Pittsburgh Winters are Getting Old

Posted on by Alex in Randomness

So it’s been snowing here pretty much non-stop for the past two weeks. While I occasionally enjoy shoveling snow, it’s getting a bit tedious. It’s also thoroughly annoying that other homeowners in the area don’t shovel their sidewalks. Come on people, I’m walkin’ here!

And that light half-rain, half-snow BS that was coming down last night… that needs to go away and not come back. Driving around with that freezing on my windshield is no bueno.

I thought global warming was supposed to make the North Pole a balmy 75°F year-round. What happened Mr. Gore?

Game on! Resolutions for a new decade

Posted on by Alex in Randomness

Ok, so bite me. I haven’t updated this beast of a blog with posts in forever and a day.* That will change… starting, now!

This super-awesome girl I know resurrected her blog with a ‘New Year’s Resolutions for 2010′ post, so I guess I will do the same. I’ve never been one for resolutions but this is a new decade, so it’s as good a time to start as any. Roll the list!

  1. Do more than 30 minutes of exercise 3 times per week. I’m currently doing simple calisthenics in the morning everyday, but they take less than 5 minutes and are hardly a workout.
  2. Be more spontaneous — a little spontaneity never hurt anyone. Will planning to be more spontaneous cause a temporal rift in the space-time continuum? I hope not.
  3. Read more for pleasure. Reading about current events too often makes me too pessimistic. I would like to find a good fiction series to delve into.
  4. Become more proactive about maintaining friendships. This means calling distant friends/relatives and bugging people to hang out more. Going for beers is a good time.
  5. Start writing/painting/drawing/playing more. Note to self: Start blogging more often. Start a journal. Learn a new instrument (Rock Band doesn’t count).

Ok, there. It’s out on the Internet for all the world to see. That means it’s true and I have to abide by it.

Note to self: Fix CSS up in here. It looks like sh*t.

* I have been a good site admin and have been upgrading the WP backend regularly. :P
