PSA: LotR:TTT DVD DOA

August 30th, 2003 Leave a Comment

I exchanged my defective copy of The Two Towers at Suncoast today. Once I got it home to examine, though, I encountered the same chunky picture and freeze at the 167′64″ mark. I checked over at DVDtalk.com, and it seems that I’m not the only one to get bitten by the Chapter 51 […]

For Those Keeping Score At Home

August 30th, 2003 Leave a Comment

Everyone (sam16, supercarrot, mokatz) made it here safely last night, albeit a touch later than previously anticipated. I guess 2:30 sort of counts as “midnightish,” right?
Liz and I had decided to stay up to meet people rather than leave doors unlocked, so we amused ourselves with dinner, some various but by no […]

Nibbled to Death

August 29th, 2003 Leave a Comment

The week thus far has been jam-packed with irritations and frustrations that have left me tired and cranky.
Sunday night: Bad thunderstorms in the middle of the night that woke me up for awhile.
Monday: Bad thunderstorms in the middle of the night, seemingly centered directly over our house. I was awake from about […]

odd day or two

August 26th, 2003 3 Comments

I’ve been really nervous yesterday and today. I think it’s because I’m nervous about my current job (cause I’m being given such a hard time about stuff) and nervous about the job I have applied for (one would think I would hear something this week). All this nervousness is making me go back […]

South Park Diet

My mom asked me this morning how the South Park Diet was going. It’s the South BEACH Diet, not the South PARK Diet. What would the South Park Diet be anyway? Pot pie, cheezy poofs, cake and pie?
Anyways, I’m doing pretty good on the diet. 4.5 pounds down in a week. […]

Lazy Weekend

August 24th, 2003 Leave a Comment

For the record, lazy weekends pretty much rule.
Friday night we watched Bowling for Columbine, which simply has to be seen to be believed. It’s scathingly funny and incredibly depressing at the same time. Brilliant.
Saturday we slept super-late, which felt great. We went out for lunch, which turned out to be a disappointment, […]

Name change

I’m updating some marketing pieces, and it’s just odd getting rid of CWRU and putting in Case. (FYI: There’s a new logo and EVERYTHING. Check it out . I especially like the stupid flash thing.

diet update

August 20th, 2003 Leave a Comment

I’ve been on the south beach diet for two days now. It’s actually not bad. I’m not starving and not stuffed, a happy middle. Mike seems to be coping pretty well with this diet. He’s REALLY digging the hot breakfasts. And loved the meals that I’ve made for the past […]

Cars, Irony, Justice

August 19th, 2003 8 Comments

Before we left for vacation, I had a weird experience with the fuel gauge in my car. I had filled it with a full tank of tasty 94-octane love, only to burn the first half of it in about 50 miles. Especially troubling was that the fuel gauge dipped a little over an […]
