So, lets just go for a blah generic monthly update for the 3 readers I still have. The new job is going very well. You would think 5 o'clock meetings every Friday would suck, but when beer is provided, they seem a lot better.Well, let's get to the important stuff, sports. Notre Dame. Yeah, well, we pretty much suck this year. I'm glad we're finally moving to Sharpley. Granted the ceiling is

Yeah, sorry about that. Let's do this chonologically.This pretty much sums up my feelings on leaving ESPN.To top things off, on my last day I worked until 8 pm. I meant to blog when I had a week off between jobs, but I took my decompressiosn very seriously, and did an amazing amount of nothing, combined with almost finishing the addiction that kind of kept me from blogging the past two months,

Finally, a week where I should really have to work late, and I get to come home and have a little more free time in the evening, and where I can do things I've been neglectful of (such as blogging).So yes, lets get to the major news. I've given notice to the worldwide leader. No, I don't have another job yet, but thankfully I'm in a career where freelancing is a viable option. I discovered

Sorry about the delayed response. My life has been busy and has taken some interesting turns as of late. Details will come whenever I get around to posting again.When I woke up the next morning (after like 4 hours of sleep) I actually debated going to the hotel gym and working out since I knew my friends had adjusted a little better to the local time (and were much drunker then i when we went

Eventually I will get around to posting part 2. But I'm too lazy to type it right now. I'm busy the next 2 night, and then I'm hopefully leaving town Friday night for my one good deed of the year. Hopefully I'll get to this shortly after I return.

What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, unless of course you're with a mixed group that has a lot of cameras, in which case, I think the only solution is to blog about it.Originally, I was supposed to get in to Las Vegas around 6:15 local time. My flight left the gate at Laguardia pretty much on time. Unfortunately because of this cluster fuck I proceeded to spend the next 2 hours IN THE PLANE,

Another Red Sox win. Another Yankees loss. Needless to say, it is a good day. Speaking of the Yankees loss, it involved a steal of home, which in this day and age of baseball is almost as rare as a no hitter. In fact, I would argue that stealing home is the most exciting play in baseball, since it involves what I would consider to be the highest risk and highest reward. I think its a play

So I discovered this weekend, I'm totally in the wrong career. I say this because not only does my sister have a job instantly upon graduation, but her job gives her four weeks of vacation. That's right, 4 weeks. I have 2. Yes I'm jealous.

1) Update the blog template.2) Start learning PHP.3) Apply for the ND ticket lottery (Penn State and a TBD home game)4) Donate money so I can be in next year's lottery.5) Buy my sister a graduation present (once I think of something good).6) Buy a train ticket so I can actually attend the graduation.

So we had the first beautiful weekend of the year. Last week I was hoping to go for a bike ride on Sunday. Unfortunately, as the weekend drew closer and closer, and after tow nights at the office to 10pm, it became clear that I was going to need to work on the weekend. I suppose I got up before 11 am I would only have needed to work on Saturday, but it's still the weekend, and I still sleep

This entry will be random, and possibly a little rambling.Fashion:I've noticed recently the wallet chain is making a come back. Though its really more among the ghetto kids the the punk kids.

So the weekend after being woken up by runners I was woken up by workers sawing through bricks on the building across the street. I thought the blue collar people in this city had unions that told them not to work on weekends, then someone pointed out to me that the unions actually tell them to work on weekends so they make time and a half. I can't win. It's like some divine sing telling me I

Apparently the theme for this week is to find those little things that annoy the piss out of me. There is currently some dumb old bitch doing 7 loads of laundry at once. There are 4 washers in my building, so occupied them all for one 40 minute set. Annoying, but I can deal. But after the first 4 you have 3 more! Are you fucking serious! Are you washing your entire wardrobe? What the fuck

"Run for fun" is a concept that is completely beyond my comprehension. The list of things that I would do before running include such items, but are by no means limited to stabbing myself, jumping out a 3rd story window and participating in ultimate fighting. What really pisses me about runners is that they seem to have this compulsion to do their running at the ass crack of dawn, and if

So very slowly I'm getting my new computer set up. I meant to do a lot with it this weekend, but Saturday I was doing laundry and watching ND kick the crap out of Marquette (by the way my expectations for next year will be very high for this team). Sunday I was just a complete bum. Anyway, if you're thinking of buying a new computer with Vista, I recommend holding off for a year so they can

