About

It's a blog where I can post about whatever the hell I want. This usually consists of Beer, Movie, and Video Game reviews with a hint of Politics and a splash of Alton Brown.

Recent

I just got back from a business trip to New Hampshire where I was being trained on a product that I most likely will not be touching for the next 6 months. The best part: I am not going to pay a dime for the whole excursion.

Archives

Gone Baby Gone

I haven't posted for a while.

Lots of things to cover.

- My car was hit by a new driver a couple weeks ago. She only hit my side view mirror and was very apologetic about it. I got it fixed and have been too busy to contact the family to get reimbursed for the damages. I will get to it eventually.

- The current project that I am working on just blew up on Monday. The project team lead is quitting CA, and since there is a hiring freeze, he can't be replaced. This means that I am taking up the slack for him; a guy who has been a Software Engineer for 20 years. I have only been doing this for 7 months... fuckberries.

- I am attempting to reboot my workout regimen (again) and it is going well. I do 5 sets of 30 push ups and do jack-knife crunches until failure in between those sets. After I hit 100 push ups a couple months ago, I didn't have a concrete goal anymore and I just got lazy.

- House is great, The Office is better. Holly is quickly becoming my favorite character.

- I made my own salad for the first time tonight in over a month. I had forgotten how delicious it is when you make your own vinaigrette. Red Wine Vinegar + Dijon Mustard + EVOO + Salt & Pepper = EPIC WIN.

- The title of this post goes out to the movie I just finished watching: Gone Baby Gone. This is one movie is worth the price of admission.

- Kongregate is awesome. They just need to give me my fucking badges, dammit.

- Buckethead is unreal in a live performance. That One Guy giving the best opening act ever just made it just that much better.

- Tyler's party was bananas for so many reasons. Epic night.

- Little Big Planet being recalled by Sony because of complaints by Muslims is such bullshit. Living in the age of Terrorism has caused us to be hyper-sensitive to Muslims and their practices. You don't see games being recalled because they include bible passages. You don't see games recalled because they have stereotyped Jews as characters. Un-fucking-believable.

- Weekly Frisco Grille outings with Tryke and the Cack has been fun. It is going to take a while for me to get 100 beers in my book though. Not that I will be complaining along the way.

That is all for now, I hope I don't have to make another one of these posts anytime soon, they take too long.

    Oh, so many things to say! I'll follow your format:

    - I didn't know you worked for Computer Associates (assuming that's was CA stands for). How did I not know this?

    - You still have to do 100 push ups for me, so you better be able to.

    - House > Office on SO many levels. Mostly because it doesn't suck. :P That, and no one on The Office is attractive, now that I think about it. Whereas everyone on House is attractive, even most of the patients when they're not dying of horrible, undiagnosed diseases.

    - File some damn missing achievement reports, the link is there on every page, and you can submit screenshots, etc. It's super easy. Do you have cookies on?

    - Why do you not link the only bit of news that I didn't know about? I mean, I know I'm a Google Queen (although it's never sounded quite right saying it like that) but I shouldn't have to search for something I read on a blog. *stamps FAIL*

    - You won't have to make a post like this if you updated at least once a week. C'mon! :P top

    The format seems to work so...

    - Computer Associates changed their name to CA a while ago, but everyone still calls us Computer Associates.

    - It's funny, it is actually harder for me to my first set of 30 than it is to do my last. Some kind of muscle laziness thing.

    - I am tired of the sickness mystery stuff personally. I watch House because he fucks with people. The problem is that is only half the show. The Office is better in my mind because it is like 200% of why I like House. QED.

    - Once I actually clicked the missing achievement report link, it was revealed that the chat has to connect for them to work. At work (where I actually play this stuff) the firewall/blacklist lets me get the games, but not the chat. So no achievements. :-(

    - Here's your link... I think anyway.

    - I hate making posts for the sake of making posts. I was inspired to make the post because of Gone Baby Gone. Then I realized I haven't posted in a while, so I figured I would do a large scope update.

    Since the bullet form is popular

    ~You'll be fine at work mkay. I love you very much and I know you can kick this projects ass

    ~I will start playing said computer game. I got tired of the connect the circle stuff.

    ~Speaking of working out, I think during the winter I will be able to come over and workout in your gym at your apartment complex. But for now, lifting and bagging will have to do.

    ~I must be taken to Frisco's asap.

    ~i love you top
