In Preparation For Winter
Home for Thanksgiving, my parents give me a box of Ramen noodles, a copy of “The Art of War.”

And So, We Enter December
Matthew: I’m terrified of doing it. Portnoy: :D Portnoy: Alright. Portnoy: Here’s what it is then. Matthew: lol Matthew: I’m ready to smell… Portnoy: One Nonfiction draft, due before the turn of the new year. Matthew: k Portnoy: More than one draft is cool, but at least one by Dec 31. Matthew: sounds appropriate. Portnoy: Poem form will be six…
So I’ve Decided
I’m not going to mention my family. I went home. It was nice. I’m back. I’m not sure why I hesitate here, and why I’m unwilling to talk about my family. I guess that, by starting this blog, I made an agreement with myself that I’d make a lot of my own thoughts/ideas/experiences public. But I never asked my family,…

Pavlov: 1 | Felix: 0
There’s a thread on twelvestone about movies that were better than the book. And American Psycho appeared on the list. Back in college, a girl named Jenny used to come by my dorm room. It was weird – we were both attracted to each other, and our "relationship" was a bit… well, confusing. Oftentimes, she’d stop by and read to…
Dinner with MaryAnn
MaryAnn and I attended OSU a few years back. I was studying poetry, she was studying fiction – both of us were in the Creative Writing Program there. Well, she moved back to Chicago (she’s lived here before) a few months ago, and we finally got together this evening for dinner. It was quick, but we were able to catch…

I’m Here, But Mentally I’m Eating Turkey
Like all my coworkers, I’m in this zombie-like state. Here, but not here. Thinking of home. I don’t plan on updating this thing for the next few days. I’m coming back to my apartment on Friday I think, so I may post this weekend. But not before. I’ve been thinking lately of what else to write about here. Every few…
Shoulda Woulda Coulda
So as we’re leaving, I notice a rather attractive waitress. She was nowhere near our table this evening, but I get a glimpse of her as we’re putting on our coats. Immediately smitten. I thought briefly about going up to talk to her, but seeing how I was around all my workmates, that didn’t seem like the ideal time. Odd….
Corporate Dinner
Three of the IT guys from Emmis Corporate (Indianapolis) were visiting, and Rey took everyone out to eat. Nearby steakhouse. 12 oz. filet. Medium rare. Smashed potatoes with bacon. Bass. I can barely move. I’m typing this with my nose.
Slow Day
Well, I’ve done some laundry and that’s as productive as I’m going to get. I sat on the couch with my cat, and we watched tv for a while. It was everything I thought it would be. Early night tonight – gonna try to read some.
Go Buckeyes
Heard about this a few days back. In the three years I was there, I never attended a game. I did all my rioting after poetry readings. :|
