I saw this just down the street from me, on the corner of North and Wood. I’m mixed on my feelings about this. I like the reach of the message, as it’s one person trying to push their vision of the city out onto the world. But this particular message is tinted with an aura of sadness. At least, I’m…
I’m trying to have an early evening here. Part of me tends to get too wound up at night, and I’d like to see if I can make it to sleep at a somewhat reasonable hour. At night, I tend to get energized… but I never seem to remember how crappy I feel when I wake up in the morning…
Had a blast this morning, thanks to Matt (Tha.Riddla). We got a grand tour of the place, and spent a good long time talking with everyone and exploring the Intelligentsia warehouse on Fulton. I’m holding off posting pics until I can get some more from Justin and Ben, as I think they’ll have some better shots than me. Ooh, and…
We’ve got a tour lined up at Intelligentsia Coffee tomorrow morning! And it’s all thanks to Matt (Tha.Riddla), who’s going to give us the official dime tour. And, he promises, to get us all twitchy on the sauce. Oh you better bet there’s gonna be a ton of pictures.
I got Season 3, thanks to Ben and family. Woohoo!
Deb brought in a cake for Rey and Phil, as a way to celebrate their birthdays. Everyone had cake, cookies, and wound up telling some of the most morbid, gross stories I’ve ever heard while eating any kind of food. I’m not sure why, but after a while… it felt like we were havint some kind of gross-out contest. On…
After much anticipation, Ben’s camera finally arrives. He’s been wanting one for ages, and I can’t wait to see all the pictures he’s going to end up taking. I seem to be documenting when my friends get cameras. It’s all part of the rich tapestry of what I do here, on the blog. :)
Another reason why I love the Internet.
by Jonathan Holden When I bought bubble gumto get new baseball cardsthe B-52 was everywhere you looked.In my high school yearbookthe B-52 was voted “Most Popular”and “Most Likely to Succeed.” The B-52 would give you the fingerfrom hot cars. It laid rubber,it spit, it went around in gangs,it got its finger wet and sneeredabout it. It beat the shitout of…
I’m not sure when I came across . I first found his work after picking up the Morrow Anthology of Younger American Poets, about five years back. I still have yet to get a book of his poems (although I’ve picked up his book of essays a half dozen times, unsuccessfully). This one poem though (below) has stuck with me,…
Get back to writing. Stop dicking around and wasting time. Revise your shit, and get the poems you think are strong enough OUT and in the mail. Once that’s done, work on the next batch. And the next. Forget about the database part for now. Just get your shit in envelopes, slap on some stamps, and go. Just go.
I had an appointment today to meet with someone to do my taxes. The morning went rather slowly, but I rushed out around 1:45 hoping I wouldn’t be late for my 2:00 PM appointment. What I thought would be a quick hour turned into a drawn-out hour forty five. And I gotta say, there’s something unnerving watching your finances being…
Gretchen is reading some of her poetry at Quimby’s this Thursday. March 18th. 7:00 PM. :)
I was reminded that today is Pi Day! Happy 03.14 everybody! Man, when 2015 arrives, and the date is actually 03/14/2015, Mathematicians all over the world are going to go on some kind of wild, apeshit party binge. What’s that you say? Mathematicians don’t party? You haven’t seen any wild Euclidian geometry enthusiasts kicking their heels up? Let me tell…
