Another 11 hour work day, watching my brothers play lacrosse and hockey, and DCeiver’s 24gasm finale. And because last night was double the action, we get double the fun. If I seemed less than enthused last night, it was only because I could hardly wait until the master of sarcasm and reading my mind, DCeiver, […]

Ok, so the 24 finale was “shocking” but not really. I mean, it basically had all the things that people said “It would be great if this happened but they’d never do it.” Yeah, they did it.
I did, however, get 4 hours of sleep, wake up sans alarm, work a 10 hour shift, and […]

Starting tomorrow, I am going to force myself to read at least 100 pages every night. I need to write it here in order to hold myself to it. I’ve spent far too much time on less intellectually stimulating endeavors lately, and getting back into the habit of reading is good for me. I have […]

Email is a funny thing - it gets used for many purposes. Just today I got emails about a school project I’m doing over the summer, a coupon for Borders, and to schedule dinner.
I don’t really have time to pontificate about the revolution of electronic messaging; I’m just waiting for the washer to finish […]

America is the home of baseball, apple pie, and summer blockbuster movies. Well, the Orioles are in fourth place and I hate apple pie so I guess the summer movies are going to have to do.
In spite of all my psuedo-intellectualism (Atlas Shrugged is on my most recent receipt), I, like any other male […]

Sing, Kristi, Ben, and I went to the National Museum of the American Indian yesterday to see the Halau Ho’omau - native Hawaiian performances. The three men played the ukulele, guitar, bass, and ipu heke (a gourd drum) interchangeably, and the beautiful dancer danced the hula. It was pretty entertaining. Ben was transported home for […]

BAL is going on vacation, so he posted a “best of” to keep people entertained.
Oh, it’s entertaining. It starts with his first post ever, a Valentine’s Day wallowing. I checked my own archives to see what I was writing about on Valentine’s Day. Since I usually write about the day the next day, and […]

Or do. I don’t care. As I have been searching for fun things to write about lately and since nothing has happened in the last few days to really spark me, I was browsing the DC Blogs/live page as I am wont to do and found this delightful gem. Apparently people love reading about other […]

There seems to be an onslaught of interest in “Tilt Shift” photography on Flickr. Tilt Shift refers to the type of lens which lets you modify image shift on film, and more relevant to our case, the depth of field, which results in certain regions of the image being either in or out of focus. […]
