I love the Fox show 24! In the spring of 2003, I rented the first season and fell absolutely in love with the show. I lived by myself for the summer of 2003, and because that had set the bar so high for me for television, I didn't own a TV for most of the summer. I would watch Sopranos with my friends over their home, but that was it. I spent ( Read more... )

We moved from Phoenix to St. Paul in the last three weeks, barely got settled in, and then traveled to Ohio to visit family. I am so glad to be land-bound for a while!!! Our stress level has been higher, especially since my fiance is new to the Midwest. On some days she's okay, while on colder days her mood has gone sour. I think I'm doing a ( Read more... )

I'm at a point where something appears to be ending for me. I'm distraught, surprised, and stressed out about it.

But I know when one (or two) door closes, something else is usually waiting...

I am laying in bed relaxing after a good evening. I had a happy hour with a few of my fiance's co-workers, followed by playing two final chess games with one of my friend's daughters. She's preparing for a big scholastic tournament in Florida this coming weekend ( Read more... )

I'm glad that my fiance has been hard of hearing as of late. I asked her to get me a half-caf grande gingerbread latte, but all she heard was "half-caf." She brought me black coffee (which is my usual drink). I went back out to get the coffee I wanted ( Read more... )

I was listening to Air America's Unfiltered Show on the way into work this morning. Jeffrey Fogel, Legal Director with the Center for Constitutional Rights was being interviewed. I caught but a small part of the entire episode, but they were talking about Bush's attorney general nominee, Alberto Gonzalez. Like many of the decisions that the ( Read more... )

I just got home from my last night of chess at the Chess Emporium in Phoenix. In less than two weeks, I'll be moving with my family back to Minnesota (moving back for me, moving for them.) I've been in Phoenix most of this year, and it has been an extremely busy year. One of my favorite activities is playing in a weekly event every Tuesday night ( Read more... )
