Amazingly, some candles were still going in the morning (and hadn’t burned down all that much). The lounge area quickly turned into the pass-out area. Cold pizza and Johnny Walker. Lovely. A quick shot of the rather odd carpet decoration. Going one way, the words “Never Hurt” were spelled out. Outside, HOB. Craig, who stayed…
After an all-too-brief nap, Abby wakes me up and we head out for a bite to eat. On the way home, we stop off tobuy a crapton of booze for the party, and begin the process of loading up for the hotel. On the way out, I spotted the local ice cream truck, something that’s…
I checked in to the hotel shortly after 3 PM, and took a quick peek at things. Desk and cabinet. It’s kind of hard to get a full sense of the room – but it’s sort of like two rooms connectedtogether. Seating area – which definitely made the space feel big. Bathtub. Or, in our…
Shortly after Abby arrives, she relaxes a bit at my apartment while I go and meet up with Gretchen. A long while ago, Gretchen and I talked on the phone. This was after a few emails back andforth and… we kept on talking. Via email, via IM, we became good friends – trading stories and…
Big day today. Took work off, and I’m meeting a ton of friends who are coming in to town to help me celebrate my32nd birthday. First up – my friend Abby, who decided to take the Amtrak up to Chicago and spend her spring breakin the Windy City. I first met Abby when I went…
Thanks to Bryan for the Photoshop work!
So this box arrives today for me, and everyone crowds around my desk as I open it. The thing is light, and no amount of shaking gives me any indication as to what’s inside. The box itself is about the size and shape of a paperback anthology book, and I’m utterly baffled as to what’s…
Jane got me a box from Koo-Ki Sushi, filled with all sorts of yummy (and beautiful) psuedo-sushi goodness. It’s Chocolate! Man, this stuff was good. Everything here is chocolate (or candy of some sort), even down to the fake fish sauce and dollop of wasabi. Seriously – they were amazing to look at, and amazing…
Driving in to work today, I spotted this license plate. I debated for a while, then scrambled to get my camera out to snap a pic. Today’s car though, has nothing on this vehicle I spotted, a few years ago. In my mind, both vehicles belong to some husband/wife Treekie couple. And their kids all…
Thanks, Mellzah!
Today was Rey’s birthday, and we all decided to get him birthday cake as a surprise. We hid the thing by Ben’s desk, and then crowded around pretending to be looking at some funny video on the web. The plan was, when Rey would come by to see what all the commotion was… we’d part,…
Me and Justin out in front of the mart, as taken by… someone in the office. I found a bunch of surveillance-like photos on my camera, after I got home from work. If you thought the blog was voyeuristic before… here ya go.
Cleaned the apartment some more tonight. Living room mostly, and so it’s the bedroom and office area left to be tidied up. Going to be a bit of a race to the end, I think. Just found out that my folks are stopping in to have lunch with me, on my birthday (tomorrow). And. AND!…
I realize it’s been slow around here lately. Tonight, I spent a good hour going over all the photos/videos from the past few days. I’ve processed all the media, but haven’t had the time to do proper entries. So it’ll have to wait. This coming week is going to be a bit nutty. I’m already…
