Weekend Recap (Father’s Day Edition)

Two weeks after getting laid off I finally had a chance to get out of town and relax for a bit, such opportunity happening to coincide with both Father’s Day and the celebration of my cousin’s wife’s birthday, so on Friday bailed on NYC to DC for the weekend.  Given that severance will, in fact, [...]

New York Anniversary

As of this coming Friday I’ll have been living in NYC for four years, and while  May is one of my favorite times to be in the city, I’m knocking off this year and heading to L.A. for a long weekend to see some friends, hit a pool party or two, and enjoy my first [...]

Things I did this weekend that I had not done before (or in recent memory).

1.  Take a “nap” at 8:30pm on Friday with intent of getting up at 9:30pm to go out. “Wake” from fitful nap at 9:14pm or so and reset alarm for 10:30pm since nap had yet to be satisfying. Sleep until after midnight. Decide to stay in. On a Friday. 2. Wake up around 6:00am on [...]

It would appear it’s been quite some time…

… since I wrote much here. So it’s been a fairly busy six weeks, though I’ve been in a bit of a rut given my current employment situation (e.g., still employed but feeling rather stuck, given the economy as of late). I guess working beats looking for work right now, as any one of my [...]

It’s that time of year, apparently, and the holiday party season is in full effect. Hrm.

So I made it down to DC for Thanksgiving to see both family and friends (family for food, friends for debauchery), and upon my return was mildly thrown off my game when I realized that it’s already December.  I suppose that, since the advent of the Gregorian calendar over 400 years ago, one could have [...]

Happy Halloween, All!

So while I’ve yet to sort out a costume — I’m contemplating going as Little Bo Peep or Little Red Riding Hood, though have to consider the very real possibility that it would kill any chance I’d otherwise have with the ladies — I’m definitely going out tonight.  I’ll be at some combination of two [...]

Weekend Roundup (Labor Day Edition)

[Thought I'd gotten around to posting this...] So after a much anticipated Thursday and Friday off — I’ve taken exactly three weekdays off since New Year’s — I ended up getting yarded in to work on both days, on the latter for about nine hours, which kinda sucked since after I escaped on Thursday I [...]

Labor Day Weekend

So I’m in a bit of a quandary. Well, I suppose it’s a good problem to have. The short version is that I found out that one of the guys I work for is trying to take off work next Tuesday through Friday, meaning that I’ll have painfully little to do around the office and [...]
