Just got back from anabsolutly awesome They Might Be Giants concert. It was Karen's first time seeing them and the show was amazing. They had a brass section with them so they played a lot of songs they normally wouldn't live and they did some others that I've heard live before but are just so much more awesome with the horns. Birdhouse in your ( Read more... )

First things first, thank you everyone for your little notes and congratulations. I cannot wait to introduce you all to Karen. Plans are just starting to be formed but we're looking at a fall wedding, probably mid October. More info as we get it. Anyway, I've posted photos of our trip on facebook. For those of you who aren't on there let me ( Read more... )

Hello everybody!!!! So I have returned from abroad. England was amazing. we had some problems getting there at first... our plane to New York was delayed two hours which made us miss our flight to London... which of course was the last flight of the night. Long story short, we got there half a day after we had planned to. So then we spent 3 ( Read more... )

So tomorrow I leave for England where I'll be for a whole week. I would have mentioned this before but well... there were some problems with passports. Not mine, mine got here a good month ago. Karen's passport on the other hand... I wont go into detail about all the trials and tribulations but we finally got it... yesterday. Cutting it close? ( Read more... )

Last Saturday Karen and I went up to Boston for an early birthday celebration for me and a real birthday celebration for Mike. We missed the BSO concert we were going to but got to walk around the Museum of Fine Arts for a while which was lots of fun. There's way too much stuff there to do in one day. We're definitely going to go back a few more ( Read more... )

This is mainly for Adam, Colin, Shira, and Caroline and anyone else who's actually read A Game of Thrones (or any other A Song of Ice and Fire books) and if you haven't read them you should go read them now ( Read more... )

I have a prediction for everyone: 2007 is going to be an absolutely amazing and wonderful year. I feel this in my gut with absolute certainty. So I would wish you all a Happy New Year but I feel that such a wish is irrelevant, your new year will be happy if I wish it to be so or not. So enjoy this coming year, ignore the minor annoyances of life ( Read more... )

I take the GRE tomorrow at noon, yeah. I think I'm gonna do pretty well. Math I got down pat, verbal will probably be slightly lower than what I did on SATs but whatever I should be fine. The writing section should be interesting. I think I'll do alright but I think it's really all going to come down to what topics I get. Anyway, wish me luck.

I just saw the movie "The Ringer" (Tronster had it on while I was making dinner) which was a movie that, when I saw the previews, I immediately decided I would never see. For those of you who don't remember or never saw these previews here's a little reminder. A guy, Steve, decides that he is going to rig The Special Olympics by entering as a ( Read more... )

I was discussing movies and movie music recently. Good soundtracks, great composers etc. The thought crossed my mind that Michael Kamen (who did such works as Mr. Holland's Opus, X-Men 1, and Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves) hasn't really done anything recently. Or at least I couldn't think of anything he's done. So I just went on IMDB to see ( Read more... )
