Yay for Turkey Day. I have quite a bit to be thankful for in my life, but of course it's the things that are lacking and the uncertainties that stand out disproportionately.
One thing to be thankful for...I'm going to LA for New Years for a little solo vacation. I bought a ticket to the Gnarles Barkley/Flaming Lips show and I'm psyched. Flying out * ( Read more... )

So this evening was the fundraiser deal for the Denver convention bid. I'd even found shoes! So we went, got there around 6:30 just in time to hear Hickenlooper finish speaking and introduce Ritter.

So Sarah's in OK for the weekend and I'm home alone so I can bachelor it up.
I started out Thursday evening by making cinnamon rolls. MMmmm. 2 pans, cuz there are lots of people at HQ. Took those down Friday morning, then headed back down Friday evening to go canvass. Walked, then came back, entered data, and ended up staying until 1:30 am cutting ( Read more... )

So this weekend was arty. First Sarah and I went to see "The Science of Sleep" at the Esquire Friday night after I got home from HQ. It was...I don't know. Not what I was expecting somehow.

If you don't know, this is the new movie from Michel Gondry, director of "Eternal Sunshine" which, if you've been paying any attention at ALL, is my favorite ( Read more... )
