I thought I would do a better job of keeping this updated this year. Seems to be the non-case. It has been a full month since the last update, but that's okay. You still love me, whether you think you do or not ( Read more... )

Apparently, it is April. Seriously 69 in Lafayette? Damaging tornadoes in Illinois? But that's not what I came here to talk about ( Read more... )

Ah, the last 11.5 hours of 2007. What a year, eh? It is common to recap the whole year, but I'm to lazy to do that. It has been a year of big changes: buying a house, getting married, becoming the IT lead in my department, some other things that I'm forgetting. I'm looking forward to 2008, though. For one, we're soon to be over the painting hump, ( Read more... )

Hello, people-type persons. It has been far too long since my last update, and I do apologize. I'm pretty tired at the moment, so I won't go deep into any particular topic, I'll just skim over some of the lights, high and otherwise ( Read more... )

Okay, so here I am, just returned from Ross-Ade Stadium.  I hope it is known that I am a loyal Boilermaker.  I am invested in the success of Purdue University, as an alumnus, as a staff member, as a football season ticket holder, as a member of the President's Council.  Purdue's success is my success, Purdue's failure is my failure.  But no.  That ( Read more... )

Yesterday was election day. Jan Mills got kicked out of West Lafayette. Tony Roswarski easily kept his seat in East West Lafayette. New Albany and Jeffersonville both voted their former mayors back into office. A year from now, we should know who will be the next president of these United States. Good. This isn't a political post, so I won't ( Read more... )

So the wife and I went camping over the weekend. As always, we learned a few tricks for the next time. However, my Magical Fire Breath(tm) performed well, as always. And oh-em-gee, Shades State Park is beautiful. There's this place called "Lovers Leap". We walked out there and lept (not off the platform, just in place). Anywho, it is a nice ( Read more... )

Okay, America, you're really starting to piss me off. At least the loud ones here. Okay, so Barack Obama wasn't wearing a flag pin? Good for him! So much bullshit has been done in the name of patriotism that I don't blame him for not wearing it. IT IS A FUCKING LAPEL PIN, PEOPLE. SERIOUSLY. And what happened to supporting the troops? In the ( Read more... )

So I'm sure you've been wondering how married life is treating me. Well. Let me tell you. But I'll spare the *ahem* details. So, I guess every wedding has a lot of little glitches. One of ours was that I almost didn't have my ring. A few feisty phone calls and e-mails, and we fixed. The glitch. One other major glitch was that the minister ( Read more... )

So, being from where I'm from, I have to have an appreciation of good ol' Kentucky bourbon whiskey. Normally, I go for Makers Mark, quality stuff. But at Meijer, they had this stuff for considerably cheaper and I figured I'd give it a try. It's pretty good, I'll have to admit. I forget the name of it, and I'm too lazy to go to the kitchen and ( Read more... )
