  • My heart is going to explode one of these days. That, or I'll go postal on my dev machine and fling it, with great fury, from the roof of my building. I hate computers...The MS buildings are eerie at night. Most of the l…

  • Today was one of those days.... Like driving through a national parking on a beautiful sunny day... but you can't get out of the car... I'll be less vague... There is this OMFG-amazing redhead that works just down the ha…

  • I had a fantastic weekend. Kudos to Elaine. I now know of a good sushi place, and a good winery and brewery that are fairly close to my apartment. Now I know where to take all the ladies that I've been meeting! But serio…

  • Curious George and his gang of sexually explicit thieves and vandals.

  • Things I enjoyed today:P.F. Chang'sFlying 100 mph in a restored 1968 Firebird Convertible with the top down on a gorgeously sunny day.Blowing the doors off of our coworker in his Lexus.Getting flipped off by smiling cowo…

  • All those hours spent playing Guitar Hero 2 finally paid off. We partied tonight, and eventually got to playing GH1 on PS2... Which I've never played... but still, I had the group cheering as I nailed those riffs on hard…

  • What goes great with cereal, is a four letter word that begins and ends with consonants, and is not milk? (Hint: To avoid people guessing any number of profane words, I'll also tell you the middle two letters are "ee")I …

  • For anyone who has heard me ramble about Bioshock coming out... Yes, it really is THAT good...I don't know about this real job business.... One of the things I liked about school was the quarters, the breaks, the resets.…

  • If it weren't for having to take all those physics and systems classes, I would almost wish I had been an ME. It seems like all the MEs that do military work get to do the coolest stuff.I'm glad tomorrow is Monday. Every…

  • I just bought two new DVDs on a whim. Woo! Somebody stop me.Confession: When I am walking to my car, keys in hand, and other people are walking toward it (as might be the case in a parking lot), I like to unlock my car (…

  • Not going to lie. A large part of my motivation for my last post was just to get comments.

  • So much news flying around about the primaries. As one of this country's pampered elite (i.e. someone who actually worked my ass off for 22 years straight and shouldered $120,000 worth of debt to land a high paying job i…

  • BioShock was supposed to be released on the 21st (i.e. not today), but yet some stores released it today... Just not stores around here... It bothers me... Like when other kids have the newest toy and you don't... I can …

  • Wow. 14 shots of espresso. At 100mg of caffeine a piece, that's 1.4g of caffeine... in 4 hours... To compare, on my heavy days, I drink 8 diet mountain dews, at 55mg of caffeine a piece. That's 440 mg, or about a third o…

  • Maybe tomorrow is a better day

    I'm developing a real appreciation for Poets of the Fall. Do yourself a favor and torrent their CDs (you certainly won't find them on this continent otherwise). My favourite songs are Roses, All The Way/4U, Carnival of R…

  • 3AM we seem alright

    Personal Trainer is HOOOOOOOT. She also reminds me of my boss from eTap kind of (facial structure and mannerisms). At least this will make going to the gym easier.Life is just... meh. I was kind of glad that I beat mysel…

  • Pavement! Nom nom nom nom nom...

    Welcome to Good Music Friday. The first vid really isn't a vid... just good music. Emilie Autumn if you're curious. The second one is Poets of the Fall. Damn near impossible to find a legal copy of their music this side …

  • Did I mention that Global Warming EATS BABIES?!

    So at my gym, the Cardio Theatre I use has TVs lined up along the front with the sound for each on various radio signals. I listen to my own music, but I like to watch the silent TV anyway. Today Oprah was on, with Al Go…

  • We recently had a big... presentation I guess you'd call it, where all the people across our team got to see all the new features in action. It was pretty cool, I must admit... Too bad I can't tell you about those awesom…

  • I keep looking through my friends on Facebook and I wonder who the heck some of these people are. Then I realize that I do know them, they just changed their names because they've gotten married. It's the chic thing to d…

  • I've got my tour of the Pro Club today. They give new members tours, since the place is so friggin' huge (the largest fitness center in North America is what I heard, but I don't remember from where, so that may not be t…

  • New RAM rocks. Noticeable difference in performance. Hooray technology!I've been lazy lately. And then I remembered that I like roller blading! You ever just forget about one of your hobbies? I do that a fair amount... I…

  • New RAM on the way. By the weekend, I'll be up to 4GB. w00t.I'm going through my music and I kind of rediscovered Acceptance. It brings back sad memories. But I've been itching for some different music lately, and let's …
