I should have taken a shot of the wall, prior to the sketching… but Artisan (the place where I get my coffee) commissioned a guy to do a few murals on their walls. This morning, I saw the preliminary outlines of the thing… and I’m hoping to document the process. Seeing as how I grab a redeye here every morning…

On walking out my door, I saw this balloon fluttering around on the other side of the street. Without thinking, I had my hand in my camera bag and began walking across the street (almost forgot to look for oncoming cars). The 5 year old in me is perpetually fascinated by balloons. I always seem to notice them after the…

I still haven’t been able to get to the pictures/entries from this weekend. I’d rather spend a bit more time, instead of just rushing and trying to quickly summarize (and gloss over) everything. I had a blast the past few days, and I want to make sure I do this weekend (and my memory) justice.

I’ve been having problems sending out emails for the past week or so. That, and I just sat down tonight to reply to a few folks who wrote me from like last week (I’m usually better about responding, but I just haven’t had the chance to lately). I think my ISP may have switched things on me. Not sure what’s…

As a farewell meal, we all went up to Hema’s Kitchen in Rogers Park. Wonderful Indian food. As usual, Justin ended up doing the ordering for us and brekaing out the Hindi. Group shot, post meal. Surprisingly, I handled the spicy stuff fairly well (although there was one plate that totally kicked my ass). Dessert!

Linda, Jenn and Tori, choosing definitions. Did I mention that, as the person who chose the word… you also have to read out all the definitions out loud? This means…

Ballsdurdash is a game that we made up, that sort of plays off of Baldurdash (but uses the Slang Dictionary instead of a real one). Basically, the game goes like this: One person chooses a word from the Slang Dictionary. He/She then announces the word, and everyone else has to come up with a definition for the word. Each person…

After lunch, there were tentative plans made to hang out later in the evening (and possibly a game of Ballsdurdash™. Dave. Justin, Alex and I decided to wander around the neighborhood (Lincoln Square) for a bit. Brownie Troop 336 has some mean illustrators! Just in case you didn’t know… this is a bat. Stopping in to The Book Cellar. Interior…
