Right now, I've got a 22". I've got Batman Begins up -- although I watch it a few times a year, I want it to be fresh in my mind: I've got tickets to the Saturday afternoon showing of The Dark ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/17/my-tv-isnt-bigger-than-yours-but-i-dont-care/ I've been watching HBO's "John Adams" miniseries. It's good -- it's very good. But, for as good as Paul Giamatti is, he's no William Daniels: Good clip, though: David Morse makes for a wonderful George Washington, in my ever so not at all humble opinion. http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/17/john-adams/ I wonder if all big-box stores schedule the way the bookstore I work at does. I dislike referencing it as big-box, but it seems to meet the qualifications: large location, large company support, many many employees. The schedule is done on a spreadsheet, each hour for each employee ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/16/breaks/ Sunday, I wanted to do something. Maybe go out and see Hellboy II. Visit the Zoo. Something. Instead, I read Mario Puzo's "The Godfather." Never read it. I've seen the movie, twice, I think. The book is incredible. It's amazing how accurate ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/15/random-thoughts/ But that's what happens when you go to a relaxed happy hour Thursday night organized through work and find out -- surprise! -- it's also being sponsored by your employer. I think I was rather incoherent on the telephone that next day, and I've no idea how I made ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/12/fridays-a-blur/ I got home today from my part-time job and was busy unloading my cell phone, smartrip lanyard, keys, wallet, and glasses, when I heard Tippy mewl. She always cries when I walk in the door because, inevitably, she's always hungry. I glanced down at the floor, and didn't ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/12/whys-it-so-dark-in-here/ They look so cute, you'd have no idea they're ferocious bug-hunters with deadly claws. Oh, and totally antisocial to boot. http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/07/chilled-felines/ So, I sold my car Friday. And I really missed it on ... well, no. Wait, I really needed it on ... oh, no, I didn't. Hmm. Actually, so far, I can't really think of a point where I've been like, "Man, I really want a ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/07/i-pay-540-per-day-to-go-to-work-you/ I hate writing a really long post and then just not having a clue what happened to it. That's what happened last night. A really long post. Then I thought I hit "post", but it never showed up. It wasn't saved, it just ... wasn't. ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/07/reading-viewing-recommendations/ I have blisters on my feet. That's the big difference between living in Timonium and living in DC: I'm walking a lot more, and my body is noticing. If I keep this shit up, I might start losing weight, too. So Monday was my last day to ... http://malnurturedsnay.net/2008/07/04/happy-fourth-of-july/