My new PC finally got here today. This whole thing was a big tease becuase I ordered a webcam too (for shits and giggles), and that came in like 3 days, but the PC took like 3 weeks. Anyway its here. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have anywhere near the necessary amount of plugs to plug in both PC's at the same time in the same location. Hopefully this is solvable with only a few small

Seriously. In Big East play we're 5-0 at home, and 1-5 on the road (I think the 102 spot we put up on the 'Cuse was a bit of an aberration). Ok, Carter and Kurz were less than 100% but seriously. We seem to do alright without McAlarney when we're at home, but on the road we seem to come up just short. I suppose this si better thatn last year when we caem up just short EVERY Big East game, but

I think Bud Light definitely won the award for "best overall", with Career Builder coming in second, but otherwise, I think this was the most dismal year for commercials ever. Granted they've sucked for the past sevearl years, but there were usually more things that at least made me smile. There weren't even many of those this year. As far as the game went, I'd have to say it went more or less

It's official, I'm the only person in my office who can do my job, so if I get hit by a bus everyone is pretty much screwed. Also, if you were planning on murdering me, and have some strange hatred for my company and want to screw them over, now would be a good time to get on that. Of course this morning, I almost took care of that myself when I tried to cross the street which was a sheet of ice

Now, I have 2 Amy's in my phone, and she wasn't either of them, and while I certainly have had plenty of drunken nights where details are a little fuzzy over the past few weeks, none of them were in situations where I was meeting new people.

Friday night I watched Lord of War with my friend Dipod. I remember watching the privews and thinking this movie woudl be kind of interesting. However, I thought it kind of sucked.

(Just don't tell that to the people at the Chaunakah party I'm going to tonight:-x)It was a kind of weird when people were asking me if I was going home for Christmas.

So my Mom, who likes to through us a bone and come up with a good list of things that work as Christmas presents (please add sarcasm to that), pretty much only asked for one thing for Christmas, when I finally asked her specifically what she wanted. Now she told me I could order it online, which is all good and well, except that I leave

You want to know what this is? No, I'm not referring to the fact that I'm a bum and I'm in on a Friday night, I'm referring to the fact that it's December 1st, it was almost 70 out today, and I'm wearing flip flops right now. The only reason my window isn't wide open is the fact that the wind is blowing at like 30 miles an hour, and I have random bits of paper floating around my desk that

I suppose it only took about 5 months, but this is finally something that I'm actually proud to say is pretty much my own work, and is someting that actually functions in a pretty cool way too. That, and it doesn't hurt to get a few votes to the right school.Check it out.

I can't find the stats, but he had 3 early drops that would have made 1st downs and put us in position to score and get the game close. Now we all have to wait 2 or 3 years to beat USC while Charlie actually gets the talent that can make use of his coaching ability. Boo Rhema! >:-0

I spent most of the weekend recovering from a little cold so I did the intelligent/loser thing and just hung around my apartment and watched football and movies for the most part. So, I’m just going to list some of the thoughts I’ve had during the week.I think I might start seriously singing again. A former clubber living in NYC is apparently part of a group called The University Glee Club. I

OK, one of the supposed nifty perks of living in NYC is the celebrity sighting. Of course, I don’t pay much attention to mainstream TV, and only pay to see movies made by Kevin Smith, so for all I know I’ve seen 30 celebrities, and I just haven’t realized that people think they’re relevant. Anyway, I think I finally had one last Saturday at the ND game watch. It was Tom McBeath, better known

One of the perks of going to the ND game watches at McFadden’s is the DJ plays a lot of music reminiscent of the ‘Backer. Two such songs that were played last week were “Rains in Africa” and “Friends in Low Places.” This got me thinking about what would go on my ‘Backer playlist. Including the aforementioned songs, I think it would start something like this:AC/DC – You Shook Me All Night

So, within the past few months, we've gotten IE 7.0, Firefox 2.0, AIM 6.0 beta, and there's a new blogger beta. The first 3 are also all bigger than the older versions of course, which combined with my mp3 downloading, is sucking up space on this 6 year old computer all too quickly. I have a feeling I may have either A) buy a new computer, or B) significantly upgrade mine with some new hardware

...and trying to close my eyes.Tomorrow I get to spend the day on the company's tab. One of the main things that has helped me get over feeling guilty about this is that Saturday night/Sunday morning at around 2 or 3 am, I have to be up to do some work for the bane of my existence.

