Home Improvements

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

Our home office is undergoing some major changes in the next few weeks. We’re ripping out the carpet and putting wood flooring in (or wood laminate…) and we just bought the entire Christopher Lowell Town office collection from Office Depot. It’s a dark alder color so it’s really dark brown with nickel accents. And I’m [...]

Microsoft redesigns Apple iPod packaging

Saturday, March 25th, 2006

In the spirit of recent video links, feast your eyes upon this hillarious (but very accurate) video representation of “What if Microsoft redesigned Apple iPod’s packaging” – courtesy of JC and the OC peeps.
And by the way, I’m not doing so hot anymore on the NCAA tourney. Go figure – I can’t have good luck [...]

I’m sure you’ve seen some of these on television, but here they are all together if you haven’t.
Mike and his Sucking ride (my personal favorite)
Jason and his Lame ride
Trey and his Flying ride
Also of note is this “banned” VW Polo commercial

Rave and disappointment in movies

Wednesday, March 22nd, 2006

Here’s the rave: Crash. A little disturbing in parts but in the end I wanted to watch it again.
Now, the disappointment: Failure to Launch. Very dumb and cheesy – but there were a few funny parts.
So, what else have I done lately? Laundry and dishes -story of my life.

Classic quote of the day

Sunday, March 19th, 2006

While watching a previously-recorded Boston Legal…
“Now, what city is this in again?”
-by yours truly
(This is right up there with ClosetNBAplaya for the NCAA tourney and emailing a co-worker to ask what place I was in on the NBA bracket)

Yes, I’m the ClosetNBAplaya

Just thought I’d capture the moment – I am No.1 today! I’m sure it will change quickly but for today, I WIN!
Happy St. Pats day everyone! Peter and I met on St. Pats day 7 years ago today downtown at a party in Bricktown.

Here are my observations from tonight’s American Idol:
Ace – Loved the performance – he’s got sex appeal.
Kellie – Tarantulas? I love ya but get a subscription to InStyle or something. And read up on a minx from last time.
Elliot – He kind of reminds me of Adam Sandler but with singing ability.
Mandisa – Wow – [...]

Don’t come digging through my trash

Tuesday, March 14th, 2006

I can’t believe this story and then read the story he links too- incredible how easy it is for people to steal identities these days. If you don’t own a shredder, buy one NOW!

Many have wondered

Monday, March 13th, 2006

Many people have wondered what kind of guy Peter was when I brought him home to my parents to meet them for the first time…someone who my parents weren’t expecting – ripped jeans, long hair in a ponytail, independent and DATING THEIR DAUGHTER! Only to find out we would be married a year later. [...]

Death Cab for Cutie

Friday, March 10th, 2006

This is my favorite band right now. I’m in love with their music – it’s beautiful. If you haven’t heard them, go to their site and listen to them. Among my other favorite music artists at the moment are Yellowcard, James Blunt (who performed live on Oprah the other day and has an awesome site [...]
