If the notes on your medication urge you to take it “with food” to prevent nausea, I strongly recommend you take those words as warning rather than instruction. Today, Liz and I had planned on an early start to the day. We were going to visit a vendor for our wedding, and had a few…
In light of the upcoming Super Bowl weekend, this seemed like an appropriate post to make. I saw this originally some weeks back, and added it to my “someday” list… and today seems like a timely day to post it up. For a while, I figured the yellow line was done by using two lights/mirrors…
WGN-TV news anchors Robert Jordan and Jackie Bange have a little routine they do, during their first commercial break. What began as a 10 second dance morphed into a fully choreographed 2:40 routine. Apparently, this happens each time they go on air, during the first commercial break. Hysterical. [via Gapers Block and Chicago Tribune] //…
It’s amazing how how routines just simply lock themselves into place, and the next thing you know… you’re doing the same things over and over again. It’s been almost two years since I moved to Logan Square, and I’ve been walking to the California Blue Line stop nearly every day for work. Panaderia La Central…
Running a bit short on time this AM for the blog stuff. But rather than post up nothing, I figured a quickie post instead. Below are five things that you may or may not know about me: I have a Master’s degree in Creative Writing, with a focus on Poetry. On my right hand, my…
Over my vacation, as I was working on the computer… I was listening to a lot of Rilo Kiley (Official Site | Wikipedia). I’m not sure who originally turned me on to them (I think it was either TJ or Masha). But I was looping the crap out of their “More Adventures” album, and really…
During lunch, I opened up the fridge in the kitchen and spotted this. Related:Spiderman Lunchbox
Liz worked in the kitchen this evening, baking up some mini-fudge cakes. This is an idea she had for the wedding, as a possible favor for guests… and was trying out the recipe. The process involves using three different molds, and then rolling the fudge in a small plate of sugar. Stack each piece, and…
I’ve been neglecting my RSS reader for a good while this week, and finally caught up. I happened to notice that there was a new Grow game, and literally shouted out my glee (and I was all alone, mind you). SO excited to share this. Haven’t played it much at all, but if any of…
On the last official day of my vacation, and I haven’t really been going out at all, really. Snapped a few photos from around the apartment. I’m seeing double here… four UPS trucks! While doing laundry in the basement, I noticed a ton of icicles all over the place. We had experienced a bit of…
Early last December, Allison brought in prints of her lates project: Vertical Cities. I had heard a bit about this project, as she had started skething things out over a year ago. It was exciting to see it realized, and in the Flesh… and I’ve been waiting for the chance to post the images here….
These photos are from Tuesday, when Justin held a party in honor of our new President, and to officially welcome folks to his new apartment. Nebula, tucked in to her little cave area. Later on in the evening, I was surprised to see her brave the crowds to wander around the kitchen some, ducking in…
This is more for me, than for you. While I wasn’t in DC attending, I wanted to remember the moment. Democrat or Republican, Obama being sworn in as the 44th President was a pretty significant event. The very act of a black man being sworn in as President makes me incredibly happy, and reminds me…
Interestingly, this is another post-apocalyptic-related post. Seems we have a theme today. From the writer of Go and Big Fish, The Remnants was a pilot that is apparently on hold. The thing that caught my eye was some of the names involved: folks like Ze Frank, Ernie Hudson and Justine Bateman. Funny stuff (and some…
I spent a lot of today just goofing off, playing Fallout 3. I remember a similar game from when I was a kid (entitled Wasteland), and really… who doesn’t love a post-apocalypse-fend-for-yourself-shoot-em-up game? I tried playing Morrowind when it came out (also by Bethesda), but couldn’t get into it. There was a lot of walking…
