Katie: Last Day at Q101

Today was Katie’s last day, working with Fook. For about an hour and a half, I hung out with the two of them, just sitting in the studio and watching/listening. Watching Fook move was almost dizzying – he’s someone who definitely has the multitasking bit down. In addition to talking on the phone to callers, he was switching CD’s, adjusting…

Whew!

Long day. Got a fair amount done, but there’s a good bit of work yet to make this whole bracket thing pretty. I’ve got a problem posting my variables to an ASP page that Matt created, but I don’t know if I even have the energy to ask for help on that just yet. Matt and I were working late,…

3:56 AM

Alright. So here we are again, second night in a row. :) But I’ve gotten a lot done so far, and I’m pretty proud of my progress. Ah damn, the initial high I had on completion (some fifteen minutes and 5 testruns ago) has since faded. I’d better try to sneak some rest before dawn kicks in. Goodnight! Er… morning….

Midpoint

Right now, I’m not sure if it’s in my best interst to just go to sleep or try to stay up and work. Before you immediately suggest sleep, there are pros and cons. And don’t get the wrong idea here – I love sleep as much as anybody. I got back home tonight at a decent hour, and promptly turned…

Alex! Linda! Married!

I can’t recall if Alex told me this over the phone, or if I just found this out tonight on Blogpickle. So I’ll cover both bases here. Alex and Linda, this is for me finding this out online: And now, this is for you both: Can’t wait for the big event!

Blogpickle

I got an e-mail from my friend Lloyd today, and found out he’s started up a group blog. Being a playwright, Lloyd’s got a good sense of the word (read the e-mail he sent me about his thoughts on Goonies and Corey Feldman). Here’s an excerpt: Hey you two, remember that conversation we had about getting a big group of…

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU, I WIN

God dammit. I’m fucking good at what I do. I just need to say that, for myself. I was going to knock off for sleep around midnight. But work stuff was nagging at me in my head. I’ve been working on this bracket dealie in Flash. So far this week, it’s been full of meetings and phone calls and I…

Come on in… don’t mind the mess

Today, I passed along some .fla files to a coworker in New York. We’ve got a new webmaster named Keith working on the HOT97 site. He’s got an impressive body of Flash work under his belt, and they’re planning on doing an apartment giveaway, a la the UltraCrib giveaway that Chicago’s Q101 did, this past year. While Keith is fully…

Crazy Woman in a Fur Coat

Trian stop this morning. I was walking up the stairs briskly until I almost ran into a woman taking each step very, very, very slowly. It sounded like she was talking to someone using one of those fancy hands-free phones. She had on a grey fur coat, so I assumed she had money enough to afford such a device. After…

The Romance of Magno Rubio

Chicago folk! I got an e-mail from my friend Lloyd, saying good things about this play. Check out Victory Gardens Theater. I haven’t been to a play in Chicago yet (shame shame). Perhaps now is time for me to take one small step forward. :)—–——–

Editing

Sorry – not much for you this evening. I’ve been going over poems, doing some slight editing. Actually, I’ve been going over the group that I’ve labeled “strong,” and I still don’t feel fully confident. At times I feel like I could probably spend the next few months just editing and reworking all the poems I have (let alone writing…

Breath mint? Anyone?

All day today, I’ve felt crappy. Residue from last night. Haven’t had whiskey in a long while, and it stuck around in my system longer than I cared to have it. In fact, it stuck around on my breath as well, this morning, despite a good toothbrushing. Ben made sure to give me a hard time about it, compassionate and…
