Notes

On the train this morning, I stood next to someone that I got fixated on. The way the guy had his hand, I just got drawn to it and really should have taken a picture. I’m not sure if my poem does the image in my head justice. As soon as I got to the surface, I took out my…

My Mother Comes From The Days

by Yehuda Amichai My mother comes from the days where they madepaintings of beautiful fruit in silver bowlsand didn’t ask for more.People moved through their liveslike ships, with the wind or against it, faithfulto their course.I ask myself which is better,dying old or dying young.As if I’d asked which is lighter,a pound of feathers or a pound of iron. I…

Like A Pirate Except

From: JulietTo: FelixSubj: toe story Hi Felix. Last night I broke my toe.It was sticking out sideways from my foot. It looked sort of like this: One of the nurses asked me, ìAre you sure you werenít on drugs when you kicked the chair?î The doctor taped my pinkie toe to the one next to it, gave me ibuprofen and…

Grey Day

Regular work day. Nothing out of the ordinary, or terribly exciting. I did go out on my lunch break to the bank, hoping to get a temporary ATM card so I could withdraw money. But when I got there, I saw that they were closed due to Veterans’ Day. Ah well, I got a nice walk in, and took a…

Whew

It’s a wonder I stayed awake long enough to even post this. I had half a mind to throw in the towel about an hour ago, and just update this thing tomorrow. *pats belly* I ate my share today, and then some. Oooooh lordy. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m late for a meeting between my ass and my bed.

The List

I felt this needed to be documented. Anymore, I’ve started into the habit of forming a list that gets passed around. This helps organize things, but it also prevents us from double-ordering items (unless we know we want double helpings). Yes, my friends employ this system. Yes, I think this is nerdy. Yes, this is yet another reason why I…

Kind Of A Loss, But Not Really

One scary thing that happened: when the bill came, I went for my wallet and found that… my debit card was missing. :( Looked and looked, but it either fell out of my pocket somewhere, or I left it in the ATM machine this afternoon. I’m usually good about remembering to grab my card (never "lost" it anywhere before), but…

Iberico, Ho!

Settling into a meal at Cafe Iberico, with a bunch of friends. I met up with Kent and Christine, Justin, Emma and Dave. Unfortunately, Stu was planning to join us but had to cancel last minute. This whole meal, by the way, was made possible by an incredibly generous gift. Two suits of armor nearby. I immediately thought of Bedknobs…

Damien Jurado @ Shubas

For a long while, I debated on whether I was going to attend this concert, or just stay home. I’ve been out and about a bit more lately, and really wanted to just hole up in my apartment. But… the idea of seeing Damien Juado again was too good to pass up. So I hopped a cab, and made my…

Lots of Errands!

Spent most of this morning running from place to place. Started off at Target, ran to petSmart, Home Depot and Stanley’s. I went around to several big-name places, but winded up getting very little done. I spent part of today trying to seal up windows/doors, and getting things winterized. Before I knew it, it was time to go see Damien…

After Work

Justin and I decided to go see Kill Bill, Vol. 1. We got to the theater early, and ended up hitting a nearby Barnes and Nobles to kill an hour. I didn’t really read much, and spent most of my time checking up on old, favorite authors, trying to see if they had anything new on the shelves. I refrained…

Good Day

Justin and I had a nice breakfast at DeMar’s and spent the rest of the day… well, at work. But we were working on a personal project that we both discussed a few weeks back, while we were out at the Artful Dodger. Today, I got to walk through making a database from scratch, and setting up several tables. Justin…
