it’s okay, I’m with the band… (my gold mask concert)

Friday, May 29th, 2009

Back in February, Dani and I stumbled upon a concert while joining up with some friends at the bottle…  Through the wonders of the interwebs, I have been able to sort of keep tabs on one of the bands and then recently found out they would be playing in my neighborhood… last night…
No worries though.  [...]

being productive (a stick figure puppet show!)

Wednesday, May 27th, 2009

A year or two ago, I started a comic-like-blog-thing… a little side project called The Fledgling Adult…  It’s been on hiatus for about a year now, which is really a shame.  I liked the blog-thing, it was just time consuming…
Recently, during one of my sushi lunches at work, I decided to have a little fun.. [...]

home sweet ..ikea… (making my apt more like a home)

I am a strong believer that we should have more three-day weekends.  I will admit, though, that these extended holiday weekends really don’t hold the same meaning as they once did.  I’m not overly patriotic at all, nor am I necessarily sympathetic with the military… however, at the same time I do think it’s sad [...]

dating – I’m still trying (or: explaining Dani’s two call rule)

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

When it comes to dating (not necessarily relationships) and pursuing people, I’ve had some interesting experiences since my last relationship (which ended 4 years ago).  For a while, I wasn’t ready to date again — not necessarily because I was “so heart broken” but because of some other life events as well.  However, when I [...]

Daddy? I want to be a scientist….

If you ever wanted to know more about me, well xkcd has a very fitting comic that might help:

When I saw it this morning, I knew I had to print it out and add it to the small collection on my wall…  I could see this scenario playing out in my life.  Flying shark and [...]

Have you met the floor?

Thursday, May 14th, 2009

Ah.. Spring is here… Everything is this luscious shade of green, the birds are singing, flowers blooming, everything with a pulse is on a quest to shack up, and world around me begins spinning and tilting to the point where I begin spontaneously falling.  Along with my pollen allergies, I can always tell when spring [...]

oh babe, I really hate to go…

What do you do when you find yourself being attracted to someone who’s leaving in two weeks?
I don’t mean moving to a different neighborhood or anything, I mean moving.  Packing everything up and moving hundreds of miles away.  You’re just getting to know someone, to really enjoy them… and then before you can catch your [...]

puppy love (or: why I really don’t *need* to adopt a puppy)

Friday, May 8th, 2009

That handsome boy is my Dexter.
Also known as The Best Dog Ever.
I got my DexterBoo* for my 14th Birthday.  All those years of having “puppy” on my birthday and Christmas wish lists paid off.  I don’t know what my mom was thinking or why she caved, but what kid is going to argue — I [...]

proof! (looking cute while playing a baritone is a challenge)

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

While I do love the combo of my pink mouthpiece and my blue (azure/turquoise) dress… like I mentioned, it is a challenge to look damn cute while playing a bariphonium.  I did look cute though.  And that night my bandmates and I nailed the damn awesome part.

greetings! from… not new zealand….

Well I’ve returned from my short-lived affair, gallivanting with kiwis… Though my love for Jemaine will never die, there are just things here in the Second City I can’t abandon… not to mention the whole long-term girlfriend/WIFE that he’s got…
I’ve got responsibilities to my kittens (who celebrated their first birthday a couple weeks ago… well, [...]
