About Me

I love cats, tv, collecting Buffy and NHL action figures, working with computers, music (rock, punk, ska, pop, etc...), Weight Watchers, and lots of other stuff. I'm pretty vague most of the time and usually only people that know me well know what the hell I am talking about. I'm pretty shy, but I'm getting better since I've been losing weight (140+ lbs and counting!). I love hockey - the Hurricanes, Maple Leafs, Senators, and the Ducks. Swedish boys are cool. Niclas Wallin, Martin Gerber, Chris Pronger, Scott Walker, and Ryan Adams.

Matilda

Matilda has passed on. Two weeks ago after her regular weekly vet visit, I brought her home and she was not breathing well.  She had been having trouble breathing a day or so before her vet visit...

Matilda update

Matilda is doing well!  She was at the vet again this week and she has gained a half a pound.  I had her there almost a month ago too and they said that her kidneys had also improved.  ...

Matilda was diagnosed with kidney failure on Thursday.  I never saw it coming and then Wednesday she just peed in the floor.  That was not normal, so I had to take her to have her checked.&n...

sad news

My friend Joe passed away today. He was so young - only 39. His 40th birthday was this month. I am shocked. I knew he was ill, but I thought he was getting better. This sucks.

Pete Yorn

Yesterday Jennifer and I hit the Pete Yorn in-store at School Kids in Raleigh.  It was really fun!  There were maybe 50-75 people there I think.  He did about a half an hour of songs.&n...

I love Firefly!
