Finally
After close to a year of having signage up and the interior ready… Chipotle is finally open near work. They’ve been advertising for a really, really long time. But it wasn’t until last week that Ben and I noticed it was actually open for business. Seriously – they had some sort of zoning permit hassle, or some such thing. For…
What the hell
I’m feeling severely unproductive tonight. I got home, and shortly after turning on the television… I fell asleep for about 30 minutes. Solid sleep. And since then, the rest of the evening, I’ve had this deep sense of negativity follow me around. It feels like wearing a heavy coat. And this is ridiculous. I have nothing to be sad or…
Reading Time
I’m two poems behind (Matt and I are on a schedule, where we’re sending one another poems every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday). I should be working on writing tonight, but it’s already 11:00 PM, and I’m not particularly in a mood to stay up too late tonight. Plus – I’d like to explore some of the books I just purchased….

Whew
Spent a lot of time today updating the pics from yesterday. It’s been a busy couple of days (and very image heavy, to boot).
Christine’s Birthday
To celebrate, we all started off the night with dinner at Papajin. Funny thing, since I had just eaten Papajin last night. But no matter – I couldn’t help myself. I ended up getting miso soup and sushi. Again. There were a lot more folks in attendance than show up in these pics (I felt a bit awkward breaking out…
Excerpt from My Life In Heavy Metal
by Steve Almond Josephine Byron chased me all through college. Nobody could figure this out, not her friends, not mine, nor the frat boys who watched her wag across the wide lawns of our school. She was one of those women invariably refrred to as striking, a great big get-a-load-of-that: gleaming black hair, curves like a tulip. Snow White refigured,…
Quimby’s
the awesome gift certificate I got, several months back. I had a blast going on a spree, and got a few items I’ve been wanting (and a few things I wanted to check out). The guy behind the counter was cool with me taking pictures inside. Though he didn’t want me to take his photograph, he did ask that I…
Sushi, Stu
On the way to Justin’s. At the bar, one of Justin’s favorite songs Yo La Tengo came on (I forget the actual title). When I mentioned that I didn’t really know their music, his jaw dropped and he looked at me like I had just taken a big crap on the table. When we arrived back at his place, he…
Rainbo Club
After work, Justin and I stopped in at the Rainbo for a few drinks. The interior of this place has changed (at least, the interior perimeter). Both of us were really taken with the decorations/displays. All along the room, there are these wire men. They’re obviously hand-made, and the amount of compulsion/time they suggest is staggering. On top of that,…
Note To Self
I need to redo all the Flash video stuff on here. At some point.
You Know It’s Funny When
Shortly after lunch, I grabbed one of Justin’s leftover pancakes, and threw it to him like a frisbee. At the end of the day, as Ben was leaving, he picked up some pancakes and started to chuck them at Justin who, in turn, was trying to catch them in his mouth. The second to last pancake smacked Justin on the…
It’s Peanut Butter Jelly Time!
Peanut butter jelly! Peanut butter jelly! Peanut butter jelly with a baseball bat! A quick shot of all that was brought in. Ben got this from Daniel, down at the Artisan Cellar (ah damn, no web page for them. One of these days, I need to go in there and take a bunch of pictures, so you all know what…
What Time Is It?
This morning, I set out to the grocery to pick up some supplies (note: this pic was taken later in the day, when I was at Justin’s apartment). A little backstory: some months back, a new restaurant opened up inside our building. On their menu, one of the sandwiches they offered was Peanut Butter and Jelly. When my coworkers and…
