Without sounding overdramatic (me?), the past few weeks have been a bit of a pain. After dealing with my body trying to begin hibernation in about mid-February, I then proceeded to come down with a cold. Just when I thought I had kicked that, I got knocked on my ass by the sinus infection right as S. was coming in to town. Then when I was ( Read more... )

Some of you who know me may know that I really don't like soup all that much. It's ok, but it's not something I seek out. I never think "Man, I could really go for a bowl of soup right now." I pretty much just have soup when I'm sick to help me feel better. Unfortunately, I've been eating a lot of soup for the past two weeks ( Read more... )

The tapir (along with this Baird's tapir photo that I took) was featured in Ugly Overload this past Friday.

I was listening to my R.E.M. mix at work today, and as "Nightswimming" is playing, my co-worker says "Is that my favorite song I hear?" I've heard that sentiment from a lot of people, and it seems as though it's also come up a lot lately, with that hosehead in Dashboard Confessional performing it, and then with Coldplay covering it (with Michael ( Read more... )

In what seem to be turning into a regular occurence every 3 or 4 months, I came down with a cold Friday night and I spent most of the weekend as a zinc-popping, green-tea-and-water-drinking, grilled-cheese-with-tomato-and-chicken-soup (thanks, Jul)-eating fiend. I hate being sick, but I'm glad that I got it now instead of next weekend, when I've ( Read more... )

As mentioned in the last post, February has robbed me of the desire to do much of anything beyond just laying/sitting around, so I've been watching a bit of TV. ( Blathering about movies... )

I've been bad about updating again. I've had a lot going on and on my mind lately, but I really haven't felt like writing any of it out. February always seems to just suck the life out of me. Thankfully Spring and Daylight Saving Time are just around the corner.

In the meantime, here are some pictures of my photogenic cat that Julie took...( Coop )

I could care less about V-day one way or the other, but I was pretty amused by this intro from the guy commentating the the Liverpool/Arsenal match on ESPN today:

"Of course it's Valentine's Day today, but I'm delighted to be in the company of people who have got their priorities straight - Football over Love ( Read more... )

Last night I dreamt that I was married to a very small Asian woman, and I think we had a baby together. She was expressing to me that she wasn't sure that she wanted to be married, and I said that if it didn't work out, we could always get an annullment. At another point in this dream, I was with a bunch of people and we were trying to find a ( Read more... )
