Finally
Went out to lunch today with Justin and Ben. This afternoon’s food marks the first solid food I’ve had since Saturday evening. Well, the first solid food I’ve been able to keep down.

Aftermath
Woke up drunk this morning. I did a quick check to see if I had my camera (check) and my wallet (check). Ate some food. A little later, figured out I wasn’t able to keep anything down and horked it back up. Most of the day has been spent on the couch, fading in and…
Bachelor Party
Going to head over to Mike’s place, a friend from Q101. He’s having a bachelor party this tonight, and we’re hopping all over the place. A bus was rented, and it’s some kind of insane hour and a half journey to whatever strip club it is we’re going to. I never understood the attraction, really….
Hulk Gloves
This took a bit of digging, but I isolated when the picture taking happened. On April 12, we had a set of Hulk gloves floating around the Marketing Department. Ben had them on (there are sound effects that trigger, if you punch anything) and I snapped a few shots with my camera. Like this one:…

I spent some time mucking with a feature of Swiftmp3 today, and explored the whole "audio spectrum" ability that comes with it. When using it to convert mp3 files to swf files, it will also spit out variables (s0 up through s17) that track the levels (is that even the right term?). So… all you…
See?
Portnoy: Bought Beth Orton’s “Daybreaker” today, after work.Portnoy: I think you were the one who gave me a mp3 of hers. :) Mr. Grumpy: yep, got it from ts, passed it on to you Portnoy: enjoying it immensely Portnoy: although I keep going back to the one song (Carmella) and playing it over and over…
CD’s
I stopped by Reckless today, on the way home. Picked up Beth Orton’s Daybreaker, and Control by Pedro the Lion. So far though, I’ve been looping Beth Orton’s "Carmella" over and over and over again.

Thinking about you, sending good thoughts your direction, hoping things are improving. Get well soon, ry.
Alex
Found out today that Alex is planning on packing up and moving away from Chicago. This was a bit of a shock, and I’m not sure it’s all sunk in just yet. From the way he talks, it sounds like he believes it’s the right decision. He’s also moving in with Linda, which is another…
Woozy
All day today, I’ve been feeling pretty fuzzy and a few steps behind. And it looks like this weekend’s going to be more of the same – lots of activities, and a fair amount of booze on the menu. But – as badly as I felt this morning, my hurting PALED in comparison to what…
Zing!
Steph’s birthday is today. A bunch of us gathered at Holiday to celebrate, and to throw down some booze on her behalf. Steph and Matt, talking away. Matt also happens to be a bouncer at Holiday (where we were drinking). Mike and Steph take a breather from their fashion show planning. Group shot:…
Corpse Car
I am convinced, seeing how I’ve seen this car each time I’ve walked by for the past four weeks… I’m convinced there’s a corpse in the back seat or the trunk. It’s been parked in the exact same spot, and it doesn’t look like it’s been moved. One of these days, if it’s still down…
Shopping For Steph
Tomorrow is Steph’s birthday, and my gift is going to be this multi-part thing. One component is a book, which I found at Quimby’s. As I was browsing, I stumbled across a newer collection of "The Books of Magic." I’ve been following this comic for a while, and it’s been something like 2 years since…
Yet Another Reason Why I Love My Workplace
I walk back into the office and, in the hallway, I see Joe. With a gun tucked into his pants. With his shirt buttoned vato-style. With THUG LIFE written across his body in pen. Hahahahahah! Yeeeeeeah, boyyyeeeee!!
Mega Mango Margarita Madness
I meant to brag about this last week, but forgot to mention it on the blog. Today, there was a covert operation at work to go to Caesar’s for lunch. I’ve been to Caesar’s once before, for Phil and Charity’s wedding reception. And from that time, I learned about the potency of their margaritas. Today,…
