Productive
I got a much needed haircut this morning with a new barber at the barber shop I frequent. He took his time and did a great job. Sometimes I feel like they are just trying to get me in-and-out and on to the next person, but not with Matt today.
I stop by my parents’ house afterwards, and they were in the midst of taking down Christmas decorations. I helped de-ornament their two trees and...

Cutting the Cord
I am contemplating getting rid of my cable TV service. Time Warner raised their rates again, and I am starting to feel that it really isn’t worth it. I cannot justify spending as much as I am for the limited number of channels I actually watch.
I wrote down the shows/movies I watched this past week, and discovered I stick to only a couple of channels for 95% of my time in front of the...

Rattling the Cage
I may have gotten a few people upset at me today at work, but such is the life. A major project going live in two weeks is hinging on a second project on which I am the lead. My portion of project two has reached the point where I can no longer move forward without another person finishing up their tasks. After talking with them this morning, I felt no sense of urgency from them to finish their...

Didn't See That One Coming ;)

Zappos
Why does Zappos even offer expedited shipping? I have ordered items from them at least 8 or 9 times and my shipping has...

Enjoying a Lazy Day
Four straight days of fun has finely caught up with me. Thank goodness I have today t catch up on sleep and just be lazy around the apartment.
Things started Wednesday with the Lake Erie Crushers game. Even thought they were no hit by the Joliet Slammers, I still had a good time. The buffet before the game was really good, and competing against my brother in the bungee tug-of-war on the field...
A letter to Mr. Clean
Dear Mr. Clean,
I don’t know what you Magic Eraser is made of, but it will clean up just about anything I use it on. It truly is magic when nothing else will clean up a mark or mess, but a quick scrub with the Eraser does the trick.
Thank you,
Brian

Clean & Shiny
I stopped by my parent’s house after work today to clean my car. I park on the street at my apartment, and I don’t have easy access to electricity or water, so washing the car at my place would be a challenge. I gave the inside a much needed overhaul before giving the outside a thorough scrubbing. My wheels could use a little more attention, but they are difficult to clean while...
Cool It Down
I’m usually not one to use the air conditioner at home unless it is ungodly hot or the humidity is makes just sitting around feel miserable. In the year and a half that I have been in my apartment, I think I have maybe used the AC four times. It is kind of loud and right above the TV which makes catching up on shows and watching the baseball game (Who besides the players and the host city...
