Ok, so Valentine's update time.

The day was abnormally smooth - no problems at work, everyone in a good mood etc. A close friend and I went to dinner at TGI Fridays in Kirkland. I haven't been there in a LONG time - kinda missed it! Anyway, we parked on separate sides of the restaurant so as I was walking back to my car, another...

I've now come to the conclusion that the government is currently testing their "mind control waves" through the medium of the Great American TV Show. Last night, I watched 5 (yes, count 'em: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!) episodes of The O.C. (Finally caught up) and I HAD to watch them back-to-back. No matter what I tried, I could NOT pull myself away! Now that...

So I've been catching up on The O.C. episodes that my fabulous Tivo has recorded for me over the past 6-7 weeks or so. I'm SO lame I can't believe it! But hey, I'm entertained and for some strange reason, I really relate to the show.

Anyway, I really haven't been up to a lot, other than working too much. Saturday, I had this wild...

Trivia last night was great! I met some really cool people and Sam came up with some excellent questions to challenge our puny brains!

I've been working so hard these past couple of weeks that I haven't had any time for myself. I haven't even been able write in my journal! Wednesday, I'd had enough and called in at work and took a "mental day"....

ok, so I totally screwed up the name of that beer last night.. It's called "Naughty Scot". Anyway, after trying it, I found that it really wasn't at all for me. Then again, I'm not much of a "beer man" in general.

The owners of the company are coming back on Monday and I'm getting less and less excited about going to work. They always...

I'm having a hell of a time at my job right now.. <sigh> I need to get out more, spend time with friends, make new friends etc etc..

They're debuting a new beer at Rock Bottom in Bellevue tonight. A couple of friends and I are going to be there for the event. I'm a little concerned about a beer called "Scotch Ale" but I'm...

I have had so many "ups and downs" these past two weeks. The hard drive in my Thinkpad failed - so I had to wait for a new one to arrive and then rebuild my entire life on the machine. I never realized how much I use my laptop! So, the good news for this situation is that I have a new appreciation for my...

Wow, I've been without broadband for almost a month now.. Just when I thought I was going to finally lose it, the heavens parted and Comcast came through. As of tomorrow, I'll be back online with a full-on 3 megabit, hand-of-god-fast, broadband connection. I honestly can't begin to explain how bad that was to not have internet access at home.. <sigh> Ok, I'm not a...

Well, it's been a few weeks since I last wrote. I have been busy and shit has hit the fan a few times. Where to start? I was going to the bank after work on the 21st of September, sitting at a stop light when WHAM! I got rear-ended at about 35 mph by a woman driving a GX series Lexus Suv. I drive a...
