I'm tired. I can't fall asleep to save my life. This past week at work has been Hell. That's a bad combination. So this might be a little more bitter than I you're used to. Just thought I'd warn you. You'd think a little appreciation for doing something that isn't even my job (I was unknowingly volunteered to do it by my boss) would be easy, but no. Instead of saying "Damn, Stephen. That's great looking" or even a "cool, thank you," I was asked to change it into the most nonsense order of information I'd ever heard of. I didn't have to ...

This has Dr. Phil written all over it

Not quite a creepy fog, just enough to be pretty. After all of the holiday madness, this is what my head feels like. Put down the straitjacket, I'm not feeling all gloomy and sad... just a little lonely in this ghost-town known as Charleston. In the past month I have gotten a job, done a lot of fun things with friends, spent a lot of good time with Mal and had several personal projects to keep me occupied. I've been surrounded by people for a while now. But now I'm in the post-holiday twilight zone. All of my friends have gone home, Mal is ...

Mister Pibb + Red Vines = Crazy Delicious

SNL, NBC and Apple have given us a very awesome gift. Last Saturday, there was a short rap video sketch called "Lazy Sunday" that is, quite possibly, the funniest thing I have seen on the show in years. Now, you can download it for free from the iTunes music store. Now playing: "Lazy Sunday" Saturday Night Live Saturday Night Live - Lazy Sunday

Behold the Power of Haas
General (0)
I had come across this site a few years ago, but it has recently been brought back to my attention through the A Photo A Day group. It creates slogans based on whatever word you put in... I like my name, so I used that... Life Should Taste As Good As Haas. They're Yummy For Your Haas. Tough on Dirt, Gentle on Haas. There's First Love, and There's Haas Love. Two Hours of Haas in Just Two Calories. You've Got Questions. We've Got Haas. And possibly my favorite: Hungry? Why Wait? Grab a Haas. I typed in Mallory's last name, and hers are fun too... Men Can't Help Acting On ...

Poor Danny

Danny has crossed over to the dark side... and I don't mean reporting or ad staff... he got engaged over the weekend. You can read all about it over on his blog... I'll give him a hard time about marriage and growing up, but I really am happy for them. I guess that means I have to ask Mal sometime soon. (I use the phrase 'sometime soon' in it's truest meaning of 'in the next 30 years') If I were Danny, but still the jerk I am now, I would mess around and say things like "I got you a ring like that ...

More fantastic feline fun
General (0)
Hehehehe... My little Max. Max decided to prove to Gretchen that he had claws. I told you I was going to try putting things on the cats at home. We put earmuffs on Rascal, a stocking over Scamp's head, but this one turned out the best. I'm going to send this one to stuffonmycat.com and hope they run it. My allergies about killed me this weekend. My lungs started to tighten up, which made me wheeze. It was a blast... How can something so cute make me feel so miserable? Christmas was great this year. I got a lot of stuff I wasn't expecting and ...

Scamp hanging out under the desk at home on Thanksgiving. Max relaxing in the computer room at home. I'm going to be at home for Christmas Eve, but I'll post more pictures of our cats when I go back to work on Christmas Day. For some reason, I miss the cats really bad. Although after about an hour of not being able to breathe, I won't miss them so much. In case your craving to see pictures of cats hasn't been met, I offer you stuffonmycat.com. I can't stop laughing about some of these. Rest assured I will try this one while I'm ...

Fun night with the gang
General (0)
I went out with the crew from the night desk at work to a Mattoon bar called "Spanky's" tonight. Despite the name, I really, really like this bar. It wasn't what I had in my head... Although, I had to pretend I was gay to get a guy to stop buying drinks for one of my co-workers... that was kind of fun. This drunk, obnoxious guy wearing suspenders (and a belt, such a no, no) sent two beers to Brooke and kept checking her out while we were there. So I sent one to him, made eye contact, winked and then kept ...

Meet my new friend, Wentworth Thor
General (0)
Somewhere in this ultrasound is a baby, or part of one, but I can't find it. OK, so you can't meet him yet, but my friend Juli found out today that her baby is going to be a boy. I've already named him Wentowrth Thor, but she thinks that she gets to name him because she's the mother... Mal has already claimed to be the aunt, so I guess I'm going to be an uncle? Apparently other women can tell what the sex of the baby will be by how big it looks, if it's low or high, some might even smell it... ...

My favorite from the night… If I were a smug,…
General (0)
My favorite from the night... If I were a smug, pompous artist, I would call this one daffodil and then make fun of you for not knowing why. This almost looks like a detail shot of an exotic silk... or maybe it's 2:45 a.m. ... I had the chance to go up on the roof at work tonight, so of course I was all over it. Kevin wanted to take an overview of the holiday light display at the park across the street, but I figured it was a good opportunity for a camera toss. Both Kevins were up there watching me throw, lob and ...
