Whew!
Got home around midnight. Since this morning, I haven’t been home. With the addition of waking up early this morning, today has been one tremendously good, long, busy day!

Swing and a Miss
Taking a brief aside here. Around this time, I walk back to get another drink at the bar. Everyone’s crowded the stage and, when I try to get back to my spot… I wedge myself sort of halfway between two rows. Half behind one guy and sort of blocking the guy behind me, I decide…
Happy 3rd Birthday, Found Magazine
Found Magazine celebrated its third birthday tonight, and had a small shindig at the Empty Bottle. I had met Jason a few times through chicago friends, and had actually first heard of Found some years back through some online friends (via infourm.com). Funny how these paths intertwine. It was hotter than shit in this place…
You Are Beautiful
Spotted a new one.
Lorenzo. I miss you. Love, Mel
Justin and I hung out at his place after work. We walked up to Division and Damen, dropped off some videos of his and picked up a six pack of beer. On the walk back, we happened across this sign: Later on in the night, I found out from Chris, Eric and Will that there…
Filter wins
I sat down and was looking to jot some notes down for a poem. I was reading a bit, but eventually got distracted by everything that was going on outside my window. So I ended up jotting down notes about what I saw, and watched the city instead. Looking out the window, I saw my…
Wha? Who? Huh?
Apparently, I fell asleep last night on the couch. I was watching an old-school documentary on PBS comparing real, rarely seen animals in nature with supposed mythological creatures. Falling asleep to PBS documentaries is a rather pleasant experience, I must say. It’s the waking up that’s the odd part. When I checked the clock, it…
Zzzzzzz
Slow Evening
Watched Matchstick Men (which a few folks at work mentioned), and liked it. I’m not a big fan of Nicholas Cage (I’m not sure why I’m not, I’m just not), but I didn’t mind him in this movie. In fact, I didn’t have the adverse reaction I tend to have when seeing him in a…
Day, Version 2.0
On waking sometime mid-afternoon, I realized the miracle that is the nap. It’s like getting a whole new day for free! I started some laundry, cleaned up the place some and stepped outside. I did a bit of reading, and sat on my porch awhile.

Early Breakfast
After about four glorious hours of sleep, I wake up Dustin and Tyler for some breakfast. I try to convince them to head to the Bongo Room, but Hollywood ends up winning out instead. Both of them are a bit worse for the wear, but by the time we finish our meals and coffee, they…
Partytime
I have more photos. But this sums up the evening fairly well. I’ll try to update this tomorrow. :)—–——–
Dustin and Tyler
Dustin (a3dmofo) and Tyler came down to visit an old friend of theirs, who’s throwing a housewarming party. They stopped over at my place, and the three of us hung out for the afternoon. We ambled over to Sultan’s Market for some lunch/dinner (Mmmmmm falafel), and ate our food in Wicker Park. While we were…
Rejection Letter
One down, a bunch more to go. I’m not terribly disheartened by this (I’ve gotten rejected plenty of times prior to this year’s submissions). It’ll only be bad if every single place I sent to rejects me. Nothing to do but wait. Which, for the record, still sucks.
