I wandered about the house sort of aimlessly this evening – Karen’s out at a holiday party. It wasn’t until recently that I actually looked outside though – and saw that it was a “dark and foggy night”. It immediately put my in mind of some lovecraftian horror story. Heh – yeah, perfect when you’reContinue reading “a dark and foggy night…”

Its monday – just barely. Hi Monday! Time for bed.

Today we saw Pride and Prejudice – the latest remake with Keira Knightley. They did a good job with it, but I’ve got to admit that I’ve was very spoiled by the BBC’s version of it. While I liked the acting a great deal, there was just so much more development of the characters inContinue reading “Movie weekend – Pride and Prejudice”

It was a very long day today, and I’m completely bushed. You know, one of those days that just leaves you completely drained… Even still, I wanted to write briefly that Karen and I took in Narnia tonight, and we both thought it was really well done. I’d been a little hesitant after the papersContinue reading “Narnia”

My favorite market ever has lost it’s lease. I’m so incredibly bummed about this. Apparently the owners of the land where Metropolitan Market has stood for 40 years have signed over the space to QFC and a big ole’ development, slated to be in place by the end of 2008. Metro Market’s lease ends DecemberContinue reading “Metropolitan Market, Queen Anne”

Last night I went to dinner at Toyoda Sushi with a friend, the first time I’d been there. We sat at the Sushi bar, and Sen (I’m probably mispelling his name) started serving us up a wonderful meal. I couldn’t even tell you what all of it was (I don’t track that fast), but oneContinue reading “Toyoda sushi”

Karen loves doing them, and I view them as sort of a necessary chore. Something you just “gotta do” over the holidays. Even still, the hard truth is you’ve got a much better chance getting a card from us if your last name is near the beginning of the alphabet. I get annoyed after soContinue reading “Christmas Cards”

Since I was determined to spend the day not doing much of use, I headed over to the UVillage Apple Store to see all the toys. Although they’ve been out for a bit, I hadn’t actually played with an iPod Nano previously. Man, those things are small. That’s quite a bit of compute packed inContinue reading “Toys”

I was piddling around today, it being a sunday and all, and I started digging into a project I put on the “backburner” just a little bit ago. Only I realized that “just a little bit ago” was around 20 months back – March of 2004. Hmmmm… so maybe more than just a little bitContinue reading “I let a project slip by…”

There’s one less dungeness crab in the world today, the fault of Nathan and I – but boy was that tasty! We actually made a pretty incredible day of it – wandering here and there, chatting and munching, talking up a storm from one topic to another. We ended the by seeing AeonFlux – fromContinue reading “1 less dungeness crab”
