Early today, Liz and I were driving around (in my car). I decided to swing us by her car, so she could survey the damage and figure out what to do. A few days ago, I noticed a sticker on the car saying that it needed to be moved as it was considered an abandoned…
Met Liz at the airport this afternoon, and we spent the remainder of the day hanging out. Guess who got an awesome present from his awesome girlfriend? That’s right – an actual hula girl, that dances around. This baby’s going on my desk at work. Everywhere, folks are outside. Even along Division, the shops have…
Today was one of the lengthier rides I’ve had on Liz’s scooter – up Ashland near Wrigleyville. It’s probably the same distance as it is to my work, but this was Ashland. Fairly busy, but fun nonetheless. On arriving, I found Southport all blocked off, and had to turn to a side street. After parking…
I saw a post on BB about the new Democracy Player, and decided to download it to check it out. Pretty neat stuff, from what I’ve seen so far – it’s a free Internet TV app that combines the best of all worlds: open source, bit torrent, rss, etc. Mostly, I’ve downloaded music videos (partly…
Saw today that the Music Box Theater website got a (much-needed) overhaul. Awesome! In glancing over some of their upcoming shows, to my delight I saw that the’re showing a ton of Warner Bros. / Bugs Bunny cartoons. I didn’t make it today, but therre’s another showing tomorrow at 11:30 AM that I’m thinking about…
I was slated to help Michelle move into her new apartment today, but it turns out today was the easiest_move_EVAR. I guess some of her friends stopped by during the week last week, and they did all of the heavy lifting right there and then, moving the bed, armoire, etc. When I showed up today,…
On the way home (I dropped Nuanda off near his place, and gave and Megan a lift back), we stopped off at the Green Eye for a quick, post-dinner beer. As we were sitting down, I realized the we were at the same spot (and the same table) when we were here for New Year’s….
Got an invite from Matt and Tracy to have dinner with them at Udupi Palace, a vegetarian Indian restaurant on Devon Avenue. I was debating taking Liz’s scooter, but wasn’t sure if I wanted to trek all that way. Mostly, I’ve been doing short trips (going to work is about as far as I’ve taken…
Just starting this week, Nattaporn joined our group as our newest deeveloper. I guess, right now, it’s time for me to re-count all the “first photos” of everyone. Sandra joined our group a while back, but she didn’t want her photo on here… so I don’t have her. But I do have nearly everyone else’s….
Last night, I started watching The Matador, and ended up getting sucked into it. You know the weird thing? I saw the trailer for this movie on TV months and months ago, and I thought it was terrible. The trailer, that is. After seeing it, I thought to myself: whoever made that trailer needs to…
I miss Liz.
I’ve been meaning to post this for a while now, but just never got a chance to. Several weeks back, I was listening to NPR in the morning – in the bathroom, as I was brushing my teeth. A piece came on about Nicole Buffett, the granddaughter of Warren Buffett; this was shortly after he…
Kind of nerdy, but I thought this was rather interesting. This afternoon, I logged into my MySpace account, and was given a prompt to download the latest Flash plugin. Now, keep in mind – they were asking me to install the Flash 9 player. Which has been out for a total of like 20 days…
