Today, Meg turned 35. When I woke up this morning, well after her I’m sure, she was sitting in front of the TV, in her chair, playing Skyrim on Xbox, with her headphones on, so she wouldnt wake me up. I woke up eventually, and picked on her a little. My usual attempt to get ... Read More »

Birthdays
Meg’s birthday is today. So I decided she needed a good present. We went to lowes and got the chandelier she’s wanted in the dining room for almost 2 years. It’s now wired and hung. And as one would expect, she loves it. Read More »
Tron?
Today, I procured two blue LED tubes for Megs car, as well as wire and rocker switches. 90 minutes of work later, I had everything soldered and installed in her car. The cabin footwells now glow blue to match her stereo. Read More »
A busy Wednesday
Today started early. And by early I mean before 8am. Meg and I got rolling and took mush to the vet. $200 later lad theynstill dont know what’s up. Blood tests and urinalysis are pending. I’m hopeful though. I don’t wanna have to put the little munchkin down. She’s too damned sweet. Once that was ... Read More »
The business of building an environment
One could aptly say it’s been a busy day. I woke up after Meg got back from the gym. We regrouped, and headed out the door to run errands. This began with going to lowes. While there, we picked up some lawn care stuff, a Japanese maple, and a new lawn mower. This pleased me ... Read More »
In The Loop.
Ah yes. There was a time when I could be called a prolific user of online media distribution services. Now, I find that I read what others post, more than I post myself. Go figure. Besides, life is full of all kinds of adventure. I find that I work, sleep, and conquer the daily life, ... Read More »
Life, The Universe, And Everything (42)
Life moves pretty quick. If you dont pay attention, you’ll forget to blog about it. Lots has happened in the last month. Meg and I have gotten the house mostly squared away. We have laundry services, we have the nerd cave set up. The grill is on the back porch, and tiki torches are installed. ... Read More »
I’m a little behind
Okay, so I realize I should have written something ages ago. Yeah, I kinda didnt post at all during October. Whoops. Well, October was a busy month. Here’s why. To recap, I bought a house. Or rather I bought a house with M. Or even possibly, she bought a house with me. Point is, we’re ... Read More »
Boy is this gonna be an adventure…
The financials were submitted. We waited. We were approved. We went hunting. We didnt find anything we liked. We waited. The perfect possibility fell into our laps. I loved it, she loved. it. We made an offer. We waited. This morning, I woke up to multiple calls, messages, texts, etc. They’d accepted our offer. Now, ... Read More »
So much to say, so little time to say it.
I have a million things I should probably write about. However things are crazy as always, so I dont always get the chance to organize them into a post. Shit, I still need to finish my post about Pookie coming to visit, what almost 6 months ago? Jebus. At the same time, things are crazy ... Read More »
WasI ever this excited?
Lets just come out and say it. In the world of digital entertainment, I’m a gamer. I enjoy video games. I always have. Way back in the day when we had shit like Intellivision, and Nintendo’s Game & Watch, I was playing games based on digital content. Over the course of my life, I’ve had: ... Read More »
Because I said so.
Yesterday, my relationship hit the 6 month mark. I’ve been with this amazing girl, in a relationship, for half a year now. I’ve known her way longer than that, but still the day bears noting. The picture doesnt do it justice. This smart, funny, talented woman picked me. Mind you she’s wearing my “Lime In ... Read More »
Best Little Sister Ever.
Yesterday, I spent my day with The Missus™ doing “stuff.” Today, I had set aside for LeAnne. As always it was up to her to get in touch and let me know when it was time for us to do “stuff.” About 3:30PM she called me and said, “I’m gonna be over in a bit.” ... Read More »
On the topic of days off.
Today is my Saturday. Yes, Tuesday is my Saturday. I work Thursday through Monday. Weekend days off are a rarity, and I dont see them. Instead, I work the weekend, and have weekdays off. Luckily, The Missus™ also has the same days off. Its good to spend time with one’s girlfriend, at least once in ... Read More »
For what its worth.
She’s figured it out. She’s stuck with me. She’s embraced the horror. There’s no escaping now. She’s doomed, kept, owned, taken, and so on. She has no recourse. She is, yes…wait for it….Ms. Awesome. Read More »
Good Morning.
So, I’m not going to bring things up to speed. I’m just going to recap slightly. After work last night, I hauled it up to Target, and dropped $60 on a humidifier. I’m tired of the winter air killing my sinuses. After setting it up and getting the world cleaned up a bit, I went ... Read More »
An update, for once.
At the moment, I’m sitting at PDX airport. In about an hour, I’ll be on a plane bound for Houston, which will then segue me onto a plane bound for DC. At that point, I’ll meet up with Jason. Its been since last winter since I’ve had a vacation. As of 5PM this evening, I’m ... Read More »
Ever the usual.
Its strange. I cant say that my life has any particular routine (other than tiki bar friday), but it seems we’re keeping up with the norm. Chris is job hunting, I’m either at work, or asleep, and in between, we fill the time with friends, movies, and nerdery. On the nerd tip, my G5 is ... Read More »
A return to my written voice.
I realize that I’ve been less than forthcoming with the writings in this space. Over time, I’ve been wrapped into many other things, which seemed to sap my desire to blog my existence. Not that they werent interesting, or that I didnt have anything to say, but more that I didnt feel like taking the ... Read More »
On a date of some importance to me.
Two months ago, I went out on a date with a girl I didnt expect to meet. My first inclination was that we probably would not be the right combination. However, she basically told me to shut up and pay attention. For once, I decided to say “screw it” and see where things would lead. ... Read More »
