Injustices
I’m not one to think I oogle and oogle over celebrites. My long time infatuation with Helen Hunt is well established and documented. However I’d like to think that given the opportunity to sit down and have a drink with Mrs. Hunt she’d still appear to be flesh and bone, and that I wouldn’t stare at her in wonderment the entire time. I’d much rather have a human like conversation with someone who leads a very different life than my own. So if I had the chance to meet a “celebrity” I hardly think I’d embarrass myself or those around me.
Hopefully you’re familiar with a show on the Discovery Channel called Mythbusters. Where they take old myths and put them to the test to determine how much truth they really have. Well they’re going to be doing a presentation at K-State McCain auditorium on Friday. They’re not filming an episode or anything, I believe they’re just going to be talking about the show. To be honest, I have no idea what they will be talking about. I am going to try my best to make it to the show, which hopefully isn’t sold out yet.
No injustices so far.
AFTER the show, a co-worker of mine who apparently knows some people who know some people, is going out for drinks with one of the cast members from the show, Kari. Who just so happens to be the coolest one out of them all! And I’ll just say I’m a little miffed that I wasn’t invited! I don’t want an autograph, or a picture sitting next to her. I just think it’d be cool to sit and chill with a cool person who does cool stuff for a living.
So even though I wasn’t invited, I do happen to know particulars. And I just might coincidentally be in the same place at the same time, enjoying a drink of my own. That’s not too stalkerish is it?
It’s all in the wording…
Tonight John and I went over to Dodge, picked up Jamie and went to eat a bite of supper and pick up a few things at Walmart. We got back to Jamie’s apartment around 9:30p.m. As we stepped out of the car we heard a couple of guys yelling and throwing the “F” word around. There were probably 15-20 people out in the next parking lot with them and it sounded like it was getting outta hand and perhaps a fight would break out. When we got upstairs Jamie called Bryan at work and told him that there was a “small riot” out in the parking lot next to theirs.
In the meantime, I call the cops and tell them that they need to check it out. I said I wasn’t sure what was going on, but that it seemed to be outta hand. Within minutes there were five cop cars with lights a-flashing (no sirens) outside in that circle. I felt I had gotten excellent response to my call.
BUT…it turns out Bryan had also called the cops and in relaying his concern for his wife and child he used those two little words that Jamie used to describe the situation, “small riot”. Yeah, that’ll really get them moving in Dodge City! My call was just icing on the ole ‘riot’ cake! haha
Anyways, all the people scattered when the cops showed up and it should be a quiet night for Jamie and Bryson.
Thar be sound in them speakers!
I got the radio put in, the front dash put back together, and the amp and subs hooked up. So I can hear music now! Now I just need to get the rear speakers and get those installed, and I guess it will be done. That and figure out how to set my clock. But it’s nice to have my dash back! I’d update with pictures in the morning.
Edit: Here’s the pics.
Sudoku is the rage of the moment in W KS
This is what everyone at work is doing in their spare time. It’s frustrating, yet I keep trying to solve just ONE dang puzzle! Give it a whirl!

What a SMALL world!
I had an interesting experience at work today! I’m sitting at my computer and my phone rang. There was a guy on the line who said that he wanted to place an ad. I was like… ok. Nothing unusual there.
So, to pull up a customer’s billing information we use their phone number. Well he gave me his number and it didn’t bring up anything. I asked if it was the first time he advertised in our paper and he said yes. So I got ready to type in all his personal information, and I said “Can I get your last name?”
His response… “Althouse.”
I said, “You’ve got to be kidding me! That’s my maiden name! You don’t hear that last name too often!”
“I bet I’m related to you,” he told me.
I asked if he knew Frank and Dolores Althouse, and that they were my Grandparents. He said, “Oh yeah! I’m Paul Althouse. Your dad and I are 1st cousins (at least I think that’s what he said). And you must be Jamie, and your brother is Matt!”
What a small world! I was blown away! When he said his last name, it took me a second and I was thinking, did he really say “Althouse”… yeah he did! Wow!
