Syracuse made the Sweet Sixteen! Yay! I went to watch the game at Fox & Hound, an Uptown sports bar, because I thought I bunch of people from the alumni club would be there, but it was just 2 other alums, their dates, and me. It was still fun, though. To me, any more wins are just bonus. To lose the first round game would have sucked big-time. ( Read more... )

Today was a great day. I was off from work for the MLK Holiday, which I observed by watching CNN's broadcast of the "I have a dream" speech, which was really cool. And now I am listening to U2's The Unforgettable Fire album, as it has a few songs that reference Dr. King ( Read more... )

James Taylor....whooo! We went with Jamie from work, and chavah, and a good time was had by all. The show was really cool. His band is great, and they played a variety of songs, from the JT standards like "Carolina in My Mind" (huge crowd fave, obviously) and "Mexico" to all kinds of covers of r&b and country songs, of course many of which were also ( Read more... )

Yay! It's almost time to go home. Tonight's the James Taylor concert. And the Lost season finale. Sigh. When we bought these tickets months ago, it really didn't occur to me that Lost would not have already ended by May 29th. We will DVR it, of course, but I hate having to wait and watch it 24 hours later than everyone else. Of course I'll ( Read more... )

The saga of the Thursday night TV shows is finally over. My Name is Earl and 30 Rock were shown yesterday afternoon, so we watched them. 30 Rock- OMG- that show is so awesome- Frank & I are very confused about why we have not been watching it all along. Then we DVRed Scrubs and The Office while we went out to dinner. We had dinner with ( Read more... )

I suppose I'm the only person under the age of 60 who has stocked up on Forever stamps in advance of the postal rate increase on Monday. I know, I know...stamps? GTFO you dinosaur! I got 8 books today. 2 books are to use for Pride-related business, and the other 6 are for myself. I don't really use stamps for bills anymore (most of them are set ( Read more... )

So, did anyone pull any good pranks? Or have any played on them? When I got to work I told Frank I forgot to let Captain Crunch out of his carrier before I left the house(he has to eat in there because of his special food), but he saw right through me! Although I did fool him with this news article: "Green Acres Remake Set in Charlotte"I ( Read more... )

I hope everyone is enjoying Halloween so far. We aren't wearing costumes at work this year, but I am wearing an all-black outfit with leopard accents, and a Halloween pin, so I'm still festive. Tonight I will be prepared with candy in case any trick or treaters come by. Last year I only had 2, but a family moved in a few houses down with 4 kids, ( Read more... )

Last night I went to see Kate Bornstein, the transgender activist/author/performance artist. She was very entertaining, yet thought-provoking at the same time. Listening to her definitely makes you think about the concept of gender in different ways. Then there was a book-signing afterwards, so I bought a copy of one of her older books, and had ( Read more... )
