Hmmm, I don’t feel drunk

A few days ago, I watched my favorite movie, Memento, again. I’m not sure why it resonates with me, and no, I’m not fixated on revenge. Perhaps it’s something about how memory affects how you see things, and how you can choose to see the world; not that everyone sees the same thing.

Made it on the plane

Almost missed my flight. Found out you can cut in the security line if you’re running really late and ask nicely. Thanks pre-TSA guy!

Ancestry

There’s a town in France with a name similar to my surname. Apparently it’s completely unrelated, and mine is an Irish name.

37.5% Irish
25% Russian
12.5% German
12.5% Polish
6.25% Lithuanian
6.25% British

How much of a nationality do you have to be to make jokes about it (a la Seinfeld’s ‘converting for the jokes’)? I don’t know any Lithuanian jokes, but there’s got to be something good there. Not sure if 6.25% is enough.

More Fort Lauderdale Photos

Took a few more photos of the hotel. Starting to want a fancy DSLR…

Sheenburger

I get all my celebrity gossip from hamburger restaurant menus


Baltimore’s Harboreast

Making chili

It’s looking like there will be a good meals/effort ratio.

Rush hour at South Station…

… makes me miss having a safe-for-the-highway car.



Black Friday, 2010

Melody and Jess went shopping, and I found a nice spot in the Borders perfect for writing verilog. I was also well positioned just in case Apple spontaneously had a clearance sale…
