Busy times

The complete lack of content of any kind anywhere is due to a pretty busy week. That business seems to be relenting a bit, so I hope to get back in the game very soon. This includes new J&D FTW episodes - we actually have two in the can, but I need to edit & release them. I am aiming to get back on the Thursday release schedule tomorrow. (Check the site for details.)

Also very cool and worth of mention, Sean and Ryan have a new site where they're pumping out ridiculously awesome videos here: Ryan vs Sean. The first entries are amazing, so be sure to check it out. (Also, I'm again impressed by the traffic flow the Blogulator can bestow upon things just by mentioning them. You guys are like the new AOL.)

Exciting new snippets in my life to keep you all happy until next time:
1) I got a new computer at work, with Office 2007, which blows. Big time. After downgrading back to 2003, I issue this warning: Office 2007 blows.
2) I'm finally going to do the 20-minute job of cleaning the Saab's throttle body today... at lunch! Wacky.
3) Speaking of the Saab, I feel conflicted about that car. On one hand, I like the way it looks and the interior more than just about anything, but it keeps giving me annoying problems. Should I keep fixing it? Should I get a new 9-5? Should I give up and get an Acura? Oh the confliction.
4) Maria and I are apartment hunting this weekend. We're moving back up to the Lincoln Square / Andersonville area on July 1. I assume Pat will throw us a big party to welcome us to the neighborhood.
5) Our kickball team beat the hell out of this other team last night. We are offically undefeated. (The other team actually had to forfeit due to not enough players, but our captain paper-rock-scissored them to see if they had to forfeit or if the pickup game would count. We won that, and then still crushed them in the real game. Go Hell Toupee!)

They said it would never happen

We proved 'em wrong, Joe!! Joe and Dave For the Week: Episode 2 - Austin, TX is UP! Whoooo!!! No matter what, we officially have had a "run" of shows. No matter what. (Assuming Vimeo finishes processing the file; right now it is still pending.)

You can get to it over at the Joe and Dave For the Week site, or I'll go ahead and post it here. (Also, I linked to the JD FTW site over on the side there, just in case you need it later.)

That's that - celebrate with a beer. (Perhaps from the secret bar I just discovered in downtown Chicago that has $4.50 22 oz Guinness drafts...)
