Spent the night tonight hanging out with Liz and her longtime friend Ashley, who was in town visiting. I don’t have any pics of the evening, as I just never really felt right taking out the camera at any point. We had some dinner at Smoke Daddy’s, grabbed some gelato, and then had beers on…
I’m not sure how I feel about including YouTube content on the blog, but here’s me dipping my toe in the water. Came across this gem via MetaFilter, and all of us at work seemed to like it. So much so that Ben gathered $2.50 per person, and ordered up the DVD. I hope, by…
I’m talking specifically about the Yahoo! banner on the left, advertising their video section. Examining this graphic, I’m not really all that enticed to submit my work over there. When I look at that guy, I don’t hear him saying “You have star potential.” I hear him saying “You. Fellate me on my casting couch….
Hung out in the back of Happy Village for a bit, and grabbed a drink with Liz while watching the sun set. I don’t know the bartender’s name, but she had the pitching arm of a champ. One drink turned into two. I really like the feel of the backyard area. There’s ping-pong inside, but…
While in the front yard today, talking with my landlord Ted, he asked me how my electric bill was looking. “Fine,” I said, unsure of what he was talking about. At first, I thought he meant to ask whether my electric bill was high due to all the power tools being used around the yard…
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…
