It has been a while

I don't even know why I am posting. I am sure that most of my faithful readers have deserted this blog. It is all my fault though. There hasn't been any new content in quite some time.

If someone out there happens to be reading this I suggest you check out this Video Blog my cubemate pointed out to me -> Rocket Boom

It is actually quite entertaining. Warning - There is semi-technology related content therefore some may find no interest in it whatsoever.

For our fellow Bostonians, I must recommend Tasca. It is a delish spanish tapas restaurant near our house. Last night we saw Flamenco Dancers there. They were very good, but not this good:

I have been informed that we have a Blog to Capture the Beauty of our wedding.

Wedding Blog

CT: Come for the Weddings-Stay For the Crotchless Panties

2005-06-13T22:08:00.000-05:00

Well first off, let me congratulate the newly weds Brian and Jen.

They pulled off a terrific wedding that had it all. A beautiful church, a magnificent winery for the reception, terrific caterers, Brian the Bartender and of course ..... Crotchless Panties.

The day started off pretty harmless. A lunch at the famous Mystic Irish Pub but keep in mind they are only able to pour 2 beers from the tap every thirty minutes and their menu fits on a post-it note. Needless to say we headed off to a Guiness pouring establishment.

After a quick change at the hotel it was off to watch a beautiful wedding at a quaint little church. After some pictures on the staircase it was off to the Party!

The Jonathan Edwards winery was a terrific host serving delicous Chardonnay (my drink of choice for most of the evening) and a nice Merlot. The setting was perfect and the empinadas were even better.

The party was great up until dinner was served. From what I can tell by the photos it only got better!

Both fortunately and unfortunately some of the events of this past saturday night have been captured on film.. err digital media. All photos are posted as is with no airbrushing at all. Against my better judgement all of the "jems" have been posted.

I'll let the pictures do the talking.

2005-05-20T15:16:00.000-05:00

Hey all.

Is there anyone out there who still checks this blog? Let me know and I'll post more. But I figured that everyone should be made aware of this years feature event at the Carpal Tunnel Olympics

Well Alan, I hope you are basquing in the glory of being a Champion. We will have to set a date sometime in the near future to go to the sunset for the award ceremony. Lucky for me, the organzier also receives a yard of beer. Thats how they pay me.

If I am picturing it correctly this years winner will be ejoying his prize in a fashion similar to Roger Maloney, Our 1973 champion:

Poker In The Rear

2005-04-04T18:38:00.000-05:00

Below is a trip report from my experience at foxwoods last friday. It has been written in poker language but is still readable.

Here are a few key definitions for the layman:

blinds - forced bets that are raised as the tournament progresses.

Satellite - cheaper poker tournament that offers entries into bigger ones as prizes.

ACT 1 and 2 - Acts 1 and 2 are one table tournies of 10 people. In an Act1 the top 3 places win an entry into an ACT2. In an ACT2 top 3 places win an entry into an ACT3.

ACT3 - multiple table tournament where the top places pay out entries into the NEPC (New England Poker Classic) Main Event ($5200 entry fee) next weekend.

Okay now that we covered the basics. On to the report.
------------
I got to the woods at about 8:30 on friday morning. Played a bunch of limit (2-4.. 4-8)texas holdem but eventually got bored and walked away up about 30 bucks.

Went downstairs to the sunset ballroom at about 2ish. The atmosphere is cool down there. Tons of satellites going on. I just missed an ACT 1 so I had to wait about 30 minutes to get into one.

Only cost me 60 bucks for the ACT 1. Cruised through the ACT 1 into the ACT2 with minimal difficulty. ACT 2 Was a different story. We only had about an hour to get it in before the ACT 3 started so we were playing with 5 minute blinds. It basically turned into a crap shoot. I was running kinda low so I went all in on the button with 4,4 and got called by BB with JJ. caught a Runner Runner (last 2 cards that fell were the exact ones I needed to win) straight to keep me in it. Eventually here were 4 of us left and the blinds were killing me. With no decent hands I was just trying to survive. I became lowstack. I was ready to go home. When some guy went all in with like K, 7. Lucky for me the lady to my right picked up A,Q suited and was nice enough to call and take him out. So basically she was the reason I made it into the ACT 3. The 2 ended at about 5:27 giving me 3 minutes to smoke a cigarette and call home to let the fiancee and the dog know I would be home late tonight.

