What does a ninja have for lunch?
Why the spicy Ninja Combo, of course!
In honor of Ninja Day, I give you a ninja
:ninja:
Justin brought this t-shirt for me yesterday, so I of course had to wear it today. I think he got shirts for all of us, actually. :) What’s that you say? Real ninjas don’t need to advertise? That’s it. Tonight, I kill you while you sleep.
Note to self
The shit you were worried about last night? The work stuff? Guess what? You decided to not worry about it and go hang out with friends instead. And this morning, you looked over the code you were struggling with and figured the shit out. Nothing broke that couldn’t be fixed. There was no failure. There…
Beechwood Bar
I’ve been to this bar only once before (I remember shooting pool with Stu for some reason). Which is odd, since this place is like two blocks (if that) from where I live. I was working on whiskeys all night, and didn’t get ridiculously sloppy. I got to meet a few new folks as well,…
Guilty Secret #14
During the reading, I had a difficult time not thinking about how much I wanted to be in front of a crowd again, reading my own writing. It’s been close to five years since I’ve done anything like that, and the sheer magnitude of what my ego is lusting after is a little disconcerting at…
Reading at Quimby’s
Gretchen was part of a reading at Quimby’s this evening, one of a few authors related to the2ndhand. It’s been forever and a day since I’ve been to a reading, so I was excited on several levels. You can’t see it, but there’s a sizeable crowd behind this area. Where I was standing, I was…
Found Tagline
I saw this just down the street from me, on the corner of North and Wood. I’m mixed on my feelings about this. I like the reach of the message, as it’s one person trying to push their vision of the city out onto the world. But this particular message is tinted with an aura…
Slow Evening
I’m trying to have an early evening here. Part of me tends to get too wound up at night, and I’d like to see if I can make it to sleep at a somewhat reasonable hour. At night, I tend to get energized… but I never seem to remember how crappy I feel when I…
Intelligentsia
Had a blast this morning, thanks to Matt (Tha.Riddla). We got a grand tour of the place, and spent a good long time talking with everyone and exploring the Intelligentsia warehouse on Fulton. I’m holding off posting pics until I can get some more from Justin and Ben, as I think they’ll have some better…
Tomorrow, Caffeine
We’ve got a tour lined up at Intelligentsia Coffee tomorrow morning! And it’s all thanks to Matt (Tha.Riddla), who’s going to give us the official dime tour. And, he promises, to get us all twitchy on the sauce. Oh you better bet there’s gonna be a ton of pictures.
Simpsons, Season 3
I got Season 3, thanks to Ben and family. Woohoo!
Two celebrations, One Departure
Deb brought in a cake for Rey and Phil, as a way to celebrate their birthdays. Everyone had cake, cookies, and wound up telling some of the most morbid, gross stories I’ve ever heard while eating any kind of food. I’m not sure why, but after a while… it felt like we were havint some…
Ben’s Camera Arrives
After much anticipation, Ben’s camera finally arrives. He’s been wanting one for ages, and I can’t wait to see all the pictures he’s going to end up taking. I seem to be documenting when my friends get cameras. It’s all part of the rich tapestry of what I do here, on the blog. :)
