Staying put
Looks like I get to stay in the country:
You Passed the US Citizenship Test
Congratulations – you got 8 out of 10 correct!
Could You Pass the US Citizenship Test?
Better luck next time Michael!
One step at a time
Lisa and I have been talking about buying a house, preferably before the wedding… scratch that – yesterday Lisa went out with a realtor to look at some houses… scratch that – we put a bid on a house… scratch that – we put a second bid on a house and are waiting to hear [...]
On a lighter note…
I found this link under the heading “Funniest thing in the history of the internet” (must watch with sound on). I must say, it’s definitely in the running. I nearly wet myself the first time watching it. The best part might actually be the guy playing a game the whole time in the back.
Are you ready for some football?
That’s right, a football post out of the blue. But what can I say? Looking nearly dead just a week or so ago, my Eagles have a chance tonight to move right back into the thick of the playoff hunt and (dare I say it?) even the division race. Thanks to the ‘Skins and Giants [...]
Good times now and then
Things were jumpin’ over at the local B&N tonight. That’s my way of trying to sound hip when mentioning that Barnes & Noble sure was packed for a Saturday evening. I always find it amazing that so many people feel the need to buy books (and coffee) at the same time. In reality I know [...]
Score one for Gmail
I’ve already been a happy user of Gmail for quite some time now, but it just proved its usefulness tenfold. Having finished up directions to my apartment in an e-mail, I just wanted to doublecheck something on the Google Maps page I had open (just call me a Google Whore). Instead of select the last [...]

Afterall, she has made me poke them awake in the past because their occasional habit of sleeping with eyes open makes her nervous. But this one was fairly unmistakeable. [...]
Happy days are here again.
Michael Heilmann noted this little gem on Wikipedia.
It has been recently reported that the loophole in German tax law has been revised. Starting January 2006, contributors to failed films will no longer be able to profit from failed films through a tax writeoff at the end of the year. This may well result in an [...]
Aw crap
Yeah, I really needed to find out that this was already on shelves. For the love of all that is holy, I just got started with SSX On Tour (don’t worry Mark, details shall follow), but I simply MUST buy any Civ games that are released. Seriously, it’s like a law or something.
The Minivan Saga
Did I mention that Lisa was in a car accident a couple months ago? I see I did. You’ll notice that was back in August. Lisa finally has the minivan back. If only it had been totaled…
The Odyssey’s hood had been collapsed, which means lots of bodywork with little internal damage. At least, that’s what [...]
