Amherst Ramblings

31 07 2005

Back in the town thats dominated the last 5 years of my life. Staying in my new home, which is quite strange. Its coming along quite nicely, though, I must admit. We bought a painting yesterday which looks quite fine on the living room wall.

See it here
Its hung right in the middle of the big wall by the television.

We are also in the works for a futon to put in the living room. Something real classy-like, sorta.

Expect some pictures of the apartment real soon. Once I get the camera up here, you can all see how a modern-day king lives.

So the party last night was a pretty good time. A good crowd showed up and everyone seemed to be in a pretty good mood for most of the night. The same crew will probably get together today.

The probable activity

Thats right, my 9-month old pick for movie of the summer. Let us hope that my movie predictions are on point, otherwise it might be lame. Ill let you know later on. Bye bye for now.





Friday Night Writes

23 04 2005

Its Friday night. I’m waiting for everyone to get back from town so that plans can take shape. In the meantime, I’m watching the Red Sox, having a high quality beverage or two, and generally, being restless and bored. Restless about life. Bored with my night. So I didn’t hear about IPO today. Apparently they are still checking references and such today. I prefer to think they are just taking their time to find the right candidate, and hopefully that candidate will be me.

Tonight needs to be a good night, as well. I am on duty tomorrow night, so there wont be much fun had except for tonight. Let us hope it lives up to expectations. I also need to write a paper this weekend for English 348. I have no idea what to write-any ideas? At least it only needs to be 5 pages.

So this run of beautiful weather seems to be ending as the rain comes down outside. According to my handy little Mozilla Forecaster Extension, its gonna be rainy all weekend. What crap. But, for the most part, I cant complain too much about the weather conditions. I just hope it gets back to good sooner rather than later.

Lots of good feedback over my latest article. Apparently, you tackle a serious issue and people actually start reading. Maybe my snide comments and witty observations should be a thing of the past. Nah…

Work on the Europe website is progressing nicely. For those of you who dont know (which is about everyone short of one or two of you) I am working on a new bloggy type site for when I go to Europe. It’ll work in addition to emails home to tell everybody whats going on. It will be much more effective for showing pictures and other things off to a wide audience. However, Im not entirely happy with the format yet, so you dont get to see it yet. When I am happy, you will know. And you will be able to see it. And you will be amazed. I hope.

Alright, thats about it for now, I do suppose. Not a whole lot else to speak of. Expect more later this weekend. Bye for now.
