Met up with Chris, Leslie, Will, Mel and her friend Stephanie. We were all outside Margie’s, waiting for a table (I now realize that Margie’s has not yet made it onto the blog yet – for SHAME!). However, the wait got too long, and we decided to head back to Chris and Leslie’s new place….
On leaving work, I stopped to grab this shot. Technically, you’re not allowed to take pictures inside the Mart. I’ve been stopped a few times when someone’s caught me with a camera. Today, I just shot a few quick ones and quickly walked away.
Today, Kashif officially became a US citizen! He took his oath of citizenship earlier this morning, and here he is showing off his paperwork. He kept the whole process pretty low-key, but everyone in the office was quite excited for him. Way to go, Kashif!—–——–
This morning, as I was walking in I noticed a ton of umbrellas littering the main foyer of the Merchandise Mart. Looks like they were in the process of setting up some kind of display.
For those who are going to be around a radio or computer on Wednesday, tune into WLUW. It seems that Chelsea will beon air from 4-6 PM, spinning tunes all the while. Check out WLUW to stream the station if you’re near a computer!
Remember that $5 I sent to Vegas? Well, learn all about itsfate by visiting Mellzah’s journal entry.
Hung out with Chris and Will at the Pontiac, for a fewdrinks. Got into some deep conversations about being young professionals, and the seeming decline of genuine interpersonalinteractions (and the seeming rise of materialism and alcohol abuse).

As a sidenote, we’ve had this tiny scooter in our area for a few days now. I’m not sure who did it, but I think we stolethis guy from Promotions. A lot of us have been taking turns riding this thing, mostly from the back of the room to themain door.
Today, Matt ended up wearing the costume he wore on Friday in to work. I can’t tell you how much more enjoyable this made the morning.
The kids may have the ice-cream man. But they apparently also have the bicycle Repo man. Circle of life.
I’d like to point out that my cat, Harmony, has since crawled to thetop of my monitor, and is now asleep.
I fell asleep on the couch early last night. I’m talking like 8:30 PM. Next thing I know, I hear this mechanical-soundingCuh-Cuh-Cuh sound next to my head. And despite my being dead asleep, some inner part of me knows that sound as the precursorto my cat coughing up a huge hairball… and I’m jolted awake….
I’ve spent most of today picking up around the apartment, in preparation for my trip later this week. Ironically, I’m doing a key-swap later on, passing along Justin’s keys to Howard, so he can watch Nebula, and passing along my keys to Chelsea so that she can watch Harmony while I’m gone. I’m off to…
