Thanksgiving Turkey

For Thanksgiving this year, I went to my brother's place in Madison, WI.  We actually made a turkey and stuff and consumed proper amounts of alcohol.

Here are the results of our cooking:


It was a successful shopping trip on Wednesday night:

The turkey turned out well, here is most of it:
After 4 hours of waiting, we got a little impatient and had to taste it.

String bean casserole = Very delicious


Mashed Pototoes: also very delicious

The Turkey, after we cut it up:


All together now:

I call the meal a success, plus, the leftovers were very good for latenight snacks. 

On Friday I didn't go out shopping really early like I usually do.  Instead I waited until I got bored around 9:30 that morning, then went out.  I even found all the stuff I was looking for.  So, for the rest of that Friday this is what I played:


This game is so awesome!  I really don't want to stop playing.

Weekend in Bemidji

Went up to Bemidji for the weekend.  It was awesome!  Also, I got a new phone, her name is Siri.  She is awesome as well!


It snowed, here is Ryan, Molly, and Skyler frolicking in the snow


Here was my food for Saturday night, shaved lamb and au jus.  It was delicious.



Skyler got a Trident instead of a fork:




This is Toasty Beaver's.  We stayed here for about 5 mins.  On about half the TVs Saw 2 was playing.  Kinda weird for a bar.  But we left and found another bar that was way better.


Ryan, after only a couple drinks


Ryan, after a few more drinks and about to do some shots!!




I wish Skyler would have slept like this all night.  Classic.


When I got home, Buddy was being annoying since I was gone for a few days. Here he is plotting against me.  Don't be fooled by his looks, he is evil:

New favorite song, same old band

I concluded this morning that I now have a new favorite song.  It has replaced my old favorite song, one which I have had since the 7th grade.  They both are amazing, and they both are from the same greatest band on Earth:  Barenaked Ladies!




My Old Favorite Song:


My New Favorite Song:

And here are some songs that are just awesome:

Colin Hay


Matt Costa


The Decemberists

BNL


And last, who doesn't love this classic:

Week Off From Darts

Not really, still played darts.  It just didn't count.



Here is what Ryan and I did for part of the night.  It was super fun, plus we listened to Barenaked Ladies the whole time!







We got some party poppers! I think that's how you spell it. It was awesome! We even figured out how to reset the device so we could use it multiple times.

A Top 10 List

I got bored, so this is what I came up with.

These are the top 10 things that piss me off: 

10:  The movie Catwoman - It is so bad that it is the only movie that I will never watch again.


9:  Nick Punto



8:  Annoying barking dogs that don't shut up.



7:  When I'm using a computer and it is very slow

6:  Stores selling holiday stuff before the previous holiday is even over. This also includes TV stations showing holiday shows before the previous holiday is over.



5:  Stupid Drivers - Especially people who park where they are not supposed to. Like old people parking in the handicapped spot because they don't want to walk very far. Idiots!

4:  Valentines Day/ My Birthday - If you know me, you know why!

3:  Stupid People - There are so many types of these people that it would take a book to explain them all.

2.  Being ignored - Can't stand it.  If you want to piss me off, this is the easiest way. 

1.  Headaches - Which by the way, can be caused by any of the previous on this list.
