Nicole Rocks!
Nicole, having also heard my tale of being "snubbed" on Saturday, went so far as to get me another turtle from Caesar’s. Rock! This guy is now sitting on my speaker, at work. Thanks to the exhaust fan, its head bobs constantly.

Because Expectant Mothers Need To Park Too
Another one of those things you don’t normally see unless you keep an eye out.
April (Snow) Showers
P.S.
Third Animatrix released.
Hm.
Not all that focused this evening. Started to write bout my day (laundry, bills, dishes, usual suspects…). Then I decided that was too dull to recount. I don’t know why, but lately I seem to get incredibly sad for no apparent reason. Sad is too strong a word – blue? Depressed? I dunno. There’s a…
Turtle
So at that party yesterday, a guy went around and offered people these little toy turtles. I stuck my hand out and got snubbed. Snubbed! By the fucking turtle waiter! I was shocked. On my way out, Cathie and I talk about the turtles. When I tell her my story, she spots the guy and…
Best Laid Plans
I got up this morning at around 7:30 AM. I had in mind a list of errands to run, stores to visit… I was going to get a wedding gift for Phil and Charity, and made it a point to check their registered gifts online. I show up at Target sometime after 8 AM, and…
The Iguana
Earlier tonight, rasta made an appearance on twelvestone. He’s one of the early members/moderators of WH, and one hell of a writer to boot. Before I found his site, the idea of blogs and online journals struck me as vanity pieces. And true, they are that to some extent. But when I came across his…
Chicago Design
As it gets warmer, I’m going to try to take more pictures. Promise.
Booze and Nostaliga
I made a CD of some random songs I’ve got, with the intention that I’d listen to them while I sat on my porch. In my mind, the night is warm and quiet, my radio is pressed against the screen window and the cold beer feels good against my hand. So far, it’s been too…
Hi, I’d Like To Place An Order For… Hello?
So, lazy bones that I am, I wanted to order food this evening. I’ve been trying to not eat as much crap during the work day, and I’ve been sticking to just soup for lunch so far this week. Being good about not eating candy or snacking on things. But when I get home, I…
Summer Jam
So it’s come up at work that we’ve got a ton of "brochureware" sites to do. Most likely, it’ll be me and Ben, making some fancy schmancy, snazzy looking Flash sites for a variety of concerts for all of our radio stations. One of the main ones that’s coming up would be Summer Jam, sponsored…
Meeting
Woohoo! So I’m meeting with Kenneth, the executive director of The Poetry Center of Chicago, to talk about possible volunteer opportunities. We’re getting together next Tuesday, and I’m excited about what might come from that meeting. Woot!
Slow News Day
At lunch, a bunch of us noticed that the bowl of Hershey’s kisses had depleted almost to nothing. When we had our big webmaster meeting, last February, everyone got a ton of food as a "welcome" gift. Ever since, our office has been flooded with candy, kisses, and general not-good-for-you snacks. In a sudden search…
Holy Visitors!
I glanced at my site traffic yesterday (and it’s not like I’m getting TONS of hits here), but holy crapola! I got more hits on April Fool’s Day, on that one day than I got in all of last month. Ooh, wait. I guess in terms of a daily average, that’s true. As of March…
