As more astute types will know by now, I spent my New Years Eve in L.A. with the Flaming Lips. It was pretty fucking cool.

I left as rescheduled at 6:30 am Sunday morning. This required waking up at 3:00 after being out until 11ish the night before. Smart staying out that late...but definitely worth it. Headed over to Kath's where I parked (3:45), ( Read more... )

Blizzard #2 is bearing down on Denver, so United started shuffling flights early. Anybody scheduled to fly 12/27-12/30 was encouraged to get out early or change plans somehow to avoid more messes. My flight was Saturday (12/30) at 6:30 am. Between now and then we're supposed to get another 18" of snow, and this is the heavy wet shit that's going to ( Read more... )

It's hard to think of a better way to welcome a new year than with the Flaming Lips, even if it is a day early. The Oklahoma cosmic rock band, which released the highly praised "At War With the Mystics" this year, ( Read more... )

At 2:00 I began the process of digging out my car, seeing as I have to get to work tomorrow morning.  It is now 5:00 and my car is no longer in my parking lot. It has taken this long. When I got out there you could only see one window of the car. The drifts around my car were literally up to my nipples in places. Opening the door was hard enough... ( Read more... )

This is the largest storm I've seen in a long damn time. I woke up this morning expecting a couple inches because that's what they said yesterday. There was about an inch on the ground at 7:40, light powdery stuff that brushed off easily. Made it to work in 20 min (usually takes 12) and life was good. When I got there they said we would be closing ( Read more... )

This is something of a continuation of a conversation at a Hannukah/Chanukah shindig I attended this evening. One of those discussions "What if you lived like you had cancer?" It always looks so romantic in the movies. Somebody learns a lesson about kicking back and relaxing and enjoying life based on their newfound devil-may-care attitude and we ( Read more... )

January- the first bread of 2006 has been baked.

February- the FEC filings were due yesterday.

March- sometimes at work i play games online.

April- *possible spoilers if you haven't seen it yet* [this is a post about King Kong.]

May- When I forget to update for days on end a thousand things go by that I think "Hey, I'll put that in my LJ!" and then I ( Read more... )

My bedtime has been creeping back further and further lately. It's to the point where I'm not tired until 3:30 in the morning and then don't wake up until noonish. Last night I tried to go to bed early (2), and around 3:30 decided I was sick of it. Got up and stayed up and I'll go to bed at a decent time tonight and get myself back on a real adult- ( Read more... )

Cutler's 1st start today and I got to go. Kyle had tickets (his mom's boyfriend's season tickets) and invited me along. Kick ass. The seats were in the handicapped section of Level 5...so all the way at the front, right above the boxes, unobstructed view in front of us, and 1 yard to the left of the 50. Absolutely amazing seats. So of course we ( Read more... )

I'm enjoying this. He's an intelligent guy, but quite careful to not be too partisan just for the sake of being that way. He's a Democrat and not at all shy of it, he just doesn't (in his writing at least) do the knee-jerk "Republicans are BAD!" thing.

(On moving to DC)- "At first, I tried to embrace my newfound solitude, forcing myself to ( Read more... )
