...Im ready to go! Yup, things are packed, and stacked. Floors are vaccuumed, walls are cleaned, and even the oven is scrubbed. It is time to get on the road and make this thing happen. But before I go, a few thoughts on California.... Wineries....Awesome! Traffic....Gag me. Weather in winter....Excellent! Weather in summer....excruciating! Beer....well its no Fat Tire. Olive oil....freaking

Ahhh, what a nice relaxing weekend. I am really glad I intentionally got most everything done before this weekend so I could just go do cool stuff. I went out to the wine valleys, I ran by my olive oil place, I tried to buy a coffee table at IKEA (unsuccesfully), and I went to a Mormon potluck dinner. Okay, well the potluck was at least funny. I went and visited my cousins down in Livermore

I had a pretty cool day today. The guys at work have obviously given up on trying to get any real work out of me now. They just kind of let me do my thing and talk to them before I leave and stuff. Some of them I am gonna miss, cool guys and all. Tonight Shane and I went out and got a couple drinks to celebrate my new job and his hefty promotion. It was great, we talked to this guy with the

I will make a post. So you wanna know about me? You wanna know what I have been doin? Well other than making this huge life changing transition in my life, not a hell of a lot. I have pretty much completely checked out at work. I think I probably got about 20 minutes of work done all day today. The rest was spent talking to people about how Sacramento can lick me. hehe. I also bought

Sorry for another no post. I have no idea what my prob has been lately. So I burned the hellout of myself yesterday. I was making a roast (probably my lst in Cali) nd had heated up some oil wicked hot. Then I put the roast in it and it slipped from my tongs and splashed up my arm. Good God it hurt! Packing is going well. I just hate how when you re packing your place becomes a total

Can I just tell you how hard it is to try and work at a place that you know you are only at for another week? Diving into yet another iteration of selecting the equipment is just not something that I much feel like focusing on. I find my mind wandering to going to a Rockies game on a weeknight, or hopping in the car for the 4th of July celebrations. Then there are the plays that I will

Suprisingly everyone at work has been really cool about me taking off. This means 1 of 2 things. 1) They understand my predicament and they really do wish me well or 2) I was gonna get fired anyway, this just makes life easier for everyone. Either way I am out of there. Spence is gonna go look at some apartment for me this weekend, so that is way cool. I have the truck setup and ready to

Ah working out the move. Getting boxes, planning trucks and people to help pick up furniture. What fun. Well not exactly, but it is the cruddy part of a really good thing, so I do not mind much. I called them and told them that I will not be able to start until May 3rd, which will give me a chance to party in Laramie for Megans birthday, as well as just get good and setup before work starts.

Well I know this will not reach everyone, and I will be calling many of you, but I have made my decision. This morning I accepted the job in Denver and quit my job in Sacramento. I was hired on with MKK Engineering, a fairly major engineering firm in the Midwest. I will be out of Cali in 2 weeks and into Colorado shortly after that. The more I think bout this, the more excited I get. This

For those of you who do not know what I have been hinting at lately, I will finally tell ya. I have 2 job interviews in Colorado this weekend. Saturday morning I have one in Colorado Springs, and Sunday morning I have one in Denver. I am leaning towards the one in the Springs, but I guess I will see when I get there. Both places want me out there as soon as I possibly can, so it is quite

Sorry for the poorly updated blog this week. Just been lost in thought and worries I suppose. I tried and tried and tried again to buy an iPod mini last night and today. I called every electronic store in town and looked all over the internet. Apparently they are sold out EVERYWHERE! Not wanting to be denied a cool new gadget that I had ramped myself up for, I decided that I would just buy

Not a crazy weekend by any means. Just a lot of decision making. I really would like to talk about what is going on with me right, but I just do not think that now is the time or place to do it. Give me until next Sunday tholugh and I will be happy to fill everyone in. I did manage to get addicted to a new game this weekend though called ZUMA. I hope you do not get as addicted to it as I

At this moment, what is your favorite... 1. ...song? I have a couple. Nerd - She Wants to Move and Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps. 2. ...food? Ummm, I kind of like everything. Last night for instance I grilled eggplant, sliced REAL mozzeralla cheese on top of it, then coated it with a dollop of olive oil and some balsamic vinegar. Finish off with just a touch of basil and I was set. 3. ...tv show?