Friday night was my big night. I went as a nerd, which I've actually been doing for like 3 years, but I keep moving, so no one ever sees me and I can keep pulling the same thing, 'cause I'm lazy. (The photo here isn't actually this year’s, but the only difference is this year's had suspenders.) Normally I like to keep the costumes a secret, but after seeing nerd costumes in the store, and

A very frustrating day at work. While I think we all know my career path does not lie in sales and marketing, I do sort of wonder how I got to a spot where two of things I hate/couldn't care less about (advertising and legal BS) are the main things almost all of my coworkers deal with on a day to day basis. The particular frustrating point is that we have a client who is not just 1) wrong about

While sitting in the A train at 125th street Monday, I noticed someone scribbled, "Math saves more lives than Jesus." I knew there was a reason I got my degree in Math.I think I saw the most content homeless person ever Monday. In fact, he looked so content, I'm not even 100% sure he was homeless, except for the fact that he was sitting on the floor of the subway station, and didn't appear to

More social life = less blogging. The irony being that I actually have something to talk about when I have a social life, but not the time to blog about it. Anyway, last Wednesday a friend of mine invited me to see Mary Poppins, which is currently in previews on Broadway. Generally speaking, I don't really have a whole lot of interest in the Disney musicals, but Mary Poppins is sort of a

After a weekend that involved me doing a whole lot of nothing and spending lots of time on AllofMP3.com, I decided there were a few new albums I needed to purchase. Conveniently, there is a Tower Records across the street from my office, so I can buy new music and then listen to it while I'm at work. The good news was everything was 15% off, which brings the prices down from too high to

And I love it. Unfortunately the cold weather means the heat is on in my apartment, which most of you might not think is bad, but I have no control over it. Also, while I'm far from perfect (but none of you would think I would ever admit that), I do make a modest effort to be eco friendly, and would probably rarely turn the heat on, since living on the 6th floor of the building, I would

Ok, so next Wednesday apparently there is some charity thing where UCLA and ND alumns are going to be guest bartenders. I'm debating whether or not I actually want to volunteer for this. The upside would be that I would get to pretend that I'm a bartender for a few hours. The downside is that I would have to leave work a little earlier than I want to (and we're about to get crazy busy again,

I just say a commercial where a Coke showed a Notre Dame fan and a USC enjoying a coke together. I'm sorry, but on no circumstances would this ever occur. This would be like Jesus and Satan going out for a beer after work one day. It just doesn't happen like that. I would never watch ND v. USC with a USC fan. EVER! That's just like sleeping with the enemy. Anyone who does that will find

I did something similar once before, and it was pretty damn random, and basically made no sense. IF YOUR LIFE WAS A MOVIE, WHAT WOULD THE SOUNDTRACK BE?So, here's how it works:1.

'Twas a good weekend. I took Thursday and Friday off, and had a relaxing travel day Thursday. I stayed in Chicago at the home of Jim, Schwaz, Jesse and Bubba, all former otters. My original plan was to pay them all in football tickets for putting me up, but Jim wasn't there, Schwaz already had tickets, and Jesse and Bubba decided they didn’t want to go. Oh well, I owe them one. We ended up

...but most of you knew that already anyway.This weekend I'm going out to ND for the Glee Club reunion. I'm flying out Thursday to Chicago and staying with the Otter Room guys (Jim, Shwaz, Bubba, Jesse, yes they all live together). Unfortunately, I forgot to call Jim tonight and figure out A) how I'm getting there and B)are they laying claim to my extra Purdue tix. The really odd part is that

So yes, the weekend with the parents in Canada was nice. It was good to see the parents and go to the ball game. I just wish they had informed me that I was being used for physical labor before arrived. It's not that I mind doing some heaving lifting, but I kinda like to dress in older clothes I've already beaten the crap out of instead of the clothes that didn't have permanent stains on them

I had an f-d up dream this morning about 15 minutes before my alarm when off that my mattress started rising and was going to dump me off the bed. Just plain freaky. Needless to say the last 15 minutes in my bed weren't all that comfortable.I had a brilliant thought in the middle of the day that made me say, "Damn, I need to blog about it. It's so good, I don't need to write it down." Idiot.

