http://aaronhurley.org a blog by me about whatever Fri, 18 Apr 2008 18:10:26 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Just over a year ago I smashed my face into the side of the tub. While things are certainly better, I'm pretty clearly not 100% Then Now It's most noticeable when I smile. People try to say it looks like a dimple. A tipsy woman at L&W's wedding commented ... http://aaronhurley.org/2008/04/18/1-year-later/ So, last night, me and the Mrs. are sitting around watching a movie and dorking out on the computer. I decide to log into Facebook for the first time in months to answer Emily's challenge and play a couple of games of Scramble. Pretty quickly, that devolves into ... http://aaronhurley.org/2008/03/22/the-internets-are-fun/ I know I haven't had a blog post in a million years. I've even had lots of good ideas for posts over the last few months, but I've been busy. Super busy. Mainly, I got married. That takes a lot of time. I'll tell you ... http://aaronhurley.org/2007/10/01/questionable-recommendations/ And by other guy, I mean the side of the bathtub. I woke up on Tuesday morning feeling fine and dandy. Instead of the usual waking up slowly I tend to do, I hopped right out of bed and went into the bathroom. While in the bathroom I began ... http://aaronhurley.org/2007/04/18/you-should-see-the-other-guy/ It looks like I'll be able to pick up my new car later today. If all goes well, I'll be motoring before the sun goes down. The problem is I'm trying to figure out what the first song to be played in the new Mini should be. Since I'll ... http://aaronhurley.org/2007/04/12/name-that-inagural-tune/ Well, that didn't work. Maybe they are too smart for us. Or maybe, better yet, they've moved on. http://aaronhurley.org/2007/03/25/0-for-12/ It's time to fight back. We've got the motive. We've got the means. By tomorrow, we'll have the peeps. http://aaronhurley.org/2007/03/22/the-peep-stops-here/ If you were grossed out like I was by the last "peep poop" post, please read no further. Today we were doing some general kitchen organizing. A lot of things in the kitchen haven't found a home since moving in a few years ago. Many glasses and serving dishes ... http://aaronhurley.org/2007/03/18/does-orkin-handle-peeps/ The other night after the kitchen debacle I hung out waiting for that other peep to show itself. While I did see him a couple of times I never actually got a hand on him. I had seen him around the appliances on the counter, but I figured ... http://aaronhurley.org/2007/03/17/peep-poop/ One peep crawling around the bathroom in the middle of the night is strange enough. I mean, our house is generally kept clean of things that would attract a marshmallow duck - like...say...Easter basket grass or whatever. Still, with the weather as great as it has been, we've ... http://aaronhurley.org/2007/03/15/is-two-times-a-trend/ OK, I know my blogging frequency has approached zero over the last few months. Sorry about that. I really am. I've actually had a number of things lately that I thoroughly intended to make blog posts. My 1 year anniversary party, ordering my new car, a ... http://aaronhurley.org/2007/03/12/night-time-visitor/ There is something in the water. http://aaronhurley.org/2006/11/30/she-also-said-yes/ Somehow, I made it to my 35th year without ever having carved a pumpkin. I'm not exactly sure how that is. I haven't actively avoided it. I've seen people carving around me. Last year I even saw a million pumpkins being carved at the Boston common. ... http://aaronhurley.org/2006/10/31/my-first-jack-o-lantern/ This was ordered for my birthday 6 weeks ago by the best girlfriend ever and it finally arrived on Friday. That's right, it's an entire case of sauce from the most scrumptious BBQ joint on the planet. Apparently, they were completely out and the order was delayed while ... http://aaronhurley.org/2006/10/08/heaven-in-a-box/ http://aaronhurley.org/2006/10/01/best-album-ever/ I like all kinds of peanut butter. Crunchy. Creamy. Healthy. Hazelnutty. Whatever. However, at the core of my being, I'm a crunchy man. I like the texture, the solid *crack* of crunchy peanut butter. It turns out, finding real crunchy peanut butter is becoming impossible. This wonderful food has become another ... http://aaronhurley.org/2006/07/23/whatever-happened-to-crunchy/ So, there's this meme going around where people interview you and what not. I saw it on http://aaronhurley.org/2006/05/24/interview-this/ Check out this new commercial for Coca-Cola. Yes, that's Jack White (of the how-appropriate-for-Coke-colored "White Stripes") doing the jingle. More impressive is the video. It's directed by Nagi Nadi. She does these incredible art installations with multiple people and also directed this music video with a ... http://aaronhurley.org/2006/04/18/brilliant-commercial/ If you've been seen my quest for Shamrock Shakes, you may be interested in an update from McDonald's on why they can be hard to find in different parts of the country.

The Shamrock ... http://aaronhurley.org/2006/03/17/the-clown-speaks/ So, I just realized that St. Patrick's Day is on Friday. When did that happen? For some reason, my thoughts turned to McDonald's and their Shamrock Shakes. I haven't had one of these in YEARS!