Here is a nice little pic site I put together of all the cool places we ate and all the stuff we imbibed. Oh yeah, this is the one you do not want to miss. I am not the best programmer in the world, so I suggest looking at the page full screen. Hopefully you will not have to scroll around too much. And with that, I am out for the night. Later.

And I really do not know what to do about it. I do not want to say much about it right now, but there could be some major changes very soon for me. Aside from that though not a lot is going on. Just reminiscing about the time I was in Vegas and I bought a 60 oz beer in the shape of a football on St. Patricks day. Good lord that was a good time! Then going to the Rio afterwards and having an

So I managed to kill yet another mouse while I was gone. I think it must have died recently though cuz it did not smell too rotten. Work freaking sucks. I gotta say that if there were a way to just chill out the rest of my life I think I would have to give it a shot. When I walked in the door at the office today I think I aged 20 years in an instant. I was a cool college kid for a week. I

So I had an incredible time on my trip. We did more things than I can even attempt to talk about right now. I hope sometime in the next week to post a mess of pictures as well as a brief synopsis of all the cool places that we went to. And let me tell you about the food. Ohhh the food. From the Chiule Rellenos with Pat, to the Chicken Fried Steak with Megs Aunt, all the way to the habenero

Ok, just so everyone knows, this is kind of where I will be. Saturday I will be staying in Albuquerque with Pat. Sunday I will be staying in Tucson with Megans family. Monday it will be Phoenix with some friends of Keiths fam. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday I will be in Vegas. Friday we will stop in Utah and stay with Keiths grandparents. Saturday we will get into Laramie and stay there.

1. What was the last song you heard?“Fell in Love with Boy” – Joss Stone. A good cover of a White Stripes song from a couple years ago. I like it. Jazzy and seductive. 2. What were the last two movies you saw? That ultimate turbo Passion of Christ to the extreme. Oh and I rented Matchstick Men. Good flick, never did like Nicholas Cage that much though. 3. What were the last three things

Thanks for the kind words everyone. The car thing was very disheartening, but its not the end of the world. Not like a lost a leg or anything, just cool tunes. If nothing else I feel violated, and not in the good way. Now I am going to be looking at all my neighbors with a hint of "you took it!" The people at work were pretty cool about it too. They told me some people I should call to

Yup, so the inevitable finally happened. I woke up this morning, did my new do (and it is cool), ate my breakfast and headed out to the car. The first thing I noticed was one of my highlighters lying on the ground. Thinking how odd it was for me to have dropped that I noticed my door was unlocked. Crap, I left it unlocked. I looked in the window and sure enough the car had exploded inside.

Went and got a haircut today and I let them just kind of do what needed to be done. It hink I look about 10 years younger now. Seeing as I looked 32, that is a good thing. So many stupid computer problems tonight I can not even start explaining it. Stupid new computers and getting them to run just right. Oh well I suppose, gave me something to do tonight.

The choir concert was excellent and made me remember why I decided to join it in the first place. We sang so well, the audience clapped and clapped, and the orchestra was worth just hearing alone without singing. Now I am not saying they are worth 74k to listen to them, but it was nice all the same. Oh, and I talked to the girl I like (the one who blows my mind when she sings in French.)

What was.... 1. ....your first grade teacher's name? Boy that is tough, I think it was Mrs. Hill though. Evil woman at that. I remember I had a bloody nose and had to run to the nurse. When I got back I was in a ton of trouble for leaving. Dude, that was a lot of blood! 2. ....your favorite Saturday morning cartoon? Easily it was Garfield....at least when I was little.

