We Got a Wii.

Thursday, November 20th, 2008

We celebrated Corin's birthday with the family on Monday the 17th at her sister's house. Little did they know that their mom and step dad coordinated a birthday suprise with Erin's husband Andy and me. They bought the twins each a Wii and I got Corin a second set of ...

I’m Hooked on Final Crisis

Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

I've read all 4 of the main Final Crisis issues that have been released and my interest level has gone from zero to totally obsessed. Since reading them, I've bought: DC Universe #0, Final Crisis: Legion of Three Worlds #1-2, Final Crisis: Rage of the Red Lanterns, Final Crisis: Requiem, ...

Barack Obama is Our New President.

Tuesday, November 4th, 2008

Thank you America, you gave me the best birthday present I could ever hope for. Better late than never. Oh man, I can take a breath now. It's so hard to express what I'm feeling. This is the first time I've voted and me guy won. Not only won, won by ...

It’s My Birthday, I’m Gonna Party Like It’s My Birthday.

Monday, November 3rd, 2008

Today was my birthday and now I'm 31. I slept most of today recovering from Halloween and Saturday. We did manage to Golden Corral and Game Crazy. I ate steak, meatloaf, mash potatoes, the whole shebang. At Game Crazy I bought a copy of "New Super Mario Bros". I got: $70 in ...

Where Have I Been?

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

How is it that I haven't updated in since October 22nd? Eight fucking days! Everyday I make plans to post something, I get out of work, I get home, and...nothing. Well not really nothing. I get home and I get comfortable. I check my email and see what happened on ...

I’ve Been So Sick.

Wednesday, October 22nd, 2008

Today I return to work after roughly 4 days of bed rest. I'm healthy enough to do my job, but not comfortably. If I had my way, I'd ride out the rest of the week. I just took some of the Alka-Seltzer Plus daytime medicine, which seems to be the ...

Dieting is Not Enough.

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

It's taken all my life, but I've finally accepted that dieting is not enough for me to lose weight. I may lose a bit here and there, but it comes back and usually with more weight. No, nothing short of veganism -- I would love to go back to vegan, ...

Time for a General Update.

Friday, September 12th, 2008

I've been neglecting the blog lately. Posting isn't hard, but getting together coherent ideas that are at least interesting to me -- if not interesting to you folks -- is hard. Everyday, as boredom sets in at work, I come up with all sorts of ideas and projects. I generally ...

Getting Nothing Done.

Tuesday, August 26th, 2008

A year or two ago I learned of Getting Things Done by David Allen. It's a great book that lays out a step by step path to managing large amounts of tasks and using your time more productively. Podcast personality Merlin Mann talks at length about it at 43folders.com. It's ...

I Feel Like a Total Winner.

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

My van's engine has been clicking which tells me that it's low on oil. I'm pretty sure it has a slow oil leak, but I haven't investigated it. Anyway, on the way home I stopped at Walmart for some motor oil and snacks. I drove home and opened up the ...
