red House in Greater Lafayette.

Boom, baby! We're on our way to the Super Bowl!!

So before I knew it, it was Friday. This blog thing completely slipped my mind, but it's back there now, so expect updates every day again.
Yesterday was 100% nasty outside. Rainy, freezing rainy, just ugly. I'm not a super lover of the sun exactly, but I am finding myself yearning for it. I hope it comes around soon.
I heard a joke from a friend the other day, but it really doesn't transmit "blog style," so I'll have to relay it through the Weather Girl next week.
Plans for this weekend include (but are not limited to):
- Eating ribs
- Watching the Colts dominate the Jets
- Meeting some friends at Hunter's Down Under. It's like you're in Australia, but you're not.
- Finding daunting tasks for our new intern.
You have plans? What are they? Send me an email.
Oh, and by the way, I bought the $20 chair, and it was worth every penny.

Sorry, friends. I took a break from the blog this weekend. I had to. Well, I didn't really have to, but I was enjoying Cheetos and lying in my underwear on the couch watching football. I also managed to finally watch The Hangover this weekend. Hilarious. Even my friend Judy (who is a mother and doesn't love "dude movies") liked it.
So...the Weather Girl never found her phone. Which means that someone really did steal it. Isn't that disappointing? Anyway. if you see someone trying to sell a green Samsung Propel on Craigslist or eBay, let me or her know.
It's Monday, and it's gross outside, and I'm ready for Friday. Anyone else with me?

Lady GaGa did not come to town last night. My worries were for nothing.
In other news, the Weather Girl went out on the town last night, and someone managed to steal her cell phone. I thought we lived in a nice town with nice people. Maybe I was wrong about that, too.
01.14.10 - Thursday
Lady Gaga is coming to town. And I'm terrified.
I'm worried that she is going to explode glitter all over everything, smear crazy make-up on our town's windows, and leave behind seven inch platform shoes.
If that's not a horror movie, I don't know what is.
01.13.10 - Wednesday.
Here is Bernard.
Isn't he "cute?" That's what the Weather Girl said. Cute.
No. Bernard is studly. And built of brawn.
01.12.10 - Tuesday
Here's an update!
It's 11:39 p.m. I am tired. I would like to sleep. But there is some MORON next door playing with his CRAPPY band. He sounds like Nickleback combined with the swine flu. It's ANNOYING. I hope he explodes.
The End.
01.11.10 - Monday
We're four days in with the updating daily thing, and I think it's going pretty well. So...kudos to me.
I've kind of been worried lately about the Weather Girl. Her forecasts have actually been reliable. Now granted, today it didn't snow at all, but she only said there was going to be a chance of snow. Also, with those temps, she's been dead on. I consider this an improvement. (Last month, she was correct about 17% of the time.) I guess she's not the world's greatest meteorologist.
Obviously.
But, she does sing pretty well.
In honor of Monday, here is a fun, free game to kill your last few hours at work. It's about killiing peasants and destroying villages. Play Trogdor! now.

Hey Tom Brady!
Suck it.
Love,

It's Wild Card Weekend, and most of my friends know what that means for me. Lots of potato chips. Lots of hot wings. And lots of beverages.
Football, to me, is like a fruit salad. Even though there are many different combinations, only one will make your taste buds truly happy.
I'm looking forward to the Eagles and Cowboys tonight. I know that everyone thinks Philly is going to get walked all over because of what happened last week, but I'm pretty optimistic. I mean, if you knew that you were going to be playing someone in the finals, would you show them all your moves the week before? No. You wouldn't. It's smart thinking.
And didja know that our Peyton was named the MVP again by the Associated Press? Not to surprising, but you can read about it here.

When birds poop on cars, do they laugh afterward or are they really embarrassed?
01.07.10 - Thursday
Holy Snowballs, Batman. It is white outside.
Okay, so in regard to the poll, over 70% of listeners want me to update this thing daily. Well, I am going to try. Hard. To get something up every day. It may not be of incredible substance, but whatever, right? As long as there is something new there.
Happy New Year, by the way. Personally, I like to celebrate the new year during the second week of January. Reason is: All the fun stuff is on sale. Hats, party blowers, bubbly. And I like saving money. But, this year, I went to the Lafayette Theater for the New Year's Eve 80's Big Hair Prom. It was fun. 80s Enough was fun. Lots of fun. And food. Lots of that, too.
And here is this. What is this? Weird. Well...I dunno. I kind of like it the more I watch it.

