Sadly, after work today was a going-away party for Anthony. He’s worked with Emmis for about 10 years, and is leaving his position as webmaster for both Q101 and The Loop. Sad, sad day. We all met up at a place called Uncle Julio’s, and watched the day turn into night over Coronas and margaritas. Chris, Ben, Justin (hidden) and…
I know I’m backlogged on images from the past few days. But since Sunday, I’ve been out and about. Went out last night, played poker tonight, and I’ll be out again tomorrow night. When my social schedule picks up (which, apparently is what’s happening now), it gets easier for blog updates to fall into the background. Gaah. I’ve got so…
Me, Will and Donna (who I just met tonight) were over at Chris and Leslie’s place this evening, for some pizza and poker. Talk of Star Trek, as well as the difference between anteaters and aardvarks dotted the night’s conversation. It’s been a long while since I’ve won a game of poker, and I’m happy to report that tonight I…
Headed to Justin’s place, post-work, to geek out about some code/pages he’s been working on, and to catch a few drinks. Moving to iceland? It’s not like it hasn’t been considered before. Read read read. Howard and Justin, enjoying some fresh tamales with their drinks. Me and Howard, Rainbo club.
Guess who got a slick Canon Digital Rebel? Sweet! Since I took a photo of his last camera, it only seemed fitting I do so again today.
Not sure what this was about. There’s a “Pest Control” store across the street on North Ave, so maybe a few employees are protesting? Seeing this reminded me of Robin Williams’ joke about taking little kids to Disneyland, and how Mickey Mouse to a five year old is simply a six foot fucking rat.
Back home now, and pretty exhausted. I may watch a bit of TV, but I doubt I’ll be awake much longer. Which bodes well for tomorrow I guess. I’ve got a little bit of work to get done before the workday starts. That, and I’m also the donut boy tomorrow (if you’re late on Mondays, your punishment is that you…
A long while back, I got an invite to go canoing from Gina, a friend of my friend Kim. Today was the big day, and I woke up pretty early to do all my shopping. The night before, I made a big list of stuff to get (sunscreen, water, food, etc). Ran around all morning getting everything I needed, and…
Early morning tomorrow. Gonna run some errands first thing, pick up Will, and then the two of us are driving a solid hour and a half to Wedron, IL, for a nice 12 mile canoe trip. Off to sleep!
About a month ago, I helped with a small portion of a show at Open End Gallery. Many months prior to this, I met up with You Are Beautiful and kicked around some ideas for collaboration. We came up with the idea of having stickers with “I AM” printed on them, allowing visitors to fill out the rest. I, for…
My server’s been all wonky today. Off and on all day. I was planning on doing some more development work tonight, but since I can’t upload files or test them online, I’m calling it an early night. Sent in two different trouble tickets to my host, with no response back just yet. I’m writing this entry locally, but I guess…
I drove over to pick up Chris for an impromptu lunch at Hot Doug’s today. Snapped a photo of the hangers in the front entryway.
My friend Gretchen sent me this pic today, after seeing yesterday’s Fun Slides adventure. I can’t think of a more appropriate picture.
