Slow Evening
Watched Matchstick Men (which a few folks at work mentioned), and liked it. I’m not a big fan of Nicholas Cage (I’m not sure why I’m not, I’m just not), but I didn’t mind him in this movie. In fact, I didn’t have the adverse reaction I tend to have when seeing him in a film. Spent some time tonight…
Day, Version 2.0
On waking sometime mid-afternoon, I realized the miracle that is the nap. It’s like getting a whole new day for free! I started some laundry, cleaned up the place some and stepped outside. I did a bit of reading, and sat on my porch awhile.
Insert 4-hour Nap Here
Early Breakfast
After about four glorious hours of sleep, I wake up Dustin and Tyler for some breakfast. I try to convince them to head to the Bongo Room, but Hollywood ends up winning out instead. Both of them are a bit worse for the wear, but by the time we finish our meals and coffee, they seemed to pick up. The…
Partytime
I have more photos. But this sums up the evening fairly well. I’ll try to update this tomorrow. :)—–——–
Dustin and Tyler
Dustin (a3dmofo) and Tyler came down to visit an old friend of theirs, who’s throwing a housewarming party. They stopped over at my place, and the three of us hung out for the afternoon. We ambled over to Sultan’s Market for some lunch/dinner (Mmmmmm falafel), and ate our food in Wicker Park. While we were there, we ran into Chris,…
Rejection Letter
One down, a bunch more to go. I’m not terribly disheartened by this (I’ve gotten rejected plenty of times prior to this year’s submissions). It’ll only be bad if every single place I sent to rejects me. Nothing to do but wait. Which, for the record, still sucks.
Fat Willy’s, Kill Bill
After work, Chelsea and I went to see Kill Bill, Vol. 2. Right before the movie, we stopped off at a small Rib joint across the street, Fat Willy’s. Holy crap, was that place good! The two of us split an order of fried shrimp, along with some mac and cheese. Fantastic food. From now on, whenever I head here…

Pacmanhattan
A player dressed as Pac-man will run around the Washington square park area of Manhattan while attempting to collect all of the virtual “dots” that run the length of the streets. Four players dressed as the ghosts Inky, Blinky, Pinky and Clyde will attempt to catch Pac-man before all of the dots are collected. Using cell-phone contact, Wi-Fi internet connections,…

Hair of the Dog
What’s the best thing to do, after a night of heavy imbibing? Why, head out to a bar after work, of course! Had a good time, despite dragging all day today. Justin and I hung out a good while, and had a great time just joking around and enjoying the great weather outside. Whoever was pouring shots tonight at Pontiac…
Ugh
Was up late last night, over at Liz and Steph’s place. Got home around 2:30AM, and then got sucked into some stupid, fascinating programon PBS, so I didn’t really get to sleep until around 3. This morning, I rolled out of bed, slapped on some clothes, and made my way in to work. I debated calling in, but the more…
