Weekends, I tend to combine my errands. I take out the trash and then walk down to Gallery Cafe to grab a coffee. Before leaving, I had a brief debate on whether I should bring my camera. I decided I wouldn’t see anything interesting, and left it. On walking down the alley, I spotted this and ran back inside to…
Pics from last night are up.
Fun time at Clubfoot. Justin and I geeked out and talked computers for a while. Then I threw some quarters down on the pool table, and we waited around for a game or two. The two of us were admiring the DJ (and swooning just a little bit). One of the songs she played was Jim Caroll’s Friends Who Died,…
Hopped a cab over to Justin’s (partly because it was cold, partly because I was running late). When I showed up on the porch, I could hear his music going pretty strong through the door. I knocked, and decided to snap a picture as I waited. This was the first substantial snow we’ve had in Chicago this year. There were…
Justin called me up about 20 minutes ago and, when I answered he said “Where are we going tonight?” I tried coming up with some lame excuse to stay in, but a part of me wanted to go out it seems. Looks like we’re headed to Clubfoot for some drinks. I’m all grungy from running errands and cleaning the apartment…
by Billy Collins I love the sound of the bone against the plate and the fortress-like look of it lying before me in a moat of risotto, the meat soft as the leg of an angel who has lived a purely airborne existence. And best of all, the secret marrow, the invaded privacy of the animal prized out with a…
I saw this guy on my way to get coffee. On seeing him, I was trying to figure out what killed him. Was it the cold, and the approach of winter? Did he fall out of a nest? Or, does his proximity to the building suggest that he saw something in a window and dove for it, striking the glass…
Didn’t feel like going out tonight. I tried to muck around a bit on the computer, thinking that I might get something done with that route, but honestly… my focus isn’t there. nothing really seems to catch my attention. So yeah. I may watch some TV (maybe there’s a good nature documentary on PBS). Or try to do some reading…
Every year around this time, the Sales Department hosts a big shindig of a breakfast, for the entire station. Here’s a shot of Ben (in the back) and Nick, serving up pancakes and omelettes. There’s always a big line for Nick’s cooking, and eveyone leaves their ingredients in a bowl with a post-it and their choice of cheese. This year,…
Had a fun night hanging out at the Artful Dodger with Liz and Steph. I was showing off my new camera, and got the two of them to take a self-portrait. Lots of fun conversations tonight, and I found myself laughing a ton. Always great to kick back with the two of them and throw a few down. Every time…
Ben sent away for a new RC car battery, which arrived today. I’ll be charging this thing up and, if all goes well, we should have some more video to post in the near future.
Currently, at work, there are innumerable tins of chocolate and candy, sitting around. On top of that, Rey brought in a coconut pound cake his wife Chrissy made… which was freaking awesome. There’s too much to eat at work, all the time. Tomorrow it’s just going to get worse – wait and see.
Watch out for Pac-Man!
I feel like, since I’ve taken so many photos of this place… I may as well keep documenting the whole process.
This is some pretty weak shit, right here. From the looks of it, you peeled off the two side stickers and then maybe slapped on the middle sticker yourself? Merry fucking Christmas to you too.
