Wake up, 4:30 AM. Shave, shower, pack. On the road by 5:00 AM, sipping on cheap ass gas station coffee and trying to wake up. For the first hour or so, I was pretty laid back… but as the sun rose and the coffee bubbled in my bloodstream, I opened up more and more to…
He would have worn the pilot’s hat with his suit. He totally would have.
Ok. It’s Wednesday, July 16th. My sister just called to let me know that John Travolta did in fact show up, and gave a speech towards the end of the evening. Dammit! To top things off, my dad got his picture taken with Neil Armstrong – which is awesome because he was really hoping to…
In the hustle and bustle of things, I forgot to bring my camera with me to Ohio. Sucks, but oh well. I don’t feel comfortable including my family into this blog, so it’s just as well. What you missed – the National Aviation Hall of Fame. My uncle was being honored today, and inducted as…
At home in Indianapolis, I stayed in my old bedroom and crashed around midnight. While I’m back at my old house, I tend to regress as far as my reading materials. I often sift through all the old books still lying around (my parents throw away NOTHING), which are often books that I read when…
At work this morning, I was still dealing with residue from hanging out with the family. I had a rather negative outlook that took most of the day to shake off. On my walk to work, however, I noticed that the artwork near the parking lot had been removed. Despite my earlier entries, seeing everything…
Juliet: who played video games all day? who pretended he didn’t want to admit it, and then did admit it? who didn’t even give us a screenshot? who didn’t invite us over to play the video game? felix. that’s right, felix jung. grand theft this. [Offline Message (Mon Jul 14 01:23:46 2003)] ROFL!
My parents were in town, along with several family members. I met up with them in Chinatown and spent most of the day hanging out with them. I also met some additional aunts I hadn’t known all that well, and our group did a lot of walking/touring. I got to hang out in a park…
I installed Grand Theft Auto: Vice City for the PC today. Uhm. Let’s just move on, and forget about today. In fact, let’s never speak of this day again.
If you’re ever in downtown Chicago, and you catch an incredibly strong whiff of chocolate… that’d be Blommers. The Blommer Chocolate Company is near the Mud Lot, and whenever I drive to work, I walk by it. Everyone’s been talking about trying to go there for a tour, and today I was able to get…
I happened to see a callbox opened up, and a barge gliding by on the river.
Matt showed me the "secret parking spot" near work a few weeks ago. Most places downtown, there’s a hefty fee for the parking lots. One of the cheaper ones is fondly referred to as the "Mud Lot," as it’s a blast to wade through whenever it rains. The Mud Lot costs $8, so it’s not…
Has been almost all about work. I haven’t been doing much fucking around, little IM conversations during the day… just cranking things out for the employer. Which is not to say I’m complaining. Actually, I feel like I’ve gotten a fair amount done this week, and I’m looking back over the past few days with…
A few days ago, I got some email from Jerkstore and digidod. I had given Jerkstore my jumbled nav .fla, and received a really nice "Hey, I read your blog regularly" note from digidod. It’s always cool to see how others approach a like project, so take a peek: Jerkstore’s blog.digidod’s blog. Ah, e-mail. It’s…
After almost a day plus trying to diagnose what was wrong… I discoverd I had encoded my audio improperly. I was scouring through my code, sure that I had misnamed something, or wired something up wrong. Note to self: trust your code more. Everything was fine. Just the audio files were off (I must have…
