The longest drive

At about 9:45 last night I ripped a 300+ yard drive whilst playing
Tiger. I didn't realize that my longest drive of the night was going
to be about 15 miles longer... A nice fade Boston...

Pure Evil, Pedroi-whore and more

Not going down the Cape the past weekend or so has really messed me up... late nights and afternoon relaxing in the back yard are prime blogging times. Ah well, I'll be back soon. I wonder if a 6 week old knows the difference between a stressful week and a relaxing weekend? Hopefully.

One thing that has been keeping my occupied: Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010. AKA the disc of divorce. Meghan claims that the character I created looks more like Obama than it does me... which is kind of weird. But I do have to agree, it looks NOTHING like me. The Wii is not exceptionally great at making a good me. But the game itself is really fun.
This however is not fun. It is pure hell. And yes, I want to go on vacation there to give it a shot. (Just let the pics scroll for a few seconds. Now THAT is a golf course.)

I made this tonight. It was good, but I'm pretty sure I managed to burn the garlic. Or at least brown it a little too much. As Meghan noted, that was two home-made dinners in a row that I made. And I'm pretty sure my heart would have been better off with this.

Random note, but I'm pretty sure no one has made more money selling themselves since Pretty Woman. Radio, TV, whatever, all I hear is Dustin Pedroia hawking, well, everything. MLB Baseball on the Playstation. Dunkin Donuts. Sullivan Tire. Salem Five Bank. SALEM FIVE BANK? Dustin, I'm pretty sure after the liberties she let you take with her, you owe your MVP trophy a call the next morning.

New link (at least from me) - textsfromlastnight.com. Completely wrong. Don't show your mother or your local clergy person. Keep those rules in mind and enjoy. And yes, I know its been around for a good 5 months, don't blame me for being late to the party. I've still managed to introduce a couple of people to it, so I wasn't the LAST to know about it.

Of course, I'm pretty sure I was the last person to know about Colbert in Iraq... THAT was hilarious. And the guest editorship of Newsweek was well worth a years subscription alone. Check it out on Hulu if you didn't see it last week.

We're counting down at this point people, I don't know what number to start at, but 0:00 is approaching soon. Expect fewer posts before more posts... and by more, I do mean bleary eyed 3 am rants.

Not So Liberal Cat Blogging Pt. 2

I tried to get some action shots out of kitty... unfortunately "nap" and "more nap" are the only types of action he really cares for...

DSLR Pt. 2

I couldn't help myself when it came to the "continuous shoot" function...

Meghan's new camera officially kicks ass. If we usual equation, this is my longest post, at about 5,019 words...





Not So Liberal Cat Blogging

First in not-quite-a-series of cat related posts:
From last weekend's party in Rockport, this was officially the freakiest. cat. ever.

That Time of Year

Well, this is the point where I usually bang out about 8 posts and then forget about my blog for another 6 months... yep, its Memorial Day Weekend. And though I have 5 relaxing days this year (a 25% increase over last year), I'm just rolling around to the first post a day and a half in.
So what gives, you may ask?
Well, maybe its just too damn relaxing. Meghan is chilling in the hammock; we did lunch with Senor Bill down in Hyannis, and yesterday was spent getting a few things done (painting a bookshelf, visiting the midwife, ect).much
Or maybe I'm just lazy. I figure that's what most of you will assume anyway, so...

Sadly, my greatest desire right now is to play some boule. I don't know why. But its pretty much all I want to accomplish this weekend. Sadly, I have a few things working against me. My boule partner is 8 months pregnant, which means the idea of throwing a hefty stone about the yard immediately puts her to sleep (similar to many, if not all other activities). Also, I don't actually own a boule set. I understand that there's one across the street at my disposal, and I can easily procure one at many local stores... but that's a lot of effort, especially from the comfort of my chair here in the back yard. So if you are out there reading this over the long weekend, and you are up for some boule, come own down. I'll even spot you two points if you bring your own boule set.

If you aren't interested in the long drive down, well, I guess I have a little more for ya'... I've been hitting up a couple of websites recently. Interfacelift.com has some great wallpapers, which may seem inconsequential to you, as you can find wallpapers anywhere these days, but I've been using the site specifically for their fantastic images that are preformated for dual screens (for work) and also for the iphone. I found the site through another site, lifehacker.com. I haven't poked around lifehacker too much yet, but its already lead me to sites for wallpapers and given me a basic DSLR tutorial... fairly useful that.

Well, that's about all the randomness I can cram into a single post right now. Watch out for (potentially) more this weekend. And, as always, if you can't be good, be safe.
