Man. I can’t believe it’s september already. Where did summer go so fast? On the positive side for fall: – trees changing color – weather cooling down – football (NFL kicks off regular season today) – Halloween I’m sure there’s other stuff but those are the main points, I’d think. I’m already enjoying football this…

The other day I recieved a photo on my cell phone, sent by my younger brother: I thought it was an awesome shot of the dog, pity it was taken with a camera phone. I laughed even more when I found out that the dog had just been sleeping like that– with his head drooping…

So I tried something different at Yoshi’s today: Spicy Hawaiian Chicken bowl (with the sauce on the side, obviously). The sauce was like a sweet & sour sauce with a bit of red pepper powder mixed in to make i spicy. It was tasty– I’ll be getting this one again.

Ok, few people who read my site will give a crap about this, it’s a bit on the geeky/techy side for a rant, but I have to get it out of my system. So the 20” Apple Cinema Displays arrived today and yesterday. No computers yet, though, they’re on the way… so I won’t be…

I have no idea what’s up with this– one of the first things I saw at the zoo. Grilled cheese, anyone? It’s been several years since I’ve been to the zoo. Went for the company summer party and it was surprisingly enjoyable– a change park without lines or rides, just appreciating nature and pitying the…

Can’t complain about getting paid to bowl for a couple hours. Always remember, there are no prizes for the mediocre. Only for the losers and the winners. The losers / worst scores got free movie tickets, as did the best team/ bowler. Nothing for us average people, doh. But I still got free pizza and…

So I took a moment at work today to visit a couple blogs and was quickly reminded of one of the reasons I first started reading them: Insights into complete strangers minds and lives, even if completley mundane. So excuse me while I spill my evening onto this blog. (Bet you’re already yawning from reading…

It’s things like this that separate me from the truly hardcore Star Wars fans. Of course, only a Star Wars fan could appreciate this enough to take a picture of it and post it on his blog, heh.

There’s a piece of cake sitting at my desk. Anyone care for it? 😉 Not only does it not fit with my daily limit of calories, but I’m just not much for coconut in my chocolate cake. So I probably won’t eat much more than a bite. p.s. I love having a SD card reader…

Yesterday I went with some co-workers to an xpedx reception up at Red Butte Gardens. On the way, Christina mentions that she attended a reception there once where they had a chocolate fountain. Surprise, surprise– when we arrive we too find a chocolate fountain with all sorts of things to dip in it. Being the…

Despite the fact that more budget issues have come up, thus delaying indefinitely the purchase of a new G5 for this poor designer, I do now have an SD card reader that I will carry with me to work. This means– updates while at work. I’m not longer handicapped trying to get pictures from my…

That’s what this summer has felt like. So anyways, lately I’ve felt more inclined to write, but I hesitate to write without photos to post. Solution: I have a SD card reader in the mail, hopefully it will be here early next week. This means that when I’m bored out of my mind at work,…

Larisa speaks in her husband’s stead You might call it quirky or weird. Most families have family reunions. Us, we take it a step further and have family conference. Sometimes I joke about how weird we are but I have to be honest– I found family conference very uplifting this year. Weird or not I’m…

Mmm… so tasty and refreshing. Not to mention terribly high in calories, heh.