This is my first post from my new computer! It just looks so much better, huh? Well maybe you can not see the results, and maybe I can not either...but it is cool anyway. The new computer also explains my absence from a post yesterday. After a multitude of problems (mostly caused by myself) I am up and running again and at a new blazing speed.

So even though all of you have told me a hundred times, "Nick no need to bother exercising....it will not do you a bit of good." I went ahead and did it anyway. Now before you all get into how exercising hurting more than helping, especially in the long run what with disease and all let me tell you why I did it. I was bored. Thats right, I was bored so I decided to exercise rather than take

Lots and lots and lots of choir this week. I have the normal Monday rehearsal, the Friday rehearsal, the Saturday rehearsal, and the Saturday concert. I suppose it will keep me good an occupied instead of sitting around thinking about the trip. Makes time go a little faster I hope. In any case, wish me luck! I have to go into downtown Sac a lot this week, which really is not a joy ride!

How many movies did I watch this weekend? Let me see believe the total comes to five....and here is what I think. Strap in. Pieces of April - I really wanted to go see this movie when it was playing down at the Crest. I never made it though and it just came out on DVD. This movie was about a daughter trying to reconcile with her family before her mother died. Great movie. I enjoyed every

Work is a bear....screw it. I gotta tell you, I have a wicked craving for Frosted Flakes right now. Like really really bad. Tempted to go get a small box and eat it all right now. Ya see Tony the Tiger and I go back a long ways. He was so much better than all the other jokers out there. Capn Crunch was only good with Crunchberries, but even then it tore at the roof of your mouth so bad it

Holy crap! It is raining like I have never really seen before. The wind is blowing fairly hard (hey 35mph out here is like a hurricane) and they expect us to get at least an inch today and more tomorrow. What a storm! All my windows are whistling with the wind, a sound I had quite honestly forgotten about. That whistling is always in the background in good ole Wyoming. In any case, I

Hey, sorry for the missed post, but I was up watching the Pokes. Good freaking lord! Well I am not gonna knock them, but next year had better be a little better than this. Gag me. I almost forgot that I have a big concert coming up in a couple of weeks. The music we are doing is really pretty awesome. I hated one of the pieces all the way up until last night when it finally came together...

Nice and boring weekend foir myself. Well I went and saw Eurotrip on Friday (freaking hilarious...want proof? Click here!) Saturday went and hit a bucket of balls. Surprisingly I suck at golf nearly as much as I always have. So to make up for it I went and bought a golfing game that takes little to no actual golfing skill. Hit the ball far and put it in the hole. So simple! Pokes lost

Why do you taunt me so? I see you around on most every corner out here. Your cute little panda taunting me into coming in and enjoying your food. Which brings me to your orange chicken. Let me tell you something about that. I have done some extensive research and found the only way you could make the stuff more addicting is if you doubled the amount of crack already in it. Good god Panda,

Wow it is freaking pooring outside right now. And for the first time since I have been in California I felt the wind. Beautiful blowing wind. Well a slight breeze in Wyoming terms, but a wind nonetheless. Okay, so I stopped writing and went out and played in the rain. The ducks are so freaking cool! I do not know if it was some kind of mating ritual or what, but I think the ducks were

Oh yeah, pulled the win against the Utes tonight. From what I heard we had a pretty good game, and I will take that. I also saw that AirForce lost to some Texas team 37-35. For some perspective, the halftime score of the Wyoming/Utah game was 35-30. God that had to be a dull game to be at. I had a really good time with my Aunt and Uncle and cousins this afternoon. Well after I somehow

Ahhh, got a major cleaning out of the way today. I cleaned things that have probably never been toucched before. Now my place does not have that peculiar funk that has been looming in it for some time now. My trip to San Francisco was really great. First off we went to the Jelly Belly factory and the olive oil place to stock up on some goodies. Then it was off to the pier. Ah the pier, so

The friday five this week was a little too deep for me, so I picked an old one that is not deep at all. 1. What brand of toothpaste do you use? Crest fresh herbal mint. Yum. 2. What brand of toilet paper do you prefer? Charmin of course. It has to be squeezably soft! 3. What brand(s) of shoes do you wear? Well the shoes I wear to work are Clarks, bit I love nothing more than a pair of

