A couple of months ago, my department decided to throw a Star Wars themed party that included a screening of the original Star Wars film, "A New Hope". And we followed up with the remaining five films, one each week, up to the release of the new movie. For that party, however, we talked about doing some different decorations for the office. I decided to take it to the next level and build a large AT-AT out of cardboard.
I'm not much of a person for midnight releases... of anything; movies, black Friday stuff, etc. But when I heard that every Toys "R" Us was going to be doing a midnight release event for the new Star Wars Force Awakens toys, I was intrigued.
If you had asked me 10 years ago if I thought there was a chance I would run back to back 10k and half marathon, on two different coasts, at two different Disney resorts in consecutive months, you would probably have gotten a blank "what the hell are you talking about" stare. But that's what just happened.
I'm not a great runner. Honestly, I still haven't found that thing about running that many people love. However, I do love Star Wars, and to an only slightly lesser degree I love Disney. So when they announced the inaugural race weekend in Disneyland, I didn't figure I'd have too much trouble convincing Dani to agree to sign up for it.
I hadn't carved a pumpkin the past few Halloween's. I thought it'd be fun to resurrect that old tradition with one of my favorite new comic characters. After searching around on the web, I found a nice pattern that I thought I would try of our good friend Groot from Guardians of the Galaxy.
his past weekend, Dani and I took a trip up to Portland to visit our good friends the Gilligans. First stop Saturday morning was to Smiling Hill Farm to pet some animals, ride a tractor and pick a pumpkin.
To preface this post, I'd like to state that in general I don't have issues with technical recruiters and the work that they do. I've used them several times in the past to find jobs. And while there are certainly ones I like more than others, they do serve their purpose.
