Columbus Retrospecticus, Arrival

Well, after several airplane flights… my trusty little Leatherman Micra got confiscated. I got it about 2 years ago, from my coworker Dave, as a "Welcome to Axiom" gift. It’s come in really handy more times than I can count. Everytime I found myself at the airport, I’d forget about the Micra until I was already at the security station….

Columbus: Soon

I’ve got a few blurry pics and even blurrier stories about Cowtown. But not tonight – I think I’m pooped, and ready to conk out. Updates tomorrow. Sorry for not keeping this thing going over the weekend. I’m figuring that, with November and December being fairly big holiday months, I’m allowed to slip a few days here and there. Rest…

Social Day

Work was alright – nothing spectacular. But afterwards, boy oh boy. Since Alex invited me out almost two weeks ago, I’ve felt… "not social enough." Bad to the point where I began wondering if I was seriously neglecting people that I called friends. At work today, Ben invited me to go see Fritz Lang’s Man Hunt. Not great, but very…

Slowness

Damn, I’m beat. Doing laundry right now, and trying to relax a bit. Sorry for not having more to jabber about here. Hopping on a plane to Columbus tomorrow, and getting ready for that. Soon soon, I’m going to need a vacation from all this fun. :)

WORST_COMPANY_CHRISTMAS_PARTY_EVER

OK, so I’m exaggerating. We closed down early today, and everyone made their way over to Diversey Bowl. Free pizza, free booze, free bowling. I got to talk briefly to some of the other station folk (many of whom I don’t normally see on a daily basis). Had a few beers, bowled a few games. Like a genius, I join…

Too Stupid For Words

If you ask me, this hurts poetry more than it helps. "Randomness and uncertainty is at the centre of how the universe is put together, and is quite difficult for us as humans who rely on order." Good Grammar = Grant Money

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!

Gallery

A long while ago, jverbal shared with me his code for his image gallery. Great stuff, using a combination of ASP, XML and Flash MX. After digging through it for a long while, today I put together my own variation. It’s not as slick as his (I’m not using ASP here, and the Gallery doesn’t allow for multiple directory listings),…

Indicators

You know you’re having a good convesation with a good friend when you spend an hour plus talking about dreams. Try out that formula – it holds true everytime. Juliet and I talked for a good while, me getting drunk on whiskey, her a bit silly from sleep deprivation. Good talks. Can’t wait to get back to Columbus.

Invitation

Alex just called me up, to go to InterTown Pub and have drinks. I declined, saying that I wanted to stay home and work. I keep talking about being more social, but when it comes down to it… I find myself staying at home. I’m wondering if I’m being overly analytical, measuring out my future plans against some social-to-alone ratio….
