Well, so far I'm two for three in the quest to make two LiveJournal updates a month. Those responsible for last month's negligence have been sacked. (Ouchie ( Read more... )

I had a great experience a few days ago, an experience which was amazing despite its sheer simplicity. A week ago from Wednesday, our company was hosting a few talks about the new changes to our benefits system-all of which strong positives all around. We were all assigned a time slot to go to the meetings, and unfortunately mine fell smack dab ( Read more... )

I got the privilege of watching Bridge to Terabithia this weekend with some of my pals, and before I go any further, let me recommend this movie to you with three thumbs up.

So we're here. Time to start writing 2007 on all my checks rather than that old year.  So let me go ahead and start this year off right and, you know, make entries or something. But before I get into the meat of things, a thought struck me last night whilst partying (or as I'd frequently verb in Spanish class, nos festamos) with kimya, msondo, shawnaduck, and giddeon.

I'm sure the no-turning-back point came long ago before today. Be that as it may, today is the absolutely-no-way-josé-ain't-gonna-happen-cause-you're-surrounded-by-concrete-barriers-no-turning-around point ( Read more... )
