in which i blatantly outgeek myself

sense :: smell // coffee
So my 30-days without fast food experiment is over, and the full report is over at Aeria Gloris. The short version? I’m fine, no longer craving fast food of pretty much any sort, much more inventive in the kitchen, and feeling much much better about pretty much anything now that fast [...]

spend some to make some

sense :: taste // filtered water
After the party and Raevyn’s birthday, we spent the rest of the weekend relaxing and resting, since this week is our last full week of werk before the Con, which means two short werkweeks, and I can’t be more thrilled about it-Raevyn took Monday and today off of werk partially [...]

happy birthday, raevyn!

sense :: taste // choco-tinis
So it’s Raevyn’s birthday! Three cheers!
And we celebrated in style last night. I wasn’t quite as social as I normally would have been, but I did get to live out my little fantasy of being both DJ and bartender last night, and unlike most parties our bar hasn’t grown exponentially as [...]

dangerous times

sense :: smell // chinese food
Sadly, the chinese food isn’t mine, the ladies I share an office with ordered chinese. They did ask if I wanted to order with them, which was nice enough.
That’s okay, I’m planning on going out for lunch. Where, however, is the next-and natural-question. No clue, but I usually have [...]

a confession, of sorts

sense :: sight // the weather channel
I have a confession to make.
My pants are kinda comfy.
Seriously, they are. Okay, let me back up, I suppose. I normally absolutely hate getting dressed in the morning. I always feel like my clothes are either too big or too small, and never fit quite right, and I [...]

I love the….

sense :: smell // throat drops
Someday, someday I’ll have a door. And a window. Someday.
I’m only irritated because if I spend time in this building I have to deal with the smells of everything that everyone around here happens to be eating and drinking, including the throat drops that the woman next to me [...]

go where ya like

hearing // Digital Underground – Do What Ya Like
First, let me state for the record, as I have before, life finds a way. Sometimes, like in this case, it’s incredibly amusing! In other cases, it needs our help, but in both cases, it makes me happy.
Is it wrong that I look at that picture [...]

long weekend adventures

sense :: taste // Wawa subs
It’s a shame there aren’t very many Wawas down here. I looked around to see if there were any nearby, and it looks like the closest one to where I live actually is in College Park, Maryland-where I used to go to school. Damned shame. I made sure that [...]

kinda like a weekend

sense :: taste // teriyaki stir fry
Yesterday was a beautiful July 4th. Aside from the thunderstorms and the lack of power now and again over the course of the day, the holiday was wonderful. The sky was overcast and it rained here and again, but we still managed to make a nice big meal for [...]

sheepskin

sense :: hearing // metro connection
So I’m in the office today, sitting at a cluttered and cramped desk in my “other” office, although I don’t really have my own space here. I generally just sit where someone might happen to be out of the office that day; so I just find a place to drop [...]

welcome to america, mr. koizumi

I don’t know if this is more of a sad commentary on middle America, or Elvis fans, or perhaps on President Bush’s supporters (or perhaps all three), but I was listening to a story on Friday about Japanese Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi’s trip to America, and subsequent trip to Graceland, since he’s apparently a pretty [...]
