Tonight we will be heading up to Bean Town to spend Thanksgiving with our Boston homies. Here is a picture from last year. My two best friends from high school both live in the Boston area. We are pretty bummed out about the prospect that this is most likely the last time, for a while … Continue reading Viva la turkey day→
I first discovered M.I.A. in one of my mens’ magazines 2 or 3 years ago. Corny, I know. It is actually kind of pathetic, the high percentage of my limited pop culture knowledge that is pulled from those tabloid rags. Eh, it’s better than watching any of the TV shows that cover that kind of … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #4→
Piper has been spoiled lately with all kinds of visits from cousins, aunts uncles and grandparents. Last weekend, Piper grandma Baker came to visit her. Apparently she had been saving up some tricks specifically for this occasion. It was the first time that we had ever seen Piper completely flip herself over onto her stomach. … Continue reading Visit from G-ma Baker→
I haven’t even had a chance to sit down at the computer this weekend. I probably still won’t, until later today. But I couldn’t wait any longer to express my elation about the U of U football victory last night.That is why I’m being forced to post this not-so-great picture of us watching the game … Continue reading 12-0→
Who else thinks that the new Gmail customizable themes are pretty awesome? Am I just easily amused? I thought it was so great when they released this new feature the other day. I, being a fan of street art, went straight for the graffiti wall background. I wanted to see the variations depending on which … Continue reading Love me some Google innovation→
Yesterday afternoon, I was in a conference room before a meeting and there was this huge plume of smoke out in NJ. I took this crappy picture of it with my phone. I read today that it was an overturned tanker. It was pretty crazy how much smoke was coming out of that thing. I … Continue reading Fires and Sunrises→
I’m not really sure why, but for some reason, it is already starting to feel like holiday season. I guess maybe because next week is Thanksgiving. I can definitely tell, though. I feel like the whole pulse of the city becomes slightly modified twice a year. It happens once for vacation season, in late summer, … Continue reading Hooray for the weekend→
For whatever reason, there was a huge Ska scene in SLC during the early 90’s. I mean, 3 out of 4 local bands that regularly played gigs were Ska groups. Some of my favs were Swim Herschel Swim, Stretch Armstrong (from Provo), and Model Citizen (from Logan). After seeing so many local Ska shows, I … Continue reading La Musica Coolica #3→
I often complain to Reagan about having to listen to teeny bopper shows in the morning. She watches them while she works out, while I’m getting ready for work. It is generally either 90210, The Hills, Gossip Girl, or some new show that I already forgot the name of. Good for her that she has … Continue reading The kind of TV show I wouldn’t mind, in the morning→