So the ACT 3 was pretty much a blur until the final table. Except one hand I picked up AA in the small blind and made a pot sized raise. Got 4 callers. Flop came something like KJ9 with 2 hearts. I made a raise and all folded except for the last guy who went all in. I was pretty worried that he might of hit a straight and/or had a 4 flush but i figured that I should take the chance and called. After I called he said he was scared and I was feeling pretty good. He turned over KQ, no hearts and I breathed a sigh of relief. Pretty much tripled up and was in good position. With some good cards and lots of folding I made it to the final table.

The final table was starting to get hectic as the blinds were becoming vital to staying alive. I went cold and didn't really play a hand for a long time. I started the final table in about second position but then started to become close to the low stack. Tried to make a couple of steals on the blinds but for the most part they went horribly wrong. There was this one time when I was on the button and the blinds were 1500, 3000. I decided to make it 6000 with 3,4 of clubs. Both blinds had lower stacks then I but not by much. Small folded immediately but big took a long time to think about it. Finally he said "I came to far" and folded. He showed something like 10,J. Big hand for me because I was able to get another free set of blinds. I made a bunch of folds that I think were good. When it was down to five I was picking up marginal hand but the guy to my right was raising me constantly. Thankfully he was on my right so I didn't have money invested when he was doing this except when in the blinds (which wasn't that good).

It was down to 5 with the top 4 paying seats into the $5000 NEPC final next week. FINALLY with my last 4500 left (blinds were at 2000/4000 with 500 ante) I picked up 9,9 on the button and went all in. Small folded and big called with like 10,5 and I almost tripled up.

Very next hand the same guy went all in because he was now in the low. Big stacks called and he was out. I turned 60 dollars into a 5000+200 dollar entry for next saturday in about 9 hours. I know this might not be a big deal for alot of you but for me this was some of the best poker I think I have played. Winning the entry alone was a big success for me.

Wish Me Luck!

I will try to make a somewhat useful post.

Hi All,

I am writing this blog post for a very important reason. To bring you
a very serious public notice.

It's that time of the year again. And I don't mean the time when you begin to show signs of a mental breakown and every morning you step outside your door, raising your fists to the Gods screaming "Please, Enough with the freaking Snow already!"

ITS BRACKET TIME BABY!!!!

Is that Sleek Cinderella Sixteen Seed Simmering (Alliteration BABY!!) and gonna make you cry on thursday? Or is it going to be the Sleeper Seven Seed that you never expected would make it out of War-Chest-Our (Worcester) thats gonna seal your fate. Is your Bracket gonna be reduced to rubbish by Saturday or are you gonna stay up late with the Men (and Women, no sexism here) and drink 40 year old scotch till your anus burns? You could be gritting your teeth and clenching your cheeks hoping that dorky white guy makes the prayer of a buzzer beater!

Sound Like fun?

Join the Early Worm NCAA Tournement Challenge at ESPN.com to find out if you could be headed for Bracket Stardom or thrown down into the Firey Pits of Hell.

We have been lucky enough to find a sponsor this year. Me! I am offering a yard of the winner's beer of choice at the Sunset Grill free of charge. (**Note: you must not be some creepy stranger that I do not know to claim the prize) Feel free to send this announcement to friends and family.

They are back. J.C. told us that we were just "The Most Gracious Landlords" they have ever had. His words not mine. Damn that mouse and his smooth talking friends!

The weird thing is that I am glad they are back. Besides their occasional pellets spattered about the house they are pretty nice to have around. Theres nothing like waking up to a hollow loaf of bread or being lulled to sleep by the sweet sound of mice having a party in your oven. Of course that begs the question: Where do they go when we cook? To be honest, I don't really want to know. But they are cute little creatures that are stuck out in the cold harsh March weather. If I can make a small legion of mice happy a couple times a year.

so be it.

Just a quick note. I have heard people complain about the XBox gaming system and the online gaming setup. Some People (I will not mention names) think it is a terrible waste of time. I saw the following and just thought I would share with the naysayers out there:

A Wonderful Story

Now if I could get my Fiancee to play a little more Halo 2. Think of all the wonderful possibilities.

Blog Entries Gone Wild!

