Felt like staying in tonight, and just pulling the hermit thing again. From the sounds of it, Justin’s got some bad ex-girlfriend mojo going on right now. And I wonder if that’s not the thing that had its hand on my shoulder last night. We were talking a bit on the phone, and I found…
by Ted Kooser Today my ducks are eating windfallsunder the broken Jonathan tree—nine white Pekins laughing like nunson a picnic, rolling the apple aroundin the grass with their orange bills,having the time of their lives. Nothing escapes them. Near them,a red leaf rides the long grasswith a papery rattle. A sweat-beedeep in an apple sucksthe…
Ok – where has my head been? Ted Kooser has been our Poet Laureate since last August, and I’ve been oblivious this whole time. Jebus. And the only reason I know this? He recently won the Pulitzer for his collection Delights and Shadows. And I’d like to take a brief pause here, to point this…
This is one of the many reasons I absolutely love the Internet. Big thanks to Knevel for finding this gem of a video.
Since I stayed up late last night catching up on the blog, I thought I’d try to see if I could do this whole “advance” thing. I’d like to see if I could get a day ahead, so that this thing isn’t always in the past tense. Sort of cheating I know, but hey –…
Not sure why, but I’m feeling totally crappy right now. Sad for no good reason at all. It’s not a crippling sadness, but a general unhappiness with something… I apparently can’t identify. This sucks. I’d like to shake it, but I don’t even know what it is.
Google Maps. Try entering in your address and zooming in. Then, click that “Satellite” link in the top right corner. Clear some space in front of you, for when your jaw drops.
Ok. I’ve been bad the past few days. Here are some long overdue updates: 04/04/2005 04/06/2005
This is a bad pic, but one of the few I have of the rest of the evening. I bought some Guiness and Harp on the way to Justin’s, and we were working on some Black and Tans prior to dinner. Justin and Stu got some potatoes going, some stuffed mushrooms, and we grilled up…
Got a call from Liz and Steph tonight, asking me out for a drink. I originally said no (as I was planning to head over to Justin’s for dinner), but ended up stopping by for a quick round prior to. I also met Charlie tonight, who happens to be Nikki’s boyfriend. I’ve met Nikki more…
Got this great gift from Justin, as a thank-you for looking in on Nebula a week or so ago. Awesome!
It wasn’t too long ago when Kashif first stepped in to our department. But fast forward a few months, and I’m excited to say that he’s now officially a part of Emmis Interactive. Woot! Today, he stopped by Justin’s apartment to discuss some things, and I stuck around just long enough to get a photo….
Decided to get out of the house today, and walked over to Division to meet up with Justin and Stu (who’s in town again for another photo gig). Took some photos en route. Not sure how this guy got up here. Are Tazmanian Devils indigenous to the Midwest? Signs of springtime (influenced by eccesignum). You…
What in god’s name happened today? I felt queasy all day, to the point where I couldn’t even eat lunch. I don’t think I went on that bad of a bender last night, but apparently – something happened. Too much to drink? Did I catch Tracy’s cold? Did the chicken tamales from the Tamale Guy…
