HalloBirthdayWeen 2006

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

Had a great birthday / Halloween party this Saturday. My lovely wife Kelly invited my friends over, and secretly invited them to dress up for Halloween without my knowledge. I had known about the party, but only learned of the costume part on my birthday when Kelly gave me a Black Knight costume (from Monty [...]

Birth day followup

Thursday, October 26th, 2006

Followup to yesterday's post, I had a very nice birthday. I Worked a half-day, and after leaving the office at around 1:30pm I wandered up to Powells Books to look for new books to read, and picked up the first book of the "Ender's" series Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card, a series my brother [...]

Birth day

Wednesday, October 25th, 2006

On October 25, 1974, at approximately 6:50 AM, the skies darkened and the Earth shook. This is the day I was brought into this world, and it was forever changed. Well, ok, maybe not, but still I can dream, can't I?
Turning 32 isn't that big a deal, much like turning 27, 28, 29, [...]

Finally, the fence is done

Sunday, October 22nd, 2006

Finally finished painting the fence. What a chore, but it looks a lot better than it did before. With Kelly's help, we also got a good portion of the inside done too (minus the areas where getting behind the shrubs made it too difficult). That's alright though, that can wait until spring, I'm just glad [...]

Fence & Sixpence

Saturday, October 21st, 2006

Today I got a bit more work done on the fence of doom, hopefully tomorrow I'll finish the outside of the darned thing. At this point, I'm pretty much thinking the inside will have to wait for spring, as it's getting harder and harder to find dry enough weather (when I'm not working, and when [...]

Bowling, Beer, and More Beer

Friday, October 20th, 2006

Yesterday, my company had a "team building" event at Hollywood Bowl (no, not that one, a local bowling alley). We all left the office at 1:45, and by 2:15 I was trying my best not to suck… it'd been several years since I last bowled. Pretty fun time really, my first game I scored a [...]

Decemberists (with a demon)

Tuesday, October 17th, 2006

Tonight my good friend Miranda and I went to McMenamins Crystal Ballroom to see The Demberists perform, on the first night of their tour supporting their latest album The Crane Wife. It was a really good show. I have no photos because I was cautious and didn't bring my camera (figuring it wouldn't be allowed) [...]

Well darn it anyway

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Yeah, I know, two posts in one night. Well, there's a good reason. Just after I finished writing the last post, I get a call from K. As part of her job at CompuHyperGlobalMegaNet (as GhostDog would say, and yeah, same place) she was invited to a VIP event tonight to the Oregon Museum of [...]

Sgt. Slacker

Wednesday, October 11th, 2006

Yup, that's right, I've been slacking on the blog. No shocker there I suppose. Between my job keeping me plenty busy the past couple weeks, and the sudden urge to take care of chores around the house (before winter sets in), I haven't really had much too much to write about, nor the time to [...]
