Teach or nanny?
Monday, March 12, 2007
There are options this summer. My wife asked if I preferred teaching in the summer, nannying the nephew and niece, or, I don’t know, GAMING AND PAINTING DAY AND NIGHT!
A Night of Romance
Sunday, March 11, 2007
That’s what it’s called, except the words are in Spanish at my wife’s University, and college students have organized the dinner. They serve appetizers, and when dinner is ready we get up from our table and go to the buffet to receive individual portions from tray pans. Mariachi singers perform for us, and I never [...]
The rules of dating
Monday, March 5, 2007
Filipino Club practice ended early, and I was so relieved that I told the kids: Awesome. I can pack up and go on my date. A date? What are you talking about? WHO are you dating? We thought you were married?
Just one more reason to hate the snow
Tuesday, February 13, 2007
I came home today and made an effort to shovel before leaving the house to pick up my wife. The snow wasn’t difficult to lift and toss, since it was all powder and I don’t think I touched any kind of ice with my shovel.
The house is out to get me
Wednesday, February 7, 2007
Yesterday I tried to leave the house to pick my wife up at work. Now the smart thing to do would have been to leave early and have time for unexpected delays, and since I’m a smart man I left earlier than late. I was levelling in *insert video game babble here* and when I [...]
Ear worms must be burned out
Tuesday, February 6, 2007
You understand that, right? When a song is in your ear, and it burrows deep inside then you can’t use a scalpel to extract it. You need fire. The best kind of fire is repetition: burn, listen, sing.
Superbowl homework
Sunday, February 4, 2007
I have the play-by-play website up that shows a representation of the field, the statistics on the current drive as well, the time and scoreboard. It’s a really neat tool, and it allows me to work (or play) while the game is going on. My wife is in the next room watching the Superbowl (ursine [...]
Which cowboy are you?
Saturday, February 3, 2007
My wife and I watched Brokeback Mountain the other day. No, she didn’t twist my arm to watch. No, I wasn’t silently signaling something secret about my relationship with her. The movie won awards and had Anne Hathaway and Linda Cardellini. I don’t think I needed more of a reason to watch it, and those [...]
Five blog ideas today
Wednesday, January 24, 2007
Seriously. Five. I woke up early (translation: wife woke me up early), spent time in ye ole coal mine, shouted like a madman at the children, openly made fun of coworkers who secretly patronized me behind my back (and plotted death plots and other forms of madness), travel to the comic book store and the [...]
