Perls

Friday, September 30th, 2005

So tonight, Sarah, Chris and I went to see Itzhak Perlman perform with the DM Symphony. We sat through the pretty enjoyable first half, waiting for his performance the second half (guest soloists usually play one concerto, not throughout the rest of the concert) I had forgotten that he drags his […]

Branson

Tuesday, September 27th, 2005

Chris, his parents, and I took a 3-day weekend and went to Branson…’twas quite fun except that Branson is far enough away (8 hours) that you really need more than 3 days. 2 of our 3 days was spent driving, but we had a full day Saturday and some of Friday night. Didn’t […]

I have the attention span AND the work ethic of a 5-year-old today…

Lord Of War

The movie. Go see it. Very nicely done. It’s quite depressing to get a glance at how people/parts of the world are (Hollywood-ized I’m sure, but still). There’s a lot of good one-liners too (not the cheesey kind)

Moving

My how quickly things change.
Over the past couple weeks I’ve gone from having no roommates (when Sarah is in Florida) to having two roommates. One girl will live with us as Sarah is in Florida (or at least for some of the time while Sarah is gone). We’re starting to look at […]

Record breakers

Some people just make you feel better about what you do with your time Funny how he’s accomplishing something…but not really.
And is it just me, or does the last sentence in the article make absolutely no sense with what he’s doing!?

Explicit Lyrics

Friday, September 16th, 2005

I plugged my iPod into speakers by our community lab computer and put it on shuffle so we have a nice mix to listen to while lab-ing. Usually when a song comes on that I don’t think is appropriate, I’ll walk over and skip it…although I found out this morning that plan may not […]

Sometimes I feel like one of these on a treadmill ;)

Now this I’d like to see
I wonder if they’ll have to poke and prod her onto it like I have to do to myself…then will she be a sprinter? Long-distance runner? Will she keep a steady pace or really push it to get her heart rate up? And finally…will she wear sweatbands […]

On the fence

Wednesday, September 14th, 2005

For most of my life I’ve had a hard time forming a passionate opinion when it comes to social policy/politics, etc. Maybe it’s because I can be wishy-washy or, according to a book I flipped through, a mediator, but I can always “see both sides” Maybe I haven’t felt firmly enough about what’s […]
