On my way to my apartment, I noticed that a small space called Sound Gallery, (which up until now had been covered and hidden from public view) was open. Slightly drunk from Holiday, I walked in and took a look around. Next thing I know, I’m talking to both the owner and the guy who’s…
Currently, I’m listening to my friend Dave Fischoff’s album "The Ox and the Rainbow." If you haven’t checked out his work, I highly recommend it. There’s a few mp3 files over at epitonic.
After work today, I stopped in at Holiday, and got some drinks. I haven’t been to a bar alone in a long time, and this was an interesting departure from the norm. I had a bunch of my poems with me, which I’ve printed out, and basically just sat there for an hour and went…
This cabbie was nice enough to let us into his cab, outside the mart. Justin stopped to ask for a light for his smoke, and ended up talking to this guy (and his friend) extensively in Hindi for a long, long while. By the time we left, the cabbie said goodbye to me in Mandarin…
I’m seeing double here! Four smileys! Saw this on the inside of a parked moving truck, North Avenue. After looking at this a bit more, it seems like there could have been three different people who had a hand in shaping this image to where it is today. Alright. What the hell. This entry deserves…

The Gender Genie. It’s fucking broken!
I have a serious fear of heights, so it may not be surprising to find out that this is the first time I’ve been to the Sears Tower. Ever. Matt also expressed some concern, but we both wanted to check it out. I’m serious about this height thing. I avoid sewer grates. I have a…
After work, I met up with Matt, Juliet, Jill (Matt’s sister) and Ian (Jill’s fiancé). We all met up at the Thompson Center, and stuffed ourselves into a cab. We met up with MaryAnn right as she arrived at the front door to Cafe Iberico – what timing! Matt and I discussed how, the last…
They’re visiting. And what better way to celebrate Chicago than to go drinking at Artful Dodger? Matt and I chip in on a bottle of Corsendonk. It tastes better than it sounds. :| At one point, they played a game with me that they had played during the long drive to Chicago. They set up…
In The Goonies, when they get to the piano made out of skeleton bones… one of the girls has to play a small song written on the back of the map. Near the end of the song, she pauses because she doesn’t know what the next note is. "I don’t know if it’s A Sharp…
On my way home, I saw this guy’s shirt and decided to stop and comment on how much I liked it. I figured – what the hell, and asked if I could take his picture. After some hesitation (and how can you not expect hesitation, being solicited by a strange Asian guy asking if he…
jverbal got the linkup on k10k today. The site he made through his workplace (Monkey Clan) pretty much rocks. Check it out: http://www.jmnphotography.com/ And to top it off? The whole thing is XML-based; not counting the images themselves, the site (Flash and ActionScript) weighs in at 15k. You magnificent bastard! I salute you!
Nothing to really report today. I’ve spent my time loafing. Watched some movies and did some laundry. I know I haven’t really been around all that much online, these past few weeks. I’m not sure if I’m going out more, or taking time alone more, or what. Looking back on August, it seems like I…
September? Already? When did THIS happen?
