Power Packing

After washing some clothes and throwing them into the dryer, I sat down on the couch for a bit. Apparently, I sat down too far into the couch, because I woke up at 3:30AM. After rubbing my eyes and muttering the word shit about 30 times, I started getting ready. I was expecting to get…

Transferring…

It’s 1:59AM. Earlier tonight, after charging up my iPod, I tried to get all my music onto the thing. As it turns out, I’ve got a LaCie portable drive that I carry with me everywhere, that has pretty much my life on it (work files, poems, music). Each time I tried to copy my music…

Jessie Visits

Jessie, a friend of mine from way back in college, was in Chicago for a Book Expo. I’ve known Jessie now some… let’s see, ten years now? Back when I was an undergrad, I had a terrific crush on her (having first met her in a poetry class, if memory serves). We fell out of…

Jessie

Tomorrow, I get to see my friend Jessica. Who I haven’t seen in something like 5 years, all told. Maybe more. I’m going to be super exhausted come tomorrow evening, but I’m so looking forward to our dinner together. Woohoo!

Rejection Letter

Columbus folk – anyone else get this type of letter from Atlanthic Monthly? Is this their generic rejection letter, or should I actually believe the copy here? Because I’d really like to believe the copy. :)

Half Full or Half Empty?

I grabbed this on my way up the stairs to the train. It looked to me like the mama bird got her eggs eaten, there being only an empty shell nearby. But when I got home and looked a bit closer, I’m not sure if the eggs hatched, instead. I’ll have to take a peek…

Went in to work again today, around 11AM. I was struggling more with my Flash navigation for our Content Management System (hereafter known as The Mothership). I’ve been working on this thing for a long while, and kept banging my head against what has turned into some fairly involved AS code. All afternoon, I kept…

Drinks++

After work, I called up Steph and she agreed to go out with me for a drink. The two of us hung out at the Artful Dodger for a while, and threw down a few. A bit later, Liz joined us (after having hung out with her dad for the night). I had a good…

O Coffee, Where Art Thou?

Around 4:20 PM, I headed out looking for more coffee. Earlier, I asked the girl behind the counter at Starbucks what time they closed. She told me 5PM. When I wandered over… I found the doors locked, and saw people still standing behind the counter. Despite my Disney eyes, they kept the doors closed. I…

Caffeine++

Everything around work was closed down, and so my only option was to hit a Starbucks around the corner. On the way there this morning, I happened across a few stickers. Not sure what these are, but here you go: Phonograph ScientistsMonstrum Sepsis On the way back in to the mart, I saw some workers…

En Route to Work

Got lazy this morning, and hopped a cab to work. Riding down the Kennedy, I decided to try to snap a shot of the skyline. All day today, the weather’s been weird. Cloudy morning, thunderstorms at noon, clear skies and sun all afternoon, and thunderstorms again all night.
