Wow I've really lost the habit of posting on a regular basis. Time is flying. We've received wedding pics from my cousin. He really didn't bring his A-game and I am disappointed, so is J. However, for the sake of family harmony, nothing must be spoken. There are still a lot of good pictures, so it's not like it's a total, or even a partial disaster...between them and the pictures provided (so far...

Dear recipe_trade , As part of my 101 Things in 1001 Days project, I am trying to broaden my cooking horizons. So for the next three months, the plan is to cook a "new" and "exotic" dish every week. I could always go hunt down recipes on the internet, but I find that my experience is always best when I get recommendations from my friends. So, dear flist, do you have any fun/new/exciting...

mousme has lent me the first book in the Dresden Files series and I gotta say I am hooked! Thanks mousme !!! I'm currently on the 4th book. I managed to find them in pdf format to soothe my impatience and sense of convenience and I promptly ordered the first three omnibus hard cover selection from the book club (I should get them next week). This gets me the hard covers for the...

Cobra - The Musical III was awesome! A huge thanks to mousme for inviting us out. It was totally twisted and funny as hell. I feel really pathetic that I (think) I got most of the GI-Joe references (I'm sure there's one or two in there I missed)...I want to go watch old GI-Joe cartoons now. I'll be browsing youtube for a while to come I think. The only downside is that neither of us (me...

Whew...it's been a while and lot has happened. The wedding went off with only minor hitches (as weddings often do). maya_banana worked so hard and everything was just awesome. Due to the sleep apnea and general sickness, I hate myself for being generally useless during the planning so I took it upon myself to be at the venue early to handle any possible issues so that my bride could focus...

cofax7 : Monday links, and some pondering - I frequently see derogatory comments out in the blogosphere about LJ bloggers, implying that anyone writing on LJ isn't worth paying attention to. - (tags: gender lj ) bplutchak : ...because, IT ISN'T OVER IN RL!!!! - I've learned these two things which I believe apply: walking on eggshells because you are afraid your feelings...

I thought this conversation would leave me angrier than it has; it's frustrating, but not on the level I was expecting. If nothing else, the fact that I went in to the conversation expecting to gain nothing and get nowhere leaves me rather immune to disappointment. It's given me a chance to articulate things I believe but rarely talk about, at any rate. I have started a post about what people are...

Today was an unmitigated disaster. I spent way too much of it angsting about an email I needed to send to (to use mousme 's nomenclature) Idiot!Client about The Time-and-Soul Sucking Project That Would Not Die. It was supposed to be short. It was supposed to be done on Friday afternoon. It was supposed to be only 4 pages of proofreading which is why I accepted the job when I was already in...

'Nuff said. I'm off to Hurley's. mousme : I have your crack yo! The truth IS out there! (I don't know where that came from...seemed appropriate. Please forgive me).
