The List

I felt this needed to be documented. Anymore, I’ve started into the habit of forming a list that gets passed around. This helps organize things, but it also prevents us from double-ordering items (unless we know we want double helpings). Yes, my friends employ this system. Yes, I think this is nerdy. Yes, this is…

Kind Of A Loss, But Not Really

One scary thing that happened: when the bill came, I went for my wallet and found that… my debit card was missing. :( Looked and looked, but it either fell out of my pocket somewhere, or I left it in the ATM machine this afternoon. I’m usually good about remembering to grab my card (never…

Iberico, Ho!

Settling into a meal at Cafe Iberico, with a bunch of friends. I met up with Kent and Christine, Justin, Emma and Dave. Unfortunately, Stu was planning to join us but had to cancel last minute. This whole meal, by the way, was made possible by an incredibly generous gift. Two suits of armor nearby….

Damien Jurado @ Shubas

For a long while, I debated on whether I was going to attend this concert, or just stay home. I’ve been out and about a bit more lately, and really wanted to just hole up in my apartment. But… the idea of seeing Damien Juado again was too good to pass up. So I hopped…

Lots of Errands!

Spent most of this morning running from place to place. Started off at Target, ran to petSmart, Home Depot and Stanley’s. I went around to several big-name places, but winded up getting very little done. I spent part of today trying to seal up windows/doors, and getting things winterized. Before I knew it, it was…

After Work

Justin and I decided to go see Kill Bill, Vol. 1. We got to the theater early, and ended up hitting a nearby Barnes and Nobles to kill an hour. I didn’t really read much, and spent most of my time checking up on old, favorite authors, trying to see if they had anything new…

Good Day

Justin and I had a nice breakfast at DeMar’s and spent the rest of the day… well, at work. But we were working on a personal project that we both discussed a few weeks back, while we were out at the Artful Dodger. Today, I got to walk through making a database from scratch, and…

Early Morning

It got pretty cold last night, and as I was walking to my car this morning… I spotted a small patch of leaves that had recently fallen to the ground. The odd thing was that, everywhere else along the street, the leaves on the ground were in varying stages of yellow and brown. But this…

Well

I wish I had more, but I spent most of tonight on the computer. I tried writing some, and eeked out a crappy poem for Matt. But the plus side is that I got writing again – it’s going to take some time to get back fully in the practice of writing consistently, so today’s…

Saturday = Work Day

Justin and I are heading in to the office, to try to hash out an idea we had a few weeks back. I’m picking him up tomorrow at 9, we’re heading to DeMar’s for breakfast, and will most likely spend the day geeking out and planning. Should be fun. :)

Quiet Day

Ben was out. Jill was out. Rey and Deb were both out. Quiet day at the office. Justin was in a really bad mood, and couldn’t seem to shake it for most of the day. He lost his cellphone sometime last night, and I think that just added to his dark mood. We talked a…

Little Brother

After work, Justin and I hit microcenter for some errands. I wanted to buy a laser printer, and he needed a few items. This is a fairly big, impulsive purchase for me… so I’m surprised I just out and out did it, without really doing much research or giving it much thought. This morning, I…

Work Meeting Becomes Lunch Meeting

What started out as a late-morning meeting evolved into a lunch outing. Rey suggested we all go to Manny’s, which ended up being fan-fucking-tastic. As it turns out, Manny’s is on 1141 S. Jefferson St., not far at all from where I was a few weeks back when I went to go pick up a…

Meh

I meant to get the Ohio pictures done tonight. But… I’m drunk, and tired, and thinking about sleep soon. So – tough luck. Check back in a few days.
