Puma Voltaic

I snagged a new pair of sneaks last night, and I’m fairly pleased with them:

They’re my first pair of Pumas, and they’re totally comfortable. Here’s hoping they hold out longer than my Medium’s, which blew out on the right side of the right shoe a few weeks ago (much shorter than I expect shoes [...]

Bowie’s in Space

I think this speaks for itself:

The Darjeeling Limited - Trailer

Oh wow…imagine my delight when visiting Apple’s movie trailer page I discovered the trailer for Wes Anderson’s next film, The Darjeeling Limited.
I’ve known this movie was coming for quite a while, but I nearly squealed with excitement when I saw the expected release date in late September this year.
This is definitely a film I plan [...]

New newphew or niece on the way!

I’ve gotta shout a HUGE congratulations to my older brother, Tom, and his wife who have informed the family that they’re expecting a baby!
As we understand it now, they’re looking at an April due date, but I’m sure more details will emerge after a series of doctor’s visits.
Anyway, Tom, I love ya, and I’m so [...]

Glorious Weekend Ahead

I’m pretty psyched…I have a killer weekend ahead of me.
Besides the fact that today is Friday, I’m looking forward to a number of events and activities.
One of my best friends is getting married this weekend, so:

3. Tomorrow afternoon [...]

100% Awesome

What could surpass the half-hearted attempt at melding my favorite carbonated beverage and pop-culture icon, Chuck Norris?
Well, honestly, lots of things…
But surely easy recompense involves this superb clip of Conan O’Brien vs. the Texas Ranger himself:

60% Awesome

This doesn’t come close to living up to it’s potential, but any commercial featuring my favorite soda AND Chuck Norris can’t be all bad.

When the bogey man goes to sleep at night, he check’s his closet for Chuck Norris…

Stress Test

Wow, things are ramping up like crazy at work…
A good work buddy of mine who’s been here the entire time I’ve been employed gave his two weeks yesterday. Thing is, this guy is the only one in the building who does what he does. This means that another co-worker and myself are spending [...]

Early to rise…

Val recently decided that she’d like to be added to my YMCA membership, so we’re going for the family plan. Thing is, Val gets home much later than I do on a given day, so we’ll be going together in the morning.
Before work.
Arriving at the Y around 5:45.
AM.
Today was our first day of this…ahem…”unique” [...]
