Boy it has been a busy week; well, busy couple of weeks. Samantha was at jury duty Monday and Tuesday and just came back today. I have more appointments than hours in the day, it seems, and walk-ins constantly. I stayed until 7 or later the past two days (helloooooo time and a half) but left at five today to talk to the managers about the fact that ( Read more... )

Latest sports column hit number five Most Viewed and, in a rare twist, number four Most Emailed this week! Check it out. Coming this week: my newest op-ed (it's about Prop 8 people, you know you want to read it!).

Had a blast at Disneyland today with Al, even getting to ride through Splash Mountain twice (no line, which was a common theme for the ( Read more... )

I've done a hideous job of updating this thing, so I'll just try and point out some of the highlights of the recent weeks.

My wallet was stolen Thursday night, or so I thought. $200 in charges were made on my debit card, so I canceled the card and ordered a new one, then today when I went down to get the gate clicker fixed, the manager said they'd ( Read more... )

I am grossly overdue for a real update, but I simply can't wait to document this historic moment:

I GOT A JOB!!!

I got a phone call today informing me I was the top choice for the Student Services Advisor position in the Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering Department at the USC Viterbi School of Engineering. I had an interview last Wednesday and ( Read more... )

With the exception of the hours between 7:30 and 9:45pm, today was a day I could really have done without.

After being up much of the night with a stomachache, I woke up this morning doubled over and nicely blocked up, and even after a shower I decided I was not going to be any good at work today, so I called in sick and spent the next half a day ( Read more... )

Newest op-ed is up, and I got particular praise from the editor for this one; he also says the Sports Column is receiving good reviews as well. I'd really like to get this one on the "Most Viewed" and/or "Most Emailed" lists this week, so send it to your friends and all that good jazz. I am living on fumes, and had to opt out of seeing The Drowsy ( Read more... )

Excerpted from today's letter to Grandparents since I'm too lazy to write about myself twice (who am I kidding, I love writing about myself!).

Hello Grandfolks,

This all made me greatly miss Ashland, and I hope I can get up there soon! There is an author Mom and I have read that you might enjoy named Jill Paton Walsh, who is one of Dorothy Sayers' ( Read more... )

Shannon or Andrew should get that title, other than that I think it'd be a stumper. But it does have to do with what I am doing tomorrow, which is going to Gisnepland with Jeffrey. Andrew is going to get us in, and join us for Fantasmic! and hopefully Splash and/or Indy before I go and spend the noche on his couch and then we go home this weekend ( Read more... )

Today started out to be the best day guys, so I should have known that at one unfortunate but unanticipated point it would all come crashing down, even temporarily. And in reality, as the day went on, I naively started to think that "Hey, maybe this will be the PERFECT DAY that has been so elusive my whole life!" The weather was great, everyone was ( Read more... )

I have a lot to update on and not a lot of patience for one activity right now, partly because I'm having family separation anxiety, which is always manageable when Katie is home but right now she's in Yosemite, and I'm all alone. Granted, I got my room at least to a point you can see the floor, which is a vast improvement, and I've completed half ( Read more... )
