Omar Zevallos

Happy Thanksgiving!

U2's "No Line On the Horizon" CD is fantastic, but I can't get over the lyric "I was punching in the numbers at the ATM machine" (in "Moment of Surrender").

My digital camera is slow to focus. Perhaps I need an upgrayedd.

: Wow! 0.4 seconds left! The Pens put on an amazing show.

Omar is eagerly awaiting UPS to ring the doorbell. A repaired Xbox 360 is (finally) on its way home!

Omar will never be giving NTB another dime. Ever.

: Alex is home sick today, and Amber took a vacation day. This may be my most productive sick day yet!

: Amber just got a work-related call at 8am on her vacation day. I just won a bet with myself. Pay up, self! (Double or nothing there's another by 2pm.)

: The good news is that I found a Sam Adams Cherry Wheat in the fridge. The bad news is that I tried to twist the top off, and it's not a twist-off. Oh well, nothing heals a scratched hand like a cold bottle of Cherry Wheat.

Omar is having a "Solo Day" while Amber and Alex are out shopping. On today's agenda: video games, sleep, movies, make the Kessel Run in less than twelve parsecs, repeat.

Omar has just discovered that calling Microsoft Tech Support and talking to a brick wall both yield the same degree of assistance and, in turn, frustration.

Omar just bought a stove. Life is becoming too "grown up." Time for late night videogaming to keep the inner child alive!

Omar will be enjoying a tropical Christmas this year!! The plane tickets have been purchased. Is it too early to pack? :).

Omar is looking for the weekend. It seems like it just started, and now it's gone much too quickly. Maybe it fell behind the couch.

Omar is not feeling too well. Alex's transfered cold is taking its toll (though at least Alex is feeling better, so that's a plus).

Omar is having a new furnace installed today. And while they're at it, might as well prep the kitchen for a new all-electric stove. In for a penny....

Omar just had a heating system inspection. Guess who needs a new furnace? ... Fantastic.

: Alex is playing his ocarina. It seems to have no effect on time... so far.

Omar can hardly believe that Alex is one year and one day old today! (the party kept me away from FB yesterday :).

: I tried to watch a movie via Netflix streaming, but then Kanye West took over my computer and made me watch Beyonce's video for two hours. The man has no boundaries.

: If I was a shark, my Facebook status would be " is swimming and hunting."

Omar is very excited and happy that Alex took his first steps today! :).

Omar urges you to go see "District 9." It's really good.

Omar is beaming! I was outside earlier while Alex and Amber were inside. Alex pointed to me and said "Dada!" Then I came in, and Amber told me about it... and then Alex did it again! Mission: First Word -- Accomplished! :)

Omar is working late again, and as a result, would like to fast forward to September 18 (just before Alex's birthday).

Omar reminds you to not lose your dinosaur.

Omar has no idea who Stacy is, but has it on good authority that her mom has got it going on.

Omar is done working for the day. Yay for half day-- Wait, it's 11:30 PM, not AM? Fantastic.
