Walked to Blockbuster and got some movies. I had grand designs on cleaning up the apartment, but that looks like it’s going to get pushed to tomorrow. A potentially bad week next week, work-wise, which might account for my tendency towards inertness this weekend. We’re heading to Mexico in June (woohoo!), but there’s a lot of crap to be done…
After dinner, Justin and I met up with Chris, Eric and Will. We decided to rent a movie, bought a bottle of Johnny Walker Red and hung out at Justin’s house. Justin shows off some of the books he purchased at Quimby’s earlier, and breaks out the Chris Ware. Capturing the Friedmans. Holy god, what an incredible documentary. What a…
Ben, Justin and I decided to grab some food after work (it was close to 7PM by the time we left). As we were leaving, Ben got a call from his wife, who was back home visiting family in Iowa. As it turns out, she was in a basement all day due to the crazy storms and tornados that were…
Today, our new business cards were slated to arrive, at 5:30 PM. Ben, Chris, Justin and I all waited around. And waited. And waited. It got to be around 6:15PM, and after some phone calls… we discovered that the package had supposedly already arrived at about 4:30 PM, and was in the station somewhere. After some digging and asking around,…
God. It’s like the stickers are reproducing. :)

Tony is visiting us again, and after work we ended up going back to the Shamrock for some drinks. After that, we headed over to Bob Chin’s for a rather indulgent meal. This is only the second time I’ve ever eaten there… and man, is it good (mmmmmm…. garlic bread).
For lunch today, we headed across the river to Chipotle (who, surprisingly, has a great web site). Well, we crossed the river as soon as the bridge came back down. It’s nice to see that other people enjoy watching the bridges go up, and the ships go by. Today, there were tons of people lined up against the rail, just…
Check out Matt, who has been publishing like it’s his job lately.
Well, I had a ton of pictures to go through, and it’s taken me… jeez, about two hours now, to get everything posted and updated. Check it out: Out and About, May 16Jam Session, May 17
I’ve spent most of the day today at home, in my little office area. I ended up calling in to work and decided to work from home today. Got a good amount of progress down, and didn’t have to worry too much about interruptions. Working from home is a nice pace. More time to concentrate, and more time to relax…
by Philip Larkin Closed like confessionals, they threadLoud noons of cities, giving backNone of the glances they absorb.Light glossy grey, arms on a plaque,They come to rest at any kerb:All streets in time are visited. Then children strewn on steps or road,Or women coming from the shopsPast smells of different dinners, seeA wild white face that overtopsRed stretcher-blankets momentlyAs it…
