Disaster!

Friday, August 26th, 2011

 No, I’m not talking about the rare east coast earthquake, which I experienced while laying in bed surfing the internet. Nor am I talking about the coming Hurricane Irene, which has the city in panic. My 3L year begins on Monday (maybe). Assuming the subways are working on Monday, it will be my last first [...]

This was somewhat expected

Monday, July 19th, 2010

This is how I learn family news now, apparently. Anyway, that’s my baby sister getting engaged. That means the balance has officially tipped and we’re about to about to reach the first time where a majority of my siblings are married. I’m very happy for her and I actually met this guy a few years [...]

R.I.P. Aunt Julie

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

I’ve mentioned before that my aunt has been battling terminal breast cancer. She passed away early this morning. Julie used to babysit me and my sisters when we were kids, lived with my family in the last years of her life, and was always part of my most important family memories. Julie didn’t have an [...]

12 for 12

Friday, February 12th, 2010

12th of the month. 12 photos. It’s an easy concept. The hard part is remembering to do it. 1. Test driving my new Motorola Droid today. Technically, this photo was taken on the 11th, but I’m sure you’ll forgive me. 2. Today is an interview day, so I got to put on my pretty suit. [...]

So What? [feat. Callie Jo]

Friday, January 8th, 2010

Now that I’m back in New York and I’ve spent a day restoring my laptop back to factory settings to correct a malfunction in the USB ports, I was able to pull this video off my camera. On my last night in Utah, Callie and Craig and Owen came by to spend one last night [...]

2010 Resolutions

Friday, January 1st, 2010

Well, those of my family members who stayed awake until midnight brought in the new year with Rock Band on the Wii. Not the most exciting NYE in my life, but not the worst, either. So, my resolutions for twenty-ten: More unpredictability. I like to think that a guy who occasionally throws on a pair [...]

The Holiday Haul

Saturday, December 26th, 2009

Yeah, I got some presents at Xmas, but can anything compare to a lap full of nephews? I also got a bunch of clothes and a few gift certificates. One of the gift certificates is to a movie theatre chain with lots of outlets in Utah, but the nearest theater to Manhattan is about 5 [...]

Family Visit

Thursday, December 24th, 2009

My family is in the news again. This time no one has committed felony tax evasion or fraud and it has nothing to do with me doing something gay. My aunt Julie decided to spend what will probably be her last Christmas spreading some joy to her friends. Last wish: Spread Christmas cheer By Lana [...]

They Grow Up So Fast

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

My littlest baby brother turned 18 today. *sniff* Now he can be drafted and prosecuted as an adult. And there are lots of family birthdays I don’t mention on this blog (like yesterday, which was my sister Jacki’s birthday and my niece Alexia’s), I draw attention to Jared’s birthday not (just) because it’s a special [...]
