No, no, no... I'm not having some sort of inappropriate relationship. I just happened to have went to the Chicago Auto Show on Saturday. Andrea had a bunch of work to do (I suppose that I do, too, actually) so she stayed home and I went with Ed. The roads around South Bend predictably sucked, and did even moreso Sunday. However, also predictably, ( Read more... )

It's almost Thanksgiving. But not quite. Weeks ago, however, my aunt had decided that we were going to have a Thanksgiving dinner today. My grandpa fell ill last Saturday (I think) and was in the hospital until Thursday. I was stuck in Philly, so as soon as I got back to South Bend, I took care of what needed to be addressed immediately (including ( Read more... )

Well, I'm finally in my hotel room in Philly. Josh and I had quite a trip, somehow getting here at the same time. We were supposed to both fly out on a Northwest flight at 8:00. Mechanical failure left us with no plane, and we'd miss our connection in Detroit by the time we got one. So, we all had to leave the terminal and go rebook at the check-in ( Read more... )

So, I was amused that when I got up this morning, the TiVo was on the Travel Channel. And the show was called "Deep Fried Paradise". Mmmm. It's am hour long. I'm recording it to watch later. How fantastic. Interestingly, the Food Network is the next channel in the lineup here, which has Paula Deen on. She is apparenlty making a roasted turkey. C' ( Read more... )

OK, so I couldn't really think of an appropriate subject for this entry. I'm really just too tired and lazy to think, period. I plan to double (or triple!) the amount of sleep I've gotten in the last 43 hours. I've slept three hours (spread over two occasions) since I got up Thursday morning. Whee. On the bright side, I'm not pulling another all- ( Read more... )

And I wondered if I was really the only one thinking this. I'm not disputing the final outcome, I'm just saying the media is so quick to proclaim victory. Don't they remember what happened in 2000? I'm actually surprised they waited to "officially" call IN, MO, NC.

Figures that I'm about to go to bed, and even though (nearly all of) the polls in Indiana have been closed for 5.5 hours, and Obama has been announced our President-Elect... Indiana is still not colored in. It's close. But it looks like it should go O.

It's delicious. And accompanied by fun online.

There is something that I've been wondering if it is pure coincidence or not.  Every YouTube video that people have linked in their Facebook, GMail status, or AIM status regarding McCain supporters saying something incredibly ignorant, whether it be general or specifically anti-Obama, seems to take place in Ohio. I guess Ohio is a big constituency ( Read more... )

Mmmm. Yuengling Porter. AND Jack 'n' Zero.
