…something as simple as a nice dinner can make you feel so much better about life in general.
Though I suppose that could be the wine talking.
We went to try out Nemo out in Avon, and there was much dining happiness on the patio. Liz had a tomato salad and the escarole special; I had […]

In general, there’s been a general lack of bubblegum, and a corresponding abundance of ass-kicking this week:

Drove to Columbus with Liz last weekend
Had an awesome dinner at Martini’s in Columbus. I was pleasantly surprised to see a Vino Nobile de Montepulciano on the wine list, and the server was extremely happy that I knew […]

Yesterday we put two coats of paint onto the walls in our bedroom. It looks pretty good so far, though it was a long and tiring day. We’ll finish up today with the trim and chair rail.
We managed to pick out new carpet for the bedroom with a minimum of fuss and rather […]

We went out to the art museum to take in a lecture from Pete Docter, the co-writer of Toy Story 1 & 2, and the director and co-writer of Monsters, Inc. It was a really great presentation, and we had a lot of fun. I was particularly pleased that he went to great […]

We’re just back from the 9:45 show of Finding Nemo at the DLP screen. If anyone had any worries about how “the fish movie” would turn out, lay them aside and get ready for a treat!
It completely amazes me that Pixar is able to keep turning out such stunningly good films. The voice […]

So I survived the annoyingly long and hellaciously busy work week, but just barely. The worst day was Thursday, when I didn’t get a chance for breakfast, worked straight through lunch, and really didn’t eat anything worth speaking of until about 6 in the evening when I got a sandwich to go on my […]

I haven’t posted in what seems like forever, which is partly due to how stupidly busy I’ve been at work lately. On one hand, I’m almost done with what I am stupidly busy with at the moment, but on the other hand, I am about to embark on even more strenuously busy endeavors. […]

I keep forgetting that I get Good Friday off from work, which I always find amusing due to our Jewish upper management. Even though this is the fourth year in a row I’ve gotten it off, it always comes as a surprise. I can’t quite shake the feeling that it’s just a giant […]

Yes, I have indeed fallen off the face of the earth.
Tonight was the first night this week that I got home before 8. Ugh. Liz and I celebrated with a trip to El Tango Taqueria for dinner and a stop at Toys ‘R’ Us on the way home.
Now… now it’s time to sleep […]
