the exotic thai
After a trip to Costco, Mare, my mother and I all enjoyed dinner at Exotic Thai. This is our second time to dine at this restaurant, and it was as good as the first time.
Exotic Thai is located on the corner of Braker and Lamar. I want to say that they haven’t been open for [...]

the sound of typing in the dark
Today, I woke up this morning and it felt like Saturday. It also felt like it was about 11 in the morning, and I was telling myself that I had to meet my mother in a few hours.
Then I realized that it was Friday, and that it was about a quarter ’til 11. I had [...]

the x-men vs. iron man
I’m looking forward to the new Iron Man movie coming out in less than a month. Here’s some art that was discovered at work. Brilliant I say.
I’m keeping this one short and sweet, because it’s my early bedtime. I’m pulling the 9 to 5 tomorrow. I don’t have much to update on, except Mare made [...]

the 3hirty (aka the april post challenge)
Similar to what I did in February, I am challenging myself to do the same for the month of April. Will this be a bimonthly challenge? I don’t know but by the looks of it, quite possibly.
I have another post that I will be writing tonight, and this will be the April kick-off post.
What’s going [...]

the upgrade was successful
Yesterday, WordPress 2.5 was officially released. As you can tell from my previous post, I was skeptical since I experienced a couple issues I had with 2.5-RC1 were minor. I went for the upgrade anyway, and it was successful.
I didn’t do a clean install but went the route of upgrading 2.3.3 to 2.5. I had [...]

the importance of deactivating plugins
WordPress has released the second candidate for Version 2.5.
With the eager anticipation from the WP user community, I boldly went where I haven’t gone before and tried out Version 2.5-RC1. What resulted was days worth of headache after minor pieces of the puzzle broke, and I had no idea how to fix it.
I consider myself [...]

the ‘za of the week (mar 23 - mar 29)
I think we’ve made tonight’s ‘Za of the Week before. This one had pepperoni, pineapple, and red onion on top of sun-dried tomato pesto with mozzarella cheese. The combination makes a pie packed with bold flavor.
I’m trying to utilize more of the photo space when taking the before and after pics.
This after photo was shot [...]

the tangible
Not too much is going on lately. Time just keeps ticking away.
My copy of X-Force #1 with the variant cover came in. I won it off eBay, and it made a journey all the way from Canada. I think I’ve gotten my variant cover fix for the time being, since I’ve managed to score this [...]

the cartoon craze
Last night on the way home, I picked up some cough syrup, Lysol and satin floss at Wally World. Before checking out, I had to stop by the dollar DVDs section of see if I could find more Toon Factory or Cartoon Craze classic animation compilation DVDs. I found six for a total of eight! [...]

the heroes in a half shell
Today has been relaxing and beautiful. I’ve been watching TMNT cartoons all day, and I made a meal out of ice cream. The weather is optimal, and I don’t have much planned but to enjoy my day. I have family obligations later tonight, but that will be done quick and painlessly.
I’m reading TMNT #15 right [...]

the good friday
It’s half past three. I’m still awake. I’m not tired, because I took a nap today. Today was a company holiday. I had the day off today plus I got paid. Company holidays are always a bonus.
I just purchased my Thrice tickets online. I want to say I’ve been watching them live every time they’ve [...]
