Chris mentioned this show to me a few days back, but I waffled and wasn’t intending on going. Today, I got a last-minute invite (turns out he had an extra ticket, thanks to Leslie), and I was debating all morning whether or not to go. I went against my usual, homebody nature… and went with…
I didn’t take any pics of this today, but we had a quick, impromptu Holdem game during lunch. Everyone got ten chips, and we played a speed game. Mike ended up emerging the winner and, to my and Ben’s shame, we were both beaten by the Dolly Parton hand: a nine and a five. Unsuited,…
Here ya go. Maybe that will pass an idle moment or two.
I took like one picture today, but it didn’t do much for me so I deleted it. Nothing much today to report. After work, I came back home and spent some time sifting through a bunch of old photographs. My intent was to get a submission together for Gapers Block. Fun stuff, as I got…
After sampling some chili-infused lollipops at a Mexican grocery store near his place… Ben has developed a bit of a jones. Today, his package of Mexican candies that he ordered arrived, and he was kind enough to share some of the goodness with everyone. The lollipop I had (mango) was good, but ended up being…
Today, we had our divisional quarterly conference call. Among the many topics we hit, we also named the recipients of our 31 Lengths Award. For those of you who don’t work for Emmis, let me explain this award a bit. In 1973, Secretariat won at the Belmont by an unprecedented margin; 31 lengths separated Secretariat…
That’s… that’s a lot of freaking hair. Here’s me, post-haircut. Unfortunately, what I was hoping to avoid… happened. I feel like I got this bob thing going on. It sort of feels like I’m some cross between a skater dude and Prince Valiant. Maybe it’s just me needing some time to get used to the…
Today marks the first day of NeoCon, a convention for furniture designers and interior decorators. I think. Everytime I see the name of this thing, I get all aggravated that they chose such a shitty name. NeoCon? New Convention? It seems like the most vague, imprecise name they could have possibly come up with. At…
It’s somewhat early here (10:34 PM), and I’m debating what to do. Part of me wants to just plop on the couch and read some more of The Tipping Point, by Malcolm Gladwell. Justin and I bought the book together, when we were at the store last week, figuring this could be something we’d both…
Met up with Justin and Chris at Filter, and ended up hopping a train from there to the Siskel for the Found Video show (sponsored by Found Magazine). . En route, we met up with Chelsea who, it turns out, was on a train ahead of us (and spotted us on the platform). She got…
I was talking with my friend Dave on the phone today, and he mentioned hearing my voice on the radio recently. Turns out, it was part of an NPR piece focusing on Alicia and her life. It was surprising to hear about this from Dave, as I had just been looking over some old emails…
Jeez. Do you read this thing like every single day? Hehe. I’m just messing around.
la Pate a Son: I’m not really sure how to describe this, so I’m going to suggest you visit and give it a try yourself. Don’t forget to turn on your speakers (link stolen from Ektopia).
Sweet Jebus, I’ve done nothing all day but sweat. Woke up super early this morning, got in my car, and it started. I’ve felt drenched all day. But no more! I ran errands this morning and got a ton of stuff – a nice drill and a big honking fan. Today, I decided, was the…
