  • Oh Give Me a Home

    The house hunt has been a little slower than expected. Jennie and I got shut out of two different deals in the first two weeks of looking, and it’s been tough finding a place to meet our standards since then. I’m happy to say that we’ve finally chosen something, though – we’ll be signing the…

  • Getting Back On My Feet

    Thought it was about time I gave an update on various things in my personal life, since I’ve recently ranted on the politics of free speech, the justifiability of war with Iraq, the morality of free software, and the abomination that is the Designated Hitter rule, but I haven’t talked about what’s going on with…

  • Gonna Be a Long Few Weeks

    I’m at the end of my second day of work at Raytheon. I’m sitting in the “Training Pod” waiting for my security clearance to come through, a process that can take weeks (or months, in some cases). Of course, when it finally does come through, I won’t be able to tell you what I’m working…

  • The Drought is Finally Over

    Well, for me, anyway, if not for Colorado. I HAVE A JOB!

  • A New Record

    I think I may have set a new personal record for diary deliquency. This makes almost 5 months since I last made an entry. That may not be the worst I’ve ever done, but it’s right up there. I’m too lazy to figure it out.

  • Here’s a New One…

    To add to the list of strange places where it occurs to me to write a diary entry, I’m at 30,000 feet on my way home from Cleveland where I was on vacation with Jennie and her family.

  • Strike Three! You’re Outta There!

    I’m picking Jennie up from work this evening at Build-A-Bear, but I have to wait until she’s finished closing the store. Since I have my iBook with me, I thought I’d write an entry. Isn’t that thoughtful of me? In my boredom last week, I decided to look around and see what kind of anti-Bud…

  • Why Doesn’t He Write?

    I was contemplating why I almost never write in my diary anymore, and I think it’s pretty simple – I never had a soulmate before with whom I could share all my anxieties, hopes, frustrations, desires, and dreams with. Now that I have Jennie, and as we’ve grown even closer in the last year, I’ve…

  • Why Sleep When You Can Write?

    Really, really tired, and can’t sleep. I’ve been suffering from insomnia for about 5 or 6 weeks now. I was exhausted and ready to sleep at about midnight, but I haven’t been able to make myself drop off. I decided to get up and have a glass or two of milk and try to make…

  • Finally, He Writes!

    It wasn’t until a couple of different e-mails drew my attention to it that I realized my diary was so badly out of date. I guess I’ve just been paying attention to other modifications/additions/improvements to the site, such as the navigation links (only visible if you’re using Mozilla 0.9.5+ or a couple other browsers), the…
