I've lived in places where people can't drive in rain. I've lived in places where people can't drive in Snow. I think Baltimore is the first place I've lived where people struggle to drive in the sun. And in every other condition imagineable. But driving to work in the morning, there's a certain corner that has the sun right at about eye-level ( Read more... )

If you ever stop and ask yourself "How long does it take a person to eat 6 boxes of girl scout cookies?" and the person in question just happens to be me, I can tell you the answer is 4 weeks. Which is pretty scary to think about, considering it was near 200 cookies. And I only ate them at work. (meaning 20 days instead of 28). But surely it's ( Read more... )

okay, not much of a surprise here.

You fit in with:
Atheism

Your ideals mostly resemble those of an Atheist. You have very little faith and you are very focused on intellectual endeavors. You value objective proof over intuition or subjective thoughts. You enjoy talking about ideas and tend to have a lot of in depth conversations with people.

I think I've been avoiding writing in this thing because the vikings have been completely horrible. But the funny thing is, with only 2 wins so far, they're just a game out of first place in the NFC North. But the vikings, for a half yesterday, looked like they're actually ready to play again. It's funny, because they started playing well right ( Read more... )

Unfortunately, the vikings seem determined to prove me right in my evaluation, and stanford seems equally determined to prove me wrong. The vikings somehow managed to come out even flatter, and got completely owned by cinci. Stanford? well, they only managed to lose to D-I AA UC Davis. I guess Davis really is ready for Division 1. Or stanford ( Read more... )

As a continuation of what I said last, last weekend was partly good. Stanford won 41-38, and looked pretty good. The vikings, on the other hand, came out completely flat, and lost. After being unsure of what to expect out of Stanford for this year, I'm cautiously optimistic about the team's chances. Do I think they'll win the pac-10? Not ( Read more... )

I think I should write a book on things not to do immediately after giving blood. My qualifications to write such a book seem to be growing every time I donate. My recent experience involves a blood donation and an amusement park. I went down to Paramount's Kings Dominion on sunday (since I had free tickets to do so). When we got there, they ( Read more... )

My morning routine seems to be getting more and more complex. Before, when I was leaving for work, I would check to make sure I had my wallet, my phone and my keys. And that was about it. Now, it seems to be wallet, phone, keys, sunglasses, ipod, headphones, backpack-ish thing, and breakfast of some sort. And some days I have to remember to ( Read more... )

Well, I finally went and got an ipod. Which was an interesting set of circumstances. First, my credit card company offers me a new card, which is basically just an updated version of their rewards card. And, as a bonus for switching, they offered me 15,000 bonus points (which is the equivalent number of points I would get for spending $15,000 ( Read more... )

Toronto was awesome. very, very awesome. It might have just put itself into the #1 slot of "favorite cities of the world that I've been to". Although I have to stop and think about what was #1. Regardless, Toronto's pretty sweet. Niagara Falls was also quite fun to see. And the Maid of the Mist tour was definitely a good time ( Read more... )
