This is a week old but still cracks me up.
If you like basketball and/or jokes, you should follow Dan on Twitter and Tumblr. Oh, and he does write for some blog called Ball Don’t Lie from this tiny Internet startup by the name of Yahoo if you’re interested in the professional aspect of his life.
(And yes, he’s Kevin Devine’s brother, and he has pretty good taste in music too.)
I finally figured out what that phantom Amazon deposit in my checking account was from
Back in November there was a ~$50 deposit made to my checking account from Amazon.com. Now, I’m not a seller on there, so I made multiple inquiries with Amazon to find out what this was for, assuming it was mistake. After I got the run around from three different customer service representatives I gave up because I figured by this time if it really was a mistake they would have contacted me about it.
Well today on a whim I decided to look through my Associates account. You may notice every time I post a song I link to the MP3 on Amazon if possible so that if you like the track you may purchase it. This works really well, as I have referred Amazon whopping sales of THREE WHOLE MP3s in a span of four or five years…thank me later, Amazon.
Upon looking through my earnings summary it appears that someone clicked through a link I provided, and then proceeded to purchase an $800 camcorder and a $350 tripod. That pushed me over the payment threshold and that’s where that deposit came from.
So thank you, Mystery Amazon Shopper, for choosing to order really expensive gadgets through my Tumblr.
BLAKE GRIFFIN WAS HERE
Uh oh, look what I got…
I’m going to finish the first season of The Wire, then I’m going to hook this bad boy up.
(We have the first version of this, but it gets incredibly hot so I went for a surprise upgrade.)
Three Sheets…
…also taught me about Irish Whiskey and Bourbon, and a bunch of other stuff.
Seriously. Zane Lamprey may be kind of fratty, but that didn’t stop me from buying all three seasons of Three Sheets on DVD. And then watching them multiple times. And seeing him live.
(If you enjoy the show but not necessarily him, check out the Vegas episode where he gets a black eye.)
Did I Dropbox myself an episode of The Wire so I could watch it at lunch?
Yes, yes I did.
And I’m pretty excited about it.
So that’s what woke me up this morning.
We live less than half a mile from a Seattle police station, so we’re pretty used to hearing sirens. But if they’re loud enough to wake us up that means they’re pretty close and pretty prolonged.
I know exactly what house that is, and while I’m glad the guy isn’t dead (yet - critical condition is no walk in the park), that lot should have been torn down years ago.
the braids tho.
Vladimir Radmanovic had the best time in Cancun.
NEVER FORGET BRAIDED VLAD
