[Mike]: Do you need a hard drive logic board for anything?

[K8mnstr]: Can I use it to make a bomb?

[Mike]: Why would hard drive components explode?

[K8mnstr]: ... is it made by Maxtor?

[Mike]: Actually, it is...

One of the reasons I love Mike is because of the seamlessly easy witty banter we share. A great example of that happened earlier today while we were watching some documentary on female serial killers. This one woman in particular had stabbed her husband 37 times before sautéing and eating a chunk of him.

So, I've been engaged a whole two days and I'm already overloaded with wedding day madness. I've always wanted a Fall wedding (it's my favorite season) and most of our family and friends live in Florida, which really gives us the option of a pseudo-summer wedding style. But there are a million things to even consider when planning a wedding ( Read more... )

I haven't made many public updates lately. For some odd reason I can't get my twitter-to-LJ feed to post publicly because of my default security settings, which isn't so big of a deal as anyone can follow my twitter hereI've been insanely busy during April, visiting 12 colleges throughout the month, working (at least partly) still at the ( Read more... )

Wow, I cannot believe it has been almost a whole month since I've made any kind of update. I've been insanely busy since The Real World: Brooklyn ended and my first college tour kicked off April 1st. So busy, in fact, that I had to quit my job up at the University of Montana as the Assistant Director of IT; jet setting doesn't necessarily jive ( Read more... )

Mike and I move into our new downtown apartment in three weeks, and I cannot begin to tell you how excited I am; I will finally have a sense of normalcy and routine here in Montana.  This past year has been rough crashing in his one bedroom, and he really has been amazing in trying to clear up space for me to make it my home too, but it has just ( Read more... )

So I was 'working' here at the 'office' yesterday and I came across what is possibly one of the sweetest monitor display rigs in the entire multiverse; dual 32" monitors... sitting in a closet. Had it been a closet in the department I head up IT for, those sexy BAMFs would be mine, and life would be good and the people would rejoice ( Read more... )

I don't usually post viral videos, but this one had me on the floor. Seriously, my ROFLcopter went woosh, woosh, woosh.

Is it just me or does all preaching sound like that? I joke, I joke.

Every year I devise a book list for summer reading.  It's developed into somewhat of a habit or passive hobby of mine.  Last year's list was primarily light reading due to my endeavors out in Brooklyn and Thailand, because sometimes the best knowledge comes from life experiences instead of textbook knowledge ( Read more... )

So, Mike and I found our new apartment. It's a 2/2, just shy of 1,000 sq feet. All in all our total individual monthly bills aren't going to change by more than $100 or so. The new place has stucco/knock-down walls and ceilings, gorgeous marbleized formica with real wood accents (it is Montana, after all), and the carpet is a pretty shade of ( Read more... )
