TwelveStone | Chicago Boozification, Part 3

Finally, we meet Jeff (persist)! He’s another one of the forum mods, and does some wicked, god-like stuff with ActionScript. We hadn’t heard from him all weekend, but as it turns out, he had sent me a PM on twelvestone. But what happened a bit earlier in the weekend was that Ian (who is also…

TwelveStone | Chicago Boozification, Part 2

Good morning Starshine! Tim, derrick (curled into a ball), Sherie and Dustin (a3dmofo) on the bed. Amazingly, everyone was up and about at around 9:00 AM. I still don’t understand that. And for the record, Melissa defiled my bathroom. Again. :D A few stayed in to sleep, but most of us went to Hollywood Grill…

TwelveStone Chicago Boozification, Part 1

The evening begins – derrick, Dana (mrs. StinkFist), Tim and Scotty (StinkFist) Someone offers derrick money to eat a tampon. The tone for the rest of the weekend is set. The birthday girl herself: Melissa (MoonDragon) arrives! Ian (arigato) had this with him, and I recognized the smell immediately. Another story for another time. What…

So It Begins

Earlier tonight, arigato, audrey and mr. audrey arrived in Chicago. We all went out to Irazu for a bite to eat (got the oatmeal shake again) and walked around a bit. We ventured into the Flatiron building, tried to find the occult bookstore (closed) and ari got grease on his hand in the elevator. Ari…

Phone Call

Alex called me back. This after me calling him earlier in the evening. I’ve felt bad that I haven’t been out and about much, especially since I’ve been prepping to go out and about with a ton of folks this weekend. So, I called Alex to see how things have been, and to see if…

Meh.

More cleaning. Nothing really to say. The ants that were invading my bathroom are now mostly gone (I put some liquid gel stuff down on Saturday, and they’ve been devouring that stuff for days). Some last minute items are tumbling in the dryer right now and this place is as good as it’s gonna get….

Aaaaaand MORE Cleaning

You don’t want to know how messy this place was, before I started cleaning up. :| Ran to Target after work, picked up a bunch of stuff – new lamp, extra paper towels, TP, extra shampoo and conditioner. Let’s see… I also got a ton of junk food, in anticipation of the drunken horde. This…

More Cleaning

Wow. My apartment is really starting to shape up. There’s still a fair amount of work to be done, but I’m getting things put away and cleaned and… man. Looking at some of the rooms now, I’m amazed how messy my place was. Nothing like a big group of Internet folks visiting from all to…

Like Two Giant Pieces of Steamed Asparagus…

You want to know what my legs felt like, on the ride home? Not five minutes into my ride at the end of the day… I realized why I thought the morning trek was so pleasant. It’s mainly downhill. Doh! Sadly, I am in terrible shape. My legs started to give out on me soon…

I Want To Ride My Bicycle…

I woke up late this morning and, after debating it with myself for longer than I thought possible… I decided to hop on my bike and ride the thing to work. Today was the first time I took any sort of major street, and all in all it wasn’t too terribly bad. It’s definitely going…

:garp:

I rented The Cider House Rules, and watched half of it this evening. I’ve seen it before, and felt in the mood to watch it again. I’m a big fan of John Irving, ever since I read The World According to Garp in high school. I vividly remember reading the paperback while lying on my…

I’m Whitney Houston

Unfortunately, little of interest happened today. I’ve got nothing. I’ve been cleaning most of the day. Going through boxes of crap that I’ve let sit in a corner for longer than I’d like to admit. For some reason, I like to keep every scrap of paper just in case it might prove useful at some…

Owned!

This had me cracking up when I first saw it. I started laughing and literally had to force myself to be quiet… I was on the verge of bursting out loud. Took me like 5 minutes to recover! Everytime I looked at it again, I almost lost my shit. The text is what kills me….

Good Advice

It’s always fun when the world decides to talk to you, and throw a little advice your way. Mornings like this, it feels like the universe walked by and ever so slightly tipped its hat in your direction.
