by Philip Larkin Love, we must part now: do not let it beCalamitous and bitter. In the pastThere has been too much moonlight and self-pity:Let us have done with it: for now at lastNever has sun more boldly paced the sky,Never were hearts more eager to be free,To kick down worlds, lash forests; you and…
I’ve been having problems sending out emails for the past week or so. That, and I just sat down tonight to reply to a few folks who wrote me from like last week (I’m usually better about responding, but I just haven’t had the chance to lately). I think my ISP may have switched things…
As a farewell meal, we all went up to Hema’s Kitchen in Rogers Park. Wonderful Indian food. As usual, Justin ended up doing the ordering for us and brekaing out the Hindi. Group shot, post meal. Surprisingly, I handled the spicy stuff fairly well (although there was one plate that totally kicked my ass). Dessert!
It means to be extremely drunk. :)
Tori was kind enough to host the party at her place, and there was a ton of amazing food and drink: cheeses, fruit, bread, olives, wine, scotch. A veritable feast! Linda, Jenn and Tori, choosing definitions. Did I mention that, as the person who chose the word… you also have to read out all the…
Ballsdurdash is a game that we made up, that sort of plays off of Baldurdash (but uses the Slang Dictionary instead of a real one). Basically, the game goes like this: One person chooses a word from the Slang Dictionary. He/She then announces the word, and everyone else has to come up with a definition…
After lunch, there were tentative plans made to hang out later in the evening (and possibly a game of Ballsdurdash™. Dave. Justin, Alex and I decided to wander around the neighborhood (Lincoln Square) for a bit. Brownie Troop 336 has some mean illustrators! Just in case you didn’t know… this is a bat. Stopping in…
For lunch today, all of us headed out to Hot Doug’s (The Sausage Superstore and Encased Meat Emporium). This was my first ever time, and after what I had… I can’t wait to go back! I showed up with Justin and Dave. Notice that there’s a HUGE line stretching around the corner. We got into…
Hung out at Justin’s tonight, with Alex and Linda and Jenn (who I believe I met during the wedding). No pics from tonight, as we all just hung out and gabbed for a good while.
Many weeks back, Ben, Justin and I all combined our skills and helped build a new website for Stu. Definitely check it out if you get a chance (Stu’s photos are amazing). But I’m also curious to hear some feedback, particularly on one known issue that I’ve yet to reproduce. Every once in a while,…
In addition to it being a an official stein game, the coveted Darth Vader Light Saber was also up for grabs. One big game – winner takes all. Truly, a nerd’s bounty here. Alex is in town for a few days, and decided to join us for the match. Tonight was his first time ever…
I’m a big fan of the Simpsons and all. But come ON. Ernie and Bert should be… nay, NEED to be next to each other. What is this world coming to?
Wow. I had a lot to drink last night. Feeling… rough.
Tonight I met up with Alicia (of Audible Frequency fame) at Santullo’s for dinner. We had been planning a meeting to talk about possible collaborative prjects for some time now, and finally got together tonight. We’ve been emailing and talking through IM a good deal prior to, but it was quite nice to meet her…
Ok. So these grates are right off the Blue Line, Clark/Lake stop. They’re on the east side of Wells, if you head north from the Blue Line entrance. Over the past two plus years, I’ve noticed that the concrete lining the sides of these grates has started to crack. At some point, I’ve started to…
