    A Question For You “Interior Design” Gals
    posted on Sep 28 2006

    Wow… so… this is a blog first. But I need some help.

    Ok, so I’m buying picture frames for my bedroom. If you know me you know that I decorate very plain, very simple, but very stylish… in a sense. Clean cut, like this blog. It helps me think clearer if there is little clutter.

    Albert Einstein once said:

      “Simplicity means the achievement of maximum effect with minimum means.”

    I want it to match the interior of my bedroom. The walls are white, the floors are hardwood. My bedroom set is wood (duh) and on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being that old light brown M&M’s color and 10 being deep, dark, beyond doo-doo brown) my furniture is a 7… maybe 8.

    I want to get frames that are black frame/white matte… but will that work? I really want black frame/white matte.

    I need help from you girls… or guys… the guys who as children were jumping rope when the rest of us were playing football. You chicks who studied Interior Design at MC surely learned this in all those hours you spent in that room in the top of Aven Hall.






    Remember Fifteen?
    posted on Sep 28 2006

    Another flashback from the Nickelodeon stash. Anybody else out there besides me and Karen remember the show Fifteen?

    This high school soap opera was addictive. Looking back at the videos, it was so bad it was good. And should come as no surprise (sorry Ernest) that it was filmed in Vancouver.

    The first video is of the intro to the show. The second is a full episode. Enjoy the memories through the poor quality YouTube videos.

  • Anybody Seen Jericho?
    posted on Sep 27 2006

    I hadn’t heard anything about this show until it hit the Top 5 downloaded shows on iTunes. So being the lemming I am, I bought it.

    A quick synopsis:

      “Jericho is a drama about what happens when a nuclear mushroom cloud suddenly appears on the horizon, plunging the residents of a small, peaceful Kansas town into chaos, leaving them completely isolated and wondering if they’re the only Americans left alive.”

    The storyline is similar to that of LOST… which is a good thing.

    I like it, I also like her… crap, I just noticed that she’s married in real life. Oh well… he’ll understand.

    Tune in tonight, here’s a promo to help you understand the plot.

  • Google Transit
    posted on Sep 26 2006

    Google finally launched a product it should have launched a while back: Google Transit

    However, after testing it the product seems to still have a few flaws. For example, to get to church via bus I must first walk through someone’s backyard and down the steep part of the hill our house sits upon in order to catch the bus I need.

    It’s nice to have if you’re visiting town where you have to/should take public transportation (ie-NYC, Boston, DC) or if you are lliving in a major metropolitan area and you’re gonna go all crazy and venture into unknown territory.

    It’s a good product, but not a great one.

    Question of the Day: Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter
    posted on Sep 26 2006

    A sunset in Destin is nice in the Summer.
    The first few days of Spring are incredible.
    Cuddling around a fire at Christmastime is incredible.
    However, the football, food, and festivities of the Fall make it hard to beat.

    Question:

      What is your favorite season?