In my quest to see all the movies people have talked about through the years, but I have never seen, I rented Trainspotting. A young Ewan Macgregor stars in this drug filled flick. In any case it seems like most of the movies people talk about are all about drugs. For instance, Requiem for a Dream. Totally screwed up druggy movie....and it was awesome. Today was the best of days. It is

And did you also know that I get this coming Monday off? Holy crap I had totally forgotten about that. It could not have come at a better time either. I think I will go to the big city this weekend and hopefully take a picture or two for all you cool peeps. The big push to get the BIG project is finaly over. The verdict? An okay job with lots of little problems. Good thing it is not for

I love these goofy things running around everywhere. In the pools, on my porch. They hate it when you chase them too! Not a lot going on right now so I thought I would try to brighten everyone's day with a picture of my favorite neighborhood ducks. They make me laugh and I figured they could do the same for you. I am almost in the clear at work now, so a lot of laziness for a couple days is

Well work has been a bear for about 2 weeks now. The job goes out on Wednesday, so hopefully I just have one more day of work I would deem about as hard as college, the week before finals. Things are going well aside from that though. It seems spring break plans are coming along well. Other than that I desperately need to clean my place. Any volunteers?

Well aside from my incredible Saturday at work (gag) it was an okay weekend. Today I drove out to Sonoma for a bunch of cooking demonstrations using olives and a ton of wine tasting. It was a lot of fun, and totally free. I tasted some excellent food and learned all about this raw food diet. Nothing can be brought to a temperature over 105F....which when you think about it is about as hot

1. Where are you right now? Sitting at home in my underwear and a tshirt on a Saturday night. Ah bachelor life...think I should have a beer. 2. What have you lost recently? My enthusiasm at the workplace. To many hours can do that to a man. 3. What was the first CD you ever purchased? Does that embarrass you now? I bought 2 at the same time. I walked into the Laramie Walmart, the old one,

How does this crap happen to me? I do everything in my power to avoid having to put in this extra time, and yet this will be the seond weekend in a row I have been asked to help out. And it is kinda funny cuz my boss asks me in the most shy way. How it really went.... Boss:So uh, do you think maybe, uh, you know, you could put some, um, time in this weekend and help out a little?

Well I found out that I can not use my cool free flight voucher for one of my friends. Bummer. In that case it looks like I will be hanging out in the south for a week. Well hopefully anyway. I am just looking forward to getting out of SacTown again. It is a fine place...but the little apartment is bugging me out. Alright day I suppose. Nothing fantastic happening in y neck of the woods,

I have to admit I am really enjoying the new season of American Idol. I think the that the talent is already a lot better, as well as a bit better looking. Last season was great, but I will be the first to admit that the look just was not there. Hey, I am only 22 still, I think you have to be 23 before you can stop gushing about this kind of stuff! I am working on some spring break plans.

Well it is a typical monday, so I frankly do not have a whole lot interesting to say. I ditched choir a little early, naughty me. So to fill in for my lack of talking I searched for something cool....and this is all I could find. Okay, so maybe it is not THAT cool, but it does a kill a little time! Have a good one!

Well that game started off as one of the most boring I have ever seen. This includes the infamous 49ers slaughter of my beloved Broncos. But in the end it turned into a fairly entertaining game. So I guess the big question is which commercial was your favorite. For me I think it would have to be the Bud Light commerical where the couple is riding in a horse drawn carriage. The woman is

You have just one a million dollars. 1. Who do you call first? In my frantic button push9ing I would probably call whomever is at the top of my list of numbers. Let's see....oh it looks like Alexa gets the first ring. 2. What is the first thing you buy for yourself? A plane ticket. To get the hell out of California and go somewhere where a million dollars can actually get you a house. 3.

