Excersie Bikes, Pretty Princess # 2, little date thingy do hickey

So I've spent the past 15 minutes burning major calories reading past blog posts of mine and such, that I'm burning time too waiting for little-date-thingy-do-hickey to call me to meet up for coffee. Although I dont drink coffee, I'm just trying to be cool.

Tim and I just hada converstion about his new excersice bike. It was pretty funny so I decided to recap it here.


[14:36] Tim Rohrbach: 25 minutes on the bike is a good 500 calorie burn.
[14:37] ThePhattyK: is that alot?
[14:37] Tim Rohrbach: Adjustable tension can make it feel like i am riding up a hill, or on a flat surface.
[14:37] Tim Rohrbach: It is better then wieght lifting or walking, by far.
[14:37] ThePhattyK: what about downhill? can you coast downhill thats what I would do
[14:37] Tim Rohrbach: If you are just looking for calorie burn.
[14:38] ThePhattyK: can I coast downhill for 25 minutes and burn 500 calories?
[14:38] Tim Rohrbach: Works the arms to, cause they are hooked up to the pedals.
[14:38] Tim Rohrbach: lol, It would be quite the popular bike then!
[14:38] ThePhattyK: Does it have pegs on the back wheel so someone can ride with you? Or maybe a basket with a bell that would be sweet
[14:39] Tim Rohrbach: lol, and little pink streamers?
[14:39] ThePhattyK: YEA
[14:39] Tim Rohrbach: Named Sasha.
[14:39] ThePhattyK: no Princess
[14:39] Tim Rohrbach: Sasha is from scrubs.....I like that better.
[14:40] Tim Rohrbach: when is your coffee date?
[14:40] ThePhattyK: shes goona call me soon
[14:40] Tim Rohrbach: nice.
[14:41] Tim Rohrbach: I'm gonna ride.......
[14:41] Tim Rohrbach: Good luck!
[14:41] ThePhattyK: make vrrom vroom noises
[14:41] Tim Rohrbach: lol

So the idea is that if I designed a excersize bike it would completely without a doubt ROCK. I'll add that to my to-do list, right after saving the world, and beating this guy online in a racing game.

Some of you may or maynot know that I have a kinda quirky, off-beat dry sarcastic, unique, sometimes hard to get, I'm smarter than you so there kind of sense of humor. Scott a co-worker of mine has finally gotten it. Scott and I started at Macaroni Grill at the same time, and for the apt four months, whenever I see him I say 'Hows my Pretty Princess?' and I ask questions like 'Did you get that pursue you wanted to match your new shoes?'. He didnt really like it too much, and that of course just convinced me to continue. My logic is inpenetrable. So now its routine and I say hello to Pretty Princess the same way everyday and he just shakes his head and says 'hey Kyle'. Its how I am with the people I like to work with. Theres a guy Therren that I work with, but his name sounds alot like Karen, and there is a server there named Karen, so there can be some confusion there. So being as grand as I am and always looking for a way to refer to co-workers in girlie ways I call him Teresa. He doesnt like it one bit, and worse I got his girlfriend doing the same thing. I love it.

So I'm waiting for a call from this girl I've been chit chattig with for about a month now to go grab some coffee or something. We have been trying to get together for a while now, but both of your schedule are pretty messed up, and dont revolve around the whole, hey lets do dinner and movie type of date, instead its like hey I'll see you later at the Otter or, maybe we can do lunch if we get our butts out of bed type of date.
So I'm waiting for a call..........
hmm...

Spy vs. Spy

Most of you may rember the old MAD magazine's comic called 'Spy vs. Spy'. Most of you also may whatch TV. I dunno I'm really going on a streach here. Fewer of you amy rember the 'Spy vs. Spy' 8-bit Nintendo game, I do :).

Mountain Dew has released a group of commerials based on the comic that are alot of fun to watch, I really like their approach.

There are four videos as of now I'm not sure if they plan to release more or not, but if I had to guess it will be a superbowl thingy. And of course I'm working, just like the past few years WEEEE.

Ahhhhhhh.

Not only is that sound I make after a go pee, but it is also the sound I make when I'm able to downlaod my favorite bestest of best TV shows again. I ran into some difficulties a month ago and with some help(TIM) have found a new resource to get my Scrubs fix. Ahhhhhhhh.

