Those who know me know at least one thing about me. That one thing is that it is near impossible for me to grow facial hair. Well, the last day I have shaved was October 12 and here I am 10 days later with something that is sort of looking like a a spotty beard. [...]
So, about a month ago, one of my best friends, Christy decided it was time for her to move back to California. Being absolutely devastated by the news, I tried to deal with it by putting together something to say goodbye… in this case, a music video. She would always host these music video parties [...]
While this didn’t happen in the most ideal of circumstances, right now, I’m flying on Virgin America on my way to San Francisco and I must admit, the Main Cabin Select experience is phenomenal. It turns out that on this flight, which I purchased a ticket for only 10 hours ago, the Main Cabin Select [...]
Yesterday, I arrived in Providence, Rhode Island for the 77th Annual Meeting of the United States Conference of Mayors. Im working up here through Tuesday morning. Ive never been to Providence before. It is a nice looking town, sort of like a fun size version of Boston. It has a distinct New England feel, if [...]
Those who know me well know how much I love animation and more specifically, Pixar. Pixar Animation Studios is to me, the absolute finest studio out there right now. With the release of their 10th feature length film “Up” this past Friday and now an estimated $68.2 million opening weekend and lots of critical praise [...]
This past Memorial Day weekend, I found myself at Ikea with Alex and one of the great deals that I found were picture frames. My walls in my apartment are terribly bare and my desk at work remains very non-personal, despite Lego sets and other toys that sit upon it. Picture frames though, were cheap. [...]
Those who know me and my fascination with movies know my appreciation for Charlie Kaufman. As a writer of some of my favorite movies of all time, including my all time favorite, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, he has an ability to create movies with compelling stories that are often hard to get your [...]
When I was in California more than a week ago, I found this little iPhone game on the app store on Tuesday morning when I woke up early courtesy the time difference. That little game has gone on to monopolize way too much of my spare time since then. Flight Control is its name and [...]
This morning, shortly before noon, I went to my car and found a screw nailed inside the rear-left tire. When driving last night, I thought I felt something weird, but nothing looked bad… not until half the tire was deflated this morning. A trip to the repair shop to plug a hole quickly turned into [...]
The one upside of UCLAs six seed is that they were unprotected (meaning, they were not guaranteed a spot close to home). The Bruins traveled to Philadelphia, the longest distance traveled by any single team in the tournament. I made it up to Philadelphia for the first round versus Virginia Commonwealth. Tomorrow, UCLA plays Villanova. [...]
