I worked from home today. I took a late lunch, during which I met with Myra and Mark for a “Center for Excellence in Curricular Engagement Web Site Brainstorming Session.” We brainstormed about the “rhetorical purposes” of the web site and the general organization of it. Then, we prioritized the items in terms of what we … Read more
I actually went into the office today, where I had a decent day. I had lunch with Kevin (zy1125), who is now sporting facial hair, which made me think “Woof!” when I saw him. We ate at Rudino’s at RTP, consistently the place for hot young professionals in the Triangle. Today was no exception. It … Read more
Sometimes real life gets in the way… Oh, You Were Planning a Non-Virtual Relationship? Guy #1: That girl at the party, Kyra—she was hot. Guy #2: I thought so, too, but then I saw her MySpace photos, and she didn’t look that good. I’ll send you a link to them. Guy #1: Uh… Dude, I … Read more
I got up at 10:00 today, and after checking in on AIM with Robert, I fixed myself a delicious onion and extra sharp cheddar cheese omelet. I have finally gotten to the point where I can make an omelet that looks as good as it tastes. The secret is patience; no wonder it’s taken me … Read more
A little math humor today… http://www.overheardinnewyork.com/archives/008929.html Jerk in back row: Paul McCartney should have stopped after the Beatles. I mean, what the fuck else good did he do after that? Nothing. Not a goddamn thing. He couldn’t go from point A to point B. What’s the shortest distance from A to B, again? Like, the … Read more

You see, Michael Anthony Castro, the three-sport star athlete and … Read more
At 8:48, I tumbled outta bed, stumbled to the kitchen, poured myself a cup of ambition, and generally yawned and stretched and just tried to come to life. How original. I worked from home today, and had an interesting instant message chat with Mary Mahoney in Austin; I like her. Later in the day, I … Read more
Robert brought me coffee in bed, and then he made me breakfast. Love that man. So sweet. I met E-Ching and David at just after 12:30, and we made the two-mile walk from their house to K&W at Cameron Village. We entered the Disneyworld-like line that consisted, undoubtedly, of churchgoers coming, but with all the … Read more
I worked from home today, spending the entire day editing Shruti’s document. I’m coming down the home stretch on it now. Yay! At about 7:30, I went over to Carmichael, where I had to park in the Coliseum Deck—obviously some kind of event going on in Reynolds with the amount of cars parked in the … Read more
I forgot to mention a couple of things that I wanted to capture from yesterday, but that entry was long enough anyway. I know, “Aren’t they all?” But you digress… The first thing was with regards to being an editor for a living and how it makes me crazy some times. I just can’t stop … Read more
