4:25 AM

I lied about not doing any Mexico pictures. There are birds chirping outside, and the same beer that I’ve been nursing for an hour plus now seems oddly out of place, seeing as it’s damn near morning. *looks at clock* This is going to do wonders for my sleep schedule. *sips beer*

Not Sure Why, But Beer Tastes Better

… after an 18 hour work day. 3:13 AM here, and Ben just dropped me off. I’ve had a crapload of caffeine, so I’m going to try to get a few pictures up on the blog before heading to sleep. Unfortunately, I’ve had no time to go back to the Mexico pictures. Maybe tomorrw. Er……

Good Gourd!

Today, I got a package in the mail at work. Odd. I never really get packages at work. I wonder what it could be. WOOHOO! Awwww yeah! Maureen, Justin’s mom, made this for me. A while back, I leant Justin my car so he could go back home for a wedding. Out of nowhere, his…

Whew

I’ve been doing blog stuff ever since I got back home. Few hours now. I’m pretty tired out. Here’s a placeholder: Sorry to say, I don’t have any Mexico pics yet, but I did get through selecting and batching images from the first day. But I haven’t put anything in order yet, or written out…

Visitorville: Stats and Sims, together at last (thanks to StinkFist for the link). Not sure if I want to drop $30 just to try it out for a month, but it is awfully tempting.

Chicks!

Turns out they were born after all! Awesome. Sort of a blurry shot, but I was running late and I was blocking the stairs. Momma bird was nowhere to be found, but I did see the two kids. I’m happy to see they’re alive.

This Morning

I was walking down North Avenue, on my way to work. I had my iPod with me, and I found myself incredibly happy to be back in Chicago. I was literally strutting (STRUTTING) down the street. I felt great, and I attribute most of how I felt to how much sun I got over the…

Aaaaaaaaaand…… back.

Got back into town today, around 5:30PM. Man oh man, what a blast. I’ve got pics, but none right now at my disposal. I ended up loading all my images onto Justin’s laptop each time I filled up the card, and so I don’t have anything to post tonight. Pics are coming soon. Promise.

Mexico, Final Day!

*yawn* This is an awesome shot, taken by Justin. This really captures the feel of the street. Amaranto, view from the street. View up the street (North). View down the street (South). Everyone met up in Ben’s room, for a cup of coffee. Ben’s view. This room was so big, we all probably could have…

Mexico, Day 4

What the? How did this happen? Why is there sa…. oh, wait. That’s right. Feeling just… super. Justin and Ben, getting a little misty at the beautiful surroundings, and sharing a private moment. Justin talked to Marissa this morning, and the Sisters Dallas decided to join us on our trek out to Cozumel Island. Ben,…

Mexico, Day 3

We had most of the morning off today, with our meetings starting around 1:00PM. I woke up late and, after lounging around my room awhile, headed down to the pool. I met up with a bunch of Emmis folks and crawled into the water. All told, I spent about an hour, hour and a half,…

Mexico, Day 2

*INSERT MEETINGS HERE* All morning, we ended up meeting and giving talks. We presented our Content Management System to everyone, and gave an overview of how we envisioned the coming months. We’re looking to move everyone off of Dreamweaver Templates, and breaking down roles/permissions so that various tasks can be delegated and assigned. While I’m…

¡Vamanos!

I met up with Justin and Chris on the corner of North and Wood. Prepared boy scout that I am, I left my e-ticket at the office, along with all the other important info regarding where it was, specifically, I was going. After a brief discussion in the cab, everyone else convinced me we didn’t…
