Now all I need is to find a pair of pants…
Seeing as how I already found the shirt.
Stubborn Bunnies and Sweat Stains
Got a call from Liz after I got home. After painting her cage, it turns out Baxter refused to go back in. Liz had been there for over 2 hours, trying everything she could, to no avail. And, Murphy’s law being what it is, of course Baxter went back in as I was driving over…
Justin’s Move
On arriving, Justin had most of his items already moved over. I think Dave and Gretchen were helping him out during most of the day. We cleared out some items from his basement, and the three of us loaded up two cars to caravan over to the new place. Between me, Chrisand Justin we were…
Liz’s Move
Right off the bat, things start off poorly. We show up at the truck rental place (Liz got a good deal on a truck through Royal, a friend from work). But when we’re there, we discover that they require proof of insurance before they’ll give us the truck. Liz’s card is in her car (which…
Pre-Move Moving
last night, Liz and I drove to Frankfurt to switch cars. She left her car there, and we took her step-dad’s truck back to the city. Today, the two of us took the day off from our respective jobs and spent it loading/packing boxes. All in all, we did about two full trips, and spent…
Driving down to Frankfurt
Chronon
Chronon is a new game over at eyezmaze.com. I’m a total fan of this site, and am crazy about a lot of the games – specifically Tontie, and any of the Grow games (Grow v. 3, Grow Cube and Grow RPG). Brilliant stuff. Check out the site if you have some time you want to…
A Joke That was One Year, Five Months and 28 days in the making…
First, some background information. Let me take you back to October 27, 2004. Ben was working from home, and he had sent out a group email indicating certain materials he needed from some of the folks in the office. And me? Well, not being one to take directions very well… I responded in the only…
A Day of Publications and Media Attention
How cool is this – my friend Gretchen made the cover of the Chicago Reader. I’m a bit late in posting the announcement, but you can take a gander at her writing/piece online. I don’t have a good photo from the event, seeing as it took place in Berne, Switzerland. But my friend Matt (aka…
It’s *NOT* what you think…
Tonight, while at my place, Liz was looking at my bookshelf. When I asked her what she was looking at, she said: “Dirty Found?” I pulled out the magazine, and tried explaining how this wasn’t what she thought. Not technically. :P I figured this was a good chance to mention Found Magazine again, and how…
Scooter
Tonight, I ended up riding as a passenger, on the back of Liz’s scooter. I found myself pretty anxious for the first few trips, and after talking things through… I think I figured out why. Mostly, I think it’s a control issue. I respond poorly to being told what to do, or to having someone…
X-Men 3: Pre-Screening
Thanks to Jeanine at Q101, I was able to score a few tickets to the pre-screening of X-Men 3. Liz and I got there right at about 6:15 (the movie started at 7). By then, we were already near the end of the line, if you can believe that. We were told to get there…
Tyger
Tyger is a pretty fantastic short film by Guilherme Marcondes. Definitely worth the download – do try and check it out (via Ektopia). And for those of you thinking about Blake right now… swing back a few years, and check out the poem.
