Ehehehe… I have to wonder how Apple nailed me on this one. I recieved 2 e-mail solicitations from Apple regarding Valentines Day. Based on their ads that I’d seen on their web site, I expected something similar, but no… they sent a message tailored to me. Subject: Your valentine gift to you Why tell me…

This morning I was listening to X96 Radio From Hell (the morning show) and they referred to the Training Table as having “gourmet” burgers. Now I understand that there are places that sell expensive hamburgers that are slightly more exotic than your run-of-the-mill Burger King / McDonald’s variety, but “gourmet”? I just don’t know that…

I rarely rant about junk mail. I mean, everyone gets piles of it, right? Lately it’s always “free Target gift card!” or “You’ve won a free laptop!” (all you have to do is fill out some survey, subscribe to some promotion, and sell your soul and all your friends’ and loved ones’ souls to the…

It turns out that if you watch enough Arrested Development in one sitting, Ron Howard will narrate your dreams too.

I like how this turned out. Down with flash photography! Wow. I felt like updating but I don’t feel like writing at the moment. Travis and Jeffe have started up new blogs while mine sits in disrepair. Travis now has a digital camera and has some cool photos, and Jeffe is doing a dream blog–…

So I just figured out how early one has to arrive at work to get the first parking space. During the last few months I’d occassionally come in at 7 so as to get some hours in before class. I could get here 5 to 7 and there’d already be about 4-5 rows of parking…

Don’t you love the Holidays and the commercialism? Honestly, I love Christmas time. I love the atmosphere, the music, the warmth, etc. But this kills me. Microsoft releases a new video game system which there’s bound to be a shortage of during the Holidays (I recall this happening with the Playstation 2 in Fall of…

So the “big rivalry” game is going on right now– University of Utah vs. BYU. Yeah I went to BYU once, no I don’t care who wins. I haven’t even given it much thought except hearing about it here or there throughout the week. But I recall from my dream last night something about the…

Gah. 3 posts without a single photo? I should be shot. This one was too good not to post.

Man. Sam Hawk, how do I love thee, let me count the ways. I just had some of the most amazing Korean food. Not that I haven’ thad it before, but it was so top notch tonight. Spicy grilled pork, mmmm… can’t get enough. And even the kimchi was just… just so tasty, like the…

Yes, there is such a thing. Quick rant… I guess I write this because I just got an e-mail forward of a couple kids dressed as Napoleon and Pedro for the umpteenth time (each time from someone in the office). I’m lamenting the way a great movie has become too popular. Napoleon Dynamite is a…

I seriously must be having LOST withdrawals or something. I had another strange dream last night. Again Lost-esque, I was this time in a more tropical climate and there was a hatch underground that I and a few others were in (I remember Jeff being there, and Locke even showed up for a moment in…

Shawn and I hatching our next dark plan Now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb. Yeah, Shawn and I donned Jedi garb for Halloween this year– it was excellent. People at Shawn’s work thought he was wearing stilts with his costume… I guess that big flowing cloak made him look…

Last night I had a sort of Lost-esque dream. But instead of being on a tropical island, I was stranded with a group of people in the middle of the desert. We were getting along just fine on some sort of inhabitation— it was like a train car (not the old kind but one that…

I read this article yesterday on scary foods. I like food, and I like scary stuff, so a story about scary food intrigued me. What are these scary foods? The article mentions 7 different specific scary foods. I was quite surprised to find I had eaten one of them while in Korea– number 6, sea…
