In Lieu of Softball

Those of you who follow my Twitter account may have noticed that I’ve been trying to workout in the offseason.  During the spring and summer months, I absolutely love playing softball.  The weekly games of swinging a bat and playing the field really sheds the pounds as I try to be the fastest guy in …

Black Lagoon

I’m going to use today’s post to talk a little bit about anime.  And plus, it gives me the chance to use more graphics, which I think is kind of lacking in a lot of my blog posts.  So, enjoy the images, because Google Image Search rules all. Way back in the mid-nineties, during my …

Dilation and Numbness

Keitaro from Love Hina

Last night I went to go see my eye doctor for the last time before my vision plan is switched over to a crappy one.  My work is discontinuing my awesome eye coverage as of January 1st for reasons passing understanding (not really, they’re trying to save money), so I decided that December would be …

It’s Bigger on the Inside

Yesterday’s prompt was about Guilty Pleasures, and I missed that one, so I’m going to take care of that with tonight’s post. When I think of what I consider to be a guilty pleasure is something that I like but I’m embarrassed to admit.  The problem with that is that I’m unabashed at proclaiming my …

Going to Bed Early

Today’s Holidailies Prompt is: “Childhood holiday traditions that you’re happy not to follow as an adult.” I think one tradition I’m happy to not follow is having to go to bed early on Christmas Eve.  Traditionally, this was the time that my parents would use to wrap presents or bring them out of hiding places.  …

Fighting to Stay Awake

Today was a pretty busy day at work, and I started feeling a little tired at around 3pm.  I didn’t get a whole lot of sleep last night, for some reason.  I’m not sure if my fatigue was due to not enough sleep, too much work, one meal so far that day, or perhaps a …

Anaheim New Year’s, Day Two

First, I want to say goodbye to 2007. I don’t do New Year’s resolutions. I do those on my birthday, because that’s really when my New Year begins. This year, I didn’t make any, because I accomplished pretty much everything I wanted to do before I turned thirty-one. For 2008, though, I would love to …

Anaheim New Year’s, Day One

We made it down here in less time than I thought. We took 101 all the way down, because I realized that we do take 5 and the reason behind that notion is that it’s usually for Anime Expo… and we always go down the same day as pre-registration. Well, you have to leave early …

Atlantis

Y’know, there’s something to be said of watching so much of a particular series that it starts to become second-nature.  It happened with Star Trek, it happened with The West Wing, it happened with Babylon 5, it happened with Stargate SG-1.  And now, I just can’t get enough of Stargate Atlantis.  I’m sure you guys …

Free

For the second day in a row, I got to leave a little early from work.  This is good for me, because when it happens, I’m usually carpooling with the guy who’s on call.  And since he’s on call, staying until 7pm as usual doesn’t make much sense since he’s the one who’s catching all …
