We forgot to renew his domain. Ooops! It’s been renewed since so it should be back up soon if it is…… Continue reading Happy Big Three-Oh!

Danger due to [fill in the blank]. Use your imagination. What a linklogger to do when del.icio.us is down? Get panic, of course. But I’ve got over it. Finally. Did a bit of Christmas shopping this past weekend. I wouldn’t advise you to shop for CDs and DVDs at Best Buy. Their pricing is outrageous.…… Continue reading Not So del.icio.us

We had to put our Betta fish Finnegan to sleep yesterday. It was not an easy decision, but he seemed to be in so much pain that we just had to do it. It was more than a little upsetting to say the least. The picture above was taken a few days ago when he…… Continue reading Goodbye, Finnegan!

Contrary to what I said in yesterday’s post, I didn’t stay in. The weather wasn’t fantastic but what the hell. My mind was set. I was going. When I walked to the bus stop, I couldn’t see the sidewalk because it was covered thickly with snow. That was one of the few times I was…… Continue reading Screw the Weather

It’ll show up soon after this entry. Don’t you worry. It’s just that it took me so…… Continue reading Slow Blogging Day

T: Now that we’re done with season two of Scrubs, we can start watching season two of Arrested Development. F: We have season two of Arrested Development? T: Yup. F: You mean in your computer? T: No, on DVD. F: We have the DVD? T: Yah. We picked it up a couple of months ago.…… Continue reading Always Broke

Good news. Thanks to Google Adsense, I actually have money to buy Troy his birthday presents and Christmas gifts this year. Not really a lot of money, but money nonetheless. Last year, I managed to scrape enough money to buy him a small birthday present but had to use his money to buy him his…… Continue reading Good News vs. Bad News

I watched Le Battement d’ailes du papillon or Happenstance (UK title) or The Beating of the Butterfly’s Wings (International title) last weekend on DVD with Troy and his parents. I really liked it. The movie is starring Audrey Tautou of Amélie fame. In fact, it was her movie right before Amélie. In my opinion, the…… Continue reading Happenstance
