I've been trying really hard lately to change my job. I'm not looking outside my current company, but I have been pursuing other interests from within. I know I posted a while back that I had applied for something, but for a multitude of reasons (none of which had anything to do with me as a candidate (or so I've been reassured)) that fell through ( Read more... )

We are right in the middle of Passover. They call it that because its the holiday most people wish they could pass over ( Read more... )

It didn't occur to me that it had been this long since I posted. My adoring fans (totalling somewhere around three, I'm sure) probably missed my lengthy, nonsensical posts ( Read more... )

I'm kickin' it bachelor style this weekend. The wife is out of town in Phoenix. It's okay though, my buddy Hector backed me up. We went to see the movie "Hitman." I have to say, it was a really cool movie. Are you looking for some cool fight scenes, a badass character, and very little plot? Then go see Hitman. It reminds me of those Bourne ( Read more... )

Can you believe that it snowed here over the weekend? It was really cold too. Though, "really cold" was mid-thirties. So, for some of you, that's a warm day. I'm aware of that.

Happy New Year everyone (who's Jewish.) Yes, that's right, Wednesday night was the Jewish New Year (Rosh Hashana). What does that mean? Does it mean tons of drinking and partying? No. Did it mean I had the day off work? Only because I took a vacation day. Does it mean sleeping in late the next morning and relaxing? Only sort of. What it meant was ( Read more... )

I'm sitting in front of the TV, playing Resistance: Fall of Man, killing the Chimera hordes, when the doorbell rings. The dog jumps up and runs to the door, tail wagging. I pause the mayhem on the TV, grab the dog, and open the door. There's a woman standing there, maybe in her thirties, and she says, "Hola, blah blah blah blah blah." I don't ( Read more... )

I don't know how many of you have ever played an RPG (Role Playing Game), but I was struck recently on how great a setting El Paso is for an RPG. I'm talking about something more along the lines of Dragon Warrior or Final Fantasy, not really Dungeons and Dragons or World of Warcraft ( Read more... )
