I neglected to mention that my friend Rob was interviewed on an episode of the History Channel’s Weird Us, in a segment on the history of concrete ships. Rob’s actually become quite the amateur historian on the topic. The segment aired today, and was quite interesting, but there’s no word yet on when or if it will re-air.
Month: December 2005
Apparently:
In the year 2006 I resolve to:
Eat my weight in Grilled Cheese Sandwiches.
Of course, if I did that, my weight would likely just increase as I went along, and the vicious circle would never end. Not that I don’t like me a good grilled cheese sandwich as much as the next guy, but I’m actually hoping to continue losing weight in 2006.

“They’re made out of meat.”
I very happily received an iPod for Christmas this year (among some other much too generous gifts). I guess I should be thankful it wasn’t meat inside the box instead.

The Producers and Munich make for an odd double-feature combination, but I had a good day nonetheless.
