I can hardly contain myself. I drove to work this morning with “Anakin Vs. Obi-Wan” from the Revenge of the Sith soundtrack on repeat. Holy crap it was pysching me out, I’m more excited than a little kid on Christmas Eve. When ever I hear a bombastic rendition of the Imperial March I just get…

Taken near Sunset Beach – North Shore, Oahu Taken next to Surf ‘N Sea in Haleiwa – North Shore, Oahu I’ve had a few demands to update my blog about Hawaii, so I thought I’d post a preview and mention I had a blast. A legit blog entry (or entries) will be coming, I promise…

Just a quick rant. Some spam-ish probably virus-like stuff has been coming in my work e-mail today. I overheard a certain co-worker (who actually works on a PC here, hah) say that most viruses don’t affect Macs. You kinda get that snooty attitude from Mac users sometimes, it’s annoying. Granted there are a lot more…

Yes my most recent phone was giving me a hell of a time, dropping almost every call I tried to make. Sprint ran some tests and the boneheads decided it wasn’t defective. Lovely. Well lucky me I bought it at Costco and they have an unbeatable return policy… satisfaction guaranteed. So, I just had to…

Crazy how many changes you can experience in the weather driving from one city to another. At least there was no snow… I swear that some tires are designed to spray as much water on the cars behind as possible. Especially true with semis, but there were some smaller cars creating little storms of their…

Ah, to be easily amused. I got up this morning, started going through the usual routine in the bathroom. Got the shower warmed up, stepped in with my toothbrush in my mouth, and no sooner had I closed the shower door when bam, the lights went out. At first I let out a short little…

A couple months ago Marianne started a candy dish– no, not at her desk, but at MINE. She supplied the bowl and the initial candy (I think it was valentines hershey kisses with almonds). It’s become well known on the second floor now… it’s almost always got candy in it. And good candy. One time…

You know, I wish I had taken this picture… but then again, maybe I’ll get some like it in a few weeks =P I haven’t mentioned on here that there’s a Hawaii trip planned that I will be taking part in. It’ll be me, Jefe, and a bunch of fam for 7 days on the…

So that’s how people talk these days at work, at least in my department where creativity and critique abound (design and art, yay). There’s no “I like this” or “I don’t like that”, it’s “do you love it?!” or “I don’t love it.” Well, at least it’s not as bad as “I heart chocolate” or…

I love fortune cookies. Well, not really– I don’t even eat the cookies have the time because I don’t enjoy them. But who doesn’t like seeing what silly fortune is contained inside that cookie? This one was ok… I got a better one a week or 2 ago. It said “You will meet a handsome…

A view from the 2nd Floor of the atrium (3 levels up from the bottom) Mmm…. everything tastes good covered in chocolate. No wonder Llew wants a chocolate covered boy. I mentioned a while back that I recently moved into a new office (campus) that the CEO/owner of the company built (since we’d outgrown our…

Ever noticed now cola, and sometimes even just soda in general is called “Coke”? Oh yeah I’ll have a coke. A bunch of us were at Sam Hawk on Wednesday and Ty tried to order a diet coke. The response was that they had Pepsi products and he could have a diet Pepsi. It was…

Warning: Boring rant about compressed audio and shady (as in probably illegal) CDs. Skip this unless you’re extremely bored. Most will not appreciate this, heh. A little background before I tell this story. As many of you know, I’m an audio geek– I love portable audio and I’m also very picky about sound quality. Most…

The trailer is here. Just over two months and counting. George is saying it will probably get a PG-13. It looks really sweet… All I can say is let the Star Wars mania begin. I saw the trailer after th O.C. last night (I was foolish enough to think it might be on during the…
