The Color Run - Chicago

http://thecolorrun.com/chicago/

It was our first race ever and we had an absolute blast. I’ll be cleaning paint out of my ears for weeks but it was totally worth it. What a fun morning!

My Best of 2011 - an addendum 

When I post My Best of 2011 a few weeks ago I completely forgot this category, my favorite book. And for good reason; I had read just 3 books in 2010, all in the last few months of the year. But this year I got a library card, kindle touch, and a goodreads.com account (beckelmann). As a result I was able to polish off 16 books, all but 3 in the last half of the year. And so my favorite of the bunch are:

The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo 
The Princess Bride 

Next year should be even more productive in this category. My goal is going to be to read 26 books this year. 26 would be continuing at the rate I have been going for the last six months. Plus it is one more than Katie’s stated goal of 25. Hahaha.

Thanks to Batman Arkham City I feel a deeply rooted need to hit all of these security cameras with an electric charge gun. Oh and pop every little kid’s balloons. I’M A MONSTER!

Personal space is over rated.

Uproar 2011 - Chicago

Avenged Sevenfold

YES!!!

Katie saw this lineup and we bought tickets immediately. My top 2 most listened to bands will be there. Avenged Sevenfold, Bullet For My Valentine and Black Tide in one place! This is going to be just about the best metal concert I’ve been to (neck and neck with Iron Maiden/Dream Theater).

Happy Fry day! I’ll be celebrating. Will you?

Sorry boys, that’s Lolla Friday. I have a date with Matt Bellamy and the gang.

This is Bryan, shaking his head and trying to finish his 8th sushi roll at an all-you-can-eat place.

I am currently about 33% of the way through my second entree. Our waitress giggled when I ordered.

We’re both hurting, Tumblr. But oh so happy!

I could see the finish line.

I just recorded a new personal record. 8 rolls of sushi (and a cup of ice cream). This one will stand for quite some time.

Katie took me out to celebrate only having one month left until the wedding. Boy did we celebrate! She was cheering me on the whole way. What a keeper.

Xbox Live is leaking of the day: “I’m doing science and I’m still alive.”
