A Day Out in Logan Square
Today, Liz and I had a plan to just go out and about. To get out of the house some, and to just make a day of being “out” – something we don’t really do much of.

Mousepad Replacement: TNG
I saw that Liz got a new mousepad in the mail today. When she pulled it out from the Amazon package, and put it down next to her old mousepad… I nearly broke a rib, laughing.
Daisy Falls Asleep in My Hand
The audio is tough, so you’ll really need to turn things up a lot to hear it. But I think you can catch just a little bit. At the end, she wakes up and pulls away… but it’s still a win to me, because I got to hold her as she was sleeping. Just for a little bit.
Love Like Salt
“It lies in our hands in crystals
too intricate to decipher”
Bunny Night Visit
I’m starting to wonder if this is actually a guy, and possibly more a gal. And if there’s a warren nearby somewhere. This bunny seems to be very present in our yard in the evenings, and occupies the same spot.
Twin Tacoma: Go Careful
“Stop taking polaroid pictures
Said the memories
Are good enough
You always knew the right words to say
When the hard times caught up”
Running into Profanity
This is graffiti at its purest. Unadulterated, indiscriminate rage. With a modicum of attention to penmanship, to ensure the message gets through.
Wisteria vs. Sign
Liz and I were walking to breakfast this morning, and we passed by the large Wisteria that’s slowly taking over a street sign near us.
The Bunnies Return
Nothing quite compares to the amazing show we got back in July. But we do have some small hawks in the area, and there’s at least one cat that prowls around. So there are a few things that could go wrong for these little guys.
Matisyahu: Crossroads
“I’m sky scraping
They stay chasing
I’m like a raisin in the sun
I’m running from death’s invasion
They’re done, I’m going gray
I’m still young having mystic visions
Of the one, I hear the hum, the melody comes”
Starting to Run
It’s still the first week, but I’m trying another Couch to 5K program. The first week is pretty basic: run for 60 seconds, walk for 90 seconds, and repeat. At the start, I thought it would be too easy, but at the end of the first day… my lungs were burning a bit.
One-Minute Time Machine
While both actors are great, I think it’s the editing that really shines in this video. And it’s the editing that makes it so enjoyable to watch.
Revisiting Saintseneca
The part that I really wait for, the part that I keep coming back for… kicks in at around 9:00. A big part of it I think is the dissonance and slight chaos that happens, before everyone comes back together. I’m reminded a lot of Shudder to Think in this respect.
Outdoor Dinner with Mark and Anna
We had a delicious meal, and got to sample a lot of whiskies. Post dinner, we headed inside to hang out for a bit in their living room. Having a bit of a dessert, and catching up some more.
Dim Sum with the Hutte Family, Sending Jasmine to Loyola
The Hutte family was in town for a big event: sending Jasmine off to college.
It’s incredible to me, mind boggling really… that Jasmine is now going to be off on her own. To me, it wasn’t that long ago that we were hanging out for the first time. It feels like she had just met Harmony the cat a bit ago. And that she just recently figured out how to eat a birthday cake.
