Neighbor
I decided to make use of the premium channels that I subscribe to for a change and turned on an interesting sounding movie to relax to. It was a reasonably interesting and atmospheric horror flick. Right when I get close to the climax of the film, my neighbor downstairs began banging on the ceiling. I was so annoyed by the distraction that I ( Read more... ) -
Bugged
Work was not too bad today. I am still managing to stay ahead as of the second working day of the month but I have a long way to go. I was a bit vexed by a problem at my apartment. I had gotten a call last week from the leasing office saying that they wanted access to my apartment as they were spraying for bugs in my part of the block. I ( Read more... ) -
Incommunicado
I think that adapting to my shift change has been harder for me than I had expected it to be. I sort of entered another reclusive phase this past weekend. Part of the time I found myself curled up on the sofa, unmoving. I think if anyone else had been present they would have poked me to make sure that I was still alive. I have pretty much ( Read more... ) -
The Shoe On The Other Foot
You may remember me complaining about my old neighbors making noise when I lived downstairs. Things have been a lot more peaceful since my move. I even bought a home entertainment center last year to enjoy watching movies with stereo surround sound. Unfortunately, I appear to have had my volume up too loud so that I could hear over my washer and ( Read more... ) -
A Wonderfully Relaxing Evening
Although my first day shift at work was hectic and stressful, having an evening to unwind for a change feels wonderful. Shortly after getting home I stripped down to boxers and a t-shirt and watched television while my shiatsu massage pillow helped relax me. It may not be as good as a real massage but it has been a while since I have had one of ( Read more... ) -
Indiana Jones Trailer

Based on the trailer, it looks as though the new Indiana Jones film may be a bit different from past installments but will still maintain the sense of adventure and fun. I am looking forward to seeing it. :) -
My Snowy Valentine's
Well, it is yet another Valentine's Day without a girlfriend for me. Perhaps the less said about it the better before I go all "Scrooge" on the holiday and talk about how it was invented by the greeting card industry, etc. If you are fortunate enough to have a special sweetheart, don't mind me. I do hope that you get to spend a romantic evening ( Read more... ) -
Chillin' on a Chilly Sunday
Is the weekend really almost over already? Ugh! I had a fairly good day. I woke up very early for a sunday to work out before watching a soccer match that I wrongly anticipated would be a good one. Unfortunately, my favored Manchester United side fell to local rivals Manchester City in a lackluster display. I was quite disappointed, especially ( Read more... ) -
The Allure of the Peaceful Life
It is such a warm day, I almost cannot believe that February has just begun! It is in the '70s here. A more perfect day for skipping work could not be asked for but, as usual, I shall be responsible and work on my goals. Instead, I contented myself with hauling my bike down from the deck of my third floor apartment and riding around the complex ( Read more... ) -
Morning Philosophy
You know, I have been thinking that maybe I try too hard to accomplish the goals that I am striving for. Maybe all that you really need to move a mountain is a gentle nudge and a little faith.
