  • Work complaints.

    Posted on April 30, 2008 by Dan in stupid people, work.

    Commence complaining. I’m in charge of three buildings. Two are traditional style (long hallways, two or three people to a room, shared bathrooms on the floor) much like many of us lived in during college. The other, which I live in, is apartment style, so 4-6 students to an apartment with a full bathroom and […]

  • I feel like a whole new person.

    Posted on April 28, 2008 by Dan in we're crazy liberals, work.

    Not really, but this weekend I did get a haircut AND a new cell phone. My hair is back to being really short, like most of you saw it over winter break when Dan and I were home. My cell phone actually has functions beyond that of a phone, and Dan is a little jealous […]

  • Late Night thoughts v.4

    Posted on April 21, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, we're crazy liberals.

    *Our apartment experienced not one but TWO floods this weekend for two completely different reasons. It was pretty awesome. *I just finished reading Eat, Pray, Love which has been a bestseller for awhile. It’s about this woman who takes a year out of her life and lives for four months each in Italy (to experience […]

  • Having trouble focusing

    Posted on April 16, 2008 by Dan in growing up, update.

    Well, I can’t believe it’s been a year since everything went down at VT. That was such a long day – I remember first hearing about it, and then calling everyone I knew still at Tech or affiliated with Tech at all obsessively all day long as the news continued to break. I remember being […]

  • 12 on the 12th!

    Posted on April 13, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, food, kitties, work.

    WOOT I remembered this month! Let’s jump right in, shall we? So, today was actually Cal Day, which is like the huge fair type deal for students who have been admitted to UCB to come visit, get a tour, etc. So, my staff and I get to organize and give tours of the residence halls […]

  • I was getting to it!

    Posted on April 6, 2008 by Dan in update, work.

    My mini adventures have been in Austin and here in SF. I was in Austin for SXSW which is a huge music/film/interactive festival, and it was amazing. I was helping to produce the Levi’s Fader Fort, the biggest party in town. We had roughly 40 bands over 4 days, a well-equipped open bar all day, […]

  • Important things for you to know today

    Posted on March 19, 2008 by Dan in kitties, travel, work.

    **I cancelled my MySpace account today. I don’t why I’m feeling so accomplished about that, but I really am. **Our cats need a bath for SERIOUS. Wow. **Nothing that exciting has been happening since Dan has been home. He’s been home since Sunday night, and he was all stuffed up on the plane, so then […]

  • Living on a college campus has it’s perks

    Posted on March 16, 2008 by Dan in Berkeley, concerts, stupid people, we're crazy liberals.

    So, when students ask for my advice (and sometimes when they don’t) about what they should do while they’re in college, I step onto my soapbox and tell them that they should take advantage of the performances, exhibits, lectures etc. that come to college campuses. Because in real life, these things do not pop up […]

  • 12 on the 12th

    Posted on March 14, 2008 by Dan in food, work.

    I love that Ro is posting 12 pictures on the 12th of every month. It’s fun to get a glimpse into someone’s life that is so different from the one that you experience every day. For the past two months especially, I have been promising myself that I would post 12 pictures from my day…except […]
