This is something I’ve been meaning to post on here for a while now. This is a site that we launched recently at work: Who’s Next Online. Basically, this site gives you the ability to listen to mp3 files that other people have posted, of their own music. It’s a hiphop focused site, and anyone…
From: WillTo: FelixSubject: The West Wing If unnatural love for the West Wing is wrong, then I don’t wanna be right! —–——–
Post-movie, we all went our separate ways. Chris and his roomies all headed home; me, Justin, Stu and Ben all stopped by Danny’s for a quick drink. After hanging there a bit, we meandered over to Lava Lounge, and had a few more. This is totally weird, but… of particular note was this amazingly candid,…
Ok. Holy shit – go see Kung Fu Hustle. I guarantee that you’ve seen nothing like it. Hysterically funny in a whole different way that you’re probably not used to. If I had to categorize it, I’d say it’s a slapstick Chinese comedy, with a hell of a lot of action thrown in. I haven’t…
Can’t. Stop. Watching. West. Wing. In about 30 more minutes, this will cease to be some kind of “quirky” affinity for a television show, and start to take on a problem that may actually require intervention by friends and loved ones. I think I’ve watched 3 episodes, straight through. Gonna see if I can get…
I walked up Damen and stopped in to Filter to grab a cup of coffee. There, at the trisection, I came across two guys working an incredibly ancient camera on a tripod. I got talking with them, and learned that the camera they’re using is a really old WWII camera (that uses 16mm film). On…
Chris and I said our goodbyes, and headed out towards Elston. Outside the gallery, I caught the eye of this cute girl who was inside and… I really should have said something, in retrospect. I didn’t really have anything more elegant than “wow you’re really pretty” in my head, so I just kept walking. This…
Foundation Gallery, entrance. A few materials by the front door. It was kind of cool to notice that Bail magazine was here, as was a You Are / I Am book. I’t’s kind of nice – and makes me me feel like I’m hanging around the right group of people, and everyone’s plugged into the…
I got an email from my friend Matt today, letting me know about a show of his at Foundation Gallery. Turns out that today was the last day, and when I mentioned this to Chris, he seemed interested in going with. My intent was to just hoof it down there, and walk down Milwaukee Ave….
Headed out to Clubfoot with Justin tonight. I should have known by my initial reactions on walking into the place that it wasn’t going to be that great (or long) of an evening. I barely sipped my drink, and after an hour or two, I started to get fidgety. I think I have a mild…
I bought Season 4 of The West Wing today. It’s like I now have my own vial of crack around the house. I’m still amazed that, as popular as this show is, it’s only got the crappiest of websites. For people like me (who don’t really watch all that much television), I’d actually visit more…
Felt like staying in tonight, and just pulling the hermit thing again. From the sounds of it, Justin’s got some bad ex-girlfriend mojo going on right now. And I wonder if that’s not the thing that had its hand on my shoulder last night. We were talking a bit on the phone, and I found…
by Ted Kooser Today my ducks are eating windfallsunder the broken Jonathan tree—nine white Pekins laughing like nunson a picnic, rolling the apple aroundin the grass with their orange bills,having the time of their lives. Nothing escapes them. Near them,a red leaf rides the long grasswith a papery rattle. A sweat-beedeep in an apple sucksthe…
Ok – where has my head been? Ted Kooser has been our Poet Laureate since last August, and I’ve been oblivious this whole time. Jebus. And the only reason I know this? He recently won the Pulitzer for his collection Delights and Shadows. And I’d like to take a brief pause here, to point this…
This is one of the many reasons I absolutely love the Internet. Big thanks to Knevel for finding this gem of a video.
