Year: 2006

I relaize it’s been a while since I posted, and more since my last podcast.
I’ve also not read my friends’ LJ’s and have been out of the loop for a bit.

I’ve been extremely busy with a lot of things in my life – primarily work, and then there’s my lovely lady of course, and theater rehearsals, which will continue intul June.
I don’t know why I submit to this abuse – it might have something to do with the fact that I enjoy it. :S

I’ve also picked up a couple of online games – namely www.ogame.org and www.vendetta1923.com. Point of advice: don’t even start on Vendetta. The game mechanics are slow, the system isn’t well defined enough.
A lot of people have joined the alliance I am in on OGame, though, so a shout goes out to you guys & gals.

In any case, I hope to have a few minutes to post details of my upcoming production of CST’s “She Stoops to Conquer” – a comedy of which hilarity took a double dosage of – and hope to see you all there.

Until next time, I remain Mike The Man.

Just a few minutes before SuperBowl 40.
It’s late at night, and I’ll be awake until morning to see the end.
Not really sure which team I’m rooting for yet, but it’s bound to be interesting, either way.
I’m joined by (who’d rather be asleep, that’s for sure. 🙂 ) and a co-worker, who’s coming over to experience the game for the first time (IIRC).

Hope you’re up and enjoying the game!

Almost a full three years passed since, and still it’s weird.
I’m kind of wondering what else is going to happen.

To those who are older than three years of age, and have known me for that long, know that I was dating someone over three years ago and it ended a bit badly (for a given value of “bit”).
In any case, about a month later, I opened this online rag where I began to spew forth my words to whomever cared, as I most certainly didn’t.

Fast forward two years.

I was dating another lady, I’m sure you all know her, and it all came to an end six months ago.

Now, I am dating a lovely woman, and I go to the first night of rehearsals for a new show that I’ve been cast in.

Ex from 2003 is there. Ex from 2005 is directing (but I knew that. I’ve already come to terms with all that). Now I can’t help but wonder what is going to happen next. Will some other skeleton from the past come out and surprise me?

In any case, all that strangeness aside, it was a good rehearsal and it’s a wonderfully hilarious show.
You must come see it. I’ll post show dates soon, so keep your pencils sharpened.

Hope your life isn’t as weird as mine!

All these MEME things get really tiresome sometimes.
But, having been tagged by my dear friend PurpleParrot in her post here, I hereby answer the infamous MEME4 behind this lovely cut.

Four jobs I’ve had in my life:

1. Investment Banking
2. Computer Protector
3. Theater technician
4. Actually a classified job

Four movies I could watch over and over:

1. Anything by Kevin Smith
2. Still Crazy
3. The Princess Bride (I’m hopless, aren’t I?)
4. Labyrinth – a serious classic

Four places I’ve lived:

1. Southern California (after being born)
2. Austin, Texas (where I really grew up and acquired my wonderful redneck tendencies)
3. West Bank, Israel (a little settlement that was hell)
4. My friend Yos’s easy chair (for a year out of high school, when I just didn’t want to go home)

Four TV Shows I Love to watch:

1. Scrubs – Zach Braff’s internal monologue is something to admire
2. American Chopper – if you haven’t seen it, do. One of the best reality shows ever!
3. Veronica Mars – Don’t you just want to eat her out up?
4. Drawn Together – Another reality show, but of a slightly different nature

Four places I have been to on vacation:

1. Greece, with a bunch of friends
2. The Grand Canyon, when I was an infant and can’t remember it
3. Zurich, completely by mistake
4. Manhattan, New York, while trying to figure out the future. I failed, can’t you see?

Four websites I visit daily: (altho thanks to RSS, these are dropping steadily)

1. Google, duh….
2. My LJ Friends page – to keep up with my tabs on you all
3. Engadget – for the wonderful toys they show me
4. College Roomies From Hell

Four of my favorite foods:

1. Eggplant parmesean
2. Vegetarian lasagna
3. TOMATOES
4. Pizza, but not from just anywhere, specific pizzas. There’s actually a qualifying test to join the list,

Four places I’d rather be:

1. The Greenbrier – I’ll let you figure that one out
2. Southern California, for the year-round biker-friendly weather
3. Manhattan Island, NY – for the craziness and noise
4. London, England – some place that’s foreign enough to be different, yet I can be understood well enough in a language I already know

Four books I’ll read over and over again:

1. Anything by Terry Pratchett, which covers most of my library
2. Godel, Escher & Bach – a seriously heavy book, that has a lot to teach each time I pick it up
3. Green Aroow: Quiver – it may be a comic book collection, but the dialogue and story is so dark in there that it’s fun
4. Finally, the amount of time’s I’ve read Clive Cussler’s “Raise the Titanic”, solely based on the fact that it’s a book in the bathroom, is staggering.

Ok, now that I’m finally done with that crap, I’m tagging a few others to wade through these questions themselves. Herein, let it be known that: , , , and are hereby asked to do the same.
MUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
