Nummy
Christened the new BBQ last night with some steaks. What a difference a BBQ makes! Best steak I've had in a very long time (probably since the last time I had BBQ steak...).
Can't wait to use it again, maybe tonight if the rain holds off. -
Ramblings
I went into this weekend fearing the worst at work, but amazingly, while it certainly wasn't a great one, it was better than expected. "Better than I thought and worse than I hoped" was the line I used earlier today. It was grad weekend, so I figured that we'd be royally screwed, but we weren't, so while I did a bunch of grunt-work that I don't ( Read more... ) -
Flashback
I had a ton of comics from my youth that were stolen about four years ago. I hadn't collected in years, but I'd dig out a run of Alpha Flight or X-Men or Firestorm or Batman and read through what I had of the series of choice every 6 months to a year.

Perfection
Gorgeous weather, a deck chair, great music playing, late dinner cooking, and Tam and a little 2 year old angel playing, with Marikko drawing on the ground with chalk on our back deck.
This is why I bought this place. -
Happy Birthday, Star Wars!
I didn't see Star Wars when it initially came out, but did see it before Empire released (I was 7 or 8, I think, since my brother came with us as well, and he's two years younger). My family had stayed at my Aunt's over Xmas one winter, and my cousin, Mike (three years older than me), took his little cousins to see this cool movie. We were all ( Read more... ) -
The End of Good TV
Last night, I finally saw the finale of Jericho, a show I came to midseason (thank you Internet), and became a big fan of. And tonight brings the end of Veronica Mars, another great show that I've watched from day 1 ( Read more... )