2005-01-17T15:37:00.000-05:00

Yes. Thats right this is the blog version of the Oh So Famous video series "Girls Gone Wild!" Hence the clever title above. So thats what you have to look forward to. A blog entry filled with Hilarity, comical drunkardness and the occasional bear breast. You got it, Bear Breasts!! Ok there really won't be any Bear Breasts, I spent hours trying to get the damn bears drunk but boy can they hold their liquor.

On to the hilarity.

On my quest to maintain a fairly interesting blog I am running into a major roadblock. It turns out that I don't really have anything to say, at least anything all that interesting. It is getting to the point where I have to make things up. Synonymously, known as lying! For instance, I never really tried to get any bears drunk. I got to the zoo and chickened out. I threw a can of beer into the cage but they growled, I got scared and ran away screaming like a schoolgirl. So I made my way over to the Atrium where there is now a peacock that has one hell of a hangover.

So do you see my point? I would like to write a long post about my political views and my thoughts on the war on terrorism. But there is enough of that out there so what do I do? I write a post about my rodent problems. Unfortunately, ever since we decided to actually clean our house the vermin are taking a much more civil approach to co-existing with us. Leaving me with not much to say.

I am sure our rodent problems will kick up soon but until then check out this link - Exploding Dog - it has these pictures this guy named Sam Brown does. I think they are cool.

The Rodents are getting Hostel

2005-01-07T10:46:00.000-05:00

Let me start by wishing all of my fans a very happy new year. This blog has exploded into a worldwide phenomenon. I constantly have reporters and fans emailing me. They are looking for interviews and public appearances. I have declined all requests but hinted at a possible surprise appearance at a Respected Beer Swilling Establishment in the near future.

Anyway, on to more important matters. So over the past couple of months it has become obvious that we have been providing a public service to a large majority of the mice in Boston. See, Megan and I have started a non-profit organization called "Rooms For Rodents", a small startup hostel that provides a free place to local mice and those traveling abroad.

It all started with the sporatic appearance of our furry friends followed by the occasional spotting of small brown pellets around the apartment. Not a big deal, a small inconvience at worst. Then things began to get a little more regular. We knew things were getting bad when we found a bag of dog food with 2 baby mice happily living there or when we would buy a fresh loaf of bread only to have it hollowed out a couple of hours later (who needs all those extra carbs anyway, its the crust that counts.)

Things were crazy when we started getting calls from Rodent travel agents and copies of the book "Who Moved My Cheese" started appearing all over the house. Its gotten to the point where a Gertrude Sized (see my profile picture) rodent appears to have burrowed into one of our house plants where it has taken up permanent residency. How do you know this residency is permanent you ask? When we started getting mail for one "Juan Carlos the Rat" we knew something had to change.

We are now scared. Last night we holed ourselves up in the bedroom. We could hear J.C. (Juan Carlos) mulling around in the kitchen. We ordered out last night for dinner and J.C. decided to treat himself to the leftovers. We don't know what to do. The door is currently barricaded and we are waiting for help.

Wish us luck. I'll keep you posted.

Captains Log:

The Year is 2004, the month is December. I arrived at the office today and much to my dismay it is like a ghost town. I could only make one logical assumption as to where everyone went. There must have been a nuclear explosion that killed almost everyone. There are a few left but they are grossly disfigured. Its a wasteland.

With no sign of human life I am forced to fend for myself. The food selection here today is anything but edible. I believe the menu for The Eve of Christmas eve was as follows:

Egg Nog Pizza
Egg Nog Burgers
Egg Nog Soup
Egg Nog Surprise

The only beverage on tap, you guessed it, Egg Nog!

Since I am pretty lonely today at work I will provide you with of a list of activities that I have planned for the day. I thought I would get a little crazy:

Count the number of paper clips in my drawer.
Throw a crumpled piece of paper off of the white board, bouncing it back to my head then bicycle kicking the paper into the Recycle bucket. (Remember Mother Earth is our friend)
Trying to take a 30 minute nap under my cube mates desk.
Attaching 50 straws together so that I can put my coffee in someone elses cube and drink it at my desk.
Tell One Funny Engineering joke today.
Eat 6 packets of ketchup. (licopene Baby!)
Write a blog entry.
Write a Haiku

So Here Goes (keep in mind I have java on the brain, final was last night):

ThingsToDo ttd = new ThingsToDo( );

ttd.engJoke = new EngineeringJoke("

