I wish beastbriskett was still here. I sure could use a talk with him right now.

I've been pretty busy the last couple of weeks. The last full week of October I re-packaged and pushed out the client software for the first of two upgrades to our radiology system. The success rate was 87 percent (over 9500 computers successful) and management was pretty pleased. Great timing too since my review is due this month :) Still ( Read more... )

I went to the gym early this morning (I woke up for the last time at a quarter to five... grrr) and had a fairly good workout. Bench wasn't as good as I wanted but I kept pushing through despite my shoulder. After coming home and having Second Breakfast I got cleaned up to head out for a hike. Todd and I headed out to Laguna and did our usual ( Read more... )

I was actually in the gym 4 times this past week. I don't think I've been in that many times in a single week since... just before I moved down here seven years ago! I owe the motivation to my "mini trip" last weekend ( Read more... )

I lost a friend today. After 29 years he's suddenly gone.

**************************************************************I laid their on the bed, curled up and shaking. Not too long before I got that feeling something wasn't right and I was going to be sick. I tried ignoring it at first, as I usually did, hoping that if I just didn't pay ( Read more... )

I used to be quite skeptical of the "adult" fairy tale remakes. Some of them just went too horror and cheap-evil-spin-off. This weekend thought I wanted to buy Snow White and the Huntsman and while I was there I saw Red Riding Hood and decided to pick it up too since it looked like it would be decent ( Read more... )

This post may sound odd given my stance on work in previous posts, but previous posts shouldn't have made work sound negative ( Read more... )

Mother nature has decided to take summer from various parts of the US and bring it to San Diego. It's forecasted to reach 97 on Friday! WTF! The humidity has been pretty bad the last several days, too. Right now it's 81%, although only 71 degrees so it's too bad although you do feel it in the air. I wish the humidity would go away, and then ( Read more... )

Even though I have my reservations ( which I explained here), I'm starting to get pretty excited about the release of part 1 for The Hobbit. I'm going to start re-reading it here within the next month or so. I read this book faster than any of the others as I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed the others a lot too, but this one is the easiest of them ( Read more... )

I'm too tired to type out a full post so here's the ol' bullet post...

• Had a great time at a pool party this past weekend; only "pride" thing I did
• I hatched some sea monkeys, but only one survived beyond the first 3/4 days :( ... My buddy Jeff got me a new set for my birthday! I'll try not to kill those :/
• Work is still going along alright
• I ( Read more... )