OK, I need to keep myself up late (sometimes I hate working for a .com) so I'm blogging. First things first. Brady Quinn has not improved at all from last year. He peaked last year, and has made no improvement to this year. There is not a doubt in my mind we will win every other game on our schedule, with an exception of USC. That won't be pretty since they are pretty talented. However, I

So with Brady Quinn being on the cover of the Mag a few weeks ago, this cover obviously made it up into my cube. It must also be noted that there are at least 3 Michigan fans in my office. I put said cover up in my cube Tuesday I believe. Today I discovered Mr. Quinn had sprouted a sharpie mustache and devil horns. Consequently, said cover has been removed. Michigan fans are clearly the

OK, I'm going to talk about my free shoes some more since I don't really have anything important to talk about, and since most of my readers are female, and consequently won't be alienated by me talking about shoes. Since I got out of work at 6:30 today (that's right, an actual normal time to leave the office), I also had time to work out for the first time in 2 or 3 weeks. I decided that this

Things must be getting better. Two days of blogging in a row. And I left work at 7:15 today. ::sigh:: It's sad when the 9.5 hour day starts seeming short. I still haven't worked out in weeks, but at least I have a little relaxation time at the end of my day.I forgot to mention this yesterday, but for the start of Monday Night Football, they let us wear t-shirts they handed out to us last week

Apologies for the disjointedness.I think I may be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel for these past few shitty weeks at work. Granted, I still stayed until 10 tonight, but that may not have been necessary, it just nice to have a few hours where no one talks to you and you can get some actual work done. That, and if you have to spend a few late nights at the office, I'd rather do it on a

Sorry for dropping off the face of the earth, but recently my life consists of getting to work by 8:30, and leaving around 10, so I don't even turn on my computer when I come home. Life basically just sucks for me right now, but I think I might be seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe. I'll see if I can't get a real post up on Sunday.

Question: if you were hanging out someone at a bar who had/was recovering from cold sores, would you willingly offer that individual your drink, and then finish it after they tried it?Anyway, since the softball field was apparently under water, we cancelled softball and just went to the bar where the beer pong started right up. Now we all know that drinking games such as cups and beer pong

Good times all around. We decided to start by drinking. So we went to a place called the Beach Bar were we had about 7 pitchers of beer. After many drunk dials to former otters and Carrie, we decided to go get some food. This took us to Hooters where we had another two pitchers, and probably the heaviest Hooters waitress I've ever seen. By this point in time we were obviously feeling pretty

Last night, per my regular Wednesday ritual, I went and played softball with my company, and then went to Mo's Caribbean Tavern afterwards. The night started well with 3 wins at the beer pong table, then my partner decided to willingly give up our spot to some cute girls. The alcoholic in me would never do such a thing, but since they were cute, and I hadn't eaten any dinner, I didn't argue too

My brain was turned off today. I didn't realize it until late afternoon, but it suddenly become quite obvious to me. I had the first fantasy draft of the season with some coworkers ('cause I’m a sports freak like that) in the afternoon. I told a friend of mine that we'd meet up at 6:45 in front of the theater for "Chicago" tonight. I look at my analog watch in my coworker's apartment and at

Yesterday I learned that one of my favorite sports columns is going to be ended on August 31st. The Daily Quickie was a column I started reading when I first started at ESPN doing customer service. I read it almost every single day and covers everything in the world of sports in 50 word sections. It's perfect if you have a short attention span, or are compiling code and you need something to

When I got in line to order my lunch at the cafeteria, the "chef" (I use the term very loosely here) was using the permanent marker used to mark the wrapping for meals to write on a paper towel to write what I swear was graffiti practice. I guess you can take the kid out of the ghetto, but you can't take the ghetto out of the kid.Speaking of ghettos, I have a story about buy shoes this past

