I put my Christmas tree up at work today.

Eric and I had an awesome time in St. Louis at HiBearNation this past weekend! It was great to see a bunch of you LJ folks again too! My fav experience outside of the bar was a trip to Jilly's Cupcake Bar. They had some amazing food. You'll see some of their offerings in my pics from the trip...

People.com has posted a video geography quiz featuring Miss South Carolina from the Miss Teen USA pageant. You know, the chick who says we need more maps, and such. At least it seems she can read. LOLz!

ZOMGs!!!1!! The Naptown Roller Girls are starting their season early! I am sooooo there! Road trip! Would love to see some of you Cincinnati and Columbus folks there too!

This past weekend, my buddies JohnJohn, Gregg, and I headed to Dollywood in Pigeon Forge, TN for some backwoods good times. The park really impressed me. It's more of a theme park than an amusement park, and 90% of it is done-up exceptionally well. As for thrills, I think Thunderhead has taken the #1 spot on my list of wooden coasters...that thing seriously rocks. The new Mystery Mine ride was loads of fun as well. Oh, and there was lots of good eye candy!

Last night, some buddies and I ate our way around the Indiana State Fair!

You are the classic Shakespearian tragedy of the lolcat universe. The sad story of a baking a cookie, succumbing to gluttony, and in turn consuming the very cookie that was to be offered. Bad grammar ensues.

The last month has been a l-o-n-g stretch. Not a day went by when I wasn't in the office or at least perched in front of my laptop, pounding away at work's big project. I was stuck in my own little world of work/twitter/eat/sleep for the last month...totally detached from just about everything non-work related (I did manage to catch a sneak preview of Ratatouille last weekend - cute, cute, CUTE!) We finally hit our beta milestone last week, so I got to enjoy a free weekend hanging out at the family farm, playing Wii with my youngest niece most of the time.

Tucked into the crazy month, a promotion and salary bump came my way - Associate Creative Director, Web & Media. Wooohooo! To celebrate, I'm planning to make my way out to San Francisco for the iPhoneDevCamp event. Any other LJ geeks attending?

Also, I currently use a pair of Sony MDR-EX51 headphones. They're great for complete isolation, but it's too easy for people to sneak up on me (a fav. pastime of cow-orkers.) I'm looking for a good monitor-style set. Recommendations?
