I decided to register on NaNoWriMo and write a novel from scratch this month, in order to provide some competition for my girlfriend, who has been in a panic mode as to what to write starting tomorrow morning ( Read more... )

I was very tired today. I woke up at 1:00 this morning from an asthma attack coupled with congestion on the left side of my nose. I had gone to bed at 8:30, but didn't manage to sleep altogether all that well after waking up to cough. This is the second night this week that I seem to be having allergy problems, and I suspect it stems from being ( Read more... )

I think that's been over a decade since I went out on a real date.

That's pathetic, isn't it?

I have yet to finalize the details, but the lady in question has agreed to go on a date, her schedule permitting. For details about her, see my previous post.

This afternoon, I'm supposed to take an hour of leave to catch an earlier ferry, so that I'll be able to make it to a happy hour session at the Yacht Club Broiler with my commuter group. I suspect that we'll be done by seven if not by six, depending on how many show up.

I'm wondering if I should pop into Boston from June 3rd through June 8th to see folks.  I finally managed to check the blasted Alaska Airlines website (new software with bugs, slow lag times, yada, yada, yada,) and I have more than enough miles to fly peak directly to Boston.

Also, thanks to my long stay in New York, I have way more than enough ( Read more... )

The wedding of robvagle and seventorches was lovely. I am proud to have been a participant in this celebration of matrimony. The wedding planner kept flirting with yehoshua all night, the three brides minions ( zotz, katspaw156, and yehoshua ) performed their roles magnificently, and merriment abounded. (Of the guests/participants present, I should mention those who I've met and those who I've ( Read more... )

I was flipping channels this morning waiting for the Legion of Super Heroes to come on, and I caught Ameer Haleem on VH1's Countdown describing a performer who grew up in Ravensdale, Washington, and is living in Seattle. The next video up was Brandi Carlile with The Story ( Read more... )

I saw Equus last night. I feel sorry for Richard Griffiths, as I don't think that he has more than five to six years left to live at his current girth. The play enabled him to sit for most of it, and he didn't have to speak through the whole thing. While he is a phenomenal actor, the theater patron next to me advised me that his movie studio had ( Read more... )
