So I was sick pretty much all weekend, most of which was spent on the couch watching the various iterations of HBO we get with our cable. Now I was already sick and not entirely with it, but the many-headed HBO beast wasn't helping. See, we have four different HBOs, plus the corresponsing west coast versions.

A couple of weeks ago Hannah and I decided to get some fish.

Hannah and I had a sort of Christmas-y morning yesterday -- went to the Universal tent sale and then the Winter Wonderland at Veranda Park -- and on the way we stopped at Publix to use the ATM.  Inside, they had one of those trees where you pull an angel or a scroll off of it and get a gift for the kid on it.  Since we were in the holiday spirit, ( Read more... )

No, don't get your hopes up, this isn't going to be a Penthouse Forum letter or anything, I'm just throwing off a quick entry while I'm at work.  I technically shouldn't be online, but there's absolutely nothing going on (there's a special event in the park and we're essentially babysitting) so I figure they owe me ( Read more... )
