RT @deneyterrio: “Bob Maplethorpe, potential getaway driver. Go” “Well, I think there’s an air of mytery about me”
Pins and needles. Waiting for results of hydrostatic test. The path to homeownership is quite the emotional rollercoaster.
Whew. Test results good. Contractor was even there fixing all the things he’s supposes to. One step closer…

From the incessant honking and cutting off of a car to running a way-red light, this is by far the scariest bus driver I’ve ever had.
I like how when my Dad asks me if I want eggs, there’s never a follow-up question about wanting bacon. It’s implied.
Spent the second leg reading trenchant analysis of Lady Gaga cookies. What an incredible time-waster that Carles is. Now I just feel dirty.
Spent the first leg of the morning bus ride purposefully trying to appreciate the architecture downtown. Not a bad downtown. Not bad at all.
Looking like today will be filled with nothing but writing. If I can keep my coworkers quiet and off my back, today should be a good day.
While waiting for a teleconference that may or may not happen with Korea, I’m perusing the Metro engineering drawings for he University Line
My bridge-engineer grandfather would be proud….
Enjoying my grandma’s xmas present to me (Texas Monthly subscription) on the bus headed home. Tom Delay as Bum Steer recipient 2k10 on cover
Which reminds me: I have a good numer of thank-you notes to finish this weekend. Man is life moving fast these days…
Sorta feeling a bit pretentious spelling the capitol “Bruxelles,” but what can you do?

So there’s no third course. Too much of the second. Retiring to watch Home Alone and perhaps Sound of Music. Time for new holiday traditions
Ok, just kidding, third course. With Macallen 18 year. No table, rest of the crew didn’t make it up this late. http://twitpic.com/v9qtp
So @ftrks is being a real holiday trooper: she’s aatching Home Alone with me even though she’s almost all-xmas’ed out.
Second “course,” including juniper-smoked turkey. http://twitpic.com/v8wyd

Apparently, I have the kind of jet-lag that kicks in the second night. Only got 3 hours or so. Good thing our main presentation is this AM
Whew. Back on terra firma. Haven’t been that close to missing a connection in a long time. Heathrow is still not less difficult to navigate.
There is a dude reading Lady Chatterly’s Lover in the terminal. Wow. Out in public? I mean, I read it, but in the anonymity of my own home.
Uploading photos to Flickr for the first time in forever. Some good ones up now of the snow on Friday.

I can confirm snow in the Heights. No way am I driving to work in this.
Just another exciting day at the office: power went out, people stuck on the elevator, firetruck to the rescue. Thank god for audio books.
RT @BreakingNews: GE confirms deal to sell 51 percent stake of NBC Universal to Comcast -NBC
Well, that RT experiment did not work as expected. I think what we all want to know about GE selling its NBC stake is the following
What happens to the East Coast Television and Microwave Oven Programming??
Anybody know a good hotel in Bruxelles? Or fun things to do?
Sounds like @ohheysk and @htxlisakate are on pretty much the most retarded road trip ever. Sitting on my couch enjoying the hilarity….
