We spent a solid few hours last week looking through music to find something ideal for each section of the wedding. I never even thought to search for instrumental and/or karaoke versions of some of my favorites. Along the way, we found The String Quartet/Vitamin String Quartet and holy cow, I’m in love. My favorite [...]
I’ve been talking about it forever, but this last week I finally called Mediacom and shut off our cable service. It was like a 7 minute conversation and I thought I’d gotten off way easier than I was expecting. Should’ve known. Let it be known that the rep I talked to knew exactly what was [...]
Alright, so I have this customer who comes in about once every two weeks. He buys one 1x4x8 and one 2x4x8 and laughs saying, “I’m building my house one board at a time!” That’s all he’ll say about what he’s doing. We’re all working on theories as to what he’s actually doing. Some think he’s [...]
Big changes coming my way. Scratch that. They’re not coming. I’m bringing them. I’m not ready to divulge. I still have a need to remain vague, but for the first time I feel positive about things and it’s not going to last very long so I wanted to sort of document that, I guess. I’m [...]
Once upon a time I had an overabundance of blank DVDs just sitting around the apartment. I didn’t buy any of them. I don’t even know where they all came from, but there was half a stack here, half a stack there– they were just all over the place. So when someone wanted a file [...]
Some very specific people at work are making me want to pull my hair out. There’s one associate who will only work a specific number of hours a week. If they’re scheduled more than that, they call out or show up late to adjust down to that number. This same employee is late absolutely every [...]
Speaking of media trends and Alice in Wonderland– I’m excited about the surge in 3D movies. I was highly impressed with the way 3D was used in Avatar– it was more about bringing the environment in the new world to life than throwing things in your face. It was absolutely gorgeous! Of course, there’s something [...]
Wow, I’m a week late, but did you guys know Chuck Norris turned 70 last Wednesday??? Freakin’ 70!! We were actually just talking about the Chuck Norris facts last week at work and were trying to figure out when that all started. Do you know what you get when you go to Google and type [...]
I finally decided to start looking at new keyboards. I’m still using the one that came with my old eMachine and that computer got tossed long ago. My system is totally custom, I have my own monitors, my freaking amazing MX Revolution mouse (which, a year later, I still love) and I’m still using the [...]
Speaking of weird songs played at work…. [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Like a bike ride With a jet pack on my back. We got a moon-lit silhouette That rivals the best. Like a hay ride With hover jets on either side We’ll go the distance Cause we can’t help but to act [...]
