AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA FUCK YOU, I WIN

God dammit. I’m fucking good at what I do. I just need to say that, for myself. I was going to knock off for sleep around midnight. But work stuff was nagging at me in my head. I’ve been working on this bracket dealie in Flash. So far this week, it’s been full of meetings…

Come on in… don’t mind the mess

Today, I passed along some .fla files to a coworker in New York. We’ve got a new webmaster named Keith working on the HOT97 site. He’s got an impressive body of Flash work under his belt, and they’re planning on doing an apartment giveaway, a la the UltraCrib giveaway that Chicago’s Q101 did, this past…

Crazy Woman in a Fur Coat

Trian stop this morning. I was walking up the stairs briskly until I almost ran into a woman taking each step very, very, very slowly. It sounded like she was talking to someone using one of those fancy hands-free phones. She had on a grey fur coat, so I assumed she had money enough to…

The Romance of Magno Rubio

Chicago folk! I got an e-mail from my friend Lloyd, saying good things about this play. Check out Victory Gardens Theater. I haven’t been to a play in Chicago yet (shame shame). Perhaps now is time for me to take one small step forward. :)—–——–

Editing

Sorry – not much for you this evening. I’ve been going over poems, doing some slight editing. Actually, I’ve been going over the group that I’ve labeled “strong,” and I still don’t feel fully confident. At times I feel like I could probably spend the next few months just editing and reworking all the poems…

Breath mint? Anyone?

All day today, I’ve felt crappy. Residue from last night. Haven’t had whiskey in a long while, and it stuck around in my system longer than I cared to have it. In fact, it stuck around on my breath as well, this morning, despite a good toothbrushing. Ben made sure to give me a hard…

Danny’s

Justin, Kent, Dave and I all met up at Danny’s. We talked a good long while about what’s been going on in our lives. Work. Love. Art. You name it. There were some rather sinister/evil/fun plans made for my birthday, but we’ll see how far they progress. Dave and I talked a good deal about…

Later…

I made it to about 9:00 AM. And then conked out on the couch again, waking up around 1:30 PM. Right now it’s 5 (good GOD, 5 already?). I’m sipping on some coffee, doing some laundry, and have designs to go over some of those poems from yesterday. Listening to Nick Drake. I’ve got the…

Late Night/Early Morning

When I woke (at 4:30 AM), my head was still aching and throbbing. I’ve been updating this blog for about an hour and a half now (6 AM, currently). Thankfully, mercifully, at this point my head has stopped hurting and I can concentrate a bit more. As I was updating, my head became clearer and…

Bucktown/Wicker Park

I dipped briefly South of North Ave, but the bulk of my travels took me North of where I typically walk. I explored the streets north of Armitage, crossed over Damen, and wandered around until I hit Milwaukee again. Here’s what I found: More notes scrawled on the city. I saw the remains of a…

A Late Start

Today, the weather was pretty incredible. Warm, 50’s, and a good, strong sun overhead. Lazy me, I didn’t get out of bed until late, and by the time I stepped foot outside, it was close to 2:30 PM. Still, I covered a good bit of ground, all told. My goal today was to just wander…
