On the way home
This was sitting on the corner of the Damen/Milwaukee/North trisection (between Milwaukee and Damen). I happened to see that this was signed by Choke – who seems to have a lot of work around these parts.

On the way to work
Nothing is impossible. Everything is black and white.
Corpus Delicti
Got an invite from Chelsea earlier in the week to attend a show called Corpus Delicti. I was feeling the hermit thing this weekend, but MAN am I glad I went! What a great time! We met up at Penny’s, under the Damen Blue Line stop for some beer and Thai beforehand. Then, we jumped…
At the Office Early

Note
The poem (below) is from a collection by Ted Kooser called Flying at Night. This was the book that Matt and Juliet gave to me, back when I visited them. While I was there, I kept opening the book up to this page and reading and re-reading the poem. I love how easily Kooser seems…

Monitor Shopping
So, I’ve been thinking seriously about getting a new computer. The one I have is close to 5 years old. I bought it soon after my first official job, right when I moved to Chicago. While it does what I need, I’ve been lamenting how dated it is. It’s high time I upgraded, methinks. To…
Poems Back Up
Printed out my poems again, and pasted them to the walls. I need to start writing again. I need to start writing again. I need to start writing again.
Weird Sleeping Habits
This week, I’ve changed up my sleeping pattern. I’ve relocated out to the futon in the living room, and have been sleeping out here all week. The weird thing though? No alarm clock. Instead of relying on my alarm, I’ve allowed the sun to wake me up. And so far, I’ve been fairly lucky –…
Holy Traffic
Sweet Jebus, were there a lot of people around here today. I think so far, there’s been a little under 7 gigs of traffic, what with the ebaumsworld linkup. On average, I do about 6-7 gigs per month. At the height of things, when Netscape linked to me, I did about 80 gigs that month….
Hello, ebaumsworld!
After yesterday’s snub from Boing Boing, looking at my referrer logs tonight – I got a pretty huge surprise. It looks like I’ve been getting a ton of visitors from ebaumsworld! According to their links page, it was last updated 4 hours ago. Seeing as how it’s midnight, I’m wondering if my site will get…
Days with good sunlight
I think there’s a specific term used by photographers, to refer to that moment where the daylight seems to be just right. It’s somewhere around an hour after dawn and an hour before sunset, maybe? Something like that? Anyhow, this morning, the sky was clear and crisp, and the way the sun lit up everything……
