A PRINCE SHALL LEAD THEM!
A PRINCE SHALL LEAD THEM!
Life Changer?
My boss is insane. In the best possible way. Total alpha person. Fitness freak. Crazy person. Etc. But, generally, pretty awesome and we’ve worked together fantastically for the last two months.
Last week, she discovered Tough Mudder. She then focused on it and wanted to do it and get a team of work people and others to do it too.
Additionally, she knows of my struggles to get right with...
Yay Drafthouse...
I want to be totally excited for the Alamo Drafthouse coming to DC. Totally want to be. I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things. It’s acolytes rave and I’m absolutely gonna go there, but…
It’s not really coming to DC. Hell, it’s barely coming to the DC market. Ashburn, VA is not DC. Ashburn is closer to West Virginia than it is to my place in Arlington. DC to...

You know what the internet needs?
With that uber twee video they posted today, Zooey and Joseph Gordon Levitt need to get together and form a band that cuts nothing but Death Cab diss tracks.
Ben Gibby would get stuck in a personal loop of playing “Transatlanticism” in his bedroom for the rest of his life if that happened, guys.

Somehow, this only makes me love her more.
Conventions!
Got my official travel dates and my hotel confirmation for my job’s big convention in February. I will never stop laughing at the fact that our convention is known as the “IBS”.
Poop joke.
LOLZ
In 7 hours, Luke and I officially embark on our journey as NBA Season Ticket Holders with an exhibition game to be quickly forgotten remembered.
Bad At Internet
I’ve never heard a Lana del Ray song. And I bet I can keep it that way.
RABBLE BCS OUTRAGE RABBLE
I mean, I guess I MAD, but it’s really just because
In spite of their being ranked #8 and being a fellow BCS snubee, the stakes don’t feel that high playing K-State. I’d really have rather have faced Oklahoma (and I think thats what the bowl wanted too) but since VT and UM snagged the at-larges over the Wildcats, despite the rankings, that wasn’t gonna happen. I have tons...
This Desert Life
I’ve listened to this record twice today.
Probably hadn’t listened to it all the way through in half a decade or more.
Thanks “Mr Robinson and His Cadillac Dream” for popping up on shuffle this morning.
Technology!
I’m going to pull the trigger on a Kindle Fire to serve as my “sitting in the chair with a dog in my lap, watching tv, yet still want to read interwebs” device replacing my 6 year old, burns my lap from heat Macbook’s current role. Also I suppose the Fire will provide me a chance to read books and shit on the train in the morning. HAHA WHO READS? (Amazon is also offering...

You know what?
The Florence, SC Red Roof Inn is far nicer than it has any right to be.
Of course it’s 2am and I’m exhausted so this may not be true when I wake up in 6 hours.
A Very Adult Conversation
Earlier this evening I was coming inside from walking my dog, we walked past a dude by the service elevator and Ginger (my pup) briefly nudged over his way and looked up at him. The following occurred:
Guy: “GET THAT DOG AWAY FROM ME”
Me: /stunned look/ “What? She just looked at you, no need to be like that”
Guy: “Just get it away”
Me: “What the...
Bah
All I want to do is drive around in my shiny new car.
It’s not like I’m actually working in my last three days here anyway.
Shufflin songs...
“I’d rather be your fool nowhere than go somewhere an be no one’s”
This remains one of my favorite lines ever and goddammit Mike Cooley is just the best y’all.

Feeling pretty good
Feeling pretty alright.
Don’t wanna jinx it, but feeling pretty prettay good.
Also, Monday night skeeball league at Iron Horse is both the best and worst thing I’ll ever partake in. Pretty certain of that, as well.
