So a happy miserable Valentine's Day to everyone.  It took me an hour and a half to make the normally 40 minute drive to work this morning.  I also made the fun discovery that my car has "low traction" warning lights.  So when I'm skidding out of control off the road the car will be kindly reminding me that I've lost traction ( Read more... )

I need to start getting sleep at night.  This whole not sleeping like a normal person wears on you.  According to my math since Sunday night I have gotten a total of about 25 hours of sleep.  That only means I'm missing out on about 15 hours of sleep for the week ( Read more... )

Sunday I saw Pan's Labyrinth with Nick.  Not quite what we expected... still good though.  The antagonist in that movie (the Spanish captain that our heroine goes to live with) is pretty much the incarnation of evil ( Read more... )

Oh man... I just found out from a website I was on that the entire 6 game Space Quest series has been rereleased to run on Windows XP!  For those that don't know, the Space Quest games followed the exploits of Roger Wilco, a hapless janitor... in space... who went on wacky adventures.  It basically lampooned Star Wars and Star Trek mostly, although ( Read more... )

So Tuesday night I went to see "Curse of the Golden Flower" with Ross, Dickie, Nick, and Kyle.  It was not quite what we expected.  The trailers had deceived us.  First of all, with the way the emperor's palace looked I think this movie should have been called, "The Emperor and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Palace."  Seriously, that thing was ( Read more... )

So last Thursday night just after leaving work I stopped to get gas.  I then tried to turn my car back on after filling the tank but the car wasn't feeling it, no matter how hard I begged or pleaded.  So I had to have it towed to a garage nearby.  I also learned about the kindness of strangers when I pushed my car across the gas station parking lot ( Read more... )

So I've been tagged, and here is my tag-eriffic response ( Read more... )

I thought these were pretty funny.  This is from the "Top Bushisms of 2006" List...... see what I do all day at work?

"I would say the best moment of all was when I caught a 7.5 pound largemouth bass in my lake." --on his best moment in office, interview with the German newspaper Bild am Sonntag, May 7, 2006

"You know, one of the hardest parts ( Read more... )

So in lieu of my 25th birthday tomorrow my family had a party for me yesterday.  I had the coolest cake every.  A big Spiderman birthday cake!  Sweet!  Then I played Marvel Ultimate Alliance with Dan for a while and we watched Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut.  As expected the Richard Donner version is vastly superior to Lester's Superman II.  ( Read more... )

So at work I've been getting a little more responsibility, but they're still so laid back that I can linger on it like I do with the website filtering project.  It's great because it's something new, but I also am also dicking around just as much as before too.  Sweet action ( Read more... )
