today was a gorgeous day… the sky was clear from whatever brown crap was blown around yesterday. i’m gonna be outta town until thursday. i shot this picture of a basketball goal this weekend - i just liked it a bunch.
i’m watching dog the bounty hunter on tv when i really should be [...]

tgif. i’m sitting at neo’s right now… all the boys (jeromy, neo, hambone, and sarge) are playing age of empires and i’m just goofing off on my laptop. this weekend, i’m going to work on turning my dining room into an office… it has become more and more of a need. [...]

so… my previous post about the warm and fuzzy “feel goods” of the week was almost prophetic… shortly after posting, i went to my consultation, which went well.  the couple i met were very nice and i’m eager to work with them.  then i went to jeromy’s for dinner.  out of the blue, he surprised [...]

i’ve been gone from mandaloo.com longer than i would like, but that’s okay. it’s called life, right?
some exciting things have happened the last couple of days. yesterday was valentine’s day. it was not a topic jeromy and i had discussed extensively, but we had decided on going to a hockey game that [...]

i stayed up ’till 2:00 a.m. yesterday and it’s probably going to be the same tonight. very non-mandylike behavior. but i’ve been getting a lot done. i revamped the red brick site and am pleased with the new approach. i still have some things to do, like get the event album [...]

not much longer (don’t know if it’s this week or in two weeks) until i get extra funds and i can get a new camera. i’m salivating at the thought of it. i had been looking at the nikon d50 (for the couple of places that is still carrying the model), but now, [...]

it’s been a long week. and today has been a long day.
don’t get me wrong - i enjoyed the day off and forced relaxation - but i’m just in a slump. today was a bad day for no reason in particular, and for every other reason left. things just didn’t go right. [...]

still no warm water … le sigh. here is a pic of my new hair cut and dye job, compliments of my cell phone… excuse the dramatic pixellation…

it was coooooold this morning. and i had a legitimate reason for staying home until eleven today. i opened my door and there was a nice, healthy coating of ice on everything. i didn’t make it into work until right before lunch. there were lots of things i wanted to [...]
