Ever have a weekend sneak up on you that you intended to be quiet and peaceful and ended up being hectic and exhausting? Yeah, me either. For some reason, I had thought this weekend would be fairly mundane and routine. We had Caleb’s soccer game on Saturday morning, and that was pretty much it. We […]
My new cell phone
I’m lucky enough to have a company cell phone, and my lease is up on my current phone, the one with the cracked display panel. So, I’m getting a new one. I opted to pick up an LG Cherry Chocolate. I know it isn’t the sexy geek gadget du jour, like an iPhone or a […]
Babies everywhere!
So, while we were all busy congratulating Robert Scoble on the birth of his baby Milan–likely the first ever Twittered birth–another baby was being born. My friends Travis and Mandy had their first child born at 9:45 this morning. I got to see the little guy briefly over my lunch break today. His name is […]
Three-day weekend!
Gotta love our Labor Day weekend. Let’s celebrate working by not! I’ve got a lot of Metroid on the plate for the weekend, obviously, with a picnic on Monday, provided the father-in-law opts out of visiting. I never know how those sort of things are going to end up. I just let the wife plan […]
I feel ‘ugh’. That’s my mood, right there: ‘ugh’
I have discovered a brand new back pain up near my neck that made it impossible to be upbeat last night. That combined with an entire family of cold sufferers and me feeling on the horrendous side of miserable kept me from being able to play Metroid last night. Can you get withdrawal symptoms after […]
My Begindergartener
By the way, tomorrow, Caleb starts “Begindergarten”. That’s what they call pre-K in this school district. This bears repeating. My first born son. Starts. School. Tomorrow. There aren’t enough clever IM-based acronyms to convincingly communicate this sense of complete and utter disbelief. My son is going to school. I submit to you that he is […]
Iowa State Fair
Last Monday, Amanda, myself, and Amanda’s mother all gathered up the boys and several backpacks filled with supplies and trekked out to the Iowa State Fair. It’s a yearly pilgrimage, and a welcome one at that. I feel as though this year we didn’t get to see everything we would have liked. While we got […]
I gots muh ears lower’d!
Hair. Short. It hasn’t been this short in EVER. Evidence below. Yeah. That’s short.
Finished Harry Potter, 1:30am
Completely NON-spoilerific post. Promise. I knew when I hit chapter 25 at around 9pm last night, that I would have no choice but to keep going from that point until the very last word of the book. The word I uttered upon closing the novel: “damn.” There’s a lot contained within that one simple word. […]
This town needs an enema!
That’s my favorite line from any Batman movie, ever. Ok, so I’ve gone back to Evil Avatar. I just can’t help it. Every time I think I can break the habit, I get drawn back in via some interesting discussion, or some news I just feel the need to post there. By the way, I’m […]
