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 of wigs [...]

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 hours [...]

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.

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 day [...]

The End Approacheth

Saturday, November 21st, 2009

The end of the semester is almost upon us, so there has been a rapid increase in end-of-the-year parties (before final exams consume our last waking seconds).
I wonder if my contracts professor will remember yelling at me for drunkenly singing and dancing to “Hollaback Girl” at the beer bust event held in the law school [...]

Grandpa Rob

Saturday, September 5th, 2009

Grandma Vivian and Grandpa Rob visiting for Easter in 2005.

Grandpa Rob with Jared after my high school graduation.
My grandfather passed away this morning. September 25, 1925 – September 5, 2009. After a slow and steady battle with cancer, and under the loving care and attention of his children the last few weeks as he started [...]

Yet more baby pics and improving news

Friday, September 4th, 2009

More cuteness (feat. baby smiling or possibly pooping… it’s so hard to tell at that age)

It looks like my endless whining about the financial aid department is coming to an end. The administration took some proactive and heplful steps this morning to speed up the student loan processing/refund system and to provide assistance to those [...]
