New Job, Day 1
Just a free minute or two on my first day, so I thought I’d do an update. Had a very nice weekend in N.J., although my friend Jen had a run-in with her landlord that I’ll have to update further on.
Highlight of the weekend? I was talking with my dad about my new [...]

American, Idle
Out in lovely N.J. this morning, after a mad dash the last few days to wrap stuff up at the old job.
This morning I went and had my standard naughty N.J. pork roll sandwich, and then I was planning on dropping by my old high school and visiting my former French teacher (I wonder if [...]

Ouch.
This just sucks. At least he’s in good company. And why am I not “Mr. Internet”?

My so-called life.
Man, so much stuff going on I don’t even know where to begin.
First off, as Brian alluded to, I have indeed found new gainful employment, and I’ll be finishing up here this week. Tons of stuff left to do, lots of little projects to clean up, documentation to write, knowledge to transfer, paradigms to [...]

War, Redux
I saw this morning that Jason Kottke has written a synopsis of the war that sums up my general feelings much more eloquently than I did. Give it a read.
Speaking of war news, Gawker has a good post about where to get up-to-the-minute war updates, if you care.

Vampire-Free Zone
I would just like to apologize in advance to my pod-mates at work. The SLF and I went to Gullifty’s last night, and stuffed ourselves at their bi-annual Garlic Fest . We had a roasted garlic spread appetizer, and for dinner I had the 20 clove garlic chicken hoo-hah. And today you’ll [...]

Brian has a good writeup of the show we went to last night. Besides, I’m so damn hungry right now I might pass out if I don’t eat, so I’ll do that instead of posting.

Allll we are saaaaaying, is aaah-nevermind!
Protesters rattle rush hour
I happened to catch the tail end of the march. It’s nice to see some level of activism in such a blue-collar town, but I decided yesterday that regardless of my ambivalence about the war on Iraq, that I really don’t like people that are irrationally deep on either side; [...]

War (deja vu)
War has started, and it all feels strangely familiar. I remember when the US-led coalition attack on Iraqi forces in Kuwait started. I was downstairs at Ryan’s house, sitting on the floor with Ryan and his folks around the tv watching the news. We had just launched about 300 Tomahawks, and the [...]
