It was light out crossing the Potomac on the train this morning and so I guess that means we really did “fall back” an hour this weekend. I’m not sure however. My phone still says it’s 8:40 AM, even though the time on it is sync’d with my local T-Mobile network. Perhaps T-Mobile decided to…
I was actually fairly productive for a Sunday, one in which I slept in later than usual because I was up late last night. I did a fair amount of cleaning this morning. I cleaned the kitchen, the bathroom, vacuumed the house, and did a ton and a half of laundry. Then I headed over…
Today is jen_ashlock and Jason’s one year wedding anniversary. They got married at the Southcoast Winery in Temecula, California, and it was a great wedding. I can’t believe a year has already gone by. Anyway, I just wanted to wish Jen and Jason a very happy anniversary.
I woke up this morning to find that the post with my DirecTV dish had blown over in the winds last night (strong winds). I remounted the post as best I could but it is not aligned properly and so naturally, I’m not getting a satellite signal on my TVs. I pay an extra $6/month…
This was kind of cool. Half an hour ago I watched the clock on my computer change from 1:59 AM to 1:00 AM. Kinda like jumping back in time.
So I’m taking it easy this evening, and am about to get caught up on the latest episodes of Battlestar Galactica and Studio 60, a-la the magic of the iTunes Store. In addition, I am downloading the first 5 episodes of Heroes based solely on a recommendation by vickyandnorm. They were the ones who got…
I’m just back from treating myself to a double-feature this afternoon. I went to see a 1 PM showing of The Prestige and followed that with a 3:45 PM showing of Flags of Our Fathers. Both were good movies, but I think I enjoyed The Prestige more simply because it had great acting and a…
I came across this gem in mental_floss this morning: Upon being handed his official death sentence by French revolutionaries, Thomas de Mahy (the Marquis de Favras) cooly stated, “I see that you have made three spelling mistakes.” For some reason, it made me think of strausmouse.
I got to Buffalo Bills exactly at 7 PM and naturally, I was the first person there. Denisse showed up about 10 minutes later and then her friends started arriving. AJ didn’t get there until almost an hour later. I spent time talking to Denisse and also to a friend of hers from Finland. Denisse…
I’ve spent the last 20 minutes or so starting to read the latest issue of mental_floss and I love it. It is (a) informative in a (b) hilarious way. I’ve never seen a magazine quite like it. In some ways, the humor reminds me of the stories that strausmouse and I used to write in…