So, with the weather being gorgeous, all of my errands taken care of, and the fact that my doctor says I need to do some more aerobic activity, I decided to go for a bike ride. I started at my apartment, biked down Riverside Park to Battery Park. The bike path ended there so I went back up to the Word Financial Plaza for a Starbucks break. After my break, I started back North. With my legs

So I have this bottle of wine. I am entirely capable of drinking this by myself, but I'd prefer not to. True, I could just go buy a stopper & vacuum set, and drink half the bottle, and save the rest for later, but said stopper would make an excellent Christmas gift, and is also easy to transport in a suitcase. These are the things I'll have to keep in mind as long as my parents are living in

OK, half this shit happened like a week ago. I'm a space cadet. Deal with it.I've always been under the impression that I get a discount at the ESPNZone so when my parents go in town on Saturday we went there since they wanted a beer and there aren't a whole lot of pubs floating around Times Square. Apparenlty however, my discount only is good for Monday through Friday. Fuck you ESPN. Fuck

I've been meaning to review Clerks II for a few days but I'm a little absent minded so it ended up not happening until now. Anyway, this film was f-ing hilarious. Any film that tackles that major issues like ass to mouth and bestiality gets an A in my book. While nothing can compete with the original genius of Clerks, Clerks II does it justice. Of course, one could argue that I have a slight

But g it's 11:30? Yeah, well, when I say I'm not a morning person I really mean it.Yesterday, I got a call from my friend Krista yesterday saying that she would be in town for the night and that they would be going out somewhere. Of course I accepted said invitation. We started at some shady Irish Pub that I think was originally chosen because the under 21 members of the group could get in.

I have to start with sports. Losing Vartitek is awful for the Sox. He may have been having a down offensive year, but he knows what to do with the pitching staff. It's not that I don't have faith in Mirabelli, who is an excellent defensive catcher, but he hasn't played every day, in possibly ever. Calling up our AAA catcher, who was batting a whopping .207 in AAA, is far from sufficient.

I had to stay a little late at work today. Something I'll probably have to start doing a lot for the next two months. Not that this is such a bad thing. One of the only advantages of having a job title of "Ass. Prod." is that I get paid for overtime. It's still a little weird though, when everyone around you has gone home, and the only people walking in the hallways are the shady custodians.

Well, This is my 100th post, so you all know what that means.1. If you ask me a direct question about myself, I will almost always answer it.2. I abhor telling anyone anything about myself if they don’t ask me a specific question.3. Prior to last year, I had never broken a bone.4. I broke someone’s collarbone when I played JV hockey in high school, so I guess karma finally caught up to me.5. All

Best. Bar. Ever. I went out with a friend of mine last night to one the bar's on the Upper West Side that I've been meaning to check out for a while. Reasons for this include the fact that it is easy for me to get to, it's an Irish pub, it had a 9.2 rating on citysearch, and it's advertised as a sit down and relax place (as opposed to the bars where you have to scream at the person sitting

So, I went to the ND picnic Saturday night. It was a bit rainy for a while, but it eventually cleared up and good times seemed to be had by all. Now thankfully I can go to a few more ND events in the city and recognize a few people. I think one of the most important things I learned was the acquiring a keg in the city is exceeding difficult. The ND club pulled off ('cause they got connections

So, just shy of my 100th post I have enabled word verification since my blog got hit with a comment spammer. Darn, I find those things annoying but I guess they are a necessary evil, either that or my blog has become relevant enough to spam. (I enjoy my delusions of grandeur, just let me run with it).It's been pouring all day (or at least most of the times I've tried to go outside today), so I

No, it doesn't happen often, but it does happen. My foot is much better today, and while I really want to work out, I'm going to do what I think is the intelligent thing, and not do that until my foot is healed, particularly considering the pain I was in Monday night when I tried to sleep. I'm also a lot less bitchy today, which probably has a lot to do with my foot, but probably also has a lot

I think the arch in my left foot has collapsed. This is a problem I've had since I was a kid, but I had never really been sure of the problem, I could just always push on whatever lump there was on the bottom of my foot, and it got fixed (with vary degrees of pain). So, Sunday I wake up and there is the lump on the bottom of my foot. Grr. I try pushing it back in, but its incredibly stubborn/

