Cute Overload

If there was ever a site that totally lived up to its name, it’s Cute Overload. Oh my goodness, how freakin’ adorable! Lisa and I spent plenty of time awwing last night at the sickening sweetness of it all. I need to go through my photos and submit a couple.
But the whole thing was kicked [...]

Holy crap - can’t think of witty title

Gates is stepping down. That’s right, the man himself is letting go of that crushing grip he has on the software development out in Redmond. I almost didn’t believe it, but Slashdot is already being flooded with lame jokes and pointless pretentions of intellect in response.
I’m not gleeful in the sense that I view Gates [...]

Please stop

Kottke put it best. I’m not going to talk about it at all, and I’ve done a fairly good job of ignoring it. I recommend everybody else following suit. There is absolutely no reason to waste anytime on trolls - no matter how big and nasty (or grotesquely anorexic as the case may be).

Mean girls suck

I am currently watching Mean Girls. This wouldn’t be so embarassing, except that it’s like the tenth time I’ve seen it. It’s like totally bad candy that’s rotting my teeth, and not even all that good tasting, but I don’t care because, well, Lindsay’s slamming. There are some really funny moments, and some realistic high [...]

Goodbye Jessie

Goodbye Jessie. We miss you already.

Shadow is still going strong, and I’m sure it’s only a matter of time before we get him a new companion - but Teddy and Jessie will always remain the original goobers:

Today is about a week shy of the 1 year anniversary of Teddy’s death.
Jessie fought pretty hard since we [...]

It’s a beautiful day

The sun has finally broken out completely, and the winds aren’t too chilly. After mowing my lawn this morning, I decided to take the piggies out for a little romp out front. Jessie’s on his last legs, so I’m desperate for anything that might give him a boost. While they haven’t been bounding with energy, [...]

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

I do! I do!
Seriously, I do. And I might just get my shot. You see, from time to time Lisa and I would catch a couple episodes of the sometimes-irritating-but-still-fun game show, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Since I’m pretty good at trivia - my brain is filled with more useless facts than you [...]

It’s all just water under the basement

With the the Great Flood apparently nigh here in the Northeast, now seems to be the perfect time to find out just how dry our basement is.
It isn’t.
Alright, it’s not like we’ve got buckets here and are bailing water out for fear of our very lives. But I still had a bit of panic on [...]

Hooray technology!

We haven’t received any voicemail in a few weeks. I got kind of lazy about looking for the indicator on the phone, but after awhile I just forgot to check. Today I heard the phone ring while I was… indisposed… and it turned out to be Lisa’s parents. Yet there was no message. Hmm, time [...]

The first reply

We sent out most of the invitations after this past holiday weekend. There are still more to go out as I didn’t have some friends’ addresses - heck, I’m lucky if I know most of my friends’ last names. Anywho, the first reply already came in today - I guess this thing is really going [...]
