Another post dedicated to my fellow super-nerd, Chase. This has got to be like the funniest videos I have seen in a while, especially one of the funniest nerd videos. Reminds me of the BBC’s IT Crowd.
Check out their site for more fun. The Website is Down.com
Did you like my drawing of the nerd? :-)
It seems like every week I’m flying out somewhere or otherwise taking a trip out of town.
Texas, Birmingham, Chicago, Kansas City, Saint Louis, San Francisco… This Monday I’m flying out to Raleigh North Carolina and giving a presentation to the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission and then Ryan will join me in Texas to spend a long weekend with my grandmother and grandfather at their home there outside of Austin.
I am really excited/nervous about the trip to Texas. This is the first time that I have really integrated a boyfriend in my family life. I have always wanted to do so with my past boyfriends (namely, only, Landon and Geoffrey) but a mixture of my fear and my family’s obvious distaste for that quelched any chances of something like this.
However, my family seems to just love Ryan, a lot. I mean, why not? He’s smart, funny, loving, cute, incredibly diligent, charming and so kind. He has helped me grow and feel comfortable in my skin. He is such a light in my life and my family must see that. He emails back and forth with my grandmother and my parents ask about him everytime we talk on the phone. How great is that?
So anyways, going to be busy traveling but it will be a lot of fun and let’s be honest, getting out of Columbia is about the best thing one can do in the summer!
Image via WikipediaSo yesterday was the fourth of July. Or rather, it was the Fourth of July. The day we celebrate our independence, here in America. Last year I was in Washington DC for the Fourth of July with best friend Landon. We had a nearly missed the show, and in the capitol city, but it was a wonderful time. This year was different, being in Missouri and not anywhere all that exciting.
We celebrate this by cooking out with friends and family, grilling some burgers and brats, enjoying the outdoor weather, drinking and setting off fireworks followed by watching a professional fireworks show later in the evening.
I accidentally didn’t do any of those things. I had the intention of grilling out with Ryan at his work. I had this idea that I’d hang out with my friend Beau and his guests for a Bar-B-Que. I thought I’d pick up some sparklers for a photo I wanted to take. I thought later I would go to Jefferson City or to Faruot Field and watch the fireworks show.
What happened was totally different but still a lot of fun. I went to Harpo’s where I hung out with Colin, Kevin, Brittany, Ashley and a couple of other friendly people. We had the idea of being on a roof equaling a great view of the fireworks. Not so much. The trees around the building blocked any site of the show. But that was ok, we had our drinks and our conversation. I had not seen Kevin in about a year so it was wonderful catching up with him. Plus, we totally matched.
Later we went to the trainwreck of a gay bar out here called, Arches and Columns. I hear it used to be a real deal pub, and then it was a leather daddy bar and now it’s just a dive. But always fun.
Bumped into more people I hadn’t seen in quite some time, had a drink, had a good time. We hung out a bit more at Kevin’s before I went home and crashed.
In case you haven’t noticed, I have put my Twitter feed onto the main page here. Just look to the top right of the front page of the blog. Check it out, hey, maybe even join Twitter and join the conversation.
This is what happens when a reporter swallows a fly on the air.
Thanks to Keith and the Girl for this.
