Piano

I’d really like to learn how to play the piano. I know this will never happen. But I can think it anyway.

Andre Agassi

When I was in 4th grade, my favorite sport in the world was tennis, and Andre Agassi was my favorite player. I was 9. I’m now 24, and even though tennis is no longer my favorite sport, I still like it quite a bit, and by far my favorite player is Andre Agassi. That’s 15 [...]

The Emmys

I have a few thoughts on these. 1) I love the Office. It is my favorite show that is currently on TV. I have every episode, and I wait for it to come on every week. It is a great, great, great hilarious show. And yet I was so disappointed when it won Best Comedy. [...]

Metrolink

I took the new Metrolink extension to work today. It works out because one of the stops is 3 blocks from my apartment, and the other stop is literally right in front of my work. It also happens to work out that there is a stop on main campus and a stop near my parent’s [...]

Disney World

I know I should have talked about Disney World before now, but I’ve been lazy. So here goes. Disney World. The first two days we were down there we spent at the beach, which was a good start to the vacation. I went down with Mom, Dad, and Abby on Saturday and Phil and Helen [...]

Classes

I’m taking two classes this semester, because really, I don’t have anything better to do with my time, so I might as well go sit somewhere besides my apartment. Also, I think it will be a good way to distract myself for about 6 hours a week from thinking about my stupid diabetes. And I [...]

Love Pump is Here

And so far I hate it. I think the settings are all wrong and it keeps causing my blood sugar to go low and it feels really weird to have this thing attached to me and no one thought “Hey, what happens if you need to take your pants off” with this thing, because you [...]

Florida

Sorry. I forgot to post before I left that I was going to Florida. I got here Saturday and leave tomorrow night. We were at the beach for the first two days, and have been at Disney for the remaining ones. It has been a lot of fun, but by now I am completely worn [...]

Chicken

I’ve been watching a lot of Good Eats with Alton Brown lately. So I got it in my head that I could cook, and tonight I really wanted some pan fried chicken. Well the flour didn’t stick to the chicken. Then the egg wash took off most of the flour. The breadcrumbs were too wet [...]

In Honor of My Insulin Pump

New Busch

I went to the new stadium last night to see a Cardinals game. This was my first time at the new stadium, and I very much did not like it. Sure, it was pretty and open and airy and everything. But it just didn’t feel right watching a baseball game there. They showed a couple [...]
