Stuff White People Like

Thursday, February 28th, 2008

So who’s heard of this site? Stuff White People Like. It looks like the kind of thing that should be wildly popular, but I just saw it, and enjoyed it enough to read the whole thing, today.
I have a vague uncomfortable feeling telling me I shouldn’t like it. (Cuz it’s wrong to stereotype, even if [...]

silver screen

Monday, February 25th, 2008

Watched the Oscars last night, with a group of folks who all competed for who could pick the winners ahead of time. I didn’t do very well, but didn’t really expect to. I did correctly predict Best Picture, though :).
I really really really want to see Persepolis. Gah.
And the lead actress from Enchanted (which I [...]

First day at my new job.
I have a window.

I have *two* monitors.
But seriously. A window!!

Back in Black

Saturday, February 16th, 2008

The blog and gallery are back in action! I’m still not sure what happened. I had to go to the user forum to get help. But, now I know how to add new data values to my database. And I am not going to use Gallery Remote anymore.
I’m back from New York City. I was [...]

Big Day

Today, three major things are happening, all at once.

It’s the Virginia Primary. I voted and I hope you did too. It actually means something this year.
It’s my last day at my old job.
I’m leaving for New York City tonight! Josh and I will be there for a couple days, over Valentine’s Day (aww). It’s my [...]

Has to be Hass

Monday, February 4th, 2008

We toured the wedding spot on Friday. I was prepared to like it almost no matter what. Weather.com said we’d have 0.5 inches of rain that day. Not ideal, but workable. We entered I-95 in the mist of a torrential downpour. When calling the tour guide on the phone to say we were running a [...]