Just so everyone knows, my good friend Megan (the one who leaves a lot of the comments) now has her very own blog that I helped her get up and running tonight. It is really excellent and I expect some really good posts from her as the days go by. So guess what? TCU (Texas Christian University) will soon be a player in the MWC. I guess we saw this coming for awhile, but still I think it is

Holy crap! Keith and I happened upon one of the coolest internet thing I think I have ever seen. In a nutshell it allows you and your friends to listen to the same playlist at the same time. Both of you can add music to it and pause it and everything. Not only that but you can change backgrounds and send pictures and another thing called winks, wihich are pretty much animations that appear

Oh boy did the ladies ever get chewed out tonight. I mean, you have heard of a cheer-ocracy right (thank you Bring it On)? Well there is definitley a sing-ocracy as well. The ladies blew their part tonight and boy did the conductor ever lay into them.

I really did not do much this weekend. I guess I cooked some but that is no big surprise. I did go see Along Caqme Polly with Ben Stiller this weekend. It was alright I suppose. There for a little bit I thought I was going to get to hook up with this really hot girl who sat next to me. But soon enough her buff boyfriend showed up with popcorn.

Oh and I am also really into Eisley - Marvelous Things. 2. ....food? Carb Smart Strawberry ice cream. Good God that is the most sinful stuff I have ever had! 3. ....tv show? Another tough one.

Ahh another day in California, another day of delicious sushi and sharing the story of my nudist neighbors and the now infamous meatballs. I love having that story, for it inspires some of the best jokes from anyone who hears it. Also I have to say that I love Moulin Rouge. It has been awhile since I watched it, but what can I say? It is one of a few select movies that gives me chills every

I am not even sure of all the things I lost, but I am sure something was important. I have never seen a hardrive crash before, but what a rush as you see your work dissapear before your eyes!

I was absolutely thrilled to catch up with my college friend Christine this evening. We went for about 8 months without talking to eachother, and frankly it was too long. Interestingly enough she is a contractor now. Simply amazing! Part of me is happy we did not talk for so long because we each had time to get into our own fields and settle in after college. Talking to her made me realize

The comedy club on Saturday night was a blast. I think I learned a few things about men and women too. Apparently men are pigs, while women have something called a menstrual cycle, which guys do not want. Also, apparently guys do not like their mother in laws. Who knew? Once they got past that typical crap (did you know black people are treated differently by police?) they were actually

1. What time do you wake up on weekday mornings? Hmm, all depends on if I am gonna shave or not. But mostly either 6:33 or 6:40. 2. Do you sleep in on the weekends? How late? Yeah, but not as late as I used to. I miss waking up just in time to see the sunset. Mostly it is like 8:30 or 9 though. 3. Aside from waking up, what is the first thing you do in the morning?

The ones in the shells force you to slow down when you eat them. You stop eating when the salt has

Well I could not be happier with the start of the season. It sounds like Adams had a hell of a game, and aside from our free-throw shooting it was all pretty good. Makes me happy and brightens my day. I also had my first review today. That sure was something. I did not get my walking papers though, so I would have to call it a success. Actually it went pretty well. Overall they seemed

It is true! I spent about a freaking hour tonight sewing 3 buttons back onto my shirts. I think I need some practice. My thumb is not very happy right now. Went and checked out the bar scene last night. I am used to having college kids at a bar, not people that could easily fit in with my mother and possibly grandfather. It is one thing to see some young chick grinding against a college

Alright, I left a little blurb about this before, but I feel it is worthy of its own entry. I am seriously in love. I mean look at those lips alone. And the opening scene still leaves me messed up in my head. I shall marry you Scarlett Johannson. Oh yes, I must.

