Yard Makeover: Progress

Downpour, 6PM
Walking home, I ended up getting caught under some construction planks. The sun was breaking, and I was right at the edge of some pretty heavy-looking clouds. The rain came down strong for a good 5 minutes, and I ended up waiting here with a few other folks who were also seeking shelter. A bit …

Goodbye, Jennifer. Sorta.
It’s been a little over four months since Jennifer joined our office. And while we knew this was a temporary desk assignment for her, it was a bit of a shock to see her packing up today. Today was a sort-of goodbye to Jennifer, who is relocating to an actual office on the other end …

In a heightened state of joie de vivre, Justin attempts to catch a Munchkin thrown from across the room
Believe it or not, over the course of this blog… I’ve recorded Justin trying to catch foodstuff with his mouth not once, not twice, but thrice. In addition to today, I also give for your viewing pleasure: Pancake Frisbee: January 9, 2004 $5 Donut Wager: November 21, 2005

Liz and Ashley
Spent the night tonight hanging out with Liz and her longtime friend Ashley, who was in town visiting. I don’t have any pics of the evening, as I just never really felt right taking out the camera at any point. We had some dinner at Smoke Daddy’s, grabbed some gelato, and then had beers on …

Does this creep out anyone else besides me?
I’m talking specifically about the Yahoo! banner on the left, advertising their video section. Examining this graphic, I’m not really all that enticed to submit my work over there. When I look at that guy, I don’t hear him saying “You have star potential.” I hear him saying “You. Fellate me on my casting couch. …

Happy Village
Hung out in the back of Happy Village for a bit, and grabbed a drink with Liz while watching the sun set. I don’t know the bartender’s name, but she had the pitching arm of a champ. One drink turned into two. I really like the feel of the backyard area. There’s ping-pong inside, but …

I… am a genius
While in the front yard today, talking with my landlord Ted, he asked me how my electric bill was looking. “Fine,” I said, unsure of what he was talking about. At first, I thought he meant to ask whether my electric bill was high due to all the power tools being used around the yard …
