The Hanukkah Dilemma
My garbage disposal/sink doesn’t handle potato peels all that well. Maybe this is something most latke aficionados have learned themselves, or from someone else. However, I rarely do the cooking and have never helped before this year with latke preparation, and I was not expecting this dilemma at all.
Fitness: Paaht II
It has been 2 months and 10 days since I started working on some new fitness goals. I’ve posted a screenshot here that you can checkout to see the progress I’ve made (the spreadsheet, not the cat). I have had 4 measurements since my baseline, and I’ve made steady progress and am now just starting to see results, and though they’re modest, I’m very happy with where they’re going. Before you click the image, I haven’t measured since October 17 because of my recent job change, but will be measured again this week. When I do, I’ll update this post. All disclaimers aside, here’s the progress I’ve made thus far: Read the rest of this entry
A new chapter. Well, a new job. But it has to do with chapters.
I’ve been slacking on the writing… normally I do something every two or three weeks, but I’ve let it go five weeks now I believe. Usually this means a blog is dying and dreams of being an aspiring popular blahgist are crushed by the reality that only the few readers you’ve gotten are going to keep looking at your Internet drivel and you’ve come to accept that you will never attain even Internet-mediocrity, but will reside with the other 4 billion people who blog about their irritable bowel syndrome and how they keep thinking they are being abducted by aliens.

Hear me now and believe me later.

Red Hot Chili Peppers live broadcast from Cologne, Germany
As soon as it was announced the Peppers would be broadcasting a live concert from Cologne, Germany to theaters around the world I checked to see if tickets were available in Phoenix. Knowing I live in the 5th largest city in the U.S., I had little doubt, just wondered about location. Fortunately, there was a theater just 10 minutes away where it would be playing.

A Starbucks survey
If you know me, and you see that I have an opportunity to fill out an online survey, you really shouldn’t ask me to do it. Read the rest of this entry
Up Yours, 36.

Getting older has not bothered me. I turned 20 happy that I was no longer a kid. My 30th birthday felt like a milestone in that I had passed the all-knowing 20′s into the “I don’t know shit” 30′s. It was liberating. Nearing 35 I gained confidence in myself and became less-likely to tolerate what I considered to be bullshit.
But now 36 is here. I’m not happy about this one.
