Smellso's News Story

For those of you who don't know, Smellso was on the news this morning talking about pets. I thought it was hilarious, so if you missed it, don't worry because the segment is online. Click on the link and on the right it says "watch video". Make sure to watch Carlos because he is quite funny. And if they show it, look for Smellso's awkward forced smile.

Ladies and Gentlemen, Carlos the Guinea Pig in all his "pigginess".

[The article definitely uses "pigginess"]

Tuesday Nights

Shhh...its Confidential

Patron on a Tuesday night is a bad choice

Actually...its not that secret

USD Homecoming

For those of you who went there, you know its going to be a great time. For those of you who didn't, you missed out on a great time. USD was a great 4 years for us and its about that time of year when we all gather together and debauchary ensues to celebrate being out one more year. It's that time where, even if you live across the country [ahem, Shrimp Fucker], you return to drink copious amounts of beer, watch football together and then proceed to go out and do ridiculous things throughout the evening. It's a great time of year.

However, I would like to point out the following video made by the University of San Diego.
1. What were you thinking?
2. What were you thinking?
3. Do you really think whatever you were thinking was going to work?

See for yourself.

Stinky Returns

After a brief sabbatical from the blog world, Stinky is back and ready to let loose all the happends of the past few weeks and those to come. Generally what's been going on:

1. Our internet went out about 3 weeks ago and we just got it together. Actually, what really happened is the neighbors got wise to our act and started putting passwords on their routers. Jerks.
2. T-Rex had her birthday last weekend. It was hilarious, but that is for another blog.
3. Scooper had her birthday last weekend as well. Also hilarious, but for another blog.
4. Stinky basically has her own route at work now due to her impeccable work ethic, dashing good looks and amazing personality. Actually, they needed me to fill in, but I can think the former, right?
5. The little Audi finally said no to continuing on with life, so Stinky had to remove her from life support. She is no more, but I do have a nice new ride. Her name is "Fitz". 2005 Toyota Corolla Sport, silver. It has a spoiler, which means I fulfill my Honorary A-Team duties. "Sister!"
6. The Buckeyes wrecked shop yesterday in College Football which lead me to drink probably 24 beers and do some shots. I got excited. It was no Ohio St/Michigan performance like last year (Tapatio, Meatball, McSherry...we remember the introduction of Pinball Christiane), but it was a good one, needless to say.
7. The Bengals came out on top today, which was awesome because A.) It was the Steelers, B.) It was rather close, and C.) I bet Sweet Kyle money and bragging rights...so he owes me badly. Best part about it is that he won't return my calls, which means he is exceptionally embarressed.

Stinky signing off....more to come later

A recap of this trip home

Visiting home is always entertaining because some things never change. We get older and leave, but when you come home everything is exactly the same as you left it. Highlights of this weekend:

• Realizing again that you can't go anywhere in this town without running into someone you know....... or their cousin.
• What's a land line?
• More importantly, what's a busy signal?
• The ever so popular - "Did you hear that so&so is dating what's-her-face? I can't believe they did that to what's-her-butt!"
• The Santa Rosalina Festival brings out every Italian, which means we see ever aunt and cousin I didn't know I had.
• Realized that every kid in our family has worked at the Old Fisherman's Grotto and the same people that worked there 4 years ago with me, still work their now with Big Tor, and yes, Carol still puts on red lipstick that gets all over her teeth.
• We ate at two of the million restaurants owned by the Shakes (all of the kids' boss at some point) and managed to run into and speak with half their family at said restaurants.
• I am officially a tourist of this town: I drive through Pebble Beach so I can check out the scenery on the way to Sparky's house. Mind you Sparky and I both live in Pacific Grove, no need to enter Pebble Beach.
• My 10th grade bio teacher, Mr. Olsen, is still gorgeous.
• My parents took me seriously when I told them I would never come home again unless they changed the cardboard sheets in my room.
• Lesson of the weekend: Drinking 3 kinds of wine in mulitple servings in one sitting is a bad choice. My head still aches.

Stinky....signing out

Day at the Races

Welcome to Del Mar...

Some Housewarming Photos as promised...

Latest Recap

A little recap of the past week...(In case anyone cares, which I'm sure you don't, but I will tell you anyway)

• Labor Day Weekend: Did absolutely nothing and it was probably the best decision in the history of the world. Actually that's not true, we dressed up like Yuppie Snobs on Saturday and went to the races. The girls won money, Greg was not impressed.
• Tuesday: Soul Food. Let's just say we were looked at incredibly weird as we walked through the door of Bonnie Jean's. Needless to say, we were stuck out like sore thumbs being the only three generic white girls in the entire zip code. "You guys...Is green a gang color?"
• Wednesday: Stood on top of a wine cooler at the Ralph's downtown for the better part of 4 hours. Check out the Charger display though, I did a damn good job. Since their elevator light was out and I needed to use it, Don [the 65 year old Ralph's worker] asked me several times if he could hold my hand in the elevator to make sure I didn't get scared. Moderately creepy.
• Thursday: Totally getting prepped for going home tomorrow.
• Friday: Making an exciting return to the 831 to lay, sit, and sleep at home and chill with the units. Hopefully I will get some g-unit time in as well.
• Saturday: Ohio State Buckeyes vs Texas - Hi yo College Football.
• Sunday: Come back home.
• Monday: NFL Monday Night Football kickoff - Chargers vs Raiders

Football season is probably the greatest invention of all time. I'm incredibly excited.

A Little Taste of the 831

I like to take time and read up on the local newspaper from home to check out the "important" things that are going on around town. Here is today's "top" news stories:

• Top Story: 'There is a New Predator on the Block: Aquarium hosts another great white shark'
• Local Headlines: "Hospital Staff Feeling 'Anxiety'", "Comfortable in the Saddle", and "Star Studded Lineup brings out passionate Reggae Fans."

Big news I know. I knew I was missing a lot.
