It feels like Tuesday night, but it’s actually Thursday. I love short weeks! Tomorrow’s Friday and then after a day spent getting the car ready, we’re off to Anaheim for a few days. I’m looking forward to it. I also love that I only have to work one day next week. Of course, this means …

First Day Back
And holy shit, did I have a pile of work to do. You know when you leave work for extended periods of time, the work doesn’t get done on it’s own… no matter how hard you wish it would. I had a bunch of open cases I had to close or update, and then on …

‘Twas the Night Before Christmas…
This is the third Christmas that Julia have spent together since we started dating, but the second since we married in April, 2006. As I sit here in the overnight hours of Christmas Eve, having enjoyed Julia’s orange chicken dinner that she made specifically for the occasion, I’ve come to realize that I’m really very …

The Todd Has Landed
I picked up Todd today, he took the train in from Sacramento and I had to meet him at the station a little before noon. He liked the Excelsior model I put together for him and then he passed out his gifts to us. I got a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.com, and Julia got …

Gingerbread Cookies
Every once in a while, Julia goads me into making gingerbread cookies. Gingerbread is the first kind of cookie I ever made in my life, because my dad loves gingerbread and so I learned how to make it so I could bake it at will. I came up with a great recipe in middle school …

The Weekend Begins…
The holiday weekend has begun and already I’m feeling the shell shock of the season. One of the biggest problems is the last-minute frenzy of the season, and the fact that live across from a damned mall made it near impossible to actually get out of my apartment building today. I pulled out of my …

Excelsior is Completed
I forgot to post the pictures, but Excelsior was completed! I want to share some of the photos with you, and then point you to the gallery where all the finals are stored. I usually do model building as a means to relax, but under these circumstances of spending most of my nights over at …

Holiday Party
Today was my company’s holiday party and it was pretty awesome. Though it was just in the open space near the kitchen, they had it all decked out with casino games. Craps, poker, blackjack, roulette… ping pong… and there was supposed to be a darts tourney, but they never got their act together… so I …

Rudolph
Today’s Holidailies prompt is: “Tell us about your favorite holiday concert experience.” I was very much neck-deep into the music performance program at my high school. As a freshman, I joined Concert Choir, and for Christmas, we would break up into duets, trios, quartets, and quintets… walking around downtown Los Gatos and caroling people in …

Balance
I got into a bit of a snit today at work. It wasn’t huge or anything, but I felt frustrated with my boss during the course of the day. I nearly bit his head off, which probably isn’t a good thing when you’re barely two months into starting a new job, but it was one …
