• Ultimate Makes the News


    Watched Muppets in Space tonight with Kai, Jeff, Amy, Erik, Melissa, Kemp and Cam. Don’t believe the imdb rating. The movie was a total blast, highly recommended. Let’s just say I was left wondering just how much of the humor in the Muppets went over my head when I was younger. Heh.
    Without further ado, here’s the newspaper story I mentioned last time… Great article (apart from a little typo). ๐Ÿ™‚

    Funny story about this — I guess at one point the reporter had asked if she could use me as a contact for the story. Here I thought she meant for her research. Saturday morning rolled around, I awoke to voice on the phone I didn’t recognize, asking for me by name. I blurt out “He’s not available right now.” The voice says back “That’s okay, I’ll call back later.”, after which point I cursed to myself for not saying “I’m not interested.”
    It wasn’t until four hours later that I realized my home number was in the paper as a contact for Ultimate in Sarasota, and that my “telemarketer” was actually person who had read the article that morning and was calling to inquire. Thankfully he did call back (thanks Greg) ๐Ÿ™‚
    I’ve had five more people call since that — woo! I’ve invited them all out to tomorrow night’s practice, should be a lot of fun! ๐Ÿ™‚

  • Big Massive Grocery-List Update

    Wow, feels like it’s been forever since I posted last. Because, well, I guess it has. Sorry about that. Work’s gotten the better of me since Tuesday (excluding Saturday); I am going to try and keep you all more up to date in the coming week.
    Especially since my good friend Jim will be posting an assignment shortly.
    So, it’s all getting a bit hazy, here are the week’s accomplishments:

    • Worked (a lot)
    • Watched Get Shorty. A little confusing in parts but great fun (and I’m sure makes more sense if you watch it in a single day)
    • Watched Sea Biscuit. An uplifting look at the great depression (and horse racing too). Not bad, but nothing spectacular, either. Watched over three days and two five-day rental periods.
    • Remember that reporter who had a photographer come out? Well, her article about Ultimate came out yesterday, and I was quoted in it. Wahoo! ๐Ÿ™‚ Stay tuned, I’ll probably be posting it here soon.
    • Thanks to a friend of coworker, I watched the Tampa Bay Lightning-Florida Panthers NHL game last night for free! Tampa won, woot.
    And that brings me to here.
    Hope everyone had a great Valentine’s day; I spent mine lazing (wow, I don’t think I’ve ever seen that word written) about the house. Today, it’s work for a couple of hours, then off to pickup-disc in Bradenton. Hopefully it’s not too soggy out, we had the most horrendous rainstorm last night.

  • The list


    In my haste last night I neglected to mention: Sunday, I spent an hour sitting at Sun Circle Park watching the pelicans feed. Have you ever seen a pelican feed? It’s the coolest thing. Don’t forget you can click on any picture to see the supersized version.
    So, onto tonight’s topic: the best way to get a hold of me online.
    Here’s my list — ranked by frequency checked, with the most frequently checked item at the top:

    • iChat/AIM (instant)
    • e-mail (once an hour)
    • krishenblog (2-3 times/day)
    • orkut (once/day)
    • irc (once/day)
    • MSN Messenger (once/week)
    • ICQ (twice/month)
    • Friendster (probably once/month)

    What’s your list look like?
