Superman Returns

Well, I went to see the movie Superman Returns last night.  It was absolutely spectacular.  I haven't been that enthralled in a movie since I was just a kid.  I sat in my seat glued to the screen at every moment of the movie.  Not once during the entire 2.5 hour movie did I look at my watch or think "is this over yet".   I...

The Morning Run

Well, it seems that running at 8 PM for 3 miles makes your legs a little too sore to do it again 9 hours later at 5 AM. I only hit 1.5 miles today. I could have pushed it a bit but didn't want to hurt myself. I'd rather do 1.5 miles for a few days and then get back to 3 miles on a regular basis than hit 3 miles two days in a row and be unable to...

Power overwheming

A new MILEstone

Well, without even realizing it or thinking about it (I was watching TV in the gym) I hit the 3 mile mark. I was barely tired and looked down to see I was at 2.78 miles so I figured, "why not", and ran out the full 3 miles. I feel great. Hitting the 3 mile mark is a huge goal of mine so that I can burn those extra calories every day and lose the...

Monday Report

So this weekend was exhausting. I was up at 6 AM on Saturday to get to work for 6:45 AM in order to do work on the servers. The schedule was to be done by noon, but as it often happens with scheduled downtime various things went wrong and we finally wrapped up at about 2:30 PM. After that we had lunch at the 99. After that I had a few fraternity...

The Battle of the Bulge

** Disclaimer - the following post is not trying to be depressing, self-indulgent or self-pitying. I'm simply putting all of this out there in the hopes that writing it all out will help me understand it all and to continually give me the motivation to do what I need to do to get healthy. Plus it puts everything in perspective since I'm going to catalogue...

Red skies

So the thunderstorm this evening just came through. As it rolled in the sky was still blue and clear to the east and it was coming in from the west. The setting sun reflected off of the thunderclouds as they rolled in. As the storm got closer and closer overhead the entire area was covered in hues of blood red. It was especially eerie looking out...

Just my luck

So I brought home the halogen desk lamp that's been sitting in my office for almost 2 years now, ever since the bulb burnt out. I finally go to the store and get a new bulb. I put in the bulb, plugged it in and the thing just blew out the new bulb. I go to switch it back to off and the switch doesn't want stay switched back. I finally get it to...

General Update

Well, not a whole lot of new things happening to report. Jon, my current roommate, leaves at the end of this month to start his new lease in the Boston area. Thanks for being a great roommate.So I don't have much in the way of leads for new roommates which is worrying me a bit. Next month is going to be very tight. It's a combination of expenses that...

Party Time

Well I had a fantastic birthday/housewarming party on Friday night. To anyone I may have neglected to add to my invite list I do apologize. I'm forever being forgetful there. Try as I might I always seem to forget someone I should have on the list.It was great to see Travis again. I haven't seen him in about a year and a half. His boyfriend was...

Each one was a limited one-night engagement; one in December, one in February, one in May and the final night in June in NYC.I am very happy with my peformance and truly feel it was one of my...

It was electric. Win or lose, I can be very proud of this performance.After the performance I had a very lovely dinner with my Dad and Lisa. Fantastic...

Lots of Shiny

So as you can tell, I didn’t go to bed immediately after the last post. I ended up going to the Apple store on 5th Avenue with Sarah and Mike. I have to say it certainly was interesting. It’s still just a store, especially once you get down below then it’s just like any other boxy store. I’ll give Apple one thing though, it certainly knows how...

Off to sleep in the city that doesn’t

Well, we made it down without too much traffic. We did it in just about four hours overall.Once we got here we settled into our hotel rooms and waited for a bit before going to the Comedy Cellar to see some comics. There were a few good ones, such as Sherrod Small and several that were a waste of my time, notably Dave Attell. He just seemed like...

The Road Ahead

Well, I’m off to New York City in just a few hours. I’m going to pack my bags and head down to the Great White Way for the second year in a row.The preview performance was last night and it was incredible. Every time we perform this show it gets better. Who knew that a show written, rehearsed and performed under the effects of sleep deprivation...
