I caught up with Sandi this evening for a little while. I’m so pleased we’ve become good friends — She’s so much fun to hang out with, and there’s certainly no shortage of things to talk about. Happily, we’ve got a games night planned for Sunday evening, so we’ll be getting together then to catch [...]

Yay! It’s finally time to see the movie version of Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy tonight! I’m so excited. I got the books last year from Jenn for my birthday, and I’ve seen most of the BBC series that I rented a while back. Now it’s time for the big production… And at the brand [...]

This day is going too slowly because I hate configuring computers. A necessary evil, but not one I enjoy. I’m currently patching my new work system (with a FREEKIN LOUD FAN!!!) to all the latest security updates *before* I finish installing my other programs, so they don’t screw up my installations as per normal. Can [...]

I want to talk about a supplement that I’ve been taking since late November of last year: 5-HTP, or otherwise known as 5-hydroxytryptophan which is a derivative of the amino acid, tryptophan. The reason I started taking it was due to my inability to properly handle stress, which was causing me to sleep less, which [...]

OXYCLEAN is my new best friend!! That massive (3 foot square) stain in the middle of my living room is all but a distant memory, now! With one quick application, and five minutes of waiting, the stain dissapeared before my eyes. I will say, however, that if I buy a place with white carpeting, it [...]

After reading and discussing various friends’ online and offline dating experiences, as well as taking part in discussions about appropriate ways to break up with people, I noticed that many of us have different tolerances when it comes to ways of communicating this bad news. That’s why I found this week’s article by a friend [...]

I put my foot down tonight and, despite my pending deadlines, went rowing. As I’d been at the office late last night due to firewall upgrades, I actually left the office at about 4:20 this afternoon which was a nice change… Only to go home and get on my hands and knees and scrub the [...]

Seriously. It’s as if we simply can’t have one without the other. Jer and I drove down to Seattle on Friday night — I was delirious from being so exhausted due to a severe lack of sleep during the week. The worst night was Thursday night when I worked about 20 hours that day. If [...]

[shaking my head in disgust] More of the same. Benedict XVI… “The Enforcer” (and former German Nazi) has just joined the ranks of the past to become the new Pope. What were the members of the conclave thinking? Did language get in the way? Forget progress, kids. This guy’s even less likely to help those [...]

I live in one hell of a beautiful city… You might have noticed my new webcam (well, it’s not mine, actually) on the right bar of this page. After seeing an image on Paul’s blog, I went to investigate the origin, and found a cool webcam from KatKam.ca — Not your standard webcam, but rather [...]

Our trip to Seattle this weekend was [this close] to being cancelled. Jeremy called me up this afternoon at 4:15 to let me know that there was a great likelyhood he would have to be on a plane to Austin tomorrow morning because of an emergency work issue. That would have sucked… Because even though [...]

Hi guys! I’m still alive, and yes, feeling much better today. Yesterday wasn’t too bad, but being at work until midnight really wasn’t much fun. …The not fun part was due to the fact that I’d prefer to work from home on my outside projects, but Jer was working on firewall issues at the office [...]

I have a bad headache. I’ve had a bad Monday. This very frustrating day started off with 30 minutes of connectivity problems which turned out to be a co-worker’s mistake by forgetting to replace my connection on the switch he was messing with on Friday. I should have just gone home at 9:30, as it [...]

Too funny.

God no! They’re up… The long lost photos from the housewarming that occured, err… Almost 2 weeks ago now. My apologies for taking so damned long, but I’ve been insanely busy this last little bit. Gotta pay the bills, you know. Anyhow — Check out the photo page for the goods. Now Sue can stop [...]
