Happy Birthday, Steph!

Posted in holiday, humor, ninjas, personal with tags , on March 27, 2006 by Paxton

First and foremost, it’s my wife’s birthday. She’s an extremely young 29. She said she better enjoy this birthday because every birthday after this one will also be her 29th birthday. Gotta love her. So far today she’s received the Grey’s Anatomy CD and the 4Gb pink iPod mini.

She met me for lunch and we went to Moon River Pizza. Here’s the newpaper ad for this place:

Greatest. Ad. Ever.

We’ll probably go out for drinks/appetizers for dinner then go see the movie Inside Man. It’s a heist movie, so you know I’m gonna talk about it here.

Buy a box of cookes…lose your soul

Posted in Girl Scout Cookies, humor, personal, random with tags , , on March 14, 2006 by Paxton


I am glad the whole Girl Scout cookie ‘sales extravaganza’ is over. Seriously. They were pimping those things out like crack rock. I’d go to the grocery store, there are two adults and their kids asking me to buy cookies. I walk THREE STORES TO THE RIGHT to go to Blockbuster Video and there are two more adults and kids asking me to buy cookies. How many places am I going to be harrassed to buy cookies? They are like the mafia. I felt like if I didn’t buy at least a box some guy named Vinnie was gonna kneecap me. It got so bad I almost started shopping exclusively at adult bookstores just so I wouldn’t see a little girl outside trying to shake me down for some cookies. And I’m not sure how much longer adult bookstores will be safe.

“Hey sailor, looking for a good time? Buy a box of Trefoils and see where the night takes you.”

Good night tonight. The wife and I went to eat sushi. Had the Dragon Roll, spicy scallop and Rock & Roll Tempura. Very good. Ate WAY too much. Afterwards, we saw 16 Blocks with Bruce Willis and Mos Def. Great acting, much better than I expected. We only saw this because there’s not much out we want to see but it was very good.

After getting home from the movie we watched Bing Crosby in Conneticut Yankee in King Arthur’s Court. Very silly musical. Very light, but enjoyable. Do NOT take it seriously if you see it. Bing Crosby, like Elvis Presley, has to sing about the most mundane events of his day in his movies.

My Blogs

Posted in blogging, Flickr, internet, personal with tags , , on March 10, 2006 by Paxton


Welcome to my blog!!

My friend Steve started a very cool blog over on Google Blogger (see his link Insight on Issues in my Blogroll) so I thought I would try my hand at writing a blog.  I have some good ideas for content so let’s see if anyone else will enjoy this or if I wind up writing this blog for my mother and 3 other people.  Hopefully we can all have some fun with this.

Other than this blog, I also have a photo blog at Buzznet. Check out my BuzzNet page here. I really haven’t updated there as much lately but I’m always updating my photo blog at Flickr.  Check out my Flickr page here.

So, without further ado, let’s kick off this blog with a few technology articles.
