Am I Really This Old?
General (0)
Over the past few weeks I've been looking at the MySpace or Facebook profiles of people I went to high school with. I don't know what the deal is, but I've noticed that the girls from high school all look old. Really old... I know I'm in my mid-20s (gulp!) now, but most of the girls look a lot older than that. The guys all seem to look about the same, just with some extra weight. (Myself included) Some people are probably thinking this is some gross, stereotypical, male-chauvinistic thing to say... I should clarify that I'm not meaning old in a horrible ...

My Pet Is Cute

Champ / Sept. 24, 2006 // Charleston, Ill. I was organizing my camera gear and playing with Champ yesterday when he poked his head between two rails on the coffee table. I love this little guy.

‘The Office’ starts tonight
General (0)
Is it sad that I'm more excited about tonight's season premiere of 'The Office' than the fact that today is my birthday? I think not.

Ahoy matey

I did a podcast with Mark Summers and John Baur, or Cap'n Slappy and Ol' Chumbucket, the creators of International Talk Like a Pirate Day. Here is a different link if you are one of the three people in the world without iTunes.

Yummy Sketty

Sketty / Sept. 13, 2006 // Charleston, Ill. Matt and I hardly ever see each other. Sometimes I go a few days without seeing him, which is weird, since we sleep 18 feet away from each other. I won't name names, but some of my past roommates have done some interesting things, like washing all of our dishes with anti-bacterial hand soap... or stealing all of my beer and leaving a $20 bill in the fridge... or staying at home drinking whiskey from the bottle while playing with his gun, sharpening his knives and using my computer to look for porn. I came ...

Incredible headline

Jeff pointed me to this posting on the Deadspin site. Normally I find sports headlines to be incredibly cliché, but I can't stop laughing at this one. Link (Thanks, Jeff)

Self-Portrait

Self-Portrait / Sept. 14, 2006 // Charleston, Ill. Just a quick self- portrait that I was going to post earlier this week, but I got sidetracked with the whole virus-destroying-my-computer thing. I took this on my way home from work early Thursday morning. From the looks of the lights, I was close to the intersection of Fourth Street and Lincoln Avenue.

Confessions
General (1)
My letter to Apple: I have to confess something. Have you ever had someone else catch your eye, even though you're in a serious relationship with someone else? Even worse, have you ever crossed the line and messed around with that other person? I've done that tonight. I'm sorry Apple... Vista was so pretty and shiny -- I couldn't resist... I'm still in love with you. OK, seriously. Vista is very, very pretty. This is the closest thing I have seen to a Mac. It's not the same as using OSX, but it is a lot nicer to look at. The 'Sidebar' is pretty much the ...

Brad Pitt killed my computer
General (0)
OK, maybe he didn't kill my PC, but I bet he knows who did. I came home from work tonight with two things on my to-do list -- backup my photos and music on my new 320GB external drive and then install the new evaluation copy of Windows Vista. I opened the door to my room to see a screen saver running. I don't use screen savers. When I moved the mouse I saw a big blue box with a logo called 'PORTF***ER' (use your imagination) and it had a bunch of text and numbers scrolling way too fast. I quickly shut my computer ...

EIU 31 - ISU 21

EIU Football / Sept. 9, 2006 // Charleston, Ill. The EIU football home opener was last night. The first half was a little shaky, but things seemed to click during the second half. I updated my Sportsshooter page with some photos from the game. Sports information says that the game attendance was 7,517. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think there were quite that many (unless being in a five-block radius from the stadium equals attending the game). One thing I really enjoyed seeing was a 'Blue Crew' section. It's no 'Block I', but it was nice to see. Hopefully the section will build ...
