Ali G Indahouse

Went to go see an advanced screening of Ali G Indahouse tonight, with Justin, Stu and Juliet. It was nice to get out and laugh a bit, particularly after feeling crappy all day. Pretty funny stuff (although there was a good deal of homophobic humor). I was vaguely familiar with the Ali G character from…

Low Energy

It’s residue from the elections I think, this slow, sluggish feeling. Here’s a secret: yesterday was my first time voting. Ever. I’m a bit embarassed to admit that, but I’m happy I finally did vote. I really did feel that a lot of people in America were like me – distanced from politics, and not…

Workers there broke into an underground tunnel and flooded all of the basements in the Loop. I’m guessing these guys were checking on…

The Day After

Jim, in his Jesus Christ Pose. This morning, everyone is very slow. And very quiet. Hangovers abound. En route home, I stopped off to get some gas somewhere in West Ohio. The whole road was a bit desolate, and I noticed a small group of birds nesting at the top of this sign. This was…

Halloween, Muskingum Style

So it’s become sort of a tradition now, me travelling to Ohio for Halloween. I got a bit of a late start today (it’s roughly 7 or 8 hours from Chicago to Muskingum), and didn’t roll in until maybe 10PM or so. I’m greeted by Jim, getting his dance on. Matt, dressed as his own……

Operation: The Costume

I did this costume once before, when I was living in Columbus. But that was before the blog, and before Chicago. I’mgiving this costume another go, and took some pics this time around. If you happen to be in Chicago and see me – feel free to walk right up and try to get some…
