Energizer does NOT keep you going

November 21, 2008

At work we were given wireless Bluetooth keyboards and mice. Thing is they are battery driven, obviously, so when your batteries die, so does your keyboard or mouse. To counter that they gave us Engergizer rechargeable batteries with a handy dandy little charger.
Well my office-mate(?) (guy I share my office with) his batteries died on [...]

Christmas in November

November 19, 2008

Why is it that Christmas seems to come earlier and earlier each year? Tara made a comment that stores are already putting out their Christmas decorations when it’s not even Thanksgiving yet.
This seems to happen every year and I’ve kinda gotten used to it. But earlier this week I saw a Christmas Special on Comedy [...]

This should come out on Tara’s restaurant review page or something.
Today a co-worker and I decided to go to a nearby Mexican-ish restaurant for lunch. We ordered, got our cups to fill up at the soda fountain, and sat down at a table. After several minutes a lady came and delivered my co-worker’s plate and [...]

During one of the segments, Stephen Colbert said he was blogging and TWITTERING his thoughts on the [...]

Election Day

November 4, 2008

I voted this morning. I was watching the news and they said the polls opened up at 7am, so I felt compelled to get dressed quickly and head to my local voting location before going to work.
It was only like a 20 minute wait so not too many people were there.
It’s kind of interesting, the [...]

Quick Hitters – For Reals This Time

November 3, 2008

My car’s muffler got jacked up last weekend. It’s better now thanks to some grace and favor from the Lord. Praise God.
Univ of Texas AND the Cowboys lost this weekend. Suck.
My office is COLD and there is no way to control the thermostat.
I don’t think I’m going to be able to vote tomorrow because I [...]
