The big monster finally reared it's ugly head in our direction. I guess it was only a matter of time before we'd get spotted and targeted. We're going to be 4 instead of 5 and that really sucks, especially since we're just barely in a position where there was some semblance of coverage.So now we're a hand with one less finger... or a hand without a thumb... or whatever. Regardless, we're going to

It was one of those cheesy plastic apron-like costumes and masks.What was your favorite costume? -Vampire… any of the many years that I chose to be one. It’s a classic.Best Halloween memory as a kid? -Going to the haunted house at an air force base in Panama with my Mom & Dad. I would just about pee myself from

So this week iTunes decided to give away this video from Lykke Li called I'm Good, I'm Gone and I'm digging the music, don't get me wrong. The Swedish people have delivered a healthy medley of awesome ear-candy (Vincent, ABBA and Ace of Base... YES, I said Ace Of Base. Don't scoff until you've listened to the Da Capo CD which never made US release) and it seems like Lykke might be the next artist

So I'm making my regular website rounds and I come upon some yummy goodness regarding two women I love: Helen Mirren & Julie Taymor. Now who doesn't love Helen for her many phenomenal roles? (but moreso, of course, for her portrayal of Morgana in the 1981 'Excalibur')Then there's Julie Taymor: a woman with a vision that I envy (and a list of directorial gems like Titus and Across The Universe)

I ain't gonna lie and I ain't hatin' when I say Brandy seemed pretty much out of the picture. I don't resent her for choosing acting over singing (I do) and I don't wrong her for choosing to judge some crap-ass reality show (Of course I do) and I can't blame her for that car accident that no-doubt affected her personal life and took someone else's (I don't have to; she probably does already.)

So I was talking to one of my ultimate betches today and he was ranting and raving about his new coffee flavors in his "seasonal mail-order coffee extravaganza." Of course my mind lingers off into Starbucks land, how they've convinced me to hand over half of my paycheck for a steady flor of coffee, I'll never know. Anyways, I digress.So I stop by the local 'bucks (my first time doing so since my

So I'm considering ending a 6 year relationship; It's been dead already for about a year now and it's high time I stop carrying the luggage around that comes with it. I'm breaking up with my Doctor.He's been my doctor for awhile and to be honest I can barely recall what he looks like. I think he's pawned me off on his Medical Assistant because I've seen more of him lately than anyone else.

I have nothing but contempt for that old douchebag right now; at this very moment my disdain for her burns with the fury of a thousand suns. That old satchel of twat doesn't know the first thing about developing people. She runs from the first attempt to question her decision and hides behind conference calls or meetings to avoid scrutiny. There's nothing left for me to do but to fly around with

So lately (and by lately I mean about a month or two) I’ve been keeping one CD in my car, jammin’ out to it every morning & evening on the way to & from work. Swedish Pop-meister, Vincent has kept me moving with his catchy, reggae-infused, brassy beat. I have this tendency to wear things out so it’s no surprise that the CD has been in my car for a few months... the oddity here is that I’m taking

Dennis Leary said it best when he marched across a stage and chanted "NyQuil, NyQuil, NyQuil, we love you! You giant fucking Q!" After three days worth of damned restlessness, nausea & all around loopiness from the lack of enough sleep, I finally knocked myself out and managed to get some decent rest. My head hit the pillow at 10pm and I was out of it until 6am today. Cue the happy dance.

This week needs to start looking better quick. With minimal sleep over the last two days and a budding barrage of coughs, I'm starting to get very exhausted very quick. I'm finally home after too long of a day and I'm going to hit the sack. Hopefully tonight won't be another eight hours of restless, vigilant rolling around.

I admit that I wasn’t expecting much of a celebration because most companies ignore anniversaries that aren’t a milestone (5, 10, 15 and so on.) I guess that’s why the recognition I got came as such a surprise; I was presented with a company-wide award times closely to my anniversary. The recognition was due to my recent "above & beyond" efforts, which included 6 weeks in Virginia updating the

The new B-52's CD came out yesterday and I found out this morning. Yay! What little I've heard of "Pump" and "Juliet Of The Spirits" sounds really good. I can't wait to get home and listen to the rest of it!!!

The neighborhood is a little smaller today since the folks living in the house in front of mine moved out. It all seemed very sudden; 5 days ago I see a garage sale sign and 3 days later I see a moving truck. Of course, the local rumor mill on the block is already leaking stories of legal problems and law enforcement evasion as motivators for the quick getaway. I don't care to learn the details

Yesterday was a V kind of day. That's one of those days that starts out on a high note, drops drastically midway and then redeems it'self before your head hits the pillow. (Up, down and then up again... V. See?) It started off fine enough; plenty of sleep from the night before left me refreshed and ready. A double shot of Butter Toffee Coffee (a treat I can only get here at the corporate office)

The scariest day of the year started out at about 4:00am for me. Two hours into it, I was walking across the parking lot from my hotel room to the corporate office building. I’m in VA for a month, teaching a cluster of Spanish-speakers how to use new systems… with a classroom full of Latin folk you think everyday would be scary but it’s far from it.

Tennessee might still be in the way but it's quite a few miles in the right direction.3) It's not here.Cons:1) It's Mississippi.2) It's still a Red State.3) It's completely out of the question if it's just a lateral move.

