Raisin Bran
Thursday, September 4, 2008
I’ve just tried Raisin Bran for the first time this morning.
And it’s the single most terrible-tasting cereal I’ve ever had the displeasure to experience.
Correction: Now that the bran flakes have soaked in the milk a bit more, I can’t say it’s completely terrible. The milk washes out most of the flavor of the bran, [...]
More Awesome than you can stick a shake at…
Thursday, August 14, 2008
Yay robots!
For those of us who don’t read Chip’s blog, I’ve moved in with him into a house in Champaign. We’ve dubbed it AwesomeBase Alpha (his family’s place out in Gifford is known as AwesomeBase Beta, apparently). We’ve gotten roughly $2,000-$3,000 in more-or-less free stuff to furnish the place with, and it’s just [...]
Roger Allam, Badass
Friday, June 27, 2008
Roger Allam is the all-American British badass. If you’re looking for an imposing, “love to hate” bastard for any given production, look no farther.
In the original production of Les Miserables, he played Inspector Javert. In a 2000 London musical Speer he played Hitler.
However, most of us ‘Merkins most likely know him for roles [...]
Dear Strawberry Fields…
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
…when I want tea, I want tea, damnit. I don’t need some herbal remedy for ailments including but not limited to: PMS, Prostate Health, Joint Health, Sexual Health (!), Random Pain, Dumbness, Smartness, Sleepyness, Awakenness, or anything else.
I just want some black tea that has something along the lines of a citrus fruit in [...]
New car!
Wednesday, April 23, 2008
Last week, my poor Tempo decided that it no longer wished to be for this world. As this leaves me carless, I went and got myself a new car.
What type of car, you ask?
A 2001 Audi A6 Quattro. And I love it.
It’s smooth, comfortable, and a great highway cruiser. That last part [...]
Time, how it flies!
Thursday, December 27, 2007
Wow, my last entry was in October. Poor November, no love at all, no love at all!
I’ve gotten myself a shiny new job with the University, doing research programming work for the big $500 million BP Biofuels research project. Hopefully I can see somewhere around half of that in my paycheck. Yeah, [...]
Faith
Wednesday, October 10, 2007
Two particularly good quotes on the nature of faith, from the early to mid ’90’s sci-fi show Babylon 5:
Faith sustains us in the hour reason tells us we cannot continue, that our lives are without meaning
That’s all that faith requires; that we surrender ourselves to the possibility of hope
Have a wonderfully chilly day!
Working out
Saturday, October 6, 2007
So, Krystal and I are going to go for Halloween as Bond & Bond Girl. As such, I’ve decided I need to trim up a bit for the part, so today I started going to the gym to do that.
I discovered that my legs still are in incredible shape, and after 40 minutes on [...]
Bottlecaps!
Thursday, July 26, 2007
The last three 20 oz bottles of LiveWire I’ve obtained have had the “Free 20oz bottle with purchase of Pepsi or Dew” caps, thus granting me three free bottles now. This rocks!
