Spent the day outside…cleaning up branches and fixing up parts of the house. May have acquired a bug bite or two as well. :( #
Trying something new today: Hot Chocolate Tea…not that bad. #
Watching episode 1 of The Pacific while eating fresh pineapple. Pretty good so far (both the show and the fruit). #
Happy “Free Ice Cream Cone Day” at Ben & Jerry’s! http://www.benjerry.com/scoop-shops/feature/free-cone-day/ #
50 Things to Do with Sriracha. I know someone will enjoy this… http://www.chow.com/blog/2010/03/50-things-to-do-with-sriracha-2/ #
Signs I need to go to bed earlier: Almost falling asleep in front of my computer at 9PM. #
Ordered a Santoku Knife from Amazon that was shipped out from Edison, NJ (40 min away) today and the estimated arrival time is Monday. #
Just came back from treating my dad to dinner for his birthday (actually it was yesterday). #
Eating some dark chocolate Toblerone my dad got while he was in London. #

18 hour power outage is not fun. :( #
Still pumping water out of the basement :( #
Yay the entire basement is cleaned up! Just finished up my NCAA bracket as well. #
Finally revived the hot water heater. Now I won’t have to take an ice cold shower. #
Picking out new (or the same) prescription glasses/sunglasses frames. Mostly because they want me to use up my medical reimbursement money. #
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Everyone can pretend that they’re Irish and wear green now! #
Eating a See’s Chocolate Lollypop for some late-night energy. #
Getting ready for the NCAA tournament with some chocolate coffee. Need those antioxidants! #
Can’t stop watching college basketball…it’s an addiction. #
On the way to work, I saw a guy shaving and laughing in the car behind me. #
Quality Maryland win over Houston! 89-77 Jordan Williams was dominant tonight with 21 pts 17 reb. #
Since there were no more games today, I’m watching the Maryland 2002 Championship game. Those were the days when we had a good team… #

Wow, Alice in Wonderland with a $116 million opening weekend! #
What an odd combination of break-dancing and contemporary dancing with the soundtrack music. #
This Avatar movie doesn’t look too bad…didn’t know they had Mechs in it, otherwise I might have seen it earlier. #
Oh great, Sandra Bullock winning an Oscar and a Razzie on the same day! #
The Hurt Locker is apparently the best movie that I have never heard of until today. #
I’m liking accuweather’s description for tomorrow’s weather. “Delightful with plenty of sun.” #
Congrats to Maryland’s Gary Williams and Greivis Vasquez, ACC coach and player of the year! Go Terps! http://easyuri.com/86d2a #
Decided that I’m going to watch Up before either Avatar or The Hurt Locker. Looks more fun and still won an Oscar for Best Original Score. #
Don’t think I’m ready for daylight saving time yet. I like waking up to lots of sunlight. #
Found some leftover Halloween candy to fuel my late night sugar-rush. #
The good thing about a slow day at work is that you get to watch the college basketball on TV instead of CNBC. #
Just finished watching 2012 since my parents were watching it downstairs. Could chop off an hour and it would be the same ridiculous movie. #
“Good afternoon. My name is Russell. I am a wilderness explorer in tribe 54, sweat lodge 12. Are you in need of any assistance today, sir?” #
Just finished watching Up! Excellent movie, gets two thumbs up from me! Who else caught the Star Wars reference in it? #

Heading back up to NYC to look at apartments for my aunt. Plenty of pictures to come. #
This is one of the worst closing ceremonies ever. #
Where is the rest of the closing ceremony? They cut Michael Bublé off with the Marriage Ref! I know it’s bad, but I’m sure there’s more. #
Suffering from Olympic withdrawal. Oh wait 24 is on now, nevermind. #
Maybe I should get to sleep earlier. My internal clock is slipping toward 1AM now. :( #
Yay! Great start for Maryland on Senior night! Take it to Duke, Greivis! #
M-A-R-Y-L-A-N-D! Huge win over Duke 79-72! Great way to end Senior Night for Vasquez, Hayes, and Milbourne! http://bit.ly/csBqyc #
Made the mistake of having a hot chocolate coffee and a some chocolate munchkins this morning. #
Just finished watching The Karate Kid again with commentary…such a classic movie. #
Going to the Honda dealership to get the oil in my car changed…also to get a couple cups of coffee. #
Wow, Maryland winning over UVA all because UVA’s coach threw down his suit jacket and getting a technical foul. #
Done with my taxes! #
