year end thoughts

i guess it was inevitable that i would start writing this post. it happens every year and i was wondering when i would get around to thinking about this last year. a lot has happened in this year, as with any year, and i should do this year justice by reflecting on some [...]

new year’s eve party

this year i’m throwing a new year’s eve party at my place. presumably there will be some drunken fun as well as some potsticker making. i’m hoping that the potstickers will be made before the drunkeness starts.
i personally like more laid back new year’s celebrations. i don’t really like going out, and [...]

i went snowboarding the other weekend. i guess the thrill of it is lost on me. i’m not really into doing anything crazy anymore for fear of hurting myself. after the shoulder injury i had earlier this year, i am much more reluctant to put myself in high risk [...]

11.5 gram poker chips, revisited

[url=/image.php?image=/images/2003/1230/IMG_3483.jpg&title=CHIPS!][/url]
i found them on the cheap and got me some. i bought out the inventory that the store had, it was a shame that they didn’t have more. oh well. they are some NICE poker chips. it definitely makes the ones i have feel pretty flimsy and it makes the plastic [...]

LAN party

over the weekend a few friends of mine got together to relive some old memories via a LAN party. for those of you not in the know, a LAN party is when a bunch of people drag their computers over to somebody’s house and then network them together and play games against [...]

crazy rain ranting

( rants )

man, it’s POURING right now. i forgot to bring a heavy jacket with me so i have a very thin jacket with me that will be just thick enough to soak all the water from the rain. this is just great. it doesn’t look like there’s an end in sight, either. [...]

sickness

oh dear. it’s come over me again.
it’s a sickness of sorts, really. when it first came, it swept over me like a plague infecting my every breath. each breath became progressively more difficult. as i labored to recover and try to remember what life was like before the sickness, i could [...]

working blues

today resumes the usual work blues. i guess this weekend wasn’t as relaxing as i had hoped. it wasn’t nearly as productive, either. i’ve got a lot of cleaning to do still.
there is a tradition at my household where we clean up the house as much as possible before the new year [...]

failed beginnings

it was about this time, i think two years ago, when i was on the brink of pursuing this one girl. all seemed well enough and i was beginning to develop an interest in her. it seemed that things were mutual, and just as i was about to make my move, i found [...]

all work and no play…

sadly, i’m at work today. it’s hard working when virtually EVERYONE no one else is at the office. is that cause for concern? not really. it is probably one of the most vacationed away days in the year, after all.
but i am actually getting some work done, surprisingly. go figure, [...]
