Exciting Life of The Solitary Man - Part 1

by Glark on October 20, 2007

Aftermath of meeting with a bazooka in Team Fortress 2

Tara is on vacation with her sister and parents to a horrible place I would not go. So I’m all alone. Here’s what I did on day one:

slept in until noon
decided to restart blog
installed Movable Type 4 and skimmed selection of horrible themes
removed Movable Type 4 and installed WordPress 2.3
Went out and got a grande non-fat, no-water chai from Starbucks, a whole size larger than usual
Customized WordPress
Microwaved Chinese food leftovers and by leftovers I mean plain steamed broccoli and plain steamed rice with soy sauce on it — I live large
Reviewed upcoming Glarkware changes for 10 minutes
Watched season 2 of Rome
Played Team Fortress 2

So was day one.

“Went out and got a grande non-fat, no-water chai form Starbucks, a whole size larger than usual”

Right on! No-water is the way to go. If I may make a small recommendation, I suggest you try soymilk instead of milk next time. It makes for a sweeter drink, in a good way.
Glark 10.21.07 at 6:42 pm: I’ve been a vegetarian for over 10 years now (holy crap) but I just can’t get behind soy milk. It tastes like watery rice pudding strained through a soccer player’s sock. Their chai syrup used to be a lot less sweet and more spicy — I wish it was less sweet to be honest. Unfortunately almost everyone else who makes a chai that they will also put in a cup to go uses the Oregon Chai stuff which is awful.
Kim 10.21.07 at 7:32 pm: My question is: how different is this from what you would have done if Tara were home?
Glark 10.21.07 at 7:38 pm: Not much but instead of Rome Tara would have a marathon of ANTM or Degrassi on.
Tammy 10.22.07 at 3:53 pm: “I wish it was less sweet to be honest.”

You, sir, are dead to me.
carly 10.24.07 at 8:46 am: Ha! I read the first sentence and really wanted to know where the horible place was, even though I was pretty sure I knew. I checked your wife’s blog and was proven correct. We’re going in February. My husband is just as much of a hater, but we have a six year old daughter so there’s no way the miserable bastard’s getting out of it. Enjoy your time alone!
