Sunday afternoon is always a melancholy affair. It’s sad when a fest has to end. But I’m getting ahead of myself. The day started out slow. As a matter of fact, I was the second person in the room so I decided to clean up empty bottles off the floor and generally clean up the [...]

Saturday was a great day to be a juggler. The gym was busy, but not so packed that you couldn’t carve out a spot. Perhaps the result of the economy, but it that had a plus side too; airfare was cheap. Just ask Vova who suprised the crowd by coming to hang out. Cool.

Seriously, Netflix. Really?
I think my wife has been going a little heavy with the chick-flicks in the queue. Here’s a trivia question, how many times as Family Guy parodied a scene from The Sound of Music? Off the top of my head I can think of 3. (Stewie in the hills of Austria, Nuns with [...]

Word to the wise, don’t mod your DS. The pictures look cool, but trust me, the product is garbage. I just finished putting together a chrome mod for my Nintendo DS lite, because I was tired of looking at the white one, and it was getting really dirty in the seams, etc. I bought a [...]
