what a week.
Today has been less than stellar.
Going to Starbucks, hoping Internet connection there works better than here. Of course this would happen at crunch time!
Strange hearing about other countries talking about our elections. I’m sure it looks like a zoo. I think it is. @hhebig
AdobeAir? Evaporative cooling? Sign me up!
Starting the week off right: meetings.
Scratch that, all meetings cancelled. Sweet.

This helped fix my random Wi-Fi drop-outs and a slow connection.
Are we done with Oscars stuff now? Great, thanks. Difficult to get in the spirit of the an ego-centric industry self-congratulating itself.
/me ignores @bpp until after Oscars
Finally, 1TB of storage.
Just got back from Dave Ramsey live… pretty good, but not amazing. I am pretty pumped about the credit card I paid off this morning!
the saucer is hopping tonight. Note to self: cover charge on weekends. :(
Thinking about hitting up Flying Saucer for a Lagunita and free Wi-Fi. Those Lagunitas are like sirens to my taste buds.
I forget how huge Dallas/Fort Worth is until I have to drive across it. Could have just driven across an Eastern-seaboard state.
Spent entirely too much time waiting for a vehicle at Enterprise today. Would have rather been poking my eyeballs out.
Listening to Radiohead In Rainbows remix by Amplive. Nice.

Joined the UFO club at Flying Saucer… 200 bottles of beer on the wall… took 3 down, only 197 to go!
Visited a small church here in Arlington this morning… not quite my style. Maybe I’ll visit a large church for a change in pace.

Wow, I’m sincerely impressed. Sam Adams is trying to help out smaller, craft breweries who can’t afford the “astronomical” hop prices right now. Go have a Sam Adams as a thanks.

Time to plan train travel and hostel stays for summer backpacking trip. I ♥ planning.
Back from watching couples acting non-chalante at Starbucks. Oh, and feeling sorry for myself. Thanks, St. Valentine.

Love all the great, extra-dramatic sound effects in Hot Fuzz

While I eagerly await the return of Radiolab (February 22!), I’ve been catching up on old episodes of This American Life. I feel like I’m using the wayback machine. Shows from 1995 on “your radio playhouse” are still amazingly compelling. I particularly enjoyed the “Quitting“ episode.
