Tuesday, August 11th, 2009I recently purchased a shiny, new Nikon D5000 digital SLR camera. This was a brand new model, released in April 2009. I had been tossing around the idea of buying a new digital camera for quite some time, so when the D5000 was released I jumped on it immediately, buying it from Amazon the day [...]
Garden Update
Thursday, July 2nd, 2009Just a quick update on our garden…we spent another fifteen dollars on materials, which brings our grand total to about $105. We have harvested a couple strawberries, which were valued at
$.65 at the store. Only $104.35 to go until we break even!
Also, we have a friend in one of our pots:
Crazy Going Slowly Am I
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009I have an iMac. Abi has a Macbook. We recently found out that the Apple Remote that came with my computer also works with hers. That’s a good thing if we plug her computer into the TV to watch a movie. It’s a bizzare thing when Front Row randomly opens on my computer because Abi [...]
What’s Going On at Cedar Point?
Thursday, March 19th, 2009One of the blogs I subscribe to is the Cedar Point Blog, which generally includes posts about upcoming special events and various “behind the scenes” photos of the rides and park that most guests never get to see. From time to time I’ll read something interesting on the blog that catches my attention…like the other [...]
Meet Abi: Coupon Ninja
Sunday, January 4th, 2009Abi does all of the grocery shopping at our house, and she does a damn good job at what she does. No, it’s not just because I can always find something in the cupboards for me to eat…and no, it’s not just because she’ll sometimes surprise me with a 12-pack of beer…it’s because Abi is [...]
Just for Fun
Thursday, December 4th, 2008Just for fun I’ve decided to post these photos for you. Last week when my mom was in town for Thanksgiving she gave me a box containing some of my “stuff” that she no longer wanted in her house. Abi and I went through it the other day and found a lot of old high [...]
Fairbanks Packs House; Records Live Album
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008CINCINNATI, Ohio – 23 August 2008 – Roger Fairbanks is at it again, this time in front of a live audience. On August 23, 2008, Fairbanks invited a crowd of 50 friends and family to his home for a private concert. The Cincinnati weather was hot and muggy, but that didn’t stop the enthusiastic fans [...]
Slapping Some Irony Down for a Story
Tuesday, October 7th, 2008For the past couple months there has been a kid down the street practicing the maneuverability portion of the driver’s ed test in his driveway. I’m talking about cones and the whole bit here. From time to time Abi and I would be on a walk and would see the kid…we generally switched from the [...]
No Power Means No Shower
Wednesday, September 17th, 2008This past Sunday Hurricane Ike pummeled Cincinnati and the surrounding areas with wind. We’re not talking about some lame breeze you get in the springtime with bunnies hopping around and flowers blooming; this was the kind of wind that didn’t think about sucker punching you in the gut, knocking you down, and then kicking you [...]
30 Reasons I Don’t Buy Crap
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008Back a while ago when we were still in the apartment, our Toshiba DVD player bit the dust. It was on the fritz for at least a few months before that…sometimes the DVD tray would refuse to open/close, sometimes the DVD would skip tracks, all-in-all creating a really poor DVD viewing experience. When we moved [...]
