It’s a funny thing, life.
Last night I went with a few peeps to see a work friend of theirs try his hand at standup for open-mic night at the new Pittsburgh Improv. I’ve never been to an open-mic night before, and it was interesting, to say the least.
First of all, a lot of the people were FAT! [...]

Joshua and Robin’s Wedding Pics
Posted the pictures from the wedding.
There’s also some ones of me, the SLF, and my sister visiting Ryan in Philly later on that day. There are some good shots of Ryan trying on my jeans, which I think are a size too small for him.
See all the pictures here.
There are other pictures from the [...]

Memorial Day Weekend Recap
It was a fun time, although the weather was fairly crappy. The wedding on Saturday was wonderful. Robin tried to tell us that they were being all counterculture and “messing with The Man” by having a traditional wedding when they’re both such punk rawk freaks, but she didn’t fool me. Their vows [...]

Weekend Plans
Should be a busy one, as the SLF and I are heading out to New Jersey tonight after work to attend my friends’ wedding tomorrow.
Then the plan is to perhaps visit Ryan, although he’s busier than a one-armed paperhanger these days, starting a new job with crazy hours, and moving into a new place. [...]

Whaaaaaaah!!!
Why’d I sell my index funds? I would probably be sitting on about $400 mil if I hadn’t panicked and dumped them when they announced they wouldn’t be trading funds anymore.

Shame
I’ve been on a really embarrasing retro-metal kick lately, as you might have noticed by looking at my playlist or my Audioscrobbler profile. I’ve just found that it is very motivational listening to the driving beat of drums and guitars while coding. Plus, I half-watched that MTVIcon special with Metallica, which got me [...]

Grrr.
The connection at work is still completely fux0red… very frustrating. Other than that, everything is fun so far. Rode in again yesterday, and probably will do so again on Thursday, if the weather cooperates. Trying to get ready now for a database update for one of the clients, which involves loading a [...]

Rich and bored
Due to some fortuitous moves in the BS(BlogShares) funds over the last few days, my net worth is now hovering right around $2 million.
Now that funds have been withdrawn, the moves in stocks are too low (or with too few shares available for purchase) to make any sort of large moves, so I have to [...]
