I realized last week that “I have too many hard drives”. I honestly kept on finding them all over the place. It was kinda weird and I wanted to get it all in order. My computer had a 120G HD partitioned into two drives and with my new data array, it was kinda redundant. So [...]

I was thinking about this before I went to bed – what does the new year mean to me? Quite frankly – nothing. What is a year – just the measurement of one revolution around the sun. Nothing really special. A more important question is, “What does the arbitrary determination of ‘January 1st’ being the [...]

Xmas wasn’t too bad. I hung out at my dad’s for a while and generally relaxed. He’s not doing too bad after some back surgery on Friday. He surprised me by getting me a new monitor. It’s something I’ve been needing for some time and is very appreciated.Later that night, however, I made an obnoxious [...]

Last night I watched Lost Highway for the first time in about 9 years. It’s a great movie – very strange and can be rather confusing the first time you see it – but I really enjoy it. Now I have ‘This Magic Moment’ by Lou Reed stuck in my head. When it comes to [...]

Already added to my wishlist!!!

I’m still exhausted today, but as bad as I was yesterday. I guess that’s progress. I ended up spending a lot of time on Amazon last night. I had a $75 gift card that I ended up getting a lot of stuff (mostly DVDs as it turns out) and that’ll be on it’s way shortly. [...]

Yesterday wasn’t too bad. I spent the first half of the day bumming around and taking it easy – always a winner for the weekend. I then did some more cleaning, got some food and my friend Pat came over. We watched some movies, hung out and were generally geeky. Good times. He ended up [...]

We celebrated xmas at my mom’s yesterday. It wasn’t too bad. I got some neat stuff, which is always cool. My mom has struggled for years finding me stuff that I like. Usually I don’t know many “little things” and can give people a nice huge list of huge things to get me – which [...]

I’m chilling right now with some Dick Dale and getting ready to spend most of the day at my Mom’s for an “early xmas” since she’s going to be on a cruise over xmas – good for her! Later tonight I’m going to be heading into Cambridge to check out a show a friend’s doing. [...]

Sometime in the car on the way into work my back started to ache. I’m trying to keep things loose, but it really hurts. Not sure what the hell’s up with that. I spent most of yesterday building a script for a customer to fix a problem they were experiencing. It took up a lot [...]
