Queen City Stomp 2006 – Day 2

We slept in this morning, but since we finally got to sleep at about 4:30 last night, it still wasn’t anything like an 8-hour night. I’m not complaining; I’m just saying. We had a bagel and some cheese coffee for breakfast. Actually, the coffee did not taste like cheese in spite of the coffee pot … Read more

Queen City Stomp 2006 – Day 1

I picked up Rick at just after 11:00, and we headed to Durham where we picked up Robert, and headed to Charlotte. It was pretty much an uneventful trip out, with a monster traffic jam on the other side of the road around the Salisbury area. It went for miles and miles and miles, and … Read more

A reference list and some trash…

I finished my final paper reference list, which is due for Monday’s class. It feels good to have both that and my blog entry for the class done ahead of schedule. I had big plans during spring break to read ahead and do blog entries for several of the upcoming assignments, but that didn’t happen. … Read more

Dancing queens…

Dancing was decent tonight. Carl taught La Mucara, and I caught on by the end, but it’s still not to the point where it feels “natural” to me yet. I met Rick, who was from Orlando, and who had his eye on this guy named Ed, who was from Miami. Supposedly they were both staying … Read more

Mrs. Henderson Presents… I watch…

I worked from home today. By this evening, I had cabin fever. Click here for cartoon attribution. So, I went to the 7:00 showing of Mrs. Henderson Presents at the Mission Valley Theaters. There were five other people in the theater: two pairs of women, and a single woman. And me. Another “Lifetime Channel” moment: … Read more

Oscar dissonance…

I had big plans today to get way ahead on my course readings, but that did not come to fruition. Carmichael gym is on “Spring Break Hours” this week, so was only open from 1-5 today. From 2:00 – 2:30, I did the elliptical machine on level 10. I worked up a good sweat, and … Read more

Auditing, taxes, laundry, and early to bed…

I handled a flurry of audit-related activity at work today, which included summarizing my recommendations for project candidates for the 2006 Internal Audit Program. As a result of that work, a 30-minute meeting has been set up for Tuesday. Nathan returned my call, and with his information, I was able to complete my taxes. Yay. … Read more

Brokeback deluge, an honorary invitation, a credit closer, taxes, and the trailer…

With the many that we’ve seen, you’d think there were enough Brokeback Mountain parodies. Think again: Daily Sixer: Brokeback Mountain Parodies Personally, I like this Brokeback Mountain in 30 Seconds as Re-enacted by Bunnies the best. It reminds me of the play The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abridged), which is just hysterical. I finished my … Read more
