Rants and musings, without care for substance.

I’m a morning person. There’s little better than waking up at 7:30 to a soft and crisp breeze passing through one side of the house to the other. Its air conditioning, by Nature. I can hear birds chirping happily outside the window. This is my favorite time of year, where the price of comfort indoors [...]

A close friend and I have always talked about opening a bar. We’ve got a name picked out and everything. I think everyone dreams about running their own place at least once, having conversations that start with the phrase “if I owned the bar…” and ending with some absurdly crazy thing they’d like to have. [...]
I’ve seen Shutterfly prints before, but I had no idea I could pickup my Shutterfly prints at Target.
Shutterfly charges $0.19 per 4×6. That’s pretty cheap considering the quality of the product, but their standard shipping and handling takes 7-10 business days. I couldn’t wait that long. Target charges $0.25 per 4×6 at their kiosk. Still [...]

I saw Shoot ‘Em Up last night.
Wow. More specifically, holycrapthismoviekickedsomeass. Just like you wanted to go race after Gone in 60 Seconds or The Fast and the Furious, you’ll probably want to go to the shooting range after this one. A shame there aren’t any 24 hour ranges around here.
Clive Owen is a riot. Some [...]

After the minor flooding incident on Thursday night, I hauled out two buckets of water to dump into the street. As I was about to pour them out I saw a beagle scampering up the road towards me without an owner in tow. I got down, put my hands out, and called the dog over. [...]

It took us a few hours, but we successfully replaced my hot water heater with only one minor injury. I assisted my buddy with much of it; my soldering skills are horrible, but I was fine with the 240V line. It didn’t go quite a smoothly as we had planned, but the solder is holding [...]

Listening to the soundtrack from Garden State, grooving to Thievery Corporation. That obviously doesn’t suck, but it certainly helps insulate me from the following.
My hot water heater is leaking water and might be on its last legs. The base shows signs of rust and the concrete below has signs of calcium build-up from water that [...]
We throw a pretty mean party. Amidst beer pong and flip cup, four people got haircuts on the deck just before midnight. We’re so extreme. They didn’t look too bad this morning either. We ran out of brew around one and twenty of us ended up walking to another house (because the kegerator there was [...]

Due to a poor laptop security policy, here are some snippets from the diary of an American Community Survey (ACS) Field Representive.