What's something you are looking forward to.... 1. ....today? Coming Home and playing more Prince of Persia. Hopefully I get to leave work early too! 2. ....over the next week? hmm, I suppose that my friends will get back from college break and will get on AOL again soon. 3. ....this year? Definitley getting out of this apartment and into a house. I am more excited about that than anything

Well things with the house fell through for now. All because we got stuck on the lease. I offered a GOOD deal of money to buyout my apartment lease (the full amount I would have saved in the 6 month period before my lease came up), but still no. So I suppose I will save a few bucks before now and the end of May and buy a recliner that I have been desperatly wanting since I got here! Things

Well I have some potentially really exciting news, but I do not want to jinx it by talking about it right now! In any case it will be tough to sleep tonight. The weekend was great and much needed. I cooked a lot and really made some fantastic meals. I think I am going to make a little site on the side here for all my cooking stuff. Let me know what you think. I watched a couple movies,

Due to what I would consider an overwhelming response (both my readers chimed in) I am continuing the Friday Five. Read it or do not, either way it is sticking around. 1. What was your biggest accomplishment this year? Easily that would have to be graduating and getting a job. Also I really got very far into SSX 3. Very proud of that! 2. What was your biggest disappointment? Hmmm, I had to

And what a New Year's it was! I spent most of the day sitting around without power because of a wicked cool storm that blew through here. I must say when it wants to come down out here it freaking can. Well due to a conversation I had with some folks back in Casper, I will be retiring one of my favorite things to do, but apparently not so fun to read. The Friday Five, unless I hear something

Well I made it to good ole Wyoming. Had a great couple of parties with Meg and Keith. Like really good ones. Then we went to a basketball game and had a wicked good time. Like a really wicked good time. My sister came up to hang out with us. That was fun, she has a new car and I thinhk that eventually she enjoyed being at the game. Today I head back to Casper to be with my family, and of

IT'S HERE! WOOHOO! Tomorrow morning at 11 AM I hope on a plane to Denver! I can not believe how long I have been waiting for this moment. Oh wait, right about 6 months I suppose. I got my project done and out the door and I am just rearing for a great Christmas break. I know it is going to just whizz right by, and I really hope I get to see everyone in my short time home.

Well I am one 12 hour day closer to being home this week!I really hope someone is noticing all the hard work flying out of my cubicle in the past week. I am pretty much designing an entire hospital (if Ken reads this I do know it is an MOB) by myself as my first project ever. In any case it is a lot of work and it all has to go out on Friday...so life has been at a hectic pace. It really

I get to go to Laramie and Casper, nah nah nah nah nah nah! Boy, can you tell I am excited to head back home? I hope it is as great as I have it in my head. Odds are it will not meet my dreams, but close would be nice! It will be so nice to see everyone, and get a chance to check out the Pokes again. Until then though I have a major major project heading out the door. Work is a little nuts

Yup, I am still dinking around out here. I have been incredibly busy since I last talked to you all. So let me fill you in! Friday we had the children's matinee. 3000 children were bussed into downtown Sac to watch us sing. It really was quite amazing and made me feel like a rock star! We had glow sticks that we lit right when the lights went down. Holy crap they went insane!!! I hve to

First off, sorry for the no shows lately. I promise I will be better next week. So we had our big office party tonight after work. Let me tell you something. Office parties are NOT for the employees, as you might expect. Oh no, they are for the clients and people we outsource work to. You should have seen all the hoopla surrounding this stupid party tonight. It was hard to get anything

So we did not win the game. In fact we lost pretty badly. But it was still a great time. There were probably 30 or 40 Wyoming fans there rooting them on. We did all the classic cheers, even when we were down by 25. It was cool to talk to this person who was from Sheridan, and that person from Cheyenne and Gillette. Some graduted in the 90's, some as far back as the 50's. But all were

Oh I have so much to look forward to right now! The concerts are coming up and I am getting really excited for those. Tomorrow I am doing my duty as an avid Poke fan and driving out to Berkely (and missing some work....oh the sacrifices I make!) to see the Cowboys play! And then it is now only a week and 3 days before I will be partying it up in Laramie with my good friends! Good Lord there

Oh yeah, it had better be good too. I need something to make up for the turkey disappointment! Nice and lazy weekend. I beat a whole game on friday with my friend KEn. We rocked it! 8 hours of killing orcs and olaphants. Very very fun. Ate what could only be defined as a ton of wings dripping in vinegar and just had an all around good time. Let me tell you about this week. I am stupid

