Found Art Finds Me
Yesterday, Ben borrowed my camera for a photo shoot he was working on with his boys. It felt a little weird walking around with my LaCie drive in my pocket (it’s normally tucked into my camera bag). It also felt a bit weird to not have my camera on my person…not that I saw anything…
To the cute girl who was at the Damen Blue Line stop this morning, around 9:10 AM
This morning, I remembered to grab all my bills so I could mail them. When I dropped them off into the mailbox at the end of my street, I walked another 50 feet before remembering I had forgotten my wallet. Backtrack. Then walk back. Needless to say, I was a bit late today. But lo…
Justin
I’m thinking Friday. I’m thinking the end of the work week. I’m thinking no requirements, no stress, no to-do lists. I’m thinking booze and blindness. What do you think?
Groundhog Day!
Justin has been considered “underground” the past few months, where his sole task has been to work on developing a company-wide Content Management System. Truth be told, he’s only really gone underground in the past few weeks, and has still been fielding a lot of requests that keep him from the tasks he’s supposed to…
Breaking Up
The Chicago River was a surprise this morning, particularly since it had been frozen up a few days ago.
Your Guess is as good as mine
Sunday Ritual
Most Sundays, if I take out the trash I tend to keep on walking down my alley to the local coffee shop. Part of it is due to habit, and another part is due to me just figuring it’s an efficiency thing. As long as I’m out, I might as well grab some coffee as…
Juliet…
You rock.
Part of an email from Juliet
Underneath all of that, it’s still there, the desire for a book on the shelf, for being able to say what’s in my mind and having it come out true. More than that, I want to count myself among the ranks of people who kept me company when nobody else did. Meaning, authors. Authors talked…
As Reference
Check out a drunken phone call from Matt and Jim.
Not Quite Late Night Drunken Phone Call
I got a call from Jim, Meg, Matt and Juliet. They sounded like they were on the cusp of drunkenness, but still somewhat in control. As Matt put it, they wanted to get their call out to me before it got too late. The best quote I heard was from Jim: Was that a real…
Motivation or Egotism?
Tonight, I’ve spent my time looking over old poems and reading them out loud. There’s no real audience, unless you want to count me reading them for me. I like hearing the words sounded out, and when I come across a poem I’m particularly fond of I’m often try to read it out loud. I…
Meh
Apparently, the windows in the kitchen that I thought I had sealed are like sieves. I ended up covering those with plastic as well, and I think my apartment is finally somewhat winterized. Haven’t done much tonight – just putzed around at home, and worked on the blog. Whatever was looming over me this morning…
Cold Cold Cold
This is the Chicago River, mostly frozen over. There was a neat circular patch, and I damn near froze my fingers off fiddling with the camera.
