Have a fun few days off! I’m heading home for the holidays, but then heading right back. Since I recently started the job, no real vacation days to speak of. So… I’ll be back in Chicago by Thursday AM, bright and early. Don’t expect many updates the next day or two – might not be…
That Time of Year
Mucking around with some sound stuff, although I’m not sure how much longer I’m planning on working. Lately, a lot of the folks I’m used to talking have dropped off. Were-here is down again, and many have left their DSL connections to travel back home to their families and dialup. It’s just odd – for…
Globe Trekker
Saw a bit of Globe Trekker, and a hysterical episode about Korea, hosted by Ian Wright. Something about the way he balances reverence and comedy in the way he presents other cultures. I think the whole show revolves around several "presenters," but whenever I see him on I stop and end up getting sucked into…
Inactivity
The whole day has been a wash. I’ve been watching DVD’s. And to make things worse, I’ve fallen asleep more times than I actually thought was possible in any given day.
Post Party
On the way home, I grabbed a cab. When I got dropped off, the cabbie turned around, trying to get a better view of the framed photograph I had with me. I ended up giving him Stu’s URL, although I’m not sure if I got it right or not. As a safety measure, I left…
Secret Santa and Stuff
Stu’s house. Fun times, a great apartment, and friends sipping on booze. How can it get any better? Monica and Seth, Dawson sitting far right. All incredibly nice folks. I *think* that Dawson is a friend of Melissa’s, who was the one who set up a meeting between me and her two friends. Took…
Cafe Iberico
There was a lot of mixup tonight, for dinner. I got there right at 6:30, and looked around for people I recognized. I knew that Seth and Monica had arranged the dinner, but I didn’t really know them all that well. I walked inside the restaurant, looked around, and then headed outside to wait. A…
Secret Santa and Stuff
I hadn’t known people were swapping gifts, and only found out about this during the day, talking with Justin. Around 1:00 PM, he and I walked down the corridor to Kaybee Toys, and tried to find some gifts. The rules were that the limit on gifts was $5. I bought some sort of Beatles/Yellow Submarine…
When God Created Perfect Days, He Was Thinking of Today
Seriously – I haven’t had such a fantastic day in a long, long time! This morning was the Q101 Christmas party, the one thrown by the Sales Department. Tons of good food, and I had me some biscuit and gravy, a made-to-order omelette, and two Bloody Mary’s. All before 10:30 AM. Add a big piece…
Workaround
jverbal and I, both slightly not quite sober, try to work through an ActionScript exercise… jverbal: ok i have a string “jon2” Portnoy: What’s the problem? jverbal: i want to remove “jon” from the string and just return the number jverbal: im stuck jverbal: that enough info? im kind of hi :) Portnoy: ROFL Portnoy:…
Cafe Iberico
Stu just left a message a bit ago, saying that he was having a party tomorrow night. Apparently, folks are gathering at Cafe Iberico at 6:30, and then heading over to his place. He may not make it to dinner, but he’ll be waiting for everyone at his place. Cafe Iberico! Jebus – I love…
Another Day
It’s gotten pretty slow and sluggish around the office this week. Everyone seems to be able to feel the holildays approaching, and the hallways have filled with molasses. I played Mike in a game of chess (good game), and the hours just ticked by. Jacqui, a old friend from my high school days (she was…
