I do not tend to get headaches.  One of the blessings of my life.  I've got one building now, though.  Registration deadline is this afternoon for any student that wants to attend the week on campus in January.  And they all are emailing to change their courses, or register in the first place (it's been open to registration for over a month now).  ( Read more... )

Yeah.  Okay.  Where to start....

A few weeks back (almost a month, now) Mom, Shell and I headed up to Cleveland to see Jason Ross's solo show.  We were trying to work in some downtown shopping beforehand, but Tower City had nothing left in it anymore.  So disappointing.  After doing laps around Tower City to kill time, we walked over to Fat Fish ( Read more... )

Not much has been going on. Just the same old stuff… work, home, work, see some friends, work, see the parentals, blahblahblah.

So I guess I just wanted to update, I’m still alive, but without any funny stories or huge work disasters to tell.

I do love my friends, and social gatherings, and baked lays, and the last Steelers game. I enjoyed the ( Read more... )

At least we are according to a study at Forbes.com   Um, go blue collar, Iron City guzzling yinzers ( Read more... )

So on the 25th I had Birthday Breakfast with Sarah and Gen, and stopped by to see Homeboy. Then I headed to the airport and attempted to go the super nice, semi-secret back way, but the ramp was closed so I ended up doubling back and going the not -so-secret way. But I arrived in Jersey with no problems other than the wait for my bag to come up ( Read more... )

I hate with a fiery passion the fire alarm in Kristin's building.  On and off for over two hours now.  Fire truck has been here twice.  HATE.

I'm going to finally take my shower now.  So much for going into the City today.  I need a drink. 

I'm loving:

* Kristin and her assorted friends
* Walking for hours in the City
* Butch Walker and his awesomeness, and his go-go dancers
* Being a Hoboken Restaurant Week Whore
* The fact that I have two people plotting my social activites while I'm here.  Cute.
* New shoes
* Puppies
* Not choking from laughter
* having a bed to crash in every night ( ( Read more... )

I'm thankful for:

* parents who take pity on their children
* swimming pools
* air conditioning
* tomatoes with fresh mozzarella
* roasted marshmallows
* being the hit of the baby shower gifts
* cherries
* Johnny Depp and all his hotness
* Butch Walker's Queen Medley
* cute haircuts
* standing invite to weekly cookout
* knowing this time next week I ( Read more... )

Shell and I drove down to Morgantown Friday night for the second Lucero show.  We liked the venue... three rooms, two with bars.  We headed to the upper room for drinks as we got there before the opener played.  Sat my happy ass down next to Brian, the guitarist, and we proceeded to have a lovely conversation about the Detroit/Pittsburgh game on tv ( Read more... )

Lucero show tonight. SO excited. Plus it may erase some of the blah-ness that was Jackie Greene's World Cafe interview I saw on Saturday. His music is superb.. his actual interview is meh. And then when I met him later that night.. it was bland. I was tempted to ask him to send out his guitarist, cause that guy was a) Hott and b) looked as if he ( Read more... )
