Some things can be shared, and others should always remain private. Borders‘ bathrooms are public, so is this story… It was Late Spring 2001, BJ, Jeff, and I converged on the Gilligan household to meet up with Dan and head out on a search for an apartment big enough to hold the four of us. [...]
At this time a week ago, I was sitting alongside my compadres-in-dorkdom, Eric and BJ, and we were eagerly anticipating the start of “the event of the century” as our fearless leader of the “Fellowship of the Trilogy” called it. Though we were still 2 hours away from start time, the blood was flowing, our [...]
I’m about to leave for my duty as line place holder, but I wanted to enlist your help with something. This morning, Bob and Madison were playing some of their favorite 80′s (and some pre-80′s) love songs. Songs like “I Can’t Fight This Feeling” by REO Speedwagon, “My Love” by Lionel Richie, and the immortal [...]
I’ve been warned that my excitement might be misconstrued as gloating, so I’ll try to keep this brief, but tomorrow BJ, Eric and I will be attending a 12 hour marathon viewing of all three LOTR movies (The special edition DVD versions of the first two and the newly released final film). Our understanding of [...]
It’s raining in the Triangle tonight, and the temperature is hovering just above freezing at 33°F which means what is normally just “wet and rainy” weather becomes “it’s nasty out there, you be careful driving home”. It’s a nice sentiment, showing that you care enough about a complete stranger to send them on their way [...]
Ask me what the ratio 136/140 means and rather than respond with some guess near 0.9714 I’ll tell you it’s the grade I received on a final in a class that I struggled to “find my own” in this semester. A class that I should have done well in because I took the undergrad version [...]
Even though my mom made up for taping over it by buying me the video one year for Christmas, nothing, not even an angry old man and his exam, will stop me from watching Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer tonight on TV. It’s sick, but I think it’s actually better with commercials. Note: I did say [...]
To celebrate the supposed end to one of the projects I’ve been working on, I went cell phone shopping today (with no real intent of purchasing today, but hey, carpe diem). I’ve run into a real dilemma because I want to get this phone but they don’t appear to carry it anymore. Then my second [...]

It’s a bittersweet feeling knowing that my favorite NFL Team’s best mid-season acquisition was the wife of starting quarterback Tim Hasselbeck. Sweet because she’s that hot (and I’ve felt this since her Survivor days), bitter because the Redskins are that bad. I guess I should count my blessings. At least we didn’t pick up Kurt [...]
