more foster puppies?

we had a foster puppy for about a week or so before a family had adopted her away. in that short time we had really grown attached to the puppy. i was talking to john last night about it and he said the best way to get over the sadness of having a [...]

cowboys vs. packers

i went to watch the cowboys/packers game with dardy at st. john’s tonight. it was an entertaining game, the packers kept it close, but the cowboys really bested them. it’s too bad that favre got hurt early in the game, dardy left the game saying that it was a bit of an empty [...]

things that make me happy

it’s sort of silly what sorts of things make me happy at 3AM in the morning. last night, i was going to link an image from the wedding gallery to the blog and it dawned on me that it would be really cool if the image loaded changes every time the blog is loaded. [...]

posting pictures

i think that i am generally pretty conservative of the number of photos that i post, but when i went through our photographer’s photos for the wedding, i came up with about 15 pictures that i wanted to post. 15. out of 1500. that can’t be right.

not hungry today

it’s weird. i went home to make some lunch and eat something, but by the time i got home, i wasn’t really that hungry. in fact, i just thought to myself that it’s weird that i haven’t had anything to eat all day today and i’m not famished. what is going on?

microwaving hot chocolate

it seems that i learned a valuable lesson table. if you try to microwave hot chocolate, keep a close eye on it.
i microwaved some hot chocolate and left it unattended for a minute. when i opened the microwave half of my hot chocolate had boiled over onto the floor of the microwave. [...]

battlestar galactica: razor

i went to see the battlestar galactica razor premiere at santana row earlier this week. it was a cold evening and we went to see the 10PM showing. i was sort of expecting there to be mobs of people and the cinearts theatres are pretty small, so i wasn’t sure if i was [...]