Here's a handful of facts about her that make her so special to me:1) I could never make empanadas as well as she does. Her recipe, though already handed down to me, doesn't ever seem to 'translate' well unless she's the one doing the cooking.2) She pronounces "beach" as "bitch" and "sheets" as "shits" thanks to her latin accent.3) People that meet her for the first time, more often than not,

I'm surfing through channels and I hit the low four-hundreds when all of a sudden I start to trip out. There's a sudden feeling of disorientation followed by a myriad of vivid colors, loud noises and giddy laughter. It's quickly interrupted when a wave of confusion washes over me; My breath gets caught in my chest and I'm suddenly anxious be normal again. I start to twitch nervously and I squeeze

Recent reseach indicates that fully bilingual people, those speaking both languages fluently almost everyday, have a higher chance of preventing dementia than their monolingual counterparts.

The paparazzi that were on her trail get out of there cars and walk her through the complex task of putting the car in neutral and then push her towards safer streets.

So the insanity is over and all that's left are open boxes, waiting to be filled with re-packaged ornaments and rolled up light strands. The wrapping paper shrapnel has been disposed of and the credit card bills are knocking at my door. Christmas, and the New Year celebration, finally comes to a close. It's obvious that blogging wasn't in my schedule the last few days so let me catch you up on

So I just watched the season finale of Nip/Tuck. I missed it when it aired the first time but my pal, TiVO, recorded it for me and I managed to zoom through it. Blah. I wasn't impressed with this season at all and the finale did nothing to change my opinion. The last 10 minutes or so were great... the first time I saw it. I think it was called "Magnolia" and I paid 7 bucks to watch it at the

I was reading the news yesterday and learned about the loss of a comedic gem. Peter Boyle died on Tuesday due to heart complications at the age of 71. The news set a somber mood for the rest of my day and I wanted to take a few moments to let it out in this post. His multi-faceted portrayal in the X-Files' Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose was one of the rare episodes that defined good storytelling.

I'm going to head home as soon as I finish a few laps in the pool and wait for all of the ghosts & goblins to knock on my door for some treats. Maybe, if I'm lucky, the great pumpkin will show up. Until then, I'll strike up a pot of coffee and try to recreate a Pumpking Spice Latté like the one I get from Starbucks.

So I'm a Prince Fan. That's nothing new really. I also throughly enjoy punning on those that I love. That's nothin new either. So what do I say when I hear about a parody of the purple prince? I say PLAY THAT SUCKAH! The dancer in this parody video scares me; I think there was a woman at my church in Panama that looked just like her... Scary.

The first branch, of which I belong to, is responsible for delivering the training material, measuring the progress of each student and providing feedback to the developers so that the material is current to the business.

So day two at home was hardly the restful day I had hoped for. 6am found me in the emergency room; This time it was for my Mom instead of me. She told me she was feeling dizzy and had high fever, the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back was having a significantly high blood pressure. She has a regular history of hypertension and blood pressure issues so we headed to the ER.4 hours later

Alright, It's Sunday. Many of us have returned from our respective house of worship and some of us are still feeling a little empty. I don't blame you! Some denominations offer crackers and grape juice, other denominations kick it up a notch and offer communion wafers and wine. Of course, regardless of the medium, these are symbolic for something much more important. Allow me the opportunity, if

So I'm finally in Florida. When I left to Virginia, I was quite torn because there were personal reasons why I should have stayed back. Instead, I decided to address the business needs before my own and simply wait it out until my trip was done. As my previous entry hints, I was ready to drop in, do my thing and launch back home as soon as possible. But something strange happened while I was

It's all packed up, I'm ready to go. Tomorrow morning I'll be flying up to Virginia for over two weeks of work. The Spanish speakers at our corporate office are required to go through a soft-skills training course and I'm just the hombre to do it. I've spent the last few days diligently translating all of the material so that it's properly tailored to my special audience and quite honestly:¡Estoy

Happy New YearOne more year under our collective belts, with quite a bit to show for it. As it should be, now we need to move on from our festivities. Now is a time for hangovers, finding your way back home, and figuring out how to weasel out of your resolutions. My resolution this year?Stop blacking out

So things were go, go, going during Christmas week. I celebrated Christmas a little early with my friends. We all gathered at Georgiffer's house (Jen and George are the most recent addition to my handful of important peeps) and enjoyed a very nice dinner. I gave my first attempt at Deviled Eggs and according to Phred, they were pretty awesome; That's saying alot considering that Phred's the only

I know that, in previous entries, I've mentioned how amazingly inept some of my students have proven to be. Far be it from me to present a bad picture of the breed of employees that my company hires. For every gene-pool reject that walks in (...and right out, if I have anything to do with it.) theres a handful of friendly, efficient and determined employees that contribute positively to our

Enjoy the easiest holiday decorating you'll ever experience, aside from delegating it to someone else:CHRISTMAS LIGHTSWant it even easier, you big Yule Log? Have someone else click on the buttons for you...

OK, so in the most recent amount of days there has been a tons of birthday celebrations. I want to take the opprortunity to recognize each of my pals:Heathen recently celebrated her Birthday and, in addition to that, managed to get a very loud, very messy but very cute present. She gave birth to Gabriel Matthias Wright. My best wishes to Gabriel for his very first special day and to Heathen for

My work-week now officially consist of two Mondays. In retrospect, I look back at my day and I realize that the first mistake I made today was waking up:On my way to work, only several blocks away, my radiator spews forth it's fetid, steamy announcement. I think I actually heard "Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucked" as it hissed at me. That was my second hint that I should call it a day early.I get to work and
