juliet: But deep down, I know I’m going to win. It’s all a matter of time before she cracks, and she moves back to the windy city. Dream on, Ohio Boy! It’s only a matter of time before you figure out that those chains you despise BUILT those huge buildings like the one you’re working in! They block out the…
Mr. Grumpy: let’s see another image, i thought the one you posted on your blog was a good start Mr. Grumpy: you’ve gotta keep going :) Portnoy: another image? Mr. Grumpy: i mean, PS image Portnoy: ah – Portnoy: hahaha Portnoy: Will have to find another song to get fixated on. Portnoy: And yes, I agree – more practice is…
I had offered to help Steph fix her work computer (she works for my landlord, Ted) and went to drop by her office. My landlord’s place (Cityscape Realty) is literally right around the corner. Steph told me that they were going to be signing a lease with some folks around 7, and to stop by. When I arrive, I see…
Work was work. Nothing fun here – blah blah blah blah. I did a lot of time-consuming busy work. But hey, since I’m contracted and am paid hourly? More power to me. So on the financial end, things are good. But a boring work day makes for a boring blog.
Today was rather uninspired. Until right about one o’clock, I felt completely useless. I went back to try and work on getting a fast forward/rewind button on that Flash piece. But suddenly, everything no longer works. No Internet connection on my flowery iMac, and I can’t test variables even when I preview the thing in a browser. After trying unsuccessfully…
I find a message from Juliet on my computer, saying "Guess what I did?" So… of course, I have to call her and find out. Turns out she spent all of last night getting together her application for the Ohio Arts Council grants. Sidenote: Matt sent me information a few days ago about the Illinois Arts Council grants, but I…
As I’m walking home, I get to feeling fairly sad. I wish I had someone that I was enamored with, someone that I was pining over. Some bigger purpose or focus or person on which I could lavish my attention. Where’s the passion? The intensity? I go to work, I work, I come home, I make dinner, I work more…
Justin’s new apartment is about the same distance from the Division stop, as it is from the Damen (my) stop. So… he stays on the train and gets off on Damen with me. We chat a bit, and then he asks where we’re heading for drinks. :D Right about then, Gretchen calls. We decide to all meet halfway, and wind…
All day today, I had nothing to eat. Around 1 PM, Justin takes off to meet the cable modem guy at his new apartment. Ben and I work some more, mention going out for lunch… and the next thing I know, it’s closing in on 4 PM. By this time, I figure shit… it’s just as well that I don’t…
Well, this morning I showed Ben what I did over the weekend, and he seemed happy to see the progress. I think I surprised him, as he was only expecting a few components – and not 90% of the functionality. When Rey saw it, he didn’t seem all that enthused, but I guess the important thing is that both Ben…
I was up until 3 AM or so, organizing those pictures and updating the blog. Started out a bit after midnight, and time sorta got away from me. Next thing I know, I’m talking to a few folks online and ka-BLAMMO! It’s 4 AM. By the time I say goodnight to everyone, it’s 4:30. I read for a while in…
Alright. I’ve had nothing to eat all day save coffee. Around 3:30 or so, I hit the shower and run to the store to pick up supplies. To make Chinese Dumplings, you don’t really need all that much – a few things here and there. As someone who’s not a good cook, I think this recipe is fairly easy to…
*yawn* Of course, I’m checking WH links and updating this blog… instead of getting straight to work.
I have to say – I’ve never really watched Seinfeld all that much. Another area where I haven’t devoted brain space. But I know a ton of folks who have put in the hours for this show, as much as I’ve put in towards the Simpsons. This was the first I heard of a movie – and the trailer is…
