• Everybody’s working on the weekend

    07 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Work & Career

    Although I am still relatively stress-free, I’ve felt the stress level climbing at work at bit lately. I have a lot to do, including one project whose deadline is fast approaching at the end of July, and for which I just finished a design review, just discovered that my test team lead will be on…

  • Flat abs, flat panel

    07 Jul 2006 » 2 min read

    I mentioned in an earlier post that while shopping with jen_ashlock and Jason for a flat panel TV, I was overcome with the sudden urge to buy one myself. Well, Jen and Jason got theirs and now I have to get mine. I was looking at 32″ flat panel models, which were about as big…

  • The elevator dream

    07 Jul 2006 » 2 min read

    I seem to be back in the crazy/hectic dream phase once again. For the first time in a long while, I had one of my “elevator” dreams a few nights ago. These are pure anxiety dreams, akin to dreams I used to have, after graduating from college, about having forgotten to have gone to a…

  • Personal email stats

    06 Jul 2006 » 1 min read

    I keep a lot less personal email than I do work-related email. I archive mail at the end of each month and just got around to archieving my July mail today. I figured it was as good a time as any to cull some stats. Since February 7, 2004, I have received 4,253 meaningful pieces…

  • Baby Fever

    06 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Music & Arts

    This is somewhat of an inside joke so bear with me here. This weekend, Jason and I wrote a song together with Jen as our audience. The phrase “baby fever” is a kind of inside joke between us and a few other people, the meaning of which all parties in the know will be very…

  • Back at work

    06 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Reading & Books

    Well, I’m back at work today after a long weekend in New York City. Lots to do here and it’s one of those days where it was tough even figuring out where to get started. Lots of rain again today, too. But beginning tomorrow, it’s supposed to be sunny and rain free I’m just about…

  • City life

    05 Jul 2006 » 1 min read about Travel

    What a difference being in Manhattan makes, then in Astoria, even as a visitor. It was so nice getting up this morning, and walking half a block to the corner to stop for breakfast. We explored the neighborhood a bit and then walked to the very nearby grocery store so that Jen and Jason could…

  • Parks, parks and parks

    04 Jul 2006 » 3 min read about Sports

    Today was a day of parks: Central Parks, Amusement Parks and Ball Parks. I woke up close to 10 AM with no headache but feeling somewhat queasy and unbalanced from the night before. I also had a very sore throat, which was damaged, I think, in the previous night’s regurgitation. Jen and Jason got up…

  • A guy walks into a bar…

    03 Jul 2006 » 3 min read

    Those of you reading this blog over the last several months are probably familiar with the tales of my recent adventures in going out for some drinks with friends. Each time, when the occassion suits, I attempt to test my limits to get an understanding of what I can handle and what I cannot. Tonight,…

  • Move complete!

    02 Jul 2006 » 1 min read

    Luck, some planning and hard work were the ingredients required to make the move of Jen and Jason’s stuff happen so quickly. While Jason picked up the truck this morning, Jen and I moved all of the boxes and most of the other stuff downstairs so that we could pack the truck quickly. As it…
