Shopping

Fun day today. My sister and I went out and about, shopping a bit. I splurged on a few things (got some CD’s, the third season of West Wing, and a Stephen King book). As far as music goes, I got an album by Jim Croce (mainly because I wanted a particular song that I…

Happy Thanksgiving!

Today was a day of eating and TV-watching. My aunt Angela, uncle Leon and cousin Christopher drove down from Chicago and are staying with us a few days. For lunch, we went to my parents’ restaurant and had dim sum. I spent the remainder of the day on the couch, flipping through channels. Cable TV!…

6 Hour Drive

Drove home tonight. And what normally takes me a bit over 3 hours (Chicago to Indianapolis) took me about six. Sweet lord, what a horrible, horrible mess the roads were. I didn’t take off until maybe 3:00 PM. And by then, the highway was jammed up. I was crawling at about 5 mph for maybe…

Updates

Stu and Juliet had their last night in Chicago last night. They’re off to Minnesota, then Africa, then Portland. Check out the pics. A lot of my friends have this bad habit of leaving Chicago. I’d like to just say right now: cut it out. All of you.

Goodbye Stu and Juliet

Stu and Juliet are leaving Chicago… and so a bunch of us gathered together to have one last hurrah. Of course, what better place to celebrate, than Cafe Iberico? True to form, we employ the Cafe Iberico ratio, which has become one of the mathematical axioms we all abide by. Note that Stu is throwing…

audioplayer updated

I’ve uploaded three new songs to the audioplayer (on the far right). Figured it was about time. When Katie was visiting on Thursday, she ended up sifting through the songs on my iPod as she was waiting around for us all to go to lunch. At the end of the day, when I picked up…

Thinking Machine 4

This is a great little java app that visually represents the computer’s thought process as it determines chess moves. Cool, cool app. Check out some of the images, as well as the proposed Thinking Table!

Staying In

I gave a call to Chris tonight, and left a message asking about the show. I haven’t heard back from him, so it looks as though I’ll be staying in tonight. My best guess is that things are really hectic on his end, what with the 12 people visiting from out of town and all…

Lazy Day

I had big plans for cleaning the apartment, but Hoosiers came on the TV. It felt like a great Saturday afternoon movie to watch, and so I sank into the couch with my pillows and a thick comforter… and passed an idle few hours. Chelsea stopped by mid-afternoon. She collected her Playstation 2 that she…

Spontaneous Texas Holdem

So I’m walking home from Clubfoot. It’s like 1 AM. I’m walking down Damen, and right by the Pontiac, I see Will walking towards me with his hand extended. We shake hands and compare notes on how our nights have been. I tell him about Clubfoot, and say that I’m on my way home. He…
