Rants and musings, without care for substance.

This week just didn’t want to end. I feel like I haven’t had time to write, relax, watch movies, or tend to things around the house. A 60 hour week will do that, I guess. I still have about a dozen hours to make up from all of the snow, so next week will be [...]
I like throwing parties.
When a few people get together with the notion of throwing a party, there’s a mysterious mix of nervousness and excitement that surround the upcoming event. When each of the planners invites a bunch of people — perhaps with some crossover and familiarity but for the most part within their own individual [...]
Listening to my RJD2 station on Pandora, I’m feeling upbeat and slightly introspective.
Learning by example — by doing, really — is my favorite way to learn, and that is how I learned most of what I know about the technical side of theater. I’ve sat in on a few classes at Towson, but that’s the [...]

I’m going my cousin’s wedding next month in Iowa. Just put the RSVP in the mail the other morning. I hope to be booking a flight out there in the next couple days, trying to coordinate with the rest of the family. In addition to being super stoked for my cousin, I’m looking forward to [...]

After two weeks back in the pool, I’ve added a new goal to my list of things to accomplish. I’m probably getting ahead of myself with regard to the swimming, but I’m enjoying myself. It isn’t a long term idea, but not short either. Call it mid-term, within the next couple years.
The Alcatraz Challenge starts [...]
Can you believe it’s 2009 already?
I rang in the new year with a small group of 80’s themed dressed individuals at Gallery Imperato in South Baltimore. I went as Danny Noonan from Caddyshack. In addition to enjoying the change of scenery — the gallery is located in an old historic foundry — we got to [...]
Been waiting for The Dark Knight since you heard about it? Curious to see Heath Ledger’s final performance? Have a thing for Christian Bale? Maggie Gyllenhaal? Michael Caine? Hmm, or maybe you’re a Marvel DC comics fan?
How about a few rounds beforehand?
Call it a happy hour or pre-gaming if you like, but a few of [...]
No picture today, just a lot that’s been in the back of my mind lately.
I’ve been going to the gym again. It was one of those things I kept putting off (for close to six months) so I feel pretty good about it. I’m only going twice a week, but I feel healthier. I’d been [...]

I take notes about everything. Sometimes they read like to-do lists and other times it’s just things that I read or heard about that I want to investigate further. Only problem is that I don’t keep a notepad, so I end up with little slips of paper everywhere until I embark on a seasonal cleaning [...]

When I woke up this morning I felt rested and ready to get up, then I looked at my alarm clock.
3:02
Despite feeling just fine — my brain alert — I decided that it was entirely too early to start the day, having been asleep for a few hours. I rolled over and got a sip [...]
Is the screen on your iPod Nano too small to watch movies?
So that’s what popped up on the YouTube home page when I went to search for the actual video I was looking for… now on with it…
A half-dozen of us huddled around an iPhone at the diner last night and watched the following video. [...]

When you’re craving a plate you just need a plate. It’s that simple.
Not unsurprising to anyone who went to school in Rochester, that desire doesn’t weaken after a few drinks. At 4am on New Year’s Day, a man drove his Cadillac through the brick wall of Nick Tahou’s building downtown. The Democrat & Chronicle has [...]

I had a nice time at home with the family. Went for a bike ride before presents and dinner. It was my first bike ride in years, which made me consider — as I have been lately — getting a bike and getting some exercise thataway. It’s low-impact and I always enjoyed riding as a [...]
A few of us did a holiday potluck today at the office. I brought two crock pots, one with mulled cider and the other filled with half-ounce meatballs and marinara sauce (for subs). Other dishes present included Carnegie salad, cheesy corn, broccoli and rice casserole, a chocolate yule log, green bean casserole, buffalo chicken dip, [...]

After a non-stop jam-packed kick-ass weekend — including, but not limited to a holiday party at Evelyn’s Cafe (which I’d like to get back to to eat sometime), seeing (and liking) Scythian at Mick O’Shea’s, eating at the Papermoon Diner for the first (but not the last) time, going to a subwoofer shootout, DJ/MC/attending a [...]