They were leading a priest, a drunkard and an engineer to the guillotine. They asked the priest if he wanted to face up or down when he met his fate. The priest said that he would like to face up so he would be looking towards heaven when he died. They raised the blade of the guillotine, released it, it came speeding down and suddenly stopped just inches from his neck. The authorities took this as divine intervention and released the priest.
Next the drunkard came to the guillotine. He also decided to die face up hoping that he would be as fortunate as the priest. They raised the blade of the guillotine, released it, it came speeding down and suddenly stopped just inches from his neck. So they released the drunkard as well.
The engineer was next. He too decided to die facing up. They slowly raised the blade of the guillotine, when suddenly the engineer said, "Hey, I see what your problem is." );

2004-12-09T17:38:00.000-05:00

So I was perusing good old Craig's List today. I really enjoy the site since you can find anything from an apartment to a spouse on any given day.

This fine morning I found the following gem in the FREE section:

High class item here: A genuine Hooters Lunchbox, complete with images of two (2) partially scantilly clad "Hooters Girls" on either side. Ifthat isn't enough, the short side of this high class lunch box is emblazoned with such hilarious 'bon mots' as "Gravity is not just a good idea, it's THE LAW". Profound. Arousing. Holds your lunch. This box has it all. Some important caveats:
1>No Thermos included. I don't want to talk about it, and you don't want to know.
2>Hinge is broken.
3>Includes collection of dust, top side only.

Try to contain yourselves. Yours for FREE, as long as we don't have to look each other in the eye.

Kudos to the individual who posted this. You made my day :)

I'm Back

2004-12-07T15:48:00.000-05:00

I really wasn't gone. Just unable to post. It's been a rough 2 weeks for my family. My Sister Katie who was 23 years old passed away on November 24th 2004. Thats right 2 days after my birthday and the day before thanksgiving. Fall has just gotten infinitely more depressing. I'll miss her immensely and unfortunately it took her death to make me realize that.

Sister where are you?
I hope you know, I love you
Should have told you more

I will write more on this subject, just not now.

I apparently am about the 667,001 th person to use this studid blog title. Feel for me.

Whatever, I am over it. Back to the most important of matters. So I was too consumed with my Birthday Self yesterday to alert the masses, I mean the 3 or 4 of you that actually check my blog and didn't go to the sunset with me on saturday to the wonderful news. The Sunset has invented yet another ingenious way to serve me beer and more importantly get me drunk. And boy did they succeed.

X-Box + Halo2 = WOO HOO!!!!!!!

Nothing to see here.....

2004-11-15T13:09:00.000-05:00

No really, there is nothing to see. I don't really have anything to say. Its monday and mondays suck. I kinda feel bad for Monday. Its not like Monday had any choice when the work week would start. Some big wig manager was just like "From Now On Until the end of time Monday will be the first day of the work week!" Someone once told me that Sunday was going to be the first day of the work week. Why shouldn't it be? It is the first day of the regular week. Well I guess someone did a Six Sigma project and decided that Monday is a more efficient day to start the work week because lots of People spend Sundays thinking about Church and Football and stuff. And thats not productive.

So there you go!

For all of you that care. I am finally starting to recover from my illness.
I woke up this morning feeling the best I have all week. Just in time for the weekend.

Last night on the way home from class I wrote a bunch of Haikus. I really don't have the attention span for much more than 17 syllables. Here is a small sample, enjoy:

he is able to medicate himself into a pseudo coma so that he can
get through the day.

Some people say that he should be at home resting but the way
I see it there isn't a better place to be sick than work. Nobody
wants to waste their vacation time and/or weekends being sick.

Friday night I was lucky enough to enjoy a fine meal at the Famous Omni Parker House Hotel

Why is the Parker House Restaurant famous you ask?

1. Parker House Rolls - oddly enough they resemble the rolls server at KFC. These were warm though. I must admit, they were delish! Rumor has it that Charles Dickens would spend months at a time at the Parker House and would partake in dozens of rolls a day.

2. Parker House Boston Scrod - Good but Fishy.

3. Boston Creme Pie - The Parker House is apparently the birthplace of the Creme Pie. Or at at least they added the noun "Boston" in front of its name and claimed it as their own. Mr Dunkin of the Donuts Family was the mastermind who ported the creme to the Donut.
