2011, I'm Closing The Book
Highlights and lowlights:
An earthquake and a hurricane in one week
Started infusing vodkas to GREAT success
The blizzard that wasn’t, back in January, which snarled traffic so badly that one of my pals who works in my neighborhood bailed on his commute home and crashed at my place after a night of barhopping
January Wilmington trip: all the usual awesomeness, plus day drinking and Elf...
The Danger in Using Office Supplies to Keep...
My double sided tape has been lost to the wind. It’s somewhere between here and Los Angeles.
My bet is that it’s somewhere in North Carolina.
EDIT: The last time I remember using it was in Arrowhead. Instead of me getting souvenirs from MaxFunCon, MaxFunCon probably got a souvenir from me.
EDITED EDIT: I found my tape, on a shelf in my linen closet, almost perfectly at eye level,...

I am coming for you.
AS ALWAYS, details are posted on the UPCOMING PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS page of my website.

hahaha totally me earlier!
I don’t get it. Awkward because you’re supposed to be cleaning and you’re not? Or awkward because you’re dancing? If you feel awkward dancing alone, how in the HELL will you EVER dance in public?
If you don’t dance in public - at the very least, at weddings - we can’t be friends....

Der Uberlist
In short, the Uberlist is a list of 100 things plus a varying number of additional things that reflect the last two digits of the year during which you want to accomplish everything (so for 2012, uberlists will have 112 items).
Were I not at work, I’d have a couple of links to explain better, but since I’m at work I have this.
Anyone interested in joining me on an Uberlist...
Quietly chuffed
woodsman:
8 kilograms lost in 6 weeks. Well, not lost. Burned away by the fiery maelstrom of my will. Nearly halfway to my target weight. Saving what would be travel money for ‘target achieved day’, when I replace my whole wardrobe with clothes that will actually fit properly, instead of looking (as they do now) like I’m a little kid dressing up in his dad’s clothes.

On Eating
More specifically, on dining.
This past Sunday, I spent the day with two friends from my mostly-forgotten (blocked out?) middle and high school years. It was really fantastic, I got gun shooting lessons (for some reason, I always specify that it’s gun shooting or shooting a gun), my one friend got to try out her new gun for the first time and my other friend got to teach me how to shoot...
