It’s been a rainy weekend. Friday evening I went out to get my hair cut. I also uncharacteristically stopped at a couple department stores for some idle shopping. I ended up buying a bigger purse (which I needed) but also browsing some other departments. It was nice to just be away from work and home […]

Weekend with DarkSol
August 22nd, 2006 by pleia2
We had a nice weekend with DarkSol (Ian). He arrived Friday evening around 6PM, the drive up from VA took him about 6 hours. After chilling out for a bit we all piled into the Civic and went over to Sly Fox for dinner. Ian isn’t much of a drinker, so after a bottle of […]

How I got a free Dell Inspiron 7000
August 19th, 2006 by pleia2
Of course less than a week after Michael spends lots of time to detail all the machines on our network, I bring home another to add to his list :) I’m friendly with some of the IT guys at work, and the other day one of them was cleaning out one of the “old computer […]

Lots of little things…
August 17th, 2006 by pleia2
I’ve been taking walks at lunch these past few days because it’s been nice, but today it’s a bit more humid than I’d like so I get to finally write in this. Besides, MorganHorse needs something to read when she’s bored at work. I’ll start with beer. This week I tried some new beers, two […]

Growlers, Ubuntu and Spanish
August 13th, 2006 by pleia2
Friday night we met up with Michael’s friend from work Juliana and her boyfriend at Triumph Brewing in New Hope for a late (9PM) dinner. I’d never been to Triumph before, it’s pretty far for us to drive (almost an hour) and the only time Michael had gone was on his way home from an […]

Reason #2
August 11th, 2006 by pleia2
I don’t want to be buried when I die. I have a bunch of reasons why, but there are 3 major ones. 1. It is a waste of time and money to go through the embalming process, my body will be a chemical-filled mess when it’s put in the ground and won’t break down naturally. […]

Baseball and closed gyms
August 10th, 2006 by pleia2
Michael and I went with some of his family members to a Reading Phillies game last night. Game recap here, they won 4-1. I’m not much of a sports person, as if that’s not obvious. In fact, this is only the second baseball game I’ve ever been to in my life. The first was when […]

Falafel
August 8th, 2006 by pleia2
I’m sitting here at lunch eating some leftovers from dinner last night. Michael made pasta and falafel balls. Falafel … is a fried ball or patty made from spiced fava beans and/or chickpeas. It is a highly popular form of fast food in the Arab East, but is also made as a snack food for […]

Wedding dress shopping – SUCCESS!
August 6th, 2006 by pleia2
I went wedding dress shopping in Iselin New Jersey with Nita. It was fantastic of her to drive us up there. But talk about an overwhelming experience! First of all, Iselin is like a Chinatown, except Indian. There is Indian fast food, shops all over the place selling indian videos and such, all sorts of […]

Rock, Perl and a Dress
August 4th, 2006 by pleia2
While coming home from the PLUG meeting on Google Internals the other night told me this story. For those of you too lazy to click (I know I probably would be) the story is about the evolution of a popular Alternative Rock radio station in the Philadelphia area, Y-Rock 100. It was an FM radio […]
