The Life and Times of Sooz

Brad Choate is offering a generous reward to anyone who can help his friend Ron Pacheco find a fulltime job in the southwest Connecticut/New York City area. Ron's eight-year old son Thomas had cancer so it's important they are back on health insurance soon. Here are the stipulations that Brad described on his ...

After several hours of coercing Zippy to play nice with the wireless-g notebook adapter driver, I finally got my wireless network set up at home. I decided to go to Panera Bread to take in the free Wi-Fi, do some work and eat lunch. That's where I'm at as I type this little blathering ...

Michael picked up the Linksys Wireless-G Broadband Router on sale today for $129 at Radio Shack. Yes, Radio Shack. One geek pal has already given me a hard time about this. But it was the best deal in our immediate area. Best Buy and CompUSA outlets have it available for the ...

Today, Ani Difranco sums it up like this:

We got egos like hairdos
They're different every day
Depending on how we slept the night before
Depending on the demons that are at our door

I got my kitchen stocked
I got my door unlocked
There're no demons here
And I don't really care
Whose name is printed in bigger type
You know I live ...

Mike seems to think that my apartment is turning into HQ for the U.S. division of the Sondre Lerche fan club. Almost, but not quite. Sondre will be performing a song from his Faces Down album tonight on Carson Daly's show. I'm rarely awake during the work week to watch the show ...

I stopped by Tosconini's in Harvard Square last night on my way to ZuZu and ordered a Korean Citrusade. The drink includes club soda, orange marmalade and ice cubes. It was a tasty beverage, but something seemed to be missing. How about some of that Strawberry Stoli that's been sitting in the ...

Tonight Susan C. and I met up for a late dinner and a free music event at ZuZu, the restaurant with beautiful red walls between the Middle East's restaurant and corner. I've walked by it dozens of times but tonight was the first time I went in. We ordered the ZuZu PuPu Platter. ...

Michael announced plans for a party to celebrate five years of BunkoSquad.com, his home on the web. It seems just like yesterday I was pestering him to get a website. Apparently we're going to party like it's 1998. Hopefully that doesn't involve listening to The Titanic Soundtrack which was #1 (well, not on ...

I'm doin' fine my friends all say so I'm doin' all right but that don't mean dick unless you know, I know, you know -- "You Know, I Know, You Know" ~ Bleu

I picked up the re-release of Bleu's Redhead album at Newbury Comics yesterday. They've got it on sale for $7.99. What ...

I have told you this before
and my transparent mind
won't cover see-through hearts
I'll be straight with you now
Now I'm not what you want
just like the rest
and you feel like you're subject to a test
But if there's one thing I know it's this
When I lose my sleep it's you I miss - "You Know So Well" - ...
