SFSU EMBA program here I come.

For the last 5 years HBO has been the major reason why we've had a television in the house. The Sopranos, Six Feet Under, Deadwood, Rome, all amazing, all among the best television I've ever seen. Shows I don't love as much like Sex and the City and Entourage are at least amusing and more clever and better written then anything you'll see ( Read more... )

I'm going through another round of dis-satisfaction with our lovely Bay Area. Mostly it's financial; our continuing house hunt is just making it clear how far away we are from buying anything, the market upheavals are making me nervous about my job and I'm getting really sick of making more money then almost any member of my family yet still ( Read more... )

Whoever wants some good halloween reading should pick up WORLD WAR Z

So yeah, I'm on vacation for a week, we're in Seattle, family's fine, blah blah blah. The most important thing is I just got back from my second Neko Case concert in a week. She was fabulous once again, although I'd forgotten how horrible the sound at the Moore Theater is. The Bimbo's show last Tuesday was much better, but squeeeeeeeeeee! I wish ( Read more... )

That's it, I'm officially too old to go into mosh pits. I mean, I was expecting to leave the Ministry/Revco not being able to hear, I didn't expect to leave it not being able to move. I've spent all morning shuffling around the house, pricing knee replacement surgery and playing the "How the Hell did I Hurt Myself There?" game. Still, it was a ( Read more... )

"Ajax" is the buzword of the moment and senconds away from exploding from overuse, much less schwag then the last time I was here and the guy working the "Offshore it Outsourcing" booth looks really lonely.
