Hello Sweden!

So, over the past few days, I’ve noticed a bit of a spike in the traffic to this site. Mostly, it seems like peoeple are linking up that experiment I made combining music and pi. Most days, I sift through the generic web stats program that I have through my host. But I ended up

Nerd Story

Here’s a fantastically nerdy fact that I need to record: during a bout of insomnia (after he had slept for most of the day, due to illness), Justin found himself awake in bed at midnight. After a lot of tossing and turning for a few hours, he attempted to bore himself to sleep by conjuring

Artful Dodging

I got a call from Justin, who’s been under the weather recently, ever since the Thanksgiving holidays. Well tonight he was feeling a bit better, and needed to get out of the house. After talking a bit, I decided to take him up on a drink offer and we made plans to meet up at

Travelling

As I was updating the blog over the weekend, I started thinking more about the process of travelling from one place to another. I was reminded of a phrase cited to me by a fellow writer, back when I was attending the CW Program at OSU. I forget if it was a student, citing a

Grouper

Got a link from Mr. Grumpy, and just installed Grouper. It’s a private P2P program, and looks pretty good. You can stream files from a friend’s computer (and share files to boot).

Binge

So I watched a craptacular amount of The West Wing today. Although, sadly, a lot of the episodes so far I’ve somehow already seen. Maybe when I first caught the bug, I happened to be watching reruns of Season 3. I first got sucked into this show when I realized that it was on on

Halloween Pics!

I spent tonight updating the pics from Halloween. Finally! And it’s only been, what… a month? Sheesh.

Movies

Tonight was pretty laid back. Dad got home early from work, and my mom and I rented a few movies to watch. We stayed up until maybe 1:00 AM, munching on grapes, watching movies, sitting on the couch and a big blanket stretched between the three of us. Fun stuff, and very relaxing. It’s good

Lunch and Camera Envy

Had lunch with my sister and her husband Shane. I went over to visit his “work” house, and learned a bit more about his venture to raise fish. Specifically, the species known as “discus.” I think I’ve got that spelled right. Shane has this house set up, and in the basement… he’s got a ton

Shopping

Fun day today. My sister and I went out and about, shopping a bit. I splurged on a few things (got some CD’s, the third season of West Wing, and a Stephen King book). As far as music goes, I got an album by Jim Croce (mainly because I wanted a particular song that I

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was a day of eating and TV-watching. My aunt Angela, uncle Leon and cousin Christopher drove down from Chicago and are staying with us a few days. For lunch, we went to my parents’ restaurant and had dim sum. I spent the remainder of the day on the couch, flipping through channels. Cable TV!

6 Hour Drive

Drove home tonight. And what normally takes me a bit over 3 hours (Chicago to Indianapolis) took me about six. Sweet lord, what a horrible, horrible mess the roads were. I didn’t take off until maybe 3:00 PM. And by then, the highway was jammed up. I was crawling at about 5 mph for maybe

Updates

Stu and Juliet had their last night in Chicago last night. They’re off to Minnesota, then Africa, then Portland. Check out the pics. A lot of my friends have this bad habit of leaving Chicago. I’d like to just say right now: cut it out. All of you.
