Days 1 & 2: Heading Out
The first few days were actually one 40-hour extremely long day for me. But we accomplished what we set out to do: getting to South Dakota (from New York state) before stopping to rest, since most of the things we wanted to do were in South Dakota or farther west than that ( Read more... ) -
Remember me?
Some of you do, anyway :)
I'm currently on vacation in the midwest US, and since I wanted to make some actual journal-style entries, I figured where better of a place to do that than my LJ, which I haven't used in forever? But I will most likely be updating this info on my Facebook and MySpace as well ( Read more... ) -
~summer, move forward, and stitch me the fabric of fall~
...nah, not quite ready for fall just yet. But these last few days have been decidedly autumnal, and after the scorching heat of the past month or so, it was nice to put on a pair of jeans and a light jacket. I didn't even mind the overcast skies. Late August always seems to have these cool, overcast days here in upstate New York, then around the ( Read more... ) -

Interesting
Instead of the usual funny/comedic video, here's a serious one, on psychology/sociology/etc. It really made me think. Then I realized I knew this all along but hadn't considered it ( Read more... ) -
Gamers of the world, unite.
I have been a gamer my entire life, and Will and I were talking about it. We were born at the perfect time for die-hard gamers, in that we remember the birth of the NES.

Burning Question
Question of the day: Just exactly what the hell do they sell at that store called The Christmas Tree Shops or whatever it is?!
...yeah, yeah. I know. It sounds like a stupid question with an obvious answer of: Christmas trees. Duh!
If so, then why the hell is the parking lot jam-packed every night of the week during the month of April?!? I don't ( Read more... ) -
Montréal
We were in Montréal for the past four days. Will had a hockey tournament there. It was a pretty awesome trip, if whirlwind in nature and very tiring ( Read more... ) -
Buick/Suzuki/Chevrolet/Daewoo
Here's a prime example of the inbreeding of car makes these days, but all the ones above are owned or partnered with GM, so it isn't surprising, I guess.
Korean translation: "In China, it's a Buick. In the States, it's a Suzuki. In Europe, it's a Chevrolet. In Korea, it's a Daewoo."

"A Night at the Camelot Inn"--¿Horror Movie?
I'm back from Florida, and extremely thankful we ended up getting home last night (Saturday or I suppose, more accurately, Sunday ar 2:30 AM). I have never wanted to sleep in my own bed as much as I did last night. And it's nice to have one day back before having to go back to work (and besides I have to go to traffic court tomorrow morning at 8:30 ( Read more... )
