This might just be my favorite Weird Al song of all time now. It’s “Close, But No Cigar”

The Week 4 Update… 1. Healthy Eating – Mwahahahaha. I kicked the scale’s ass again.  After 4 rounds, it’s me 4, scale 0. The scale put up a good fight in round 3, but lost it’s motivation in round 4. Take that scale! 2. Cleanup – Not happening quite yet.  Hopefully I can start to [...]

This one is for the gamers and techies out there. Last night, my new $89 BFG Tech 7600GT arrived from Newegg. It’s actually my second card, for SLI. I bought my original card last March for about twice the price and it’s performed liked a champ. Before I bought the card, I knew that there [...]

If anyone is looking for some crazy softball pants go check out Boombah.com. Mine should arrive today and my turfs should arrive just before the season begins in March. I’m looking forward to softball this year, probably because we didn’t all burn out on a fall league last fall.  Plus, we’ve got a couple of [...]

Two new updates for my techie side. WordPress just released version 2.1.  I’ll start playing with it soon enough for my ancillary sites.  ScalpEm.com will always be the last to upgrade since it needs to be stable. However, I’m going to get the old Groomlake site going again, so that ScalpEm.com will have it’s fun [...]

Well, the scale didn’t win this week, but I didn’t kick it’s rear end either. After further review of the food journal, the ruling on the field stands; I didn’t do so hot over the weekend with my choices. However, I’m not getting down on myself. I still lost some weight, and I’m still feeling [...]

Every now and then, life throws me a nifty little curveball.  Granted, I couldn’t ever hit one of those very well, but the kind that life throws don’t need to be hit.  Sometimes they are there just to be appreciated.  I got one of those this weekend, and it was a much appreciated one. Other [...]

It’s early on Friday, but I’m going to go out on a limb and make my picks for the playoff games. Both the Saints and Patriots will win their games. The Saints win, because they have the best offense left in the playoffs and because Rex Grossman doesn’t have two good games in a row.  [...]

Sunday morning, I specifically checked the City of Tallahassee’s website, TalGov.com to make sure that there weren’t any schedule changes for recycling pickups. There weren’t, even though Monday (my scheduled pickup day) was a holiday.  Imagine my surprise when the recycling wasn’t picked up! In reality, I wasn’t surprised at all.  Since I moved to [...]

Did I mention that ScalpEm.com was nominated for two College Football Blogger awards? Pretty sweet if you ask me, but while it’s nice to be nominated, I really want to win Best ACC Blog and The Job Award.  I’ll keep my fingers crossed that I get enough votes from other bloggers between now and Wednesday.
