Justin stuck around with me after work… trying to troubleshoot a stupid Flash problem. I never did figure out what the fuck was wrong, and ended up applying a manual hack to get things working properly. Fuck – I was so disgusted, I felt bad for Justin sticking around. We both went down to Dunphy’s,…
Got the pics from Halloween up. Gonna be a while on the Ohio party pictures. Maybe a day or two.
I think I deserve some kind of nerd award for coming up with that thing. After all, I’m the… What’s that you’re saying? I can’t hear you – you’ll need to speak up. The only thing nerdier… that the gang sign is asking… for a nerd awa…
rypunked: /flashes gang sign Portnoy: hehe Portnoy: I think I once made up a gang sign for Flash MX Portnoy: You do the devil horns with both hands, point the fingers down, and cross your index fingers for the “X” rypunked: oh i gotta see a pic of that Portnoy: lol Portnoy: I’ll post one…
Mr. Grumpy: /makes MX sign Mr. Grumpy: damn that’s a complicated gang sign to make Portnoy: Dude – I just totally made it Mr. Grumpy: /makes VI sign Mr. Grumpy: ahhhhh Portnoy: Make the Metallica heavy metal devil horns Portnoy: minus the thumb Portnoy: do that with both hands Portnoy: point them down Portnoy: cross…
When I stepped off the train this evening, rain was coming down pretty hard. This morning, I read that it was going to be in the low 70’s. As I stepped outside, I decided I didn’t want to bring my jacket. No umbrella either. This evening, between the train and my house, I got utterly,…
Saw this on my way to work this morning. The pine tree in the yard was draped with tons of leaves that obviously got blown from somewhere else. They looked less from a tree, and more like plant leaves that got ripped by, what must have been some seriously strong winds. I was dead to…
The walk home was fully spooky – tons of fog and muted lighting. This is a shot with the trees. Although a fairly populated neighborhood, it felt like no one else was around. Side street. Vacant. Leftover Halloween prop. Scared the CRAP outta me. Evil faces, half-sad because they seemed stripped of power. Alleyway. Near…
Justin convinced me to hang out with him and Kent (a lot of work that was) at Danny’s. We met up there around 9 PM, and talked a good long while, sipping drinks and passing the time. One of the cool folks we met was Michelle: who was celebrating her 31st birthday. She doesn’t look…
I wish I wrote more down about my drive home. But I had a fabulous road trip back. If I were to chart for you how good I felt starting Saturday morning to Sunday afternoon, it would be one slow forty-five degree angle. I felt like crap when I woke up yesterday, felt fine after…
Amazing, I was up by about 8:30 AM. Go figure. I felt great, and talked a while on the porch with folks who were also planning an early exit. Dan, trying to tame his hangover, swigged some beer. I was pretty impressed. When asked if he was drinking again, he lifted the Jim Beam to…
Woke up feeling pretty wretched. Threw on my makeup, and then made my way over to work (where I had an extra clipboard, and where I could make some more photocopies). Walking around in full costume on Halloween is one thing, but doing so on November 1st gets you some weirder looks. I had on…
Off to visit The Foxes, and another Halloween party. Apparently, there was an attempt to get people to all dress up like Abraham Lincoln. For some reason. I’ll be sure to take pics.
This is probably scarier than the costume. :)
