Tried the early thing, but only got one day updated. You’d think this process would be faster, seeing as how I’ve got shortcuts in PS for most of the image-related work. But it’s the organizing and recounting of events that seems to eat up the most time. One down. Slowly, bit by bit.

I’ve let almost a week slide by, and I’ve got a massive backlog of updates. Quite possibly, this is the most backed up I’ve ever been, that I can recall. It’s been a busy few days, and this weekend… any free time I’ve had I spent it cleaning up my apartment. My sister and cousin…
Liz recently bought some curtain ties. Is that what they’re called? Ties? Holders? I dunno. Whatever they’re called – they’re things that hold the curtains back. However, she didn’t care for the color, and set out to spraypaint the petals a darker shade (Colonial Red was the color, I believe). We had a fun evening,…
Today is another half-day Friday, where some of us get to work from home (we alternate weeks, so that there’s always a set number of folks in the office, in case of emergencies). This morning is a bit unique though, as Chris and I have plans to talk about games. We’re working on making a…
Saw some pretty neat videos of Erik Mongrain, especially the ones where he plays the guitar from his lap (a la Jeff Healey). A cool style of play for sure, but I’m pretty wowed by the sounds he’s able to produce, both from tapping and pull-offs (and from an acoustic, no less). My favorites are…
Came home today to find a ton of folks working in my yard. Turns out, Ted is totally and dramatically re-doing the front lawn, and hiring on a ton of folks to give it a total makeover. I’m not talking just cleaning the place up – I’m talking an improved brick walkway. Tiled patio area….
A week ago, Liz was talking about swinging by the Taste of Chicago sometime, during lunch. Well – today, a few of us jumped on the El and made or way over to Grant Park for some food and a bit of sun. Allison and Chris, heading towards the entrance. We were hoping to go…
Open door, en route. It’s been a long while since Justin and I have just hung out, shot the shit, and caught one another up on our respective lives. We talked a good deal mostly about work, about tech (of course), and most importantly – the women in our lives. Justin was in a really…
A few months back, Abbey and her mother visited Chicago, and I got to hang out with them at Cafe Iberico. Got a surprise in the mail today from Abbey – a nice little “thank you” gift for dinner from that night. Yeah! I’ve heard a lot about this book (and all the goings on…
Coffee. It’s just coffee.
