I went to the doctor a week or two ago, and he said I was doing alright. And now wouldn’t you know it, I’m sick. I’ve been sick for about 24 hours now at least, and it’s no fun. Congestion, coughing, and sinus pressure. I am taking medicine, but of course that only gives me…
Netflix Watch It Now Works Well on Macs
This is probably old news to most of you, but I was pleasantly surprised to login to my Netflix account today and completely forgot that I was on my Mac, and I started to browse the Watch Instantly section and hit “Play” on the movie 21 – and it played! I believe the solution they…
Change Starts Today: Barack Obama 2009 Presidential Inauguration
We haven’t been too political around here lately, but today is the inauguration of Barack Obama as President of the United States of America. I just want to say, I’m really, really excited about what this presidency is going to mean to history. Not just because he’s the first african-american president we’ve ever had, but…
A New Semester Begins
It’s January 2009! Woo hoo! My birthday is in 12 days, I’ll be turning 26. I know in many eyes I’m still very young – including my own! But I feel like I’m getting older. Bills, a mortgage, grad school, a full-time job, a cat to look after, my father has passed away and my…

EDIT: If you’re reading this for information about helping me out with Grad School by donating, skip to the separator line about midway down. This first bit is just about my holiday.

Cracked.com: If the Movie ‘Twilight’ were 10x Shorter and 100x More Honest
Cracked.com has a great post up – I’ve seen these before for other movies, but since I’ve actually seen ‘Twilight’ and wasn’t that impressed, this gave me a good laugh. “Twilight” is a teen romance vampire movie based on a novel by Mormon author Stephanie Meyer, that is apparently sweeping the estrogen-filled nation. Hey, at…
Combo Breaker: Update
So I’ve neglected to write here for a while, primarily because I’ve been living life instead of blogging it (well, that’s not entirely true) – and partly because I have been experiencing a lot of stuff lately that I don’t want to post publically where just anyone can read it. I would do protected posts,…
Samuel Jackson / Mario Van Peebles 2012!
So, last night Barack Hussein Obama completely pwned John McCain in the United States of America Presidential Election. Everyone is talking about how great it is that it took our country 220+ years to get over racial barriers and elect an African-American to the Oval Office. I think it’s a great milestone, to be sure,…
Halloween ’08
Last night was a pretty good Halloween! Better than a lot I’ve had in the past. My friends & neighbors the Ellersicks hosted their annual party, and I was happy it was planned and I was invited before the IT folks got together and got out their invite. The IT crowd’s party is usually pretty…
