-Megan and I are officially moved into our house now. And by "moved in" I mean "all of our shit's here and non of it's in the apartment". There's still alot of getting stuff organized to be done, but it's the real deal--we live here now ( Read more... )

Finally (I know, I know, suspend my nerd card) saw Iron Man tonight. While it was never a comic I followed to the full extent, I have at least a passing knowledge of just about everyone in the Marvel Universe from having been an avid card collector, as well as TV shows and video games. So this wasn't X-Men for me, but there was still a good deal of ( Read more... )

OK, I've got plenty to update on, and I've been trying to make this entry happen for the better part of a week. I'm actually going to do it now--bring a helmet ( Read more... )

There's an update coming, I promise. But in the meantime, for anyone who's been chomping at the bit for house pictures and such, check out the work-in-progress in Megan's LJ: http://msmiles662.livejournal.com/462415.html

As of 11:40ish or so this morning, ya boy is a HOMEOWNER!!!

More details, and pictures (still unfurnished cuz we're not moving yet) to follow. Right now, I'm gearing up for vacation--we're off to Tybee Island this evening.

If Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour is in a city near you--GO. Don't ask questions. Just go. You won't be disappointed.

More details later.

So I grew up in the mid-Atlantic. Water ice is practically in my DNA. So I was pleased that a Rita's franchise opened up in Cary--it's about an hour's drive from me, but if I have reason to be over that way, it's a stop worth making. In having a franchise down south (this isn't the first), I said that they should start making sweet tea flavored ( Read more... )

As you may or may not be aware, UMBC made the NCAA tournament in men's lacrosse. I'm not happy with our placement in the tournament, but perhaps I'll rant about that later. Suffice to say, we got matched up with UVA and will be playing the opening round game against them on their turf. The game is on this coming Sunday, May 7. Initially, my thought ( Read more... )

OK, so this amused me:

I'm watching Kentucky Derby coverage (it's mid-day on a Saturday, nothing else is on, why the fuck not?) Vince McMahon was on the red carpet. The interviewer, noting his steroid use size, joked, "did you ever have aspirations of being a jockey?" Vinnie Mac replied, "no, I dreamed of being a horse ( Read more... )
