Recycled House

Inhabitat

If you haven’t heard of the Big dig in Boston, it’s a massive road works project to re-route the main interstate artery through the city underground via a series of tunnels. The project has also resulted in the Bunker Hill Bridge that has quickly become a city landmark.
Above is another, more unintended, result of [...]

Natalie Portman – SNL

Yeah, yeah, I know. I’m about a week or two too late. I don’t really care. Aside from a good looking girl, I’ve never really thought much of old Nattie P. Anyway, for the past couple weeks, I’ve heard way too much about this Natalie Portman SNL rap video. “Oh, [...]

Weekend fun at the gay bar!

Janel & I met up with some friends at Enrico’s in Norfolk. I had a great-tasting veal dish followed by a cannoli. Suck on that PETA! After eating, someone decided we should go to a gay bar in Norfolk called the Garage. I used to work a few blocks away and had seen the place [...]

Back to the harshly lit grind

After having been gone for a week and a half, I am back at work. To say I missed it would be an overstatement. Well, more of an outright lie. To put things into perspective, I had a cold over New Year’s and preferred that to work.
It’s not that I have a [...]

Ho Ho Ho

Here I am in Florida enjoying the first cold day of my holiday. My folks and I got down here Friday afternoon and were greeteed by low to mid 60’s days and mid 40’s nights. Christmas day saw me wearing a T-shirt! Later in the day, I wound up changing into shorts. [...]

When days pass slooooooowly….

Today is my Friday. I don’t have to work tomorrow, I have to go to White Horse tonight and try brownies to see if they deserve to go on the menu, and I can’t wait to get out of work! I’ve been listening to Pandora all morning and still the day creeps along. [...]

Weekend fun pt. 1

Or, “I’m getting too old to be running all over Hampton Roads all day.”
What a weekend. Went to a wedding Friday night, brunch and a movie on Sunday. I can’t even remember what I did Friday night, but I am almost positive I was busy with something.
Anyway, the wedding was for Chris & Mary, [...]

Chain chain chain of email…

Goofy title I know, but it’s early and I thought this was worth posting.
The other day, I was forwarded an email about recognizing a stroke. Whenever I get anything like that that asks me to forward it on to people I know, I do a simple Google search for the subject of the email [...]

All I want for x-mas is…

… um… I don’t know. What’s wrong with me? Janel asked Sunday what I would like to get for Christmas and I honestly drew a complete blank. What’s worse, the blankedness continues! Of course there are things I want, just nothing I would ask for as a gift. You don’t ask [...]

All mine…

As of October 11 (I think because the 10th was Columbus Day and I don’t think the Credit Union was open), this beautiful example of German engineering is all mine. That’s right, I am the legal owner of this 1997 (mostly) Sequoia Green Volkswagen Jetta GLS. In case you’re wondering, yes it has [...]
