So perhaps I should start...

There has been one area of my life that has become my life of late.

Devoting all my time and effort to this endeavor has been my mission. Out of obligation, duty, or affection for those in my life. I have given all I am to this, forsaking almost all other aspects of my life: social assembly, friends, love, simple pleasures, all.

This mission has become my sole focus, a focus that borders on obsession.

But to succeed at this, this mission. I am quickly discovering, or perhaps have always known, there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish the task at hand. So what recourse is left to me, to my function.

Well, to push forward into the night and the morning, my health has been fed a steady diet of soda, candy and tobacco. The hope being to fool my body to be conscience enough to press on. And I fear to say, the effects of such a diet has begun to take a toll upon my body.

So where am I leading you dear reader with this plight that I am currently ridden with?

Well, I fear at the completion of my mission, with the effects of the diet has had on my person... well, I fear I may have to join...

...a gym.

Oh the misery of it all.

So how about that...

I totally thought I was going to bed early tonight... WHY am I still up?

Fuck it, this kid is going to bed.

1AM is still earlier then when I've been hitting the sack lately.

Smiles

This makes the geek in me smile.

need to mix it up

So I've kinda been burnt out creatively lately. Those of you who know me can probably guess why. But the last year, and more intensely these past few months, there has been one project that I have been focused on. Taking up my days, nights and weekends. And living and breathing that has been taking it's toll.

So I need a little something different.

So what have I decided? Well, I'm going to mod some items. In this case a XBOX 360 faceplate and a DIY soft vinyl toy, Munny.

Kinda looking forward to this. Check out www.yellowrant.com for progress, and I'll try and remember to post progress here too!

Not gonna lie, LOVE this!

Facebook getting a Face-lift...

That's right boys and girls, Facebook is getting a redesign. Well, that is to say, it's already happened. Released Sunday to a small number of users, and a complete rollout to all users in the next few days.

The new design has an enhanced "wall" action and is meant to better accommodate growing trends in micro-blogging, which Facebook wants to embrace to stay on top of competitors Friendster and MySpace.

So keep an eye out next time you login. You might have a new way to micro-blog to the world.

Enjoy!

New Discoveries...

So what did I learn last night?

Girl Scout® Thing Mint cookies go GREAT with a glass of white wine.

Happy Birthday America

My Desk.

So I sent a OT friend of mine a picture of my desk at work. Mainly cause her capstone in school was about ergonomics and your desk. So I recently got a new computer at work, and trying to situate the whole thing... well, it's probably not the best ergonomic solution. Anyway, thought of her when I was realizing this, thought you kids would enjoy the pic too!

Me Likey.

Yea, I'm not ashamed to admit I want this.

This hauntingly beautiful piece of creepiness was crafted by Bob Basset, and more photos can be seen on his Live Journal page here.

My Lesson for the Day...

Don't order a pizza t 8:30PM, not so much because you're getting the pie at a late hour, because you're gonna get the soda at a late hour. 2-liter bottle of whatever caffeinated goodness you love is gonna destroy your sleep, and by that I mean rob you of it.

The result, you're running on empty the next day at work, having interns catch you dozing off in fishbowls (they're like mini conference rooms). Like me, right now. ugh.

Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog!

Teaser from Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog on Vimeo.

Now, if you'll permit me a moment to geek out...

So some of you may not know, but during the Writer's Strike, fan-favorite Joss Whedon (Firefly, Serenity, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) wrote a musical with his brothers Zack and Jed, and Jed's fiance Maurissa.

As for the story and cast well, “It’s the story of a low-rent super-villain, the hero who keeps beating him up, and the cute girl from the laundromat he’s too shy to talk to.” says Whedon.

Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog will star Neil Patrick Harris as Dr. Horrible, Nathan Fillion as Captain Hammer, Felicia Day as Penny and a cast of dozens.”

The intent was to always have this as a web musical, and finally dates have been announced. Doctor Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog will air in three 10-minute segments on drhorrible.com on the following dates:

1st Episode 15 July
2nd Episode 17 July
3rd Episode 19 July

After that kids, gotta pay to see the goods. But you know it's going to be worth it! Anyway, check out the teaser above, and click the link below! Enjoy!

Enjoy.

I love the Japanese... don't tell my mother.

took a hit

So, I enjoy cooking. Those of you who know me know that's no big secret. But what you may not know, couple weeks back I cut myself with my chef's knife. Yeah, that sucked big time.

Anyway, I'm all healed now. And I was prepping food for a thing tonight, and I noticed I'm all nervous with a knife now. My knife skills are not what they used to be, not that I was anything to brag about before...

...but I've definitely taken a hit.
