Baltimore

So we went to Baltimore on Saturday, and I had a really good time!

First off, our directions from google maps were terrible and we got very lost and also had to pay $4 in extraneous tolls.  Then there was some sort of accident in the tunnel, but they got it cleared out in about 10 minutes so we didn’t have to wait very long.  We got quite the tour of greater Baltimore as we took every possible wrong turn.  Finally, we ate lunch at a great seafood place named Bertha’s and walked around a little bit.  We tried to go to Edgar Allen Poe’s house but it was in like the worst neighborhood possible and we didn’t even want to get out of the car.  Then we went to Poe’s grave which was in a nicer neighborhood and took some pictures.  We wandered around the inner harbor for awhile, but I wasn’t all that impressed with it.  It’s like if you turned the KOP mall inside out.  Everything was chains.  I liked the area we were in first (by Bertha’s) a lot better.  It was much more quaint and unique.  Anyway, we went to the national aquarium which was really cool but maybe not worth the $20 apiece.  There were lots of sharks and this really cool huge tank when you first came in with some sharks and lots of manta rays.  I also liked this tank right at the end with seahorses. 

So finally it came time to go to the Ben Fold’s concert.  It was AWESOME!

Encore: The Luckiest

So that was pretty much awesome.  Great show.

In other news, I had a big presentation in class tonight, so I’m glad that’s over.  Also, this week is really going to suck because we have a delivery next week.  Also, I don’t think I mentioned it, but the in-laws decided to come down for Thanksgiving.  So lots of big things coming up!

Yet another good game

You know how much I like to shoot zombies!  This is a suprisingly simple yet good game where you’re an old man de-animating some walking corpses with a revolver.  My personal best is 131 zombies capped. One helpful hint is that you actually have to click on the zombie you’re trying to shoot. I had this crazy notion that bullets would actually hit things you didn’t click on and it caused my head to get pulled off.

P.S. Packers are actually doing kind of good…

Ah, Sunday

I’m writing this post from my new football command post in the spare room with my desktop and the small T.V.  It’s everything I hoped it would be! 🙂  AND the Packers game is actually on T.V. here in PA since they’re playing the Stillers.

Ugh, the Packers.  What a mess.  They’ll be lucky to win another game this year.  It’s gotten so bad that they had to pick up a WR named Taco! No seriously: Taco Ordered (their title not mine, I can’t take credit).

I’ve been working overtime the past few weekends and this week was no excpetion.  I don’t mind though because I get a lot done and I get paid for it too.  But one thing that makes work a little more bearable is konfabulator.  You install this program and then you can download widgets which do all kinds of things.  Each one is sort of like a little specialized web-browser window.  For example, I have one that showes me football scores, one that showes me the weather, one that gives me a daily Dilbert cartoon and one I can double-click for a Napolean Dynamite sound clip.  How can you beat that??

So next weekend is going to be awesome.  Sara’s friend from home is visting her brother in Baltimore so we’re going to go hang out all day followed by a Ben Folds concert!! It’s going to be a cool concert too, he’s playing with the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra.  I’m excited to see which songs he’ll play.

::sigh:: This is just rediculous

P.S. Congrats to my sis for 4 years of not eating meat. If you’re into that sort of thing.

Mom: I guess I have your approval, then?
Me: are you looking for it? 🙂
Me: of course you have my approval
Mom: well I don’t want you to think I’m a floozy
