Halloween has always been such a mixed bag for me in the last ten years. The last time I went trick or treating was in 8th grade when I went as the wolfman. That was probably my most involved costume I ever did, back when I knew lots of the tricks and secrets [...]

There’s one feature that I kind of wish I had on my website that I’m not even sure how to implement, but it’s a nice feature that I’ve seen over at LiveJournal: a space with each entry where you can put your mood and what music you’re listening to. I guess it probably wouldn’t [...]

My Mom made an observation about my comments regarding some of my decisions that I made when I was 18 that I thought would be appropriate to share with my readership:
“Duh.”
I hope that she wasn’t just referring to me, but to all 18 year olds. I’m sure if I had a window into any [...]

The car’s OK, at least for now. I got it back on Friday afternoon, and it turned out that it was leaking both oil and power steering fluid, so it’s a good thing I got it in when I did. I thought that the three quarts of oil in two days would have [...]

I had a change of plans yesterday. Originally I was going to take MAX downtown, meet my Dad, and we’d grab a beer at Bridgeport so that I could get my debit card back. When my car began needing triage, I changed my plans so that I would DRIVE downtown (it’s been a [...]

Well, here’s to doing stupid things.
I went back to Bridgeport last night to enjoy cheap pints of beer, and after having some good conversation while there, I left and got back on the Portland Streetcar and made my way to a MAX stop. As I waited there for the train to come up the [...]

As the comment on my last entry clearly states, I’m not the only one in this job market who’s struggling to stay sane. No offense to those of you out there who are unemployed like me (Paul, Kristine, and I’m fairly certain you too, Michiko!), but I’m glad you are. If everyone I [...]

I installed iTunes for Windows the other day, and I must say I’m impressed. iTunes is Apple’s online music store where you can pay $0.99 for a song or $9.99 for any album (at least of the ones I’ve seen). You can put your songs on a portable music device like an iPod, [...]

Odd, very odd indeed. It seems that every time that I check my mail in the last couple of days, I keep getting old notifications of website entries. I just checked my mail now and I got the one that was sent out on Tuesday, believe it or not. So if you [...]

I’ve got a bee up my bonnet, but I promise this will be the last time I talk about this…until next year, that is.
I’m SOOOO tired of Chicago fans moaning and weeping over the Cubs losing in game 7. I had a conversation cut short on me by a Chicago friend because I brought [...]

Another day, another…wait, I can’t finish that one. No job, so I didn’t even make a dollar. Spent a few at lunch with my sister, but eh, that’s to be expected. I have to spend SOME money, otherwise I’m just sitting at home twiddling my thumbs–while looking for a job, naturally. [...]

I hate to be the one who says it, but to all the Cubbies fans out there, the ones screaming for blood for the poor Cubs fan who deflected the foul ball last night at Wrigley, prevented the left fielder from catching the fly into the stands and thus exteended the inning that the Marlins [...]

I went out to a McMenamin’s tonight and met my friend Mike, and we had a few beers and watched game 6 of the Cubs/Marlins showdown. I know that not many of you are following it too closely, but here’s my experience of the game for the night:
-I start watching in the second inning. [...]

So I’m sorry to all you Cubbies out there, but I watched the Cubs/Marlins game last night, and the Cubs were DESTROYED. Not destroyed like they took apart the Marlins by 9 points, but destroyed by great pitching and a fantastic infield. The Marlins pitcher only gave up a handful of hits in [...]

Man, you have no idea how tedious it is to copy over all the pictures and code from one page to another. As I said earlier, that means that I’m taking the opportunity to clean up the code a little bit to reduce the size of the page and to adjust the spacing and [...]
