I met up with Mary for a few drinks at Danny’s. We met here a few months back, when we were celebrating Christine’s birthday. I had a good time talking with her about art and the whole creation process in general. To my shame, I was apparently almost 15 minutes late meeting her, even though…
As I left Mary, Elizabeth and Elaina… I walked by the funeral home on Wood and Cortland. On the balcony, I noticed this huge, almost surreal Easter Bunny – the kind that’s inflated by a generator and lit from the inside. I stopped to take a picture of it, got out my camera, and just…
I was making my way to Danny’s, and as I was walking up Wood I came across the neighborhood Ice Cream Truck. Keep in mind now, this was around 7:50 PM. Believe it or not, I was actually happy to hear its playful jingle and got to see the thing up close and personal. I’ve…
I woke up this morning somewhat cold. Flipped on the television and saw that it was in the lower 40’s. Cold, right? So I hop in the shower, go through the routines, and by the time I walk outside I’m wrapped up in my winter coat. At some point before I step out, I check…
I’ve been unmotivated all day today. I have things to get done (for work), but the energy and enthusiasm simply isn’t there. Part of that is due to a lack of personal connection/interest in the subject at hand, but a bigger part of it lies in the fact that I’m working. On a weekend. Again….
I’ve spent most of today on the couch, recuperating. I woke up around 10 AM, got up, turned on the television, and stretched out on the couch. Let’s say that I spent the next several hours honing my skills at waking up. Lots of water, and though I felt crappy… it burned away fairly quickly….
After work, I met up with everyone for dinner (Chinatown) and ran back home to decompress. I got a call from everyone else (around ten-ish) and went back downtown to hang out. Lots of liquor, and a late night. I ended up strolling home around 3:30 or so. Sorry for the lack of details/pics. I’ll…
I’ve got some more pics, but ended up stumbling home around 2 AM and not updating. More later.
The name of the elusive tune is Popcorn! Big thanks to arigato, who named the tune in something like 2 minutes after I posted this question on twelvestone.
Ben has been going crazy trying to figure out the name of a particular song. Hementioned it to Justin, and Justin knew the tune… but was also unable to come up with either the song title or artist. It’s an early 80’s song, instrumental, and Ben associates it with thelimbo portion of the night at…
The world’s first fully automated domestic assistant? I’m not sure if this will be a hit or a flop. I guess we’ll find out in July.
Justin and I paused for drinks by the Artful Dodger, a local bar literally a stone’s throw from my house. He was waiting around for Emma to call, and we got to talking about work (of course), about music, concerts, the idea of buying land, and a lot of other stuff that made me happy…
I just found out from Justin that Múm is coming into town again! For anyone that wants tickets, check out the Empty Bottle’s site. They’re playing at the Logan Square Auditorium on June 26. Maybe this time I won’t get so drunk so fast. This was something I happily stumbled across. Pinback is a band…
