God bless those Spartans. They came home have after three straight painfully close losses and totally dominated the Badgers. Watching them tonight was just like watching them brutalize the Wolverines at their first meeting this year. So many things went right, instead of so many things going wrong, which made the game a pleasure to watch ( Read more... )

Another office day - prepped Yo Gabba Gabba nonsense and all other busy work. Stayed very busy throughout the day. Walked down to Target, market, Coffee Works with Steve. Die Hard 5 with Erin after work. Waiting for Living Social list to arrive - completely last minute. Did not arrive today. Cooked kho chicken with boiled eggs and rice ( Read more... )

I spent the first portion of the day continuing my Die Hard watching spree, something I hope to conclude by the end of the week. I don’t mean that to sound like I’m disparaging the Die Hard franchise. This is more like one of the countless little projects I give myself that, at the end, I can say, “I did that.” It’s not a lofty goal but it sure is ( Read more... )

I was up earlier than expected this morning and began eating leftovers from yesterday (but not the serious ones). Alisher texted to say he couldn't train today so I started sniffing around for other things to do. I ended up spending the afternoon with Steven after he walked down the the neighborhood for a haircut only to realize his barber no ( Read more... )

I started my day with a trip to the library to pick up some items I had on hold and to select some others that struck my fancy. Among them are the Ali DVD and War Horse book. It's all part of my attempt at being more engaged with upcoming shows ( Read more... )

According to my phone, I haven't logged a road bike ride since October 17, 2012. Has it really been that long? That's more than three months (duh) - I don't think I've been off the bike that long since I started taking it seriously. And based on the length of today's ride, I still have barely been on the bike. I rode to the Neptune to drop off my ( Read more... )

I have paid for very little this month besides coffee, groceries, and the usual bills. I've been to far more shows than usual and still have several lined up throughout the next week. I'm obviously in a convenient, privileged place to get access to lots of shows. And I've been doing it long enough now that I know some people who I can ask for comps ( Read more... )

Going to keep it very brief tonight. After work, I finally went to see Prometheus at Cinerama in 3-D with Erin and Steven. I enjoyed it, can recommend it, and was glad to have watched all the Alien movies so recently. It's not as good at Alien or Aliens but it's far superior to parts three and four. Do you need to have see any of them ever or ( Read more... )

I've been to the movies quite a bit in the past couple months. More than the past couple years if you average it out. And when you go to the movies more than once a month or once a quarter, it can be difficult to not see the same 10 trailers before every movie. The big blockbuster trailers I saw without interest included the new Spider-man picture ( Read more... )

As a result of Shear Madness selling so poorly at the Moore (for the entire month), I was able to finish my shift tonight with enough time to catch a bus up to Northgate, grab a quick sushi dinner, and catch a movie with Steven. On recommendation from my mom, we went to The Dictator which was as funny as advertised, but for sure much stupider than ( Read more... )
