Beginnings, Middles and Ends – The Thursday Threesome

Posted on May 20, 2004 | Leave a comment
Onesome- Beginnings: Are there any television shows out there that you’ve watched regularly from the very beginning?
Joan of Arcadia, Smallville, Sports Night, Friends, Alias, Strange Luck, Roswell, VR5 and probably a few other sci-fi shows that didn’t last wlong.
Twosome- Middles: What about shows that you came into in the middle of the season but immediately grabbed your attention and turned you into a die-hard fan?
Actualy Friends was a middle of the season and but I was hooked. Mad About You hooked me for a while. I’m sure there is more
Threesome- And Ends: Recently, a number of big name shows have ended, Friends, Fraiser, The Drew Carey Show, and the cult hit, Angel. Did you watch any of the big finales? Have you ever been really sad to see a show go?
I was sad to see Sports Night and Roswell go. Every thing else was kinda short, this year I’ve lost a few: The Handler, Wonderfalls, I’m with Her, Century City and I’m sure there are a few more but I’d have to check my TiVo.

Hey! Be careful with that nail gun.

Posted on May 9, 2004 | Leave a comment

nailgun-tm“A construction worker had six nails driven into his head in an accident with a high-powered nail gun, but doctors said Wednesday they expect him to make a full recovery.” And by the way the “Authorities cleared the co-worker of any wrongdoing.”

Original Yahoo! story.

Minor Update: I found someone with a better photo (x-ray) of this guy.

Funny Update: Here’s contextual text oops related to the same article

Michigan Driving :(

Posted on April 23, 2004 | Leave a comment

I’m in Kalamazoo today for a conference (MACUL Education Technology Coordinators Conference) which is a very nice conference so far but I knew I should have come out last night. I-94 was a mess and I can’t stand to drive in construction when it’s busy. I’ve really learned to love the train but the times didn’t work out for me. Even the longcuts (longer than shortcuts) aren’t any good since they are doing construction on those roads too…
I really don’t look forward to heading back home…

100 Things

Posted on April 18, 2004 | 7 comments

Here’s my 100 things about me page. (If you’re looking for my 101 in 1001 days list go here.) To follow the theme that I’ve found on many other sites, partially to see what I come up with and to let others see what I come up with. I’ve broken this down a bit: I like, I dislike, I am, I’ve live in, I wish I understood more about, places I’ve been and before I die…

It’s interesting how many of these things I’ve blogged about so far…

UPDATE: December 2004/June 2005. I just came here to update this. I can’t believe how much it has not changed. The only other things are I’ve been liking my iPod (and listening to podcasting), the Scene It? DVD games and maybe some additional music groups (Katy Rose and maybe a few others) and I won’t add them until they’ve been around a bit longer. Probably “Two and a Half Men” (I laugh SO hard) and Liz Phair (added).

New Condo…?

Posted on April 18, 2004 | Leave a comment

So I’m looking at a new condo, I put a small deposit down to hold the one I want, I have to cough up more on saturday if I want to keep it. easton I was just in looking at it today (again) and I asked about the windows because my unit is mirrored and flipped around onto the other end and the windows that would be on the end have a building against it. She’ll check the blueprints, but I’m afraid they are just going to say that wall will be bare (which means I will not purchase it). I took a few photos, but none outside (oops), I’ll get one to post next time. Here’s a drawing from the web site (my place is only one-fourth of this)…

UPDATE: Wasn’t set up like I imagined so I canceled… Sigh…

Potpourri – Sunday Brunch

Posted on April 18, 2004 | Leave a comment
  1. Which television series do you think had the best final episode? Hmm… Have I ever been happy with a final episode…? Maybe Roswell, it tied up a lot of loose ends and left some options for the future (books).
  2. Do you own something that you really should throw away but can’t part with? Thousands of things: old computers, comics and other collectables from years ago, and …
  3. Would you be willing to spend a night alone in a house that is supposedly haunted? Sure. Especially if there were a prize or even better if it were truly haunted.
  4. Go back to your childhood … What did you want to be when you grew up? Mailman, Magician, Policeman. Astronaut (the only reason I didn’t follow this was that I thought I could do it as a passenger). The best was a Magician first and then a Policeman so I could use the magic to catch the criminals. As an older child I considered Chef and Photographer before finally orbiting around computers and training and video “stuff”.
  5. What do you need to make your favorite pizza?
From Sunday Brunch.
