Friends at Rose & Thistle

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

Went out this evening to Rose & Thistle with Miranda & Brian, and Mr. & Mrs. Ghost Dog. It had been a while since Kelly and I had gotten together with these kids, especially the Ghost Dogs. Had a great time catching up, chatting about all manner of things, from Lost, to Battlestar Galactica, to [...]

Weekend report

Saturday, February 24th, 2007

Well,week w/o posting again. Here's a quick recap. Tuesday I met Snooks at Kennedy School for a little bit, finally feeling well enough by this point that I needed to go out and have a couple beers. Thursday, met up with Snooks again, and my brother Travis, at Moon & Sixpence. Hadn't been there in [...]

Company party, and more sick?

Saturday, February 17th, 2007

The weather today was fantastic (60 degrees and sunny) so I finally spent some time in the yard, doing some much needed pruning of the roses. Lots more to do, but at least I've made some headway.
Tonight my place of employment threw a big party at a downtown club called Aura, to both celebrate the [...]

Back from the dead, mostly

Friday, February 16th, 2007

Well, as of Wednesday I've been back at work, and mostly finished with my cold. It's still hanging on, and I'm getting the feeling that it will be for some time. I'm still tired (usually asleep by 10:00pm) still have a bit of a stuffy head and cough, but at least I'm no longer incapacitated, [...]

More Sick

Sunday, February 11th, 2007

Yesterday I hate a WHOLE Pizza (13" Tex Mex from Hot Lips). After eating said pizza, I felt a little better, and sleepy. Got about 10 hours of sleep last night. Woke up feeling OK, but now I'm feeling really teary-eyed and sniffly, with a tiny bit of a cough coming on. I have a [...]

Sick

Saturday, February 10th, 2007

Very sick. Got about 12 hours of sleep last night but I feel like hell. I really want it to go away. Now. Perhaps beer will cure me. Probably not, but it might be worth a try later. Urgh.

Company party… with added sickness

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Woke up yesterday with the beginnings of a head cold; stuffy head, slightly sore throat, etc. After work Kelly and I stopped by a friend's birthday shindig at Zaytoon, but bowed out early and by 9:30pm I was in bed (which, as many of you know, is practically unheard of).
I woke up at about 7:00am [...]

Unusual Workday

Wednesday, February 7th, 2007

After a few stressful weeks at work, SuperSweetCo released a new product, along with updates to existing applications and a new website, late last night. Today the team I've been working with were given something of a reprieve / 'thank you', starting with breakfast at Mother's Bistro & Bar from 9:00am to 10:30am, followed by [...]

Saturday report

Saturday, February 3rd, 2007

The beautiful weather we've been having here in Portland over the past several days didn't hold. Figures… great weather during the work week, and then Saturday rolls around and it rains. Well, it didn't rain much, but enough to keep me from wanting to outside and do anything. Tomorrow is supposed to be nice (sunny [...]

Friday, finally

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

After a very hectic week at work, it's finally Friday (hooray!). After leaving the office I took the bus and met up with K at Rose & Thistle for some some dinner (crab cakes for K, and a delicious meaty stew for me) and beers (mmmm… Gunness). After the bus ride towards home we stopped [...]
