• shoveled the snow-covered driveway.
• spent several hours getting my "like new" computer organized and reloaded with iTunes and Tivo Desktop plus. (the essentials)
• went to a wine tasting at a beauty school in Lenexa. (a little bizarre, but fun nonetheless)

• got a money order to pay my mother-f'n to pay Wyandotte County for the mother-f'n ticket I got, AND DID NOT DESERVE, last Labor Day ("Don't get me started!" he said, shaking his clinched fist in the air.)
• froze my toes off all day in my office (even with my space heater on)
• met Eric & Dustin for drinks at Outa Bounds
• chowed on El Gordito at Manny's (the pork burrito is da bomb!)

Today I...

• ate dried out lasagna and a rock-hard breadstick at The Central Exchange while listening to Ann St. Peter report on the Chamber of Commerce's 2009 Strategic Plan. (key words: innovate & collaborate)
• attended reception 1 of 3 for the Schutte Endowed Professorship at the Bloch School. (exactly as boring as it sounds)
• made plans with the Neeley-Woods for Saturday night.
• checked my Facebook and email accounts no less than 72 times whilst watching the minutes slowly tic by in class. (7-9:45 classes are excruciating)

• turned in "essay one" for my policy evaluation class (two more to go)
• designed the invitations to Baseball, Books, & Beer: UMKC Friends of the Library's 44th Annual Celebration (April 15, 5p-7:30p at the Boulevard Brewing Co.)

• went to an Urban Core Group mixer and chatted up a very flaky-skinned former mayor, Dick Berkely
• made & devoured pasta prima vera (penne, stewed tomatoes, cottage cheese)

• watched episode one of "The Dollhouse" (the jury's still out)
• fell asleep during "Heroes" (no offense)

Today I...

• drove back from St. Louis, none the worse for wear save a slightly-bruised right knee
• ate indian buffet for lunch (a foreshadowing of Slumdog's Oscars sweep)
• watched the season finale of "The Real Housewives of Organge County" (still not quite over how mean those bee-atches are to Gretchen.)
• had dinner with Chaka Kahn at the Rose Brooks Center Cabaret gala (no offense, CK, but your voice was too big for the venue)
• got home in time to badoop-boop through the Oscars, ff'ing through the slag times and catching up to end "real-time". (enjoyed the Jackman numbers and the five-star presenters - also snaps to Penn for doing the right thing with his acceptance speech.)
