My sister’s flight finally came into PHL Friday night around 11:30, so by midnight we were taking 76 through the city to head back to my apartment. I had planned on pizza that evening, but arriving back around 1AM left us with the options of a local diner or Wawa. Wanting her to have the […]

Wii, TV, Blinker and Smartphone
May 18th, 2009 by pleia2
I bought a Wii this weekend. It’s been on my “want” list for quite some time now but I kept putting it off due to financial considerations. I still had those considerations on my mind, but I needed some retail therapy. Nudge me via email to swap Wii and MarioKart codes :) I ended up […]

Git, Star Trek, firewall fail and sister
May 8th, 2009 by pleia2
Wednesday night I skipped down to Philly for an amazing pollo y papas burrito at MexiCali Cafe and then over to PLUG for Kyle Burton‘s Intro to Git talk (slides are on his talks page). Great presentation, and in an interesting twist of fate, while sitting at the meeting I received an email from my […]

I slept in this morning. Sleeping in is somewhat unusual for me, but for some reason I’ve had a very difficult time sleeping lately, I’ll take what I can get! Once I got up I decided to take the plunge and upgrade my desktop from 8.10 (Intrepid) to 9.04 (Jaunty). It went well aside from […]

Today was hot, it appeared to have peaked around 91F, matching the record set in this area 19 years ago. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced 90F degree weather in April before, this is the second day of it and it looks to be lasting through Tuesday. My apartment is retrofitted for A/C, which means […]
“One’s never alone with a rubber duck”
April 21st, 2009 by pleia2
I moved into this apartment about 6 months ago. I can’t say that I was ever particularly excited to be living alone, at first I was reeling from the divorce and coming to terms with living alone for the first time in my life. I’ve been able to enjoy the novelty of living alone during […]

This morning I had a bagel
April 15th, 2009 by pleia2
My blog used to be much more “daily life” oriented. When things started getting tough life-wise I scaled back a lot from my near-daily entries and just posted about events. Then life got busier and I continued to not make blogging a priority, getting to the point where blogging is something that ends up on […]

Clutter

I moved in to this apartment with a lot of books and stuff. I think the pack rat part of me took comfort in being surrounded by my things, especially now that I’m living alone for the first time. I moved three times last year with all of this stuff, never going through any of […]
