5,000,000 Photos from WWII

I’m not sure exactly when, but Monday is when evidenceincamera.co.uk goes live. On the site, there will be some 5 million Royal Air Force photos of Western Europe (including photos of the D-Day landings in Normandy. Thanks to epohs for the link to the site, and the Yahoo article.

The whole day. Wasted.

I grabbed some blankets, some pillows, and set up camp near the television. I found a late episode of NOVA, and even then, watching TV, I felt like absolute crap. Keep in mind now, this was around 11:30 PM. For the rest of the night, I just closed my eyes and tried to fall asleep….

Shame and apologies

I woke up and felt kinda woozy all day. Perhaps it was because I only had a few hours sleep yesterday. Perhaps it was due to the fact that I hadn’t eaten any dinner yesterday. Perhaps it was because of the four healthy glasses of whiskey I consumed. Maybe that had something to do with…

And Here’s Where It Gets Hazy

I got home to find a message from Liz and Steph, who are at the Artful Dodger and want me to join. I put my shoes and coat back on, and I’m back out the door. I buy a round, and the three of us get caught up. Both Liz and Steph have incredible stories…

Whiskey and the Spanish Mafia

Justin gave me a lift home from work and, as we were coasting down North Avenue, he spotted a Goose Island sign above a nearby bar. It’s a local bar that I’ve never gone into before (I don’t know the name: on North, 50 feet west Ashland, right next to the Burrito shop). He asks…

Meet the Mofos

Dustin (aka a3dmofo) and Sherie showed up at my apartment, roughly at 12:30 AM. They had planned to leave earlier, but there were complications. Dustin couldn’t get out of work until late, and it was after 10PM before they got on the road. They’re headed to Jamaica for a wedding, and were crashing (albeit briefly)…

Potluck For Alex

Alex and Linda came into town, spending a brief night before jaunting off to Florida. Unfortunately, Linda was sick and ended up just sleeping at Justin’s apartment (where the two of them were staying). Tonight’s potluck (I went for the cheapie out, and bought a cake from a nearby bakery) was great. Lots of wine…

In the event I don’t get a chance to update

Just in case there’s too much fun to be had this evening, I decided to get you a little something: The dropdowns aren’t the most thought out thing in the world, but I’m willing to overlook it for the sheer greatness of this site’s content. American celebrities, Japanese commercials. This kind of shit is why…

I’m Whitney Houston

I have nothing. Sorry. Spent most of the night cleaning up the apartment. Alex and Linda are visiting from out of town tomorrow night, and there’s gonna be a potluck dinner at Dave’s house. And as luck would have it, Dustin (a3dmofo) and Sherie are also visiting from out of town. They’re crashing at my…

Finally

After close to a year of having signage up and the interior ready… Chipotle is finally open near work. They’ve been advertising for a really, really long time. But it wasn’t until last week that Ben and I noticed it was actually open for business. Seriously – they had some sort of zoning permit hassle,…

What the hell

I’m feeling severely unproductive tonight. I got home, and shortly after turning on the television… I fell asleep for about 30 minutes. Solid sleep. And since then, the rest of the evening, I’ve had this deep sense of negativity follow me around. It feels like wearing a heavy coat. And this is ridiculous. I have…

Reading Time

I’m two poems behind (Matt and I are on a schedule, where we’re sending one another poems every Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday). I should be working on writing tonight, but it’s already 11:00 PM, and I’m not particularly in a mood to stay up too late tonight. Plus – I’d like to explore some of…
