Where my allegiance lies

Goals and giggles

Remember when I talked about the adult personality keeping us calm in traffic? I think that the overwhelming theme of that was to not take things personally. If someone cuts you off in traffic, the best thing to do is just slow down and make sure you have the room you need. However, the overwhelming [...]

The post that was almost lost

I typed this post last night, fully intending to publish it. However, Time Warner’s internet connection decided to bail out on me at the last minute, and I didn’t feel much like trying to reconnect just to publish a few sentences. Now that I’m at work with a much better internet connection, I’ll try again.

No more prize

Well, I missed posting yesterday, and truth be told I’m not very sad about it. Sure I would have liked to have posted every day and possibly won a prize. But truly, this year’s NaBloPoMo just doesn’t have the same magic as last year’s. Maybe I just don’t have enough inspiration this year. Not sure. [...]

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jared said I should try to shape this text like a turkey. However, I really don’t have enough words to fill a turkey. So all I’ll say is that I hope you’ve had a good day, and I hope you’re a Cowboys fan (because if you’re a Jets fan, your day was kind of sad).

Heartbreaking

Parents of MySpace hoax victim seek justice
Apologies to those who have seen this already and are tired of the story. I just can’t understand how people can do these things.

Cookies are always welcome

A co-worker and I routinely provide extra assistance to an instructor and her teaching assistants, so these very nice people decided to send us Tiff’s Treats as a thank you.
These are the times when I don’t mind being in this office.

Last minute post

Through their incredible insensitivity for their neighbors, the kids downstairs have reminded me that I haven’t post yet today, and it’s 11:48 PM. This hasn’t happened in a while, the kids downstairs being this ridiculous. They love their video games, and even invite their other kid friends over to play them late at night during [...]

Saturday Night’s Alright

I actually had a night that was worthy of a blog post. The fact that I thought about that last night makes me wonder if I should spend less time on the internet…
So we decided to go to the new downtown Alamo Drafthouse at the old Ritz. First of all, the new theater is very [...]