The wind is so strong today that I'm worried the radio tower is going to fall over on the building. And that, my friends, would be a tragic event.
In other news, this weekend was particularly uneventful for me. I spent the majority of Saturday afternoon on the couch switching between Die Hard and Speed 2. That night, I went downtown Lafayette to catch up with some friends.
Have you ever noticed that the more uninterested you seem in someone the more interested they seem in you? Having boring conversations is exhausting.
I found this on youtube. It's better if you listen to it on mute.

The Colts are awesome. I don't think I mention this enough. Let me explain why:
Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning
Peyton Manning.
Need I say more?

Boy, did the Weather Girl get it wrong today. It's snowing! Or...it was for a while.
In celebration of the snow, there's this video. It will explain (in about 2 minutes) how to have a proper snowball fight.
12.02.09 - Wednesday
Since I didn't take the time to do this over the holiday break, I think I'll do it now.

9. Die Hard 2
10. Chuck Norris

I had just written an emotional, thought provoking entry, and IT ALL WAS DELETED. Sometimes, for all the ease a computer brings, I just want to pick up the monitor and chuck it through a window.

So the Weather Girl wanted to have a feature in this blog of mine, but I told her it was impossible due to the fact that every time she touches electronics, a child in Africa explodes. It's not true, obviously, but she believed me. Or pretended to believe me. ...I think she might humor me the majority of the time we talk. Well, whatever. I'm her boss, so she should humor me, right?
This past weekend, I watched Indy take on the Patriots. I think if I ever had the misfortune of running into Tom Brady, I would accidentally smash his face somehow. During the game, there was a line up of Peyton Manning vs Brady on the covers of magazines. Brady was on things like Esquire and GQ. Gross. Women's magazines. And our Peyton? On things like Sports Illustrated. And Sports Illustrated. The only kind of magazine that real men read.
Let's face it, Belichick (whom I refer to as Big Belly Chick) made a dumb decision. That he defends. Read about it here.

I am planning on spending the majority of my life on the couch this weekend. There is the possibility that my plans could be interrupted, but I have faith in my ability to be "sloth-like" and remain undisturbed.
Were you as surprised by all the big words in the last paragraph as I was? Mmmhmmm. I figured so.
Today's been a little boring. Not overly boring though because I've been surfing the web. Check this awesome video out:
This morning, when I woke up, my foot looked a little larger than usual. I'm not saying that I was unhappy about this, per say, but I wasn't really sure what to do. I called my boss and asked if I could not come in today due to "gigantic foot syndrome." He said if I was really that concerned, I should probably see a doctor, and I should also probably remember to bring in the note tomorrow.
Well, I'm pretty good at plagiarizing doctor's signatures (I mean, all you have to do is draw a weird looking butterfly next to a giant cursive J), but I didn't want to miss out on a day's worth of pay. SO! I spent about 17 minutes making a stuffed pillow replica of myself. The Weather Girl came over and assured me she would prop it up in the studio.
Unfortunately, 15 minutes before 8:00 a.m., the Weather Girl called to let me know the sales staff was joyously celebrating my lack of chatter in the studio. Which means that the next time I plan this, I'll need to have hours of random discussions on a tape recorder.
Point is, I'm at work now. So, you're welcome. The glorious music will continue all day long.

Last night, the Weather Girl participated in "One Size Fits All Gives Back." It was a charity event for Food Finder's Food Bank, Reagan's Rescue, and The Community Family & Resource Center. Anyway, the Weather Girl did a fine job (though I probably could have done better), and each organization left with $347 and a bag full of goodies. That doesn't include the 10% of profit that the Lafayette Brewing Company is throwing in. Awesome, right?
Well, while I was there - and yes, I came - you should have looked closer for me - I overheard someone asking if "Bob" of Bob-FM was Bob Rohrman.
I laughed. Hard. Though Bobbo and I might get together on occassion for an after work beverage, we are most definitely not the same person.
Though, I'm sure the Weather Girl would like it if I was him. I'd probably treat her better.
