This past weekend, I went camping with Shannon, my latest and by far greatest love interest, along with several of my "Chopper" friends.  It was my first camping experience, and her first time meeting any of my friends.  We were both fish out of water.  It was also the longest duration of time Shannon and I had spent together to date.  Nearly 48 ( Read more... )

Sometimes my shirts get wrinkled just from me sitting down with them on.  I thought I would try using some starch to reduce the wrinklage from that.  The first thing I learned is that starch doesn't work if you are using a garment steamer.  It just makes the shirt wet ( Read more... )

This week, I've watched a few things on TV that really don't have much to do with each other, but made me think about whether they relate.  First was an episode of Nature about the science of venom and poison.  Many deadly species are being harvested for their venom.  The venom in turn is utilized in some cutting-edge medical cures that are in ( Read more... )

Today I faced what is surely the greatest challenge to my manhood thus far.  In the morning, while picking up something that might cause the scooba to go nuts before I turned it on, somehow one of my buttons popped.  The shirt is not really that tight, so I'm not sure what happened.  I grabbed the button and put it in my pocket, figuring someone at ( Read more... )

This morning I am meeting someone for a coffee date.  We both have family visiting the next few weeks so it was the only thing that made sense.

I got up a bit early and decided to organize my bathroom a bit.  Yesterday I went to "Patrick's Look of the Isles" and got some Taylor of Old Bond Street goods, so I had to organize to make room.  I threw ( Read more... )

I post about local restaurants sometimes in the local forums.  Recently I posted about Gotham Bagels, which is one of my favorite breakfast spots.  I wrote that they have some tasty pineapple juice that the owner informed me was perfected by sally, whom I termed "one of his hottie underlings".  I went in today wanting to try their pastrami, which ( Read more... )

I was checking out the various sidewalk sales on state today, and one of the guys at knuckleheads recognized my shirt as being from threadless.com.  So he told me they have threadless shirts in their store.  But they are $4 more per shirt than if you buy them directly off the web site.  WTF?  That's more than the price of shipping if you buy 2 ( Read more... )

Pretty impressive this year round.

The hottie downstairs is selling stuff from the store she and her sister had up the street before her sister had a baby.  Kind of strange seeing candy store people selling vases and what not.  But nevermind that, I got three 7 Diamonds shirts for a total of just over $100.  They are normally $90 each.  Sweet.  ( Read more... )

I finally got an invite to http://www.grandcentral.com/ which is a site that gives you one phone number, then when people call that, it rings all your other numbers, says who the caller is, and lets you decide to answer or not.  As soon as you answer one phone, the others stop ringing.  Additionally, voicemail goes to the website and you can play ( Read more... )
