Sunday: April 12, 2009 - Easter 12 of 12 12:00pm: I forgot it was 12 of 12 or else I would have taken a picture of when I woke up...which was like 11am. Oops. Now you'll have to settle for another Breakfast of Champions picture.
12:30pm: Picking out a nice cake to bring to Briecca's for Easter.
1:00pm: Rifling through the second season of Weeds. I wrongfully assumed every season would be on Neflix Instant or I would have rationed a little bit better.
2:30pm: Chompy being rudely disturbed from her mid-afternoon nap.
2:45pm: On my out to Sterling I'm reminded that DC has the best springtime ever. Take that, Springtime Tallahassee.
3:30pm: I forgot to pull off my tape before leaving so I came back in to do it. The piece is coming along nicely.
4:00pm: Here's my backlog of National Geographics that I'd been waiting for three months to get. I guess I can stop calling to complain now.
4:15pm: Looking good. I have the pink shirt on and it only comes out of the closet on Easter.
5:15pm: Brieccooty making deviled eggs. There were no deviled Cadbury Cream Eggs.
7pm: After dinner we walked to CVS through the bowels of Sterling to get Easter candy. All we found was this weird pig balloon, which might have been the weirdest thing I've ever touched. Ok, that's not true but it was still pretty weird.
10pm: Feeling the pangs of anxiety as closer Kevin Gregg warms up. MARMOL was already out of the game at this point. Gregg only gave up one run in the 9th and for him that's really good.
11:00pm: Chompy patiently waiting to go out while the Cubs game ends.
BONUS: Brian playing with Booty. We noticed that we've spent our last three 12 of 12s together.
Good Things Take Time...
2 days until FSU Football (2010)
Random Picture... Here was my invitation-only place at the poker table for Casino Royal night. I don't know how I possibly could have won starting with so few chips. I think I was out first.

· 09-02-200609-02-2009: I think I have the swine flu. I think I caught it during the Counting Crows concert then brought it back. I took the liberty of passing it along to 100+ college students in the hopes of teaching them a valuable history lesson about settlers and smallpox blankets (right Steve?) I actually do feel a little bit better today but I've also slept away the gross majority of the past three days. Tomorrow I have to go back to school and I can't call in sick so by 10am I'll know how bad I have it depending on how many students I inadvertently killed on Wednesday.
Football starts tonight. Thank God. Too bad I'll be asleep and have to miss the first two games. On Monday Tim and Chris are going to come over to watch FSU whomp Miami. Back to bed.09-02-2008: Ok, seriously, we're playing MarioKart tonight at 8pm. SERIOUSLY.
I got sick last night around 10pm for no reason. Just a regular cold but it came out of nowhere and by the time I woke around 2:30pm this afternoon it had almost totally gone away. Weird. I ordered ESPN GamePlan yesterday so now I can watch up to six college football games at once. This is grossly unnecessary but really, few things in life are really all that necessary. The Cubs can't clinch a playoff spot fast enough--my big TV awaits!
I also picked up Ab last night and she and Chompy covered my bed in dirt after running around in the clay before coming in. Speaking of clay, I read that some people crave eating clay while pregnant. Weirdy. Since I'm phoning in today's entry, here's a video that's worth the watch (with FSU alum Richard Simmons no less).
I took the day off blogging but only because I was thinking of you.09-02-2006: After laboring in coal-mine like conditions for the past 11 months I was pleased to get Labor Day off. Over the weekend the only major
thing I "accomplished" was buying a new TV for my office. I got it at Home Depot of all places but I wanted a 15" LCD and didn't want to spend $350 at Best Buy for a crap-brand when I could spend $250 at Home Depot for a Magnavox. The TV it replaced did not change channels or allow you to adjust the volume more than once a week. Usually each Sunday I'd decide what channel and volume to watch for the week and then hate my decision to choose Lifetime (hey, Fraiser was on) on near-mute. The new TV is nice and it looks good next to my two flat-screen monitors. Booyah.
