Well, I promised more frequent updates, so here I am in front of the computer on a Sunday afternoon, listening to catchy pop-punk tunes and waiting for the washing machine to finish so that I can take a shower.

The diet and workout regimen continues to go as planned, although I did cheat a little bit on Thursday, having a few drinks over lunch with...

Wow. Almost 2 full months without an update. It's been a long time since I've allowed such a gap between entries. Guess there's a lot to talk about.

First things first, I've moved out of Asian Dave's place and into an apartment of my own. I love that dude like a brother, but anyone that knows me knows that I've always preferred to live on...

The remainder of my vacation was pretty much the same as the beginning. Spent some time in the gym, got caught up on some movies, hung out with some folks, and did some gaming. It felt nice to be away from the stress and from the day-to-day running of the store, but by the end of the weekend I was ready to go back. There's...

Thus far, my vacation has been rather uneventful, which is exactly what I was hoping for.

Monday I slept late, watched both "Narnia" movies, and went to the gym. Two miles on the treadmill, then lifting for about 45 minutes. After stopping for a haircut, then getting home and grabbing a shower, I retired to the couch and did my weekly TV recap (Californication,...

I suppose it wouldn't be Thanksgiving without my annual list of things that I'm thankful for.


Dad and Jan. I don't know that I've ever seen two people quite so perfect for each other. My old man may have had some struggles in the love department for a good portion of his life, but they've finally paid off. Seeing them together never fails to make...

Tore through the first of the "Dexter" novels in about two days, and am about halfway through the second. I dig that they're written in first-person, because I can totally hear Michael C. Hall's voice narrating in my head as I read. They're much darker in tone than the series, and some of the characters are different. Not to mention events happening COMPLETELY differently than...

I'm not really in my usual writing mood, but I'm feeling restless, so maybe this will help.

Remember the douchebag that broke the window at my store? Fucking 10-year-old kid. He wasn't trying to break in or anything, he was just being a little shit. Hollywood had basically booted him out because he was wandering around for like an hour and not buying anything, so...

I've been sickly for the past couple of days. Woke up yesterday with a sore throat and my sinuses horribly congested, and despite consuming large quantities of Vitamin C (thank you, Jamba Juice) during the day, and hot tea spiked with whiskey all last night, I wasn't much better today. I spent the vast majority of today sleeping, waking up sporadically to play videogames or...

I just watched Barack Obama's victory speech, and I'm not the least bit ashamed to say that I was moved to tears. Granted, the whiskey I've been consuming for most of the evening probably helped contribute to my emotional state, but this is a cause for celebration.

In two months, we will inaugurate a president that will work tirelessly to bring about the change that...

There's a lot to be said for wandering a post-apocalyptic nuclear wasteland, scavenging for food, medicating radiation sickness, and battling giant mutant ants that breathe fire. Yes, "Fallout 3" has arrived, and it threatens to consume me. The sheer amount of choices you find yourself faced with is staggering, and the massive, seamless gameworld that Bethesda has created is nothing short of overwhelming. I don't...

Got to see some folks from the SGAZ group last night. There was a small gathering at Applebee's in Tempe, and I popped in to have a couple of drinks and chat with everyone for a bit. There's another sushi event tonight, albeit on a smaller scale than last time. I think I'll probably attend that one, too. It's hard to pass up sushi.

This...