So, a few details need to be ironed out, but it looks like my friend Carrie will be my date to reunion. I was quite curious why she wasn't going with Sean since last I heard they were engaged. Apparently however, Carrie has broken off the engagement. I have no details. I tried calling her today and she didn't call back. I left her a message so hopefully she'll call me tomorrow so I can

So, with the move to NY, I had to get a new doctor. I really don't care for going to the doctor since I'm not a big fan of "preventative maintenance." That and I think I'm cool with dying at 60. However, in the event I do actually need one, it would be nice to skip the small talk and get to the "what hell is wrong with you" part of the conversation. Anyway, I had stepped on a scale at a

Ok, so it's not really a week off, but instead of going to the theater right after work and not getting home until 1 or later, I actually come home after work and follow my "regular" routine. Unless specifically invited, I don't think I'll be going out this week. I kinda just want to chill and watch TV and just generally waste time. Some final thoughts on the World Cup. I was rooting for the

"A Friday."Sorry for not blogging much. A friend of mine asked me to help out with a play doing set changes and what have you, and consequently I have not gotten home until 1 or later most nights this week, and I haven't even turned on my computer. The name of the play is The Cripple of Inishmaan. It's pretty much a dramady. The whole play seems funny, but then the main character dies in the

I have been waiting to get this in the mail for a few months now, and it finally came, the invitation to the 2006 Glee Club reunion. I have been waiting for this probably since the moment I graduated. I can't wait. The only downside of this is that I'm going to have to plan ahead, which isn't something I'm a big fan of doing. Now, reunion is somewhat of a date event, and knowing that most

So, I have returned from a fun filled week of camp. Unfortunately it rained almost every day so we didn’t get to play softball :-(, but oh well. I managed to maximize my responsibility while doing a minimal amount of work by just doing unit coverage, which basically consisted of me sitting at my campsite and reading a book and making sure one got hurt. Speaking of books, I finished Lamb. It

I will be taking a break for the next week to go to Music Camp (not band, music). This is the one week of the year I actually put others before myself. No this is not a trend, and I'm still an asshole, trust me.

Knowing the bartender kicks ass. I suppose I already knew this, but in this case I knew the bartender before I ever attended the bar (Local) and she hooked me up all night long.Relying on coworkers to show up is not something I will never do again. Next time I hear about something like this, I will check with the coworkers a day ahead, and get definitive yes or no answers. If the answers are

Finally went to see Da Vinci Code last night (yes I realized I probably ruined the book for myself, I'll get over it). I have to say I agree with most of the reviews. It was kind of meh. I figured out what was going to happen a little more than half way through, and I could definitely see how a lot of things would work better in writing.

We fuckin' won today, and there ain't no one that can tell me otherwise. We were clearly the better team. I'm not even going to bitch about bad officiating (though it was awful) because we overcame that shit to win the game. In every major sport in this country, injuries don't mean shit. In football (the American kind), if a DB pulls his hammy on a bomb, and receiver is wide open, the play

I was on my way home from Brooklyn last night, and managed to catch the J (which according to all the subway maps available doesn't run in southern Brooklyn, but whatever) and took it up to junction where I could transfer to the D after only a few minutes of waiting. Pretty impressive for late night trains. Anyway, as the D approached the section of track I'm familiar with (59th to 145th), I

I came home yesterday to find a tag hanging on my door with a business card for a recruiter in the Marines. I'm 24 years old and I can afford to live in New York City, why would I want to join the marines? Oh, I should mention that it was addressed to a "Garrett Wilson."

On the train to work this morning we got held up 125th street for a "police investigation." It's annoying but I can deal, I'd just prefer to be somewhere else the next time an "investigation" occurs. There's something just slightly unnerving about a bunch of cops walking checking into every car of the train you're on in the middle of Harlem. On my way home there were announcements that

You heard me right. Our soccer team is awful. Apparently the Czech's were supposed to be the "aging" team, but the US looked like a bunch of 40 year olds with hangovers out there. We passed poorly, didn't run well, and had some total breakdowns on defense. In short, we did just everything wrong.

So, at Kat's birthday party last week, I ran into someone who was apparently good friends with one of my best friends from school, Katie. During our brief conversation she mentioned that she was going on a Vegas trip with Katie and other Pangborn girls, and I told her that Katie "totally had to drunk dial me" while she was there, or something like that.
