The thing I have been looking forward to more than anything in recent memory. NASCAR race at Gateway! Woooo! I’ll write all about it after it is over, but I’m sure that it is going to be the most amazing thing ever. EVAR! Well, and I get my pump installed on August 21st. That’ll be [...]
I’ll admit that I use Myspace. It is horrible, yes, but it is also a great way to keep in touch with high school friends. But seriously, it is the worst programmed website ever. EVER. I know that I’m a bad programmer. But COME ON!
I have a friend named Christina. The following facts are true about her: She is half mexican. She can be difficult to get a hold of. She thinks her musical tastes are better than mine. I beg to differ. (Current music: Sharp Dressed Man – ZZ Top) I like her. So that just about sums [...]
Most of you probably know that there was a terrible storm here in St. Louis last Wednesday, and another bad one on Thursday that knocked out power to about 600,000 houses or something like that here. I was actually at Crown Candy at the time, and the power went out there so we got to [...]
I mean my current favorite show. Of course my favorite show of all time is still Arrested Development. But anyway, my new fav. is called “Fast Inc.” and is a show on MTV. I’m sort of embarrassed by that, but at least I didn’t say it was “Pimp My Ride” or something. Anyway, the premise [...]
Yay! I go in next Monday to get started on the process of getting an insulin pump. I’m totally pumped.
I am very disappointed to see that you are siding with those who wish to limit stem cell research. As a type 1 diabetic, this sort of research is very important to me, as it could lead to breakthroughs that would allow me to lead a normal life, free of constant shots, blood testing, doctor’s [...]
Today I am very mad. Very, very mad. I was listening to NPR on the way to work this morning, and I heard about this http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/07/17/congress.stemcells.ap/index.html Now I’ve always been pro-stem cell. But now that MY disease is one of the diseases that they list… Come on! Is some non-human thing really worth more than [...]
Phil’s friends Vin and Mateo turned me on to this new game, and I wanted to pass it along. Although I feel like anyone who would want to play it knows about it, and anyone who doesn’t know about it wouldn’t want to play it. But whatever. It is called Kingdom of Loathing and you [...]
Happy Birthday Phil. On a side note, today is his 21st birthday, and last night his friend Mateo and I wanted to take him to a casino and/or strip club. He wanted to sleep. Good ol’ Phil.
There has just been too much other craziness going on in my life to concentrate on writing stuff here right now. I’m finally getting used to this diabetes thing, but it is a lot of work. You guys who don’t have it really don’t know how lucky you are. In a bit of different news, [...]
Playing soccer after midnight, while fun, can lead to serious feeling like crap issues. Especially if you have been up since 6. Double especially if you get low blood sugar. Triple especially if you get kicked in the shins several times. And in retrospect, I’m not sure that raisnettes were the best way to raise [...]
