the curious incident of the dog in the night-time by Mark Haddon is a really good book. ash_grey_sky got it for me for my birthday and I just finished reading it ( Read more... )

Another month, another entry.

My new toy. Got it hooked up last night (after installing a wireless router) and it works great. We can now listen to all of our mp3s wherever we want. The sound quality is pretty good, too. If we ever get around to getting a real stereo, we can feed the output of this into it ( Read more... )

It is now official. ash_grey_sky and I will be coming to Tulsa this weekend. We'll be staying at the Hilton right across from ORU. Hopefully I can slip the check-in guy a 20 and get a room with a view of the praying hands.

1 day of attempting to live in the house (technically we've been home owners for a month) and already we have had drama ( Read more... )

Back at work today, despite the fact that I've completely lost my voice. Luckily, I really have nothing to do all day except for a late meeting about interviewing new people. This was the sickest I've been in a long time. Now I remember why it sucks so much. The Lakers losing last night (hopefully now 1 step from losing it all) was somewhat of a ( Read more... )

The best thing about being married is that when you're wife gets sick, you'll probably get sick too. And then you can both feel horrible together, with no healthy person to take care of you ( Read more... )
