But not the Green Day type.  Even though I was at a conference for the first two days of last week, I've been unmotivated and stressed out.  So I randomly took Friday off since I have extra vacation days.

Anyway, let's talk about less boring things!

Angie and I watched AMC's new Interview with the Vampire series.  I'd actually say it was pretty ( Read more... )

I knew it would have to eventually happen, but finally, the soccer bro's were out last week. Again, this is a for fun league after work which ranges from some pretty old people and people of different skill levels and fitness levels. This may get racist so let me put it behind a cut, because that'll make it better!

I am old. And since I'm super sore that means that I did end up playing soccer after work.

My weekdays have pretty much turned into staying late at work (~6), coming home, eating, walking Alfie, working another 1-2 hours, then watching an episode or two of Lost before going to sleep. It's been fairly killer, but hopefully just one more bad week and it'll get better? I also had to work BOTH days this weekend, which normally, I feel like ( Read more... )

Angie and I have been watching the Olympics pretty much every night since it started. And it's super convenient now with DVR to record and watch what you want.

Plot-wise, it's almost exactly the same, except Beth " ( Read more... )

Several random life updates, I suppose ( Read more... )

I've been exhausted recently. It's a good thing that I'm going on vacation! I'll try to be good and do some vacation posts upon our return ( Read more... )

We finished Spider-man: Far From Home last week, which means we finished the whole MCU. Took about a month which makes sense since it's like 21 or 23 movies, something like that. So on most nights we watched a movie.

Last weekend, it was my birthday, although I was a grumpy person for much of it, which I feel bad for since Angie is so accommodating. Anyway, we actual birthday was on the 5th (Sunday), but we had to do festivities on Saturday since my older brother (Howie) cares not about anything than himself but we'll get to that later ( Read more... )
