Rearranged The Fireplace

(e:joe) and I spent about an hour rearranging the rocks and adding platinum fibers to the fireplace to make it more sparkly. It looks way better now

Birthday Party - Butt Pic NSFW

We had my birthday party last night. (e:joe) made me an arduino based ball to drop. (e:mike) destroyed it in about 40 seconds. You seriously can't have anything around him.

He eventually "tired" himself out.

We got out the meat slicer and sliced up the prosciutto. It was a hit I think. There is something to be said for thickly sliced prosciutto.

The snacks were so good and I had a fun time hanging out with everyone. That was until a rowdy crowd decided that I needed 37 spanking with the giant metal and wooden spoon.

(e:yesthatcasey) and (e:mike) pretty much held me down while everyone else beat me. I guess I had it coming after (e:mike)'s birthday. The most hardcore were (e:yesthatcasey), (e:bluevelvetjack), (e:joe), and of course (e:robert). Its still black and blue today.

I also got a rubber ducky and bath crayons.

The Cutest Guys at the Bar

On Friday I ended up at Radiation night at underground because someone brought a dog to the animal free party we were supposed to attend.

Isn't it weird for someone to bring a dog to a party. I should have gone anyways and been the guy who brings antifreeze in pie plates to a party. Is that any weirder?

Rocky Situation

We still had these rocks in the driveway that were a holdover from our battle with the dance camp days. Two got covered in snow and I ran them over. Somehow, almost impossibly the rock which is about 50lbs turned itself up and jammed between the frame, the muffler, its pipe and the tire.

I had a lift but that didn't help. I had the car jacked up 100% but still no budge with the rock. I ended up missing a follow up doctors appt because I just couldn't get out.

Taking the tire off might have helped but somehow we don't have a tire iron. I ended up spending the better part of two hours in negative temp smashing parts of the rock with picks and sledge hammer till it finally released.

I took the rest of the rocks out of the driveway so this can't happen again.

Moving On Up

I got offered and office again thanks to that hard work of one my favorite people at work. I also got a briefcase from (e:terry) and (e:joe) for my birthday. I am feeling more professional already although its going to be hard to give up the backpack. Maybe it was the only thing that kept me looking young ;)

Birthday Dinner at Rue Franklin

We had my birthday dinner at Rue Franklin last night. The food was amazing. They even made a delicious off the menu veggie meal for (e:joe). It was such a great time.

I had Grilled octopus with winter beans, radish and olives, a cheese platter, beef tartare with a citrus sauce, and duck and sausage stew.

We drank it down with a delicious bottle of red wine and I topped it off with Creme Brulé.

Afterwards, we came home for delicious truffle cake that (e:joe) made and I opened my gifts. They got me the leather bag I had been asking for and (e:mike) got my a fancy wine opener although his real gift is helping me write the thank you cards for the wedding.

All in all, it was an amazing birthday.

Random Food

I am so into eating a bunch of random veggies with proscuito. It tastes so damn good and I got around 15 lbs to go. The artichokes at Wegmans and Trades Joes were so good this week. I wish I bought more.

Blood Pressure

I brought a blood pressure monitor because I am obsessed with health monitoring. My blood pressure is pretty damn good.

On the other hand my pulse rate is generally pretty high like 70-80. I want it to be 60. I guess the answer is more cardio.

Surprisingly, it appears that physical labor and excerise have almost no effect. It tried lifting weights and exercising and it only went up a few points. You can tell I was exercising at the time based on my pulserate. I was even dancing to happy hard core and then listening to gabber when I took the measurement.
