Just got home from work and don't feel like going back out. Decided I might as well do the stups sex quiz I saw SarahX and Krin do earlier this week.
( Duh )

Yesterday I started to wonder why it's been so much easier for me to lose weight; even the 10 extra holiday lbs were gone by the first week of January. I decided to check on how many calories I burn if I wait tables for five hours at a fairly frenetic pace like I will tonight. According to the calculators I've found on-line that number is around ( Read more... )

Went downtown tonight with Jack Jackson and the E*S tribe and met up at the Starlite Lounge. I think I've posted about the Starlite before but how awesome 10-midnight happy hour is never really sunk in before.

It's going to be a couple of years until my Titans are back to challenging for the Super Bowl so until then, like many other dudes, I'm going to have to keep my mancrush torch lit for Tom Brady.

Amazing the amount of 10+ year old video from Afghan Whigs on Youtube. Lots and losta Twilight Singers stuff there, too.

( And the song that got me hooked on teh Whigs in 1991 when I worked at Twisters. I don't think I've ever seen the video until now. )

Today my 1 gigabyte M2 memory stick for my cell phone arrived in the mail so now I have what amounts to an #$@!%$Pod Shuffle on my phone. I've put about 80 songs on it and it's half full. So far the bands/artists most represented are oddly enough, Guns 'n' Roses and New Order followed closely by Guided by Voices and John Coltrane. I think I'm ( Read more... )
