Nerdy Hip

So I just got glasses for the first time. Apparently, I’ve been running around with an astigmatism for the last 29 years but never knew it. Maybe it’s too much time on the computer or maybe it was reading too much Harry Potter (or maybe I just like Harry’s look), but any way you slice…

A Job Well Done

Christine and I have decided on a reward system for working out. It’s not a diet, but more of a fitness schedule. If we each workout the number of times a week that we set as our goal, then at the end of the month we get a treat. Well we were very good for…

Recipe of The Month (January): Chicken Biryiani

I don’t know if anyone would be interested in sharing some recipes, but I’ve found a neat little Mac application that lets you manage your recipes. And since more and more of the people I know are switching to Macs (including my parents) I was thinking that there might be enough people that would want…

Never Growin’ up…

Another year has passed, and I find myself starting into my 30th year and I realize I’ve grown older and wiser (some may debate the latter) but I still enjoy acting like a little kid. Here’s hoping that even once I reach 30 I’ll still be the same way! To prove just how mature I…

Recipe of the Month (November) – Gaprow

I’m just barely getting this recipe in before the end of the month. And although it is not a particularly November type recipe (does not go well with turkey), I am currently a big fan of any recipe that lets me use my Thai peppers! A word of warning, this recipe can be very hot…

10 Year Reunion

It’s hard to believe, but last year was my ten-year high school reunion. To be honest, it was somewhat anti-climactic. In the movies, there is always so much more drama. I’m sure it’s a good thing though that every one was friendly and no one was out for revenge…even though it forces you to realize…