And its still snowing, and its starting to get old. I did laundry today, it sucked, I really dont enjoy driving to a laundromat on a cold cold day off when I could stay in and drink..... hot cocoa. Sean and I were supposed to hang out today, but I spent too much time getting stuid stuff done, like laundry and now I'm pooped. I also have gotten myself into another tutoring gig with a friend from work, should be interesting, my last 'student' was quite the dissapointment as she basially gave up and dropped the class.

Snow, and Yea I'm a Nerd

I am nerdier than 81% of all people. Are you nerdier? Click here to find out!

I found this quiz when I was reading through some Half Life 2 forums today.

Not a whole lot to write about this past week. Its been snowing alot! It has stoped it seems today and is warm enough for the salt to do what good salt is supposed to do. I have to note also that the Jeep did very well plowing through three feet of snow that the plows seemed obliidged to pile around my Jeep. Thats okay I had the last laugh.

On Saturday I invited Sean and Christine over for dinner and a movie, it was alot of fun. They got here about 6pm, and left about 5 am. WE went through alot of food and beer, and it was a good time, it was a good night for it too, noone wanted to go out becuase of all the snow we were getting. The night ended at 5am with me and Willy outside with laid oven mits on helping Sean and Christine get there car un-stuck.

This Thursday I'll be meeting with Prof. Andy Phelps at RIT. I think he is more of a nerd than I am, I was looking at his webage and there is some pretty interesting stuff on there, I think I'll go back and read some moretonight after work. But the point of this meeting is to get a better idea of the different computer majors to better decided what Iw ant to do. This will help becuase I really enjoy nearly every aspect of computers. So hoefully this meeting will help me out alot so I can make a good smart decision.

Three weary travelers after their 3000 mile trip across the country back home to Rochester NY and our -12 degree weather. WELCOME HOME!

Cooking vs. Computers

So as many of you know I have many interests, and I'm ahving a difficult time choosing what I want to do, and it is a decision that is way overdue. now the decision hasnt been made up yet but I thought of something interesting the other day.

Wouldnt it be wierd if snow fell upwards instead of falling? That would be neat.

Also, I though about books concerning both of the interests. You will find amny books helping people learn how to cook in many different styles that reflect on the culture and tastes of many different regions around the world. When it comes to comptuers there is one way to do things. You can find books on cooking by reputable authors and chefs talking about the act of cooking with passion and feeling and love. You wont find a book on computers, wether it be programming or application how-to that shares the passion invloved with cooking. Just a thought I had after seeing my friend Tim in the bookstore the other day.

What is snow fell upwards and fell at the same time....then you can spin yourself around until you fell over dizy and you wouldnt know what way was up when you opened your eyes!!! That would be fun!

Just keep Swimming, Just keep Swimming

Just keep swimming la lalalala allalalalallaaaaaa.. Thats from Finding Nemo. It would probably make more sense if I sung it for your guys for real. But I can't do that right now.

Well I just called up Willy, Sean, and Christine to check one there location in the US. Willy flew out to CA Sunday morning to drive back from CA to NY with Sean and Christine, so I'm going to cal them once a day and check up on them and make sure Sean and Christine hasnt ditch Willy somewhere. Although, maybe that wouldnt be so bad. Then Sean and Christine could move in with me and that would be cool. Hmmmmmm

I had a blond date thingy last night, it went pretty well. I met a girl named Jaime, how is friends with Elissa and Michell(Tim's Wife). She seemed nice, pretty quiet. There was one weird part though, when I padi for our share of the meal, Jaime didnt offer to help pay, nor did she say thank you. That was odd. Lack of manors erk me. But we'll probably hang out again sometime, not sure when yet.
Annnnnd last night I went to headquaters to tell Sarah about my little date and Elizabth was there, a girl that I've been chit-chatting with lately. We spent an hour and half playing 'photo-hunt' and talkin and we may be doing lunch together on Sunday. I was pretty pleased with my self strapping on the balls to ask her to lunch. So yea Just keep Swimming!!!!

Kelly I hope you are feeling better.

Lets just be friends

No thanks, I have too many friends as it is. When do you work next? Okay see you then.
