Some Kid Made Me All Existential and Shit
This morning, it was cold. And grey. And drizzling rain. Walking down Honore, I came across a child’s sidewalk drawing. I walked by thinking how sad and futile it was, this act of creation that would (in a little bit) get destroyed. With enough rain, it would be wiped from the earth, and no one,…
Cafe Iberico
Mmmm. Justin’s folks are in town, and a bunch of us headed out to Cafe Iberico for an indulgent tapas meal. Two pitchers of sangria (one red, one white) and a boatload of food. Good stuff. This is my plate, right before we fall to eating (grilled octopus, olives, part of a Spanish omelet and…
Game Night
Chelsea and I had plans to hang out tonight and play video games. She brought over her PS2, and I have to tell you how much I now want one. So. Much. Fun. We started off the night eating some sushi at Pacific Cafe. I felt a bad about being super late when we had…

Surprise Bouquet
Ah, how awesome is this? I came into work today, and found this great flower bouquet from Matt and Melissa. They left a great card, thanking everyone for the tour of Q101, and for the Death Cab for Cutie tickets. Our little Interactive area just got a little purdier.
Recap
For anyone who might have missed some of the debates, this is a nice recap. Big thanks to persist for this link.
Matt and Mel
Matt (Tha.Riddla) and Mel stopped by the Q101 office this morning. I found out that Death Cab for Cutie was playing in the studio, and let Matt know. He had expressed interest in them to me before, and I offered to sneak him in for a listen. He and Mel stopped by, and we all…
More Read More
I spotted another of these Read More signs, posted on a pipe that’s near the Damen Blue Line stop. Lots of stuff here, along the stairs. I’m really happy to see all these Read More signs, cropping up all over the neighborhood. It’s really just someone who bought a bunch of generic name cards and…
Lost in Work
You Are Beautiful
Saw this while walking down Division. I stopped by Justin’s place, as he was home sick today. I dropped off his portable LaCie drive, as he needed some files he wanted to work with tonight. I hung out there a while, watched a few episodes of Family Guy, and headed home.
Dad’s Home
Not sure what this is, exactly. But it sure as hell rocks!
Breakfast of Champions
On a rare impulse, I decided to get some breakfast this morning. Specifically, breakfast from Dunkin’ Donuts. Not 5 minutes after I settle in to my desk, there’s an announcement over the PA that someone has brought in BBQ and it’s for the entire radio station. So around 9:45 AM, I dig in to a…
