Autumn's Tag
I don't feel like being creative, so instead I'll take a tag and you'll all get to know me a smidgeon better.
Four jobs you have had in your life:
1. The Flat Iron Cafe (First job...lasted over 5 years)
2. CMSD (My first job out of college)
3. CWRU School Of Medicine (Weird having friends use a product I worked on)
4. 4TechWork (Technical contracting work - what I do now)
Four movies you would watch over and over:
1. Office Space
2. Rounders
3. Anchorman
4. Napoleon Dynamite
Four places you have lived:
1. Cleveland, Ohio
2. Princeton/South Brunswick/Middlesex, New Jersey (A co-op job during college)
3. Cleveland Suburbs, Ohio (Lakewood - until I was 1, North Olmsted - now)
4. Florida (we ALMOST moved there permanently when I was 5..but we moved back)
Four TV shows you love to watch:
1. Lost (I love this show!)
2. 24 (Edge of your seat for the entire time)
3. Prison Break (I'm only a few episodes into the season so far)
4. Family Guy
Oh, and I like Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Chappelle Show, Simpsons, The Office, etc...
Four places you have been on vacation:

3. Snowboarding in Colorado.
4. Moshing at an insanely energetic concert. ¶ 1:28 PM

It is fun knowing you a smidgeon better...
I'd love to be cruising in 80 degree weather - sometimes I really miss being young...now a days "cruising" for me involves driving my van to pick up the kids from school...lol!

Office Space! Love that movie! Very quotable, almost like So I Married an Axe Murderer-which no one else seems to have really enjoyed but me!
So-I-Married-An-Axe-Murderer is a sleeper classic! Not only did I submit that to Jason for his great classic movies list a while back, but I've frequently referred to his head "like an orange on a toothpick.... it's got it's own WEATHER system!"
One of the best-not-known-as-much-as-it-should-be movies of all time.
...She stole my heart and my cat...

Looks like an orange on a toothpick... He's gonna cry himself ta' sleep on that great big pilla' tonight..."

Oh, sorry. I made the ePortfolio for the School of Medicine at CWRU. I knew like 5 or 6 students that were using the student ePortfolio. Everybody said they liked it and it was a vast improvement over previous systems.
That's alright Olivia... I've been busy coordinating with the plumbers. Jason has clogged up the toilet so bad that they have to the snake out. No more McRib sandwiches for my honeybuns.

this from hometime.com:
Unclogging A Toilet
A clogged toilet can be an intimidating situation and at times it take a hearty do-it-yourselfer to keep from calling in a plumber. Nonetheless, unclogging a toilet can be easy, not fun, just easy.
Use a "fluted" or funnel plunger designed to seal inside a toilet bowl. Extend the fluted flap of the plunger, fit it tightly inside bowl drain to form a good seal.
Plunge up and down several time and quickly break the seal. Repeat this a few times to work the clog back and forth and eventually free it.
If the clog remains, insert a closet auger into the bowl. Position the bent end of the auger into the bowl's trap and fish the rod through until it hits the clog.
Crank the auger's handle clockwise and push it into the clog a bit more. Once the clog is "hooked" with the spiral tip (or ball) pull the auger back and forth. Repeat these steps until the clog is freed.
Avoid flushing the toilet. It may still be clogged and backup. Instead, fill the bowl with a bucket. If the water level doesn't go down, the clog is still in the line.

Asian Wok "Beef Kung Pow" is great. If I'm in the mood for a yummy, spicy treat I try the spicy chicken pad thai from the Phnoem Pehn at W. 131 and Lorain Ave in Cleveland. That stuff is amazing.
Honey I think I speak for all of us when I say that we could use a new post. Your blog is getting to be as bad as your "routine."

Sonny boy, the offer still stands. If you want to come over for a few lessons I'd be more than happy to help out.
