Slooooowwww Day I am getting ready to get out of here for the day, and I have just had an incredibly slow day.  After my initial bout of ass-dragging, I was able to get working on a couple of small issues that popped up at work.  I was going to post what I worked on today, but since it is incredibly boring and much too geeky I decided against it.  I am going to hit the gym today.  My ankle is still bothering me, so let's see what happens today.  The only other things I need to do are to do a tiny bit of grocery shopping and finish some other household things.  That's the price I pay for my weekend trip to NYC.  Next weekend, I am doing absolutely nothing except staying in Baltimore.  3:53:40 PM    comment []  trackback []

Getting My Second Wind Today has been one of those days where I just have been completely unable to get started. I was dragging this morning getting out of bed, dragging on my way to the office, and dragging this morning while trying to get some stuff done. Now, I finally have my second wind, and I am starting to work on some stuff at work. No better time to blog than now. Weekend was not too bad, but I think that my lack of sleep during it has contributed to my overall dragginess today. I was up early on both Saturday and Sunday--to leave for and come home from New York City. Complicating matters for yesterday, of course, was the drinking until 3:30 in the morning and the consumption of a burrito shortly thereafter. Damn that burrito!  Yesterday, I went to a Super Bowl party at a friends house in the 'hood. It was a good time, with the usual Super Bowl accoutrements: lots of food, lots of beer, and loud fans. In this case, almost everyone was from Massachusetts. Thus, the house was pretty partial to the Pats. Nice to see the Pats win, but I was not able to see my desired Theismann-like injury to Terrell Owens. Admittedly, he looked pretty good for a guy with pins and screws in his ankle. That still does not change the fact that I hate him. And the one thing that used to be good about the Super Bowl now sucks. The ads are just not terribly good--although the Careerbuilder monkeys and the ads with MC Hammer were pretty damn funny. If I saw that damn Ford Mustang ad again, I was going to fling myself at the big screen. These ads makes me pine for the heady dot-com era: the Monster.com ads and the "Herding Cats" ad (which was for a consultant, if memory serves) were so much better than most of the ads from yesterday. 12:18:35 PM    comment []  trackback []
