Tomorrow is a bad day, for no other reason than that it’s September 19. I mean, it’s cool that it’s “Talk Like a Pirate” day, but for the last 2 years I’ve had fairly bad luck on the 19th of September, it’s amazing. I started working on getting my old archives online… it’s going to…

This is from the calendar that hangs in my cubicle. The other designers got these “Food Services of America” calendars as freebies from one of our printing companies. One of them got tired of looking at last month’s not-so-appetizing-looking hot dog picture and hung it in my cube. I promptly changed the month to September,…

A few stills from the movie “Hero” One of the things I loved about this movie’s production design was the use of color– it’s beautiful. I still need to watch it again to give the use of color some analysis. This morning I found myself in the middle of a strange dream. The thing is,…

Shawn was hard at work playing with his new toy. He put me to shame this weekend with how many pics he took. I may grab a few of his and post them later. At any rate, people are noticing how he seems to be taking after me these days… It just dawned on me…

I brought my laptop in to work today to rip some mp3s and stuff while working, but didn’t bring a mouse with me. I had this Apple mouse hanging around so I plugged it in, and it works of course… but man. Talk about style over substance. On an Apple OS you can press ctrl+click…

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…
