After living together for a long, long time.. Dave and Justin are getting their own places. Tonight is the big, BIG final farewell party. I’m planning on making it until breakfast. I’m not usually one to stay late, but I’m gonna try and break out of my hiding mode. It’s a dance party which is…
Dave showed up here right at 8 AM, and we went to work. I’ve been trying to put shelves on my walls for some time, but seem to only make this rather large gouges into the wall. Dave is here to help, in exchange for me helping code his Flash site for him. Bartering is…
Dave also needed to go to the Museum of Contemporary Art today, to pick up a mobile for his kid. Like me, Dave is practical and strives to be as efficient as possible. He asked if I wanted to go with, and MaryAnn and I tagged along for the ride. We went to the store,…
MaryAnn and I talked a bit, when I got back to the apartment. We were surfing sites together for a bit, and I ended up calling it a night. Before bed, I got a call from Justin (who was a bit tipsy), as a reminder to burn the gallery photos to a CD. As it…
Rob and Jake are having a closing party for their work tonight. Since I passed out and missed the opening, I sure as hell wasn’t going to miss this. All in all, a very cool evening. Jake and Rob both spoke about their work, combining speech, poetry, music, you name it. I saw a good…
Right before I left work, I was talking and tipped over a full, cold cup of coffee with the phone cord. It spilled onto my keyboard a bit, but soaked my pant leg, making it look like I lost control of my bowels… but only on the left side of my body. Stupid Universal Harmonic…
Got an e-mail this morning: Dear Felix Jung, Don’t know if you’re still on this address which I got off the web some while back. Anyhow, I’m planning to quote one of your web poems in an article in the NYR and they asked me if I could supply just some indication of who you…
Actually, work went really well. We’re doing a fancy survey-type site, and Brian and I got a lot of ground covered regarding the navigation. We trimmed down what used to be a rather unwieldy interface, and now… instead of bombarding the user with a gazillion options to do everything, we’ve made things screen and context…
They’re doing construction along Cortland Ave., and have been paving over the road the past few weeks. Near the train stop, I discovered that the road used to be paved with brick. It made me wonder how long the brick had been waiting, underneath all the crap we’d thrown on top of it… and how…
Melissa and I talked today, and set up a time for us to hang out next week. As it turns out, she’ll come down to Chicago on Monday night, and stay here and leave sometime Tuesday. I have to admit… at first, I was a bit wary. I think a big part of it is…
Pacific Cafe. This was a place that Chelsea and I used to go to a good deal, and it’s still one of my favorite places. Right on Damen, and the front doors open out onto the street when it’s warm enough. Reasonable prices, and just good vibes all around. I felt a bit guilty, as…
Instead of taking the train home today, Tracy drove and offered me and Jenny a ride. It felt nice, hanging out in the back of Tracy’s car… and just watching the world go by. On top of that, I got to ride with two really hot girls, and it made me feel really good. I…
As I was walking to the train this morning, I crossed paths with a woman who was walking her dog. It was the cutest thing in the world, a small little puppy on a leash. And she was super cute to boot. Part of me was suddenly overcome with the desire to have that sort…
MaryAnn signed a lease today on an apartment! That was really, really fast! I’m glad she found a place, and that the whole "searching" process is now over. After work, I went to Home Depot and Ace Hardware. Got some supplies in anticipation of my coworker Dave’s visit. I’ve been tearing up the walls here…
