Wow. It’s been about two months since I’ve posted to my own blog. I always thought of myself as a chatty Cathy but for a while i’ve been…what’s the word I’m looking for?…oh, yeah! I’ve been lazy. Not just lazy but also a tad empty headed. I have the utmost respect for my friends who […]

I don't think my cat, Cleo, is going to be with me much longer. I'm waiting for Angela to come home so we can make some hard decisions. # I just said my final goodbye to my little cat, Cleo. # Well, that went well… (@ U.S. Department of Commerce) http://4sq.com/7uoxZG # Lunch with some […]

For some reason Newport News smells like rotting cantaloupes. # My distaste for SQL statements grows on a daily basis. # Using the double doors helps keep the temperature consistent inside the entrance. (@ Innovation Hall – George Mason University) # Going out for drinks with Mike Hendricks. This can only end badly. # Scotch? […]

I just unlocked the "Local" badge on @foursquare! http://4sq.com/c3VcF7 # Still here with no power.

Someone had the bright idea to take bikram yoga class. I thought it was only an hour. It was two. I think I'm going to die. # Bringing Cleo to the Hope Center for further investigation. She hobbles around the house these days and she falls over everything 🙁 # Still here. (@ The Hope […]

I checked in at Cracker Barrel Old Country Store (10801 Battleview Pkwy) on #Yelp http://bit.ly/bVEM1H # I opened the door to truck and hit my head, causing me to bite my tongue & drop my laptop on my foot # Headed to work until 2 then headed downtown # I bet you can't guess who […]

In honor of Independence Day I'm about to watch new episodes of the BBC's 'The IT Crowd' and 'Top Gear'. # How is it my wife is the only person I know who can have a cooked shrimp explode in her face and all over me? # 100 degrees outside. 68 degrees in my office. […]

Hooray for hot weather and slow, crowded trains. (@ Metro Center Metro Station w/ 2 others) http://4sq.com/45ULSQ # Dang. Hot! (@ Union Station w/ 14 others) http://4sq.com/2Y0Sxw # AAAAGH!

Considering forming a jazz trio consisting of a Tibetan throat singer, a vuvuzela and a didgeridoo. # Dang it. I keep getting job offers outside of the 50 mile radius of where I want to work. # SOMEONE NEEDS TO BE FIRED! There are no honey buns in the vending machine!! # I cannot wait […]

Oooh, Top Gear returns on June 27th! http://www.finalgear.com/news/2010/06/07/top-gear-back-june-27th/ # Nothing says "I'm living the high life" like chasing your dog around the house to shave his butt # @kellyaquinn iPhone 4?

Hurray for World Cup Football! http://dcist.com/2010/06/world_cup_fans_can_get_their_drink.php # Oh, the pain. It hurts. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lb1E42BT0bs # That's an interesting looking stick my dog Jinx has in her mouth. Or is it a vine? Some rope? What was I thinking?it's a SNAKE!!

Hang in until the end of this video. Try to persevere through the ‘Blair Witch’ camera handling.

You’ll never see a cat do that

Interesting how people paranoid about Facebook have pounded http://www.reclaimprivacy.org/ and caused a quota overflow for that account # Planning to be in Chicago either 8/27 – 28 (Sox v. Yankees) or 9/3 – 9/4 (Cubs v. Mets). Let me know if anyone wants to take a field trip! # I love it when SysAdmins can't […]

I was online with Clare today and we started discussing video games. She was telling me how she & Travis hook up online and play Capcom’s Resident Evil 5. This is the horror video game that takes place in Africa Clare: Oh its TOTAL freak out Me: *shudder* Clare: but Clare: ill do for you […]

You know, it’s hard to believe that I’ve been writing in this blog for the past 5 years. It is interesting looking back and seeing what I wrote, how I was and how I’ve changed. Even during a brief span of 5 years I can see how things can wear you down and make you […]

Betty White on SNL last night. I love Betty White 🙂 # I'm driving to Philadelphia tomorrow and I just realized: I don't know how to drive to Philadelphia. # I just made it to Philly. I've got my room, my registration and only forgot one thing: Angela's security brochures. Doh. # In room Wifi […]

Tuesday I spent Tuesday sitting through meetings, consuming anything that had caffeine and coordinating schedules with Matt. After his bar ninja routine from the previous night I thought that he’d be ready to completely run roughshod over Philadelphia. Luckily, that wasn’t the case. Still feeling the effects of, uh, being lame, Matt wanted to keep […]

I’m sitting here at my desk after having just returned from the symposium that I went to in Philadelphia. As many people who are participants of conferences know – work in the day, party at night. This was no exception. And, as we all know, I’m somehow a magnet for both a good time as […]

I'm feeling antsy. It's like an alert telling me that I should redo my resume in order to satisfy my need to challenge myself. # Off to take Bunny for laser butt therapy # @spencerwiggins Old people like to print stuff. in reply to spencerwiggins # @spencerwiggins Ah. In those instances you should provide a […]

I have recently been told that I should consider anti-depressants and I don’t know how to take that. All of my life I’ve lived a certain way and it has never, ever required me to take drugs to change the way I think. I normally think taking drugs as a sign of weakness. For instance, […]

Bringing Bunsen in for laser therapy this morning. I don't think it is the same thing Angela had done a while ago. # With Bunny while he gets zapped. Who knew the laser device doesn't look like the Death Star?! # The hair is growing back on Bunny's surgically repaired hind quarters. My dog has […]

Design work. Programming. Blah, blah, blah. I do a lot of it during off-peak hours. When it comes to doing other people’s work and projects, I’m pretty much on the ball. When it comes to my own stuff…man, I can get lazy. Here’s a good case in point: my own portfolio. Currently, I’ve got a […]

I just played the 60 Second Brain Game to support the Wounded Warrior Project! @PositScience http://bit.ly/bt05qN #socialvibe # Awww. I remember acquiring some Vegas Robainas and they were quite enjoyable. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/8627864.stm # At Nationals stadium taknf a piss. I wish the Geico lizzard wasn't making that gestur with his hand http://yfrog.com/f19z1j # I think I […]

I adore Olivia Munn (Wikipedia, imdb). She’s the kind of woman you’d like to just hang out with, drink a few beers, tell a few fart jokes and possibly get into a bar fight with. She’s good looking but not the unapproachable type. What’s even better is that she’s so down to earth. Who cares […]

Just watched "How To Train Your Dragon". Only disorienting thing was the number of Vikings with Scottish accents # Dang it. Adobe CS5 launches tomorrow. There's another $2500 that will be burned. # @shiricki That tv show – the original Japanese version – always made me laugh. The old man taking out his teeth & […]
