Laptop in Bed

Several months ago, there was an XKCD comic called Morning Routine. It is the original inspiration for this comic. I started to think about when I end up sleeping with my laptop in bed. It’s when I’m alone, and usually only when I am feeling pretty lonely.

It’s kind of a painful reminder, isn’t it?

Building the Bar

So, I’ve been gone for a little while. In fact, too long.

I’ve had a lot going on in my life, and I find it harder and harder to get myself to sit down and write. My appologies to anyone who reads this blog. However, I have something to show for it.

The past several weeks, my roommates and I have been putting a lot of our effort into building our new bar.

The Bar

Kevin is quite the carpenter, and did much of the framing and much of the bar. Justin and I were able to help out also, particularly in the finishing work. Overall the bar’s dimensions are pretty big. It is an L shape, and comes out from the wall about six feet, and then tails off for another six. We designed the bar from scratch and built it as such. There is a draft beer system, consisting of a refrigerator conversion. We can store a quarter keg of beer on tap. We hope to finish the entire basement (where the bar resides) and fit it with a projection system. Should be great for the rest of football season!

PS. I have a new comic idea, should have one out soon.
