Sat down on the couch last night around 7:30 PM. Was kinda hungry. Woke up this morning at around 3:00 AM. Still sort of hungry. Walked to my bed and went right back to sleep. Woke up later around 7:00 AM. And kept hitting the snooze bar until around 8:00 AM. I’m pretty beat still….
I guess this is better than them not liking my work.
A few of us hung out afterwards, and helped break down the site. We packed everything into Rob’s car, and everyone planned on reconvening at Rob’s. I feel bad as, so far, I have yet to see Rob’s place. But I was completely beat, and planned on heading home to recover from the weekend. At…
At a few points later in the day, several folks from the Latino/Gospel show came by and invited us to join them. We all politely declined, but there were several jokes muttered under peoples’ breaths. This bugged me, and it took me a while to figure out why. I don’t feel I subscribe to any…
Got back into the city, and stopped off at Stanley’s for some veggies. Made some guacamole dip for the picnic, and trundled off to Humboldt Park (where, amazingly, I have never been). Gretchen’s having an all-day party in the park, and I headed off the join the festivities. Here’s what I was greeted with, being…
I’m going to guess that that wispy stuff was smoke from our cigars.
I was able to wake up early (needed to get back to Chicago for a birthday party), and before hitting the highway, I stopped by the graveyard again. This is a shot from roughly the same angle as last night. This is the grave where that shape was pointing to.
But before the wedding: a porn shop. I stopped off a bit after Kenosha to visit Melissa (Mellzah), who wanted to send a gift along with me for the happy couple. I haven’t seen her since the last big get-together extravaganza in Chicago, and although this visit was brief… it was nice to be able…
Spotted this on Wells, about 5 feet away from a You Are Beautiful sticker. Slow day at the office. Most everyone was either off on vacation or taking a personal day. Matt was in briefly, for the morning, and then it was just me the whole afternoon. Kinda good and kinda boring, truth be told….
Picasa: what a great little app! I just installed it today, after having seen a thread about it up for a while now. And I’m kicking myself for waiting! It’s nice to be able to see all my photos in one fell swoop. And it runs pretty quickly, with minimal stutter, and doesn’t seem to…
I loaned Justin my car today, and he drove it in to work to pick me up. Walking to where it was parked, we passed the Blommer Chocolate Factory. Now I’ve seen tanker trucks pulled up against the sidewalk here before. But I always thought they were delivering supplies or ingredients or some such thing….
This one wasn’t all that interesting.
How awesome is this? I found out today that the “Love Again” stickers I found last month are part of an artistic campaign (and not, as I feared, some sort of commercial promotion). Also found out that the website for this campaign literally just started. I’m looking forward to where this leads. Big thanks to…
When it comes to ambulances and emergencies and hospitals? The last thing I want to think about is the notion that tiers of quality exist. More thorough brain surgeons? Smarter nuclear missile silo operators? More accurate commercial jet pilots? Here’s a tip. If your company or service is responsible for human lives, try not to…
Sing in the shower. Seriously. I used to do this with more frequency. And many months have passed since I found myself standing under a spray of water and just singing. And you know what? It felt great. And I am convinced that singing triggers some sort of chemical thing in the noggin’ that just…
