Life, code, and everything from Brian Arnold

  1. Don’t know what to say

    I’m in There, talking to Carlos – just wanted to post before the day was over, so I can keep my streak going. More tomorrow.

  2. Goin’ Dancin’ (or not)

    Today was a good day – I spent half of the day hanging out with my mom. We ate lunch at Johnny Carino’s, where I had a lovely italian sausage sandwich, and we just hung out and talked and ate and talked some more. It was good.
    I went and picked up Lisa after that, and [...]

  3. Happy Thanksgiving!

    Today was spent with a slow start, watching the Macy’s Day parade on NBC in hopes of catching my friend Alex on the TV. He was a part of the Santa band at the end, as his college was the one selected for it. We got out of the house at around 12:30PM or so.
    We [...]

  4. Early payday good, book translation bad

    I got paid early – probably due to the impending holiday. That’s a wonderful thing. I’m quite happy.
    Anyways, Lisa and I went to a nice dinner tonight, then we went and caught Timeline in the theaters. If you enjoyed the book (as I did, I consider it in my top five), you will be sorely [...]

  5. And we are confirmed

    Lisa and I now officially have our reservations for our trip to California on the 12th of December. My company’s Christmas party is out in Irvine, CA, and we’re being flown out. We will get all expenses paid, but only after the fact – reimbursement is good, but kind of frustrating that it’s not all [...]

  6. Opus returns to the funnies

    Some of you who know me may know that I’m a big fan of the old Bloom County comic series that ran from 1980 to 1988, as well as its successor, Outland, which ran from 1988 to 1995 (sad year for comics, 1995 – three big ones ended). I have a few of the Bloom [...]

  7. Sleepytime

    Today was basically a sick day, Lisa and I were home most all of the day trying to beat out a cold. More later.

  8. No title for lack of creativity

    Today has been a relatively slow day so far. Lisa and I slept in much later than we have been as of late, and we both say that we got up earlier but stayed in bed. Lisa needed the rest, so I’m glad she got it.
    I’ve got a study group to attend in like an [...]

  9. Stolen Cuteness

    Well, Lisa posted it first, but I can’t help but repost it – the cuteness is overwhelming.

  11. Interesting Utility

    PMS Alert – Download.com
    I’m not going to say anything about this one.

  12. Craziness

    Quick post tonight – Authorities await Jackson’s surrender.
    Michael Jackson is actually being charged with multiple counts of child molestation now – I really hope it’s all a big mistake. I liked the guy’s music back in the 80s and 90s, and I’m still a fan of it today. He’s been a weird guy, but even [...]

  13. A new car!

    Whenever I read that, I can hear good ol’ Rod Roddy’s voice saying it, followed by the Price is Right music. Sad that he’s gone.
    It’s not really a new car – I picked up a 1992 Toyota Tercel for a really good price. It just needs a battery swap, and my neighbor is coming over [...]

  14. I’m a loser, baby…

    Well, at least that’s what my video game says. Nasser came over tonight and we played Final Fantasy Tactics Advance on our game boys for a few hours, and since I lost the last competitive mission, my clan got flagged as a loser. Even though I lost that one, we had a lot of fun. [...]

  15. Reese’s Inside-Out

    Apparently, the people who make Reese’s candies (y’know, the peanut butter things) have a set of special release products this year, and one of them is a Reese’s Inside Out cup. The outside is a peanut butter candy coating over a chocolate interior. They taste like a normal Reese’s, but it’s a trip to see [...]

  16. Off to Laff’s we go

    Today has been an interesting day. Lisa had to get up kind of early so that she could get to this baby shower at 11:00AM, but I didn’t have to be anywhere so I got to sleep in a bit. I got up, had a late breakfast, cleaned around the house, and hung out with [...]

  17. Quiet evening

    Lisa is out tonight having a Girls Night Out of sorts with Janelle and some others – they’re at dinner now, and are scheduled to see Runaway Jury at 7:15 I believe.
    So, I’m just sitting at home tonight, having a nice, quiet evening hanging out in There.

  18. It’s like cleaning my mouth with Sunkist

    Natural Citrus Listerine(r)
    Last night, when Lisa picked me up from work, apparently my breath was “offensive”, so we went and picked up some Listerine from good ol’ Wal-Mart. We were just about to run out, so I was happy to stop in and get some. I like Listerine, it leaves me feeling fresh.
    So, we’re walking [...]

  19. Albuquerque, the geode

    Interesting quip about Albuquerque, my hometown – here’s a link to the full article, as well as the first two paragraphs, which are quite interesting.
    THE COLLECTOR’S GUIDE: ALBUQUERQUE: A CITY OF SOLITUDES
    Albuquerque is more like a geode than any other major city in America.
    Ugly, if not downright offensive, on the outside, Albuquerque squats on top [...]

  20. Kapow!

    Note: Courtesy of my friend Emily, for sending me a link to http://www.angelfire.com/la2/bitingfae/images/kapow.jpg
    I can’t begin to tell you how much this picture is making me laugh. It’ll probably upset Melanie, but it’s too funny. Good stuff.
