Disneyland 2010
We went to Disneyland at the beginning of the most awesome trip ever. This recollection is brought to you courtesy of Foursquare. I checked in just about everywhere I spent significant time attending, so I have a “running commentary” of things I did!
Preparing to Leave for New Orleans
I have spent all weekend with the college bowl team. On Friday we went to the Newseum, which is much better than the old one that was in Arlington. It’s a full-day excursion now, and I recommend seeing it all in one day because the $20 admission is a bit steep. Friday night my wife … Continue reading
Everybody’s Going Home
Everybody is going home for the holiday. One of my friends asked me if I was staying in town, and I said “um…I live here, so…yes. And my family lives here.” I am going to have dinner with my family on Thursday. I am kind of envious of all my friends making travel plans and … Continue reading
Happy Halloween 2007!
Happy Halloween 2007!, originally uploaded by woofiegrrl. I had a great time wearing my white contacts to school today. The first person I saw was the girl who works in the bookstore, and she said I should go there for the costume contest.

Last night I downloaded the Borat movie to watch on the bus to New York (we have a headphone splitter), and then this morning I tried to download a movie that :A: wanted to see, but for some reason it wouldn’t download. I tried … Continue reading
Want to Buy
Geeking ensues, then some philosophical stuff. I want to spend money! I think I am going to get the wireless headphones via Amazon. Unfortunately they come from a seller who charges almost $12 for shipping, but it’s still better than finding it slightly cheaper on eBay and having to pay out-of-pocket. As long as I … Continue reading
Hanukkah at Work
It’s December again, and Xmas decorations are popping up all over. My aisle has some tinsel and ornaments on a few cubes, the next aisle over has ornaments on every cube. The flowers in the planters in the hallway are now red with green leaves, the door-decorating contest is in full swing, and there’s a … Continue reading
