Monday. Ughh. Nothing really of consequence was supposed to happen today…..and nothing of consequence did. I worked out on the elliptical for about 30 minutes before Melody got home, and then I cooked dinner. On the menu was faux kielbasa hoagies with peppers, onions, garlic. It was okay…i mean, i had to season the hell [ Read More ]

Today Melody and I went to see the new movie 127 Hours, starring James Franco. Knowing that it was based on a true story made it even more interesting to me, after i saw the trailer a few months ago. It was a pretty intense movie. It was extremely well done, only 90 minutes long, [ Read More ]
Today I got up pretty early to watch the FA Cup, and then before lunch I had a much needed exercise appointment with my friends (Jason Austin, Garrison Locke) at the racquetball court (at NC State). We played for just over 90 minutes, which was a fairly good workout, even though the games weren’t as [ Read More ]
Today at work I spent some time learning about a command line utility that will make my life so much easier. It’s a module for Drupal (the content management system that i spend a lot of my time on), and it makes a lot of the administrative tasks much easier and quicker. The first thing [ Read More ]
One of the latest “fun” stories in the news, is about how someone made the outrageous claim that Fox News compares Democrats (and anyone else they don’t like), to Nazi / Nazi Germany. Of course, the talking heads on Fox denied ever making such a shocking comparison. Here’s the problem though….they’re on television….and even if [ Read More ]
It’s been 24 hours, and i’ve had a little time to digest the State of the Union, as well as the follow up speeches by the Republicans and the other Republicans (aka the Tea Party). I’ve deliberately tried to avoid watching or listening to a lot of pundits, because I think that can have a [ Read More ]
Tonight was the State of the Union speech by President Obama, and then following were the two, yes two, responses from the Republicans and Tea Party. I have some initial thoughts, but i’ll wait until tomorrow to fully describe what i thought about it. First off, I’m glad that I watched the State of the [ Read More ]
The show called “An Idiot Abroad” just started airing this week, and it’s awesome. Damn funny. Simple as that. It’s about Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant sending their “simple” friend Karl Pilkington around the world with a film crew. Karl has a childlike wonder, a naive innocence, and an unintentional racism when it comes to [ Read More ]
Nothing eventful today, so I went outside for a run. Melody had left town for a few hours to see a friend, so i headed out to run at least a few miles. Here’s the route I took: It took me just barely over 30 minutes, which is totally okay by me. I actually enjoyed [ Read More ]
On Friday’s, my friends and I usually head out from the office and go to lunch away from campus. Today, we hit up one of our favorite joints, Chubby’s Tacos, over off Lake Pine in Raleigh. They have the biggest damn burritos i’ve seen, and they are freakin’ delicious. I get the “basic” burrito, which [ Read More ]
