On my train ride back to work, this guy took me by surprise. At a stop, the doors opened, he walked in and walked right up to me. Without missing a beat, he started speaking Chinese to me and was asking directions. I ended up having to stand up, say "Uhm…" and proceeded to fumble …
I hop on a Metra train downtown this morning, around 7 AM. I haven’t ridden the Metra in ages, although I used to take it daily when I commuted into Barrington for work. Today, I took it downtown, and it was a pretty nostalgic sort of thing, to be on that train once again after …
Unfortunately, Kent’s friend wasn’t able to make it. On top of that, a lot of folks were out of town, travelling, so it was a rather small and intimate group. There wasn’t a bachelor party ever in the works, but Saturday night was more of a spontaneous get-together. Dave, Kent and I hung around the …
I’ve got a super early morning tomorrow. Jim is coming into town bright and early (7:45 AM), and MaryAnn and I are going to meet up for breakfast downtown.
By staying home today, I missed out on attending the Gay Pride Parade, where my friend Matt holds an annual party streetside (translation: lots of coolers with lots of booze), and where Q101 has its own float. I got this picture from Rey at work. Sorry I didn’t attend, but at least you got a …
I got home around 5:45 AM. Slept all day, and now my system is out of whack. I’ve got some pictures, but I’ll have to post them later. I spent most of today on the couch, or sleeping, or sleeping on the couch. :|
I got a note from Kent a few days back, about a friend of his being in town. There weren’t plans to have any sort of bachelor party but, since a good friend of his was coming into Chicago… he tried to gather some folks up, last minute.
I met up with my uncle and cousin this evening; I was surprised to find out they were in town, and we met up for dinner. They’re staying quite a ways away from downtown Chiago (a good 10 minutes from Midway, in another county even). They had already hiked into the city and, since they …
Most people have separate heart and love lines on their palms. Felix has one big line that spans the width of his entire right palm. He's told that this is "lucky."
As a kid, Felix starred in a television commercial for a toy called "Linkits." He's never seen the toy beyond that day, but can still hear the theme song in his head.
On July 13th, 2002, Felix nearly killed himself when he put a Tombstone pizza in the oven and then promptly fell asleep on the couch for the remainder of the night. He almost won a Darwin Award.