1. Do you like to shop? Why or why not? Sure I like to shop. Well I like to shop my way anyway. I am not much of a clothes shopper and I really cannot stand millions of people. Pretty much I like the electronic stores and the home decorating ones. 2. What was the last thing you purchased? Now I should not go saying things I just purchased round Christmas time. It might give it away! (For

Had a deadline moved up about 2 weeks today, so it was a little frantic. I put in a solid 11 hours, which is a little long for me. Enough whining about that though. I gotta tell ya, living in the magic fairy land of student loans was great. Here they gave me money and I did not have to pay it for 6 months after I graduated! Wow, a whole six months. Seems like a long time. Like so far away

Wow, I thought last night's Simple Life was good. Tonight's was awesome! Paris got totally decked out just to impress some country bumpkins. God she looked stupid, it was great. Then while they were working they went and got in the hottub. You know, if I decided to go jump in the hot tub in the middle of the work day, I reckon I would get fired. Not a lot going on today, so I think I will

Quite possibly one of the best reality shows aired tonight. The Simple Life starring the infamous Paris Hilton was on. Oh my God it is going to be so good. The idea that it is only 30 minutes long makes me want to cry I think. They are SOOO out of place. Not to say that I could have plucked chikens myself, but still freaking hilarious! If you missed it tonight you HAVE to catch it tomorrow!

Okay, so I am jamming out on my launchcast today when a song comes on and I start the toe tapping and the head bobbing. I was just kind of grooving in my little cubicle when I started to think "Who was it that did this son?" I opened up the little window for the radio and saw one of the most horrible sights in the world. Jennifer Lopez staring right back at me. I stopped tapping, stopped

Welcome back to everyone! I hope you all had a great Thanksgiving, because I sure did. I ran around Northern California all the time. My Thanksgiving feast came out pretty well, though my turkey was a little tough. Not sure why, but it might be the brine. Oh well, the stuffing was excellent. Shane also made some excellent pecan pie (I know, I cheated a little). We went to San Francisco and

Well here it is. Thanksgiving is here, which means I have been out here alone for nearly 6 months. It is incredible the time has passed like it has. I have done some incredible things, seen some nice ladies and made a few friends. When my mom left back in June I set the Thanksgiving milestone in my head. I wanted to be established in Sacramento by the time she got back, and just feel like

I think it is time I informed everyone about choir chick. Choir chick is the girl who sits in the soprano section and is drop dead gorgeous. Totally unattainable for even the hardest working beefcakes. Let's just say it is tough to watch the conductor when I could watch her watching the conductor instead! What makes her even hotter is the fact that she sits in the middle of a bunch of 70

Well this weekend was spent preparing for the Thanksgiving week. I bought a turkey and a ton of fixins. I also did a little cleaning (yawn) and other jazz like that. I gotta tell you I am at a total loss for something to say tonight. Sorry, call it writer's block. The pokes lost (in both sports). That blows! So let me think.

1. List five things you'd like to accomplish by the end of the year. First off I would really like to lose 4 or 5 more pounds by the new year. I would like to be really close to out of credit debt (come on state retirement fund!) Clean the heck out of my bedroom. Do an Irish jig. See a ton of movies. 2. List five people you've lost contact with that you'd like to hear from again. Kyle, where

The gig was cool. Of course I missed the email saying that the meeting place had changed (darn you UW for cutting me off!) But once I found everyone it was fun. Really reminded me of highschool...only with really old people. It really was a classy event, and if not for the $60 ticket price, I think I would have liked to stay. We went on stage right after this breakdancing group. They were

Hey kids. Turned down doing the bar scene tonight. I'm afraid I am just not into doing that with just one other guy. Gag. Nothing like listening to some other dude's lame lines. Here's a good one though, "This boats going to fast. We better make the most of it." Nice line from "An Affair to Remember." Now if only I were on a boat with a lady I would be set! I am really nervous for that
