I still think this would be more interesting to read had I came up with the idea to do this when I first came down here and not like 10 months after the fact.<br /><br />That said, ahem, I'm happy and fortunate to be hosting my parents for a weekend in mid-August (for everyone's sake, I'm not inserting the "JAWS" quote here). This reminds me that I want to let everyone know I'm always happy to host people for the weekend. There's quite a bit to do down here and I figured it would be easier to do something while it was still the summer, though we are all mostly working and not too many of us are in school anymore (which for some reason depresses me.)<br /><br />My next venture up to MA is TBD/TBA.<br /><br />Peace out yoJames McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-29616450930256660392009-07-02T08:21:00.000-07:002009-07-02T08:25:35.227-07:00How time fliesWhile talking to Dawn last night, I remarked how quickly the year had been going as its July already. Then came even a more startling revelation, its already been nearly a year since I got the new job and moved to the Garden State. <br /><br />I moved in late August (maybe the 30ish-th?) and started work on Sept. 2. It really doesn't feel like I've been here a year, six months yeah, maybe, but definitely not a year.<br /><br />Oh and for those 2 or 3 people who actually read this (all likely from MA) I am hoping to make an appearance during the weekend of Jul. 10 - 12.<br /><br />Seating is limited, please reserve your space/time with James now :)James McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-58861429920154948582009-06-25T06:41:00.001-07:002009-06-25T06:41:40.381-07:00New Gig, part 2And here's my second review....<br /><br />http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/wii/reviews/39987.aspx<br /><br />Cheers... againJames McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-55999334644040238342009-06-25T06:08:00.000-07:002009-06-25T06:12:01.623-07:00New gigA while back, I hinted about an opportunity to write about my passions. Well, things have finally culminated. I am a contributing writer for Bright Hub, a web site which features all sorts of content, including articles on video games.<br /><br />I have written wii reviews for two games, one of the articles needed a bit of work, but should be up soon.<br /><br />In the meantime, check this baby out!<br />http://www.brighthub.com/video-games/wii/reviews/39984.aspx<br /><br /><br />CheersJames McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-49237002767851982892009-06-24T15:01:00.000-07:002009-06-24T15:03:41.842-07:00New RoomateI'm happy to announce I have successfully adopted a year and a half old cat. Her name is baby, though I think I'm going to call her Baby Delilah. I am currently scheduled to pick her up Friday afternoon. <br /><br />Photos will be forthcoming,<br /><br />Peace outJames McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-68843457476106600852009-05-31T13:09:00.000-07:002009-05-31T13:13:09.232-07:00Quick UpdateHey there,<br /><br />Just checking in everyone. As some of you may know, I had been undergoing tests for some abdominal issues I've been having. Though I am still awaiting results of a few tests, I'm happy to announce that I at least don't have Celiac Sprue Disease, Chrohn's or IBS. We'll see what else we find out in the following days and weeks.<br /><br />Also, there's a chance I'll be doing some part-time writing in the near future. I believe I found a rare opportunity to write about one of my favorite things. I'll let you guys know how that turns out.<br /><br />Take it easy peepsJames McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-39399508651363115522009-03-31T07:39:00.000-07:002009-03-31T07:43:02.972-07:00Scotty's Coming to TownI am excited to host my first guest in the apartment who does not have the last name Brunelli or who is not a cable installation technician.<br /><br />From late Apr. 2 to early Apr. 5, Scotty will be visiting me in the Garden State. I might show him some of the local sights, though I'm still unfamiliar with most of them.<br /><br />That said, I'm very much looking forward to his visit and hopefully I'll have more visitors from the Bay State soon HINT HINT ;)James McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-13797687040213922122009-03-30T13:15:00.000-07:002009-03-30T13:19:12.603-07:00Jersey Freeze remains for nowMany of my fellow New Jersey citizens (I still have to get used to that) are rejoicing as it seems a popular restaurant/ice cream parlour will remain for the time being. As reported by the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Asbury</span> Park Press, the place will remain for at least another year (it was supposed to be knocked down and replaced with an Olive Garden.)<br /><br />For my Massachusetts friends and family, the place is the equivalent to Kelly's Roast Beef in many ways.<br /><br />My fiance as well as many others of the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">Brunelli</span> clan will no doubt be rejoicing upon hearing this.<br /><br />They do have some nice ice cream. As the summer draws near, I must admit I too find this to be very good news :)James McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873403017182830080.post-78895445333438119382009-03-30T08:31:00.000-07:002009-03-30T08:34:00.427-07:00Inaugural PostHello,<br /><br />I've set this up so my friends and family from Massachusetts to Virginia and Washington can keep up on my New Jersey exploits.<br /><br />I may also use the blog from time to time to vent on various things I see and hear - isn't that what all blogs are for?James McEvoyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08440722219678308348noreply@blogger.com2
