Anyone that was at the party on NYE know what happened to the Glenlivet 18 that Senor Yusef brought? It was unopened at party start - and whereas I did see some people drinking it - it seems kind of unlikely that the whole bottle got nuked - it was almost full when I saw it last. I got curious and glanced in the recycling bin, but no bottle. Just wondering if someone put it somewhere wierd in a half-drunk (or even fully drunk) state. |

BTW - in case it wasnt obvious...
The last post was not meant to be "woe is me - I have no time" whining - more transparency into life events. I am actually really excited about grad school - it would be nice to have an official and useful education in my chosen profession rather then haphazardly stumbling across info as it comes up in my job. Also - whether or not it is actually true, my parents both pushed grad school pretty heavy when I was a kid (not so surprising since they were both professors), so it feels good to be jumping into higher ed. I am hoping that formal study in computerness will be both challenging and engaging. The future in general is looking busy and bright - and the year so far is shaping up to be a good one. Now that I think about it - last year was pretty damn decent, too. Didn't see quite enough of people - which is probably a continuing trend - but looking at my quality of life dashboard, everything is looking pretty rosy. I am lucky to have the people in my life that I do - and I am happy you guys are there even if I don't see you all the time. Busy is not bad - is just busy. :-) |

Uhm - Yeah - Busy
So, I just sent out a pair of e-mails explaining the ridiculous over-stuffed schedule that I signed up for - and rather than continuing to do that one-by-one - I thought I would make a more global "I am going to socially disintegrate soon" announcement using the Interweb. Starting January 22nd, I will be returning to college to get my Masters in Information Systems. Because I am aiming to finish in 3 years, and I have my squishy Psychology degree for undergrad (meaning I have to take 4 foundation courses in addition to the 10 grad courses), this means that I will have two night classes a week, in addition to associated homework. On top of that, I still have the game I run monthly, the game I play in twice a month, a weekly date night with my lady love, and the regular chores that all of us adults have to stress over. It might be slightly better when I stop commuting daily in DC (look for that sometime in June) - but until then, expect a lot of "I am sorry's" for evites and invitations. Don't worry - it will only be for like 3 years. I miss y'all already. :-/ |

Forgot How Good These Guys Were
Just found my CD of Steppin Init - a blues-rock Indy band out of Lansing, Michigan. Me and the Girlie saw them open for Eddie from Ohio up in Baltimore, and I fell in love with their modern take on the blues. Their version of Louis Armstrong's "Do You Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans" instantly puts me back in the French Quarter eating beignets and listening to street performers. Go Check Em Out. Kay - now back to work. Current Mood: bluesyCurrent Music: guess |

PSA
BTW - for those contemplating doing something fun-filled in DC this weekend, you may want to rethink. I was just reminded by a co-worker that Rolling Thunder is this weekend - so traffic is going to *suck*. If you need to - use le' Metro. |

Worst. Movies. Ever.
FYI - I have discovered the worst movies on earth, at least according to Rotten Tomatoes. What they are will not come as a shock, but I was a bit surprised at some of the competition they beat - notably, that they beat Battlefield Earth by 3%, and Mortal Kombat 2 by 4%, Elektra by 7%, and Catwoman by 9% - all very righteous debacles in their own right. But no - the two worst movies I have ever found on Rotten Tomatoes are: ( Drumroll Please ) |

Museumage
Just getting around to posting about it now, but over the weekend, me and the Girlie did much museum visiting - both on Saturday and Sunday. My opinions, in brief: ( Cut to Save Your Screen Space ) Current Mood:  relaxedCurrent Music: Crystal Method |

Little Miss Sunshine
Really good - I laughed, I cried, I kissed $11 goodbye (all literally - thanks, Cinema De Luxe - or actually, since was my lady's treat - thanks Girlie). Was good - kind of a cross between a Wes Anderson flick (Life Aquatic, Rushmore, Royal Tannenbaums) and that Blind Melon video with the little Bumble-bee chick. No - I am not kidding. BTW - feel fear. Who thought he would get another job after Requiem. *shiver* |

Denver Food Scene
Just finished my last piece of yummyness here in Denver - and - just in case any of y'all end up here at some point - wanted to give my impressions. Apologies in advance for rampant food-snotty-ness. ( Denver Yummies ) |

Denver Art Scene
So, today was my first day of true sight-seeing in Denver - and I must say - I was impressed. Very nice art scene here. 4 official art museums of varying sizes: the DAM (Denver Art Museum - which was closed sadly), the MCA (Museum of Contemporary Art), the Visual Arts Center, and the Denver Sculpture garden. Additionally, their was Santa Fe Drive which is called the "Denver Art District." Overall, the Denver Art District was so-so - some gems, but the signal to noise ratio sucked - much like it does at place like the torpedo factory. For every nice abstract piece, there were 5 pictures of someone's cat, and three fruit bowls. None of them were strong enough to gain particularly notable mention. ( Specifics Inside ) |

Jewelry for Sale!
So my sis opened up a store front for some jewelry she has been making as a hobby - and really - it is pretty damn original, and kinda fun. Thought that some of the fashion conscious might get a kick out of it and want to consume: Ami's Site |

Isn't Kinda Sad?
Isn't strange how much less there is too talk about when things are going great? Like - when things are miserable and crappy, we have like 8 million things to say - this sucks, and that sucks - and man did he ever piss me off - and I am worried about that other thing. But when things are going great, we got nuthin. I guess it makes sense - when things are going right - ya kinda just want them to keep goin right - and its not like anyone wants to hear this conversation 80 times: "That thing that was awesome before. Still awesome?" "Yep." I mean - drama sells for a reason I guess - though I am glad it is at an all time minimum for me at the moment. Just kooky that it seems like people wanna share when it sucks more then when its bad-ass. Hrmmm.... Current Mood:  thoughtful |

See TAC and Rodent - You are not alone....
Apparently Matt and Tres have decided to make it a personal Vendetta to squish Scientologists everywhere: Their declarationFavorite line ever = "Temporarily anozinizing our episode will NOT stop us from keeping Thetans forever trapped in your pitiful man-bodies... You have obstructed us for now, but your feeble bid to save humanity will fail!" I love them. I really do. We outta start a religion for South Park. I just can't figure out if Cartman is the messiah or the anti-christ. |

Me and ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) girlie47 were doing calendar inspection and came up with some things that we wanted to invite all y'all too.

I'll evite later. Mar 19th (Sunday) - Kite Making This the weekend before the Cherry Blossom festival. The first day of the Cherry Blossom there will also be Kite Day - so I wanted to invite everybody to mi casa for a kite making day - particularly for all of the kiddie-types.

Once again - please invite maximum kiddage. April 29th - Cirque Du Soleil - Delirium This is in Charlotte, NC - and we are planning on coming down for the whole weekend - and anyone that feels like joining us for site-seeing as well, should.

Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin to Fuck With
Something about seeing all of the 9:30 club holding their hands above their head in the Wu Tang "W" while leaping up and down as 9 of the best rapper in the industry belt out rhymes that brings a freaking tear to my eye. Awesome show - watching them synchronize like that is amazing - and someone needs to get Method Man some Ritalin stat. And BTW - totally not the only white guy there - more like 2/3s of the audience actually - including devolutionary of all people. Whoda thunk. |
