  • 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! #

  • First (and only) Jamaican of the Olympics spotted in ski cross. #
  • Eating some Pomegranate Blueberry Italian Ice for dessert. #
  • Finally broke $1 billion on the Hollywood Stock Exchange! Only took me…5 years. #
  • Yay snow! #
  • This snowstorm is a big disappointment. It’s just rain and it’s melting all the old snow. T_T #
  • Scott Hamilton is getting a little too excited about the triple axel-double toe loop combination. #
  • Excellent, they’re predicting 6-12 inches of snow tomorrow! #
  • I feel bad for Mr. Toyoda, he’s really getting grilled on Capitol Hill right now. #
  • Maybe I should have brought a shovel to work today… #
  • Kim Yu-Na was so dominant tonight that Mao Asada couldn’t come close. Maybe she’ll also get her silver upgraded to platinum like Plushenko. #
  • Just saw a snowplow stuck in the snow while driving to work. #
  • Going to miss curling since it’s over. Guess I’m going to have to turn into a hockey fan now. #

  • Doing an unexpectedly high amount of work on a holiday. I’m supposed to be celebrating a couple of presidents today, right? #
  • Eating a coffee sponge cake with a whipped cream topping and cherries that someone brought into the office for Chinese New Year. #
  • Finally getting to watch a full match of Olympic Curling off my DVR. Still not sure why this isn’t a more popular sport… #
  • Very excited that the Starcraft II beta has begun…except that I didn’t get an invite yet. #
  • Going at it again with the hot chocolate coffee…this time with mini marshmallows. #
  • Watching curling, eating gummi bears, and drinking tea before going to sleep. #
  • Ow, I think I strained my shoulder grabbing for my bookmark after it fell behind my bed last night. #
  • Saw a co-worker putting fruit snacks on his salad today…interesting idea. #
  • Very pleased that honorary captain Vernon Davis (University of Maryland / SF 49ers) is supporting curling. USA men/women got wins today! #
  • Clutch wins today for the USA curling teams! There isn’t another sport in the Olympics close to the strategy and drama that curling has. #
  • The #1 moment is going to be tough to beat. RT: @MasterRen: Wackiest moments of the Games | NBC Olympics http://j.mp/9BumSX #
