Man Eats Monkey Chow for a Week

Unbelievable. He finished at 9pm tonight. One more video still to come. http://www.angryman.ca/monkey.html

DC Fun

Wednesday, June 7th, 2006

Last night, I took a detour through downtown DC on my way home from work. Even though it was one of the heaviest traffic nights I can remember, I had a good time downtown. I had dinner at Ben’s Chili Bowl on U Street in the jazz district. Ben’s Chili Bowl has probably the best […]

Happy National Doughnut day!

Friday, June 2nd, 2006

Hope you all had an opportunity to celebrate national doughnut day. I celebrated by bringing Krispy Kreme in to work for breakfast today. Mmmm Krispy Kreme. Okay, I admit it. I’ve had four today.

85 Degrees and no A/C

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

Tonight, our house’s central A/C unit froze up.  I noticed just after 8pm that it was really hot upstairs.  I checked the thermostat on the first floor, which was reading 80 degrees.  It was set to 72.  The A/C was running hard, but the air wasn’t coming out cold.  I looked downstairs and all the […]

Beach weekend

Tuesday, May 30th, 2006

This past weekend, my extended family took a trip to Virginia Beach. Vicki and Jim, my dad’s cousin and her husband, and their daughter Jessica opened up their beach house to my grandpa, my parents, my sister, one of my best friends Michael, and myself. We enjoyed a quick weekend of beach activities with perfect […]

Another thought before I go

Friday, May 26th, 2006

I need to become more decisive.  I can make big decisions, but I have a very hard time making little decisions and it tends to pull me down and drag me through the mud.  If you catch me being very indecisive, please call me on it.  It’s past time for me to do something about […]

Out of town Saturday and Sunday

Friday, May 26th, 2006

I will be out of town and likely without internet this weekend, so don’t expect to hear from me.  Hopefully, I’ll have some more in-depth posts ready for you all when I get back.  I’m also hoping that there will be less pollen in Virginia Beach than there is in the DC area.

Car upgrade and fiasco

Monday, May 22nd, 2006

My least favorite part of working at Digital Sandbox is the commute. This morning, I had my fastest morning since we’ve been located near Worldgate. It was about 40 minutes. My commute typically takes between 45 and 65 minutes, usually about 55 in the morning and 45 in the evening. The office is a little […]

“I do not intend to cloud the issue with facts”

Sunday, May 21st, 2006

Good quote from Mr. Banks in Mary Poppins.  One of my largest frustrations is when someone has all the information available to them to make an informed decision, but chooses to not even look at the information, and instead makes a silly and uninformed decision.  Alternate expression: “I’ve got my mind all made up, I […]

Good quote about wages

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

I liked this quote from Michael over at You Can Know God: Waitresses make $1.50 an hour and a share of the tips, bringing them up to a “normal” hourly wage. But the tip is arbitrary and changes from night to night. That defeats the intention of a gratuity, which was to give the server […]
