  • I know, I’m disappointing.

    Posted on April 10, 2009 by Dan in update.

    I’m also sick. Body aches, headache, fever, night sweats (which, ew) the whole thing. So, have not been updating. But, I have been watching all the episodes I’ve missed from Dancing with the Stars because I’m addicted to it. So, I promise to blog about our trip home, with pictures and everything, just after I […]

    Posted on April 9, 2009 by Dan in travel.

    Icicles of doom. So these are some photos from when we went up to Tahoe with some friends over Valentines Day. It snowed. A LOT. I look ridiculous. It was SO COLD. mmmm sleet. Up the lift. Pretty, yet freezing. Ski run. Notice the abundance of fresh snow. **Coming tomorrow, posts about our crazy whirlwind […]

    Posted on April 9, 2009 by Dan in stupid people, we're crazy liberals.

    Well, in political news, here are the highs and lows: Highs: Vermont IOWA. I mean really, Iowa can get their ish together and where the hell are we California? Geez. Lows: This article… A North Texas legislator during House testimony on voter identification legislation said Asian-descent voters should adopt namesthat are “easier for Americans to […]

    Posted on March 16, 2009 by Dan in Cal, friends, stupid people, travel, work.

    So, it’s been awhile, and recently the blog has kind of seemed broken on occasion? As in, you come to the URL and there is nothing there? This has happened to me a few times, not sure if that’s why no one has been leaving us any comment love, but I will push on! Writing […]

  • Las Vegas, part deux

    Posted on March 1, 2009 by Dan in travel.

    So, we went to Vegas earlier this month. I, for one, am not a HUGE fan of Vegas. I think it has it’s benefits – there are some sights to be seen there that can’t be found anywhere else. There is amazing food, and amazing shows and people acting like complete fools, who have 120% […]

    Posted on February 20, 2009 by Dan in food, friends, random.

    So, this eating vegetarian thing is going fine, although the first two nights totally reduced us to eating like college students. One night, pasta and sauce from a jar. The next night, pancakes and eggs for dinner! Tonight, I think we finally got our act together and made sweet potato and black bean burritos. Feeling […]

  • Take Five Tuesday

    Posted on February 17, 2009 by Dan in lists, random.

    This week I’m trying to go vegetarian for a week, starting today. We shall see how it goes. So far, so good (considering I skipped breakfast so have only had two meals). There are a bunch of reasons why – none of which are super important to me, I’m just kind of trying it out. […]
