Enchanted
You know what? Surprisingly funny movie.
Definitely kept me up too late last night, though. -
new keg
Stella Artois!
Mmmm. Better out of a keg at home than a bar. -
A brief recap of Nats stadium
On Sunday my parents, brother, grandfather, and I went to the new Nationals stadium to watch the Nats play the Pirates. The Pirates are our "hometown team", the one we grew up watching, while Matt and I now root for the Nats, as our, uh, new, I guess, hometown team ( Read more... ) -
on writing
Writing is something that I constantly practice and yet lately I have gotten overly complacent about my mastery of the craft.
The problem is, I believe, that I've gotten too lazy towards using "conversational English" and grammar in my writing rather than trying my best to be careful of my grammar.
I had an amazing grammar teacher in high school. I ( Read more... ) -
not posted a lot
I know I haven't posted a lot lately.
Played some kickball last week - we lost, for the first time, but won in flip cup. This week I'm bringing the jello, and hopefully my cups I ordered show up today or I'm going to be really pissed off. I'd threatened to make absinthe and/or Sazerac jello shots, but probably won't...

Red Thunder by John Varley is the story of mankind's first trip to Mars. The Americans have launched their ship, a V-Star with a few ( Read more... ) -
and we're back
Got back late last night. Still recovering today.
Nothing like a nice long train delay!
But we had a ton of fun. Now to go through my Twitter blabs from the weekend and put together a write-up; I'll let Marshall handle the pretty pictures he took.
Here's the one picture I took - the view out of Ed and Frannie's window! SAY HELLO NEW JERSEY!

off to NYC
Bonjour, mon cherie, it is the time, as she may say, for me to head off on the locomotive...
Okay, I can't do that anymore. But I'm just about packed, I'm actually awake, and for the rest of the weekend I'll be in NYC with Ed and Marshall.
I may try to catch up on

Runo Knows...The Golden Globe
Unfortunately, though, the sequel to Steel Beach doesn't hold up quite as well.
To me, it feels like it's because of the general structure of the plot. A lot of spoilers are given away on the back of the book, to be honest. During the book, all we know to begin with is how the main character is a traveling con man/actor. As the book goes on, we ( Read more... )
