^— If you know where this reference is from, you and I need to do some serious drinking. An article was shared on twelvestone that talked about North Korea’s revolutionary singing. It reminded me of a link that I came across a long, long time ago about corporate anthems. That second one is soooo worth…
Justin mentioned taking a day out of the week to just hunker down somewhere and study. He’s been doing this off and on for a while now, and we talked about making it a set weekly thing. God knows there’s tons of stuff I could read up on, and I could even use it as…
is just get a few things sussed out in ActionScript. I was really looking forward to that.
I was in a pretty shitty mood all day today, and it didn’t end until around 4:00 PM. Morning involved lots of little things and, before I knew it, I was in a company-wide benefits meeting to discuss Life Insurance and Accidental Death and Dismemberment. A good thing to know about and have, I guess,…
We swung by Justin’s place (where Emma was taking a nap). We decompressed a bit before heading out for dinner as a group. While we were at Justin’s, we ended up splitting a beer, and digging in to some homemade applesauce and part of that chocolate cake I got. Dave and I also paused to…
Meh. The documentary was alright. Our concensus was that the filmmakers did a good job with what little information they had. There were a few moments that were, in my opinion, spectacular… but there were equally the same number of times when the film just got a bit too artsy and touchy-feely for my liking….
As I walked to the Division stop to meet up with Dave, I noticed a Chinese restaurant on Milwaukee that I hadn’t seen before. I actually stopped walking and looked at the sign for a good long while. This reminded me of Invader Zim, a cartoon that I got introduced to a while back. The…
I saw this Onion article on Friday, and also got an e-mail from Dustin about it yesterday. I’m glad he reminded me, as I forgot to post this link here. This is something all fans of David Foster Wallace should appreciate. And if you don’t know his work, check out A Supposedly Fun Thing I’ll…
I just saw that Donnie Darko was showing there earlier this month! DAMMIT! DAMMIT! DAMMIT!
Justin mentioned a documentary he was going to see, and I decided I wanted to go. A few of us are going to meet in about two hours to go to the Gene Siskel Film Center. There’s a documentary showing there about Nick Drake that’s called A Skin Too Few. I don’t know much about…
I went back to Filter today, had some coffee there and tried to write a bit more. Nothing productive unfortunately. I tried reading a bit of Weldon Kees. I know some folks who like him a lot, but I had tremendous difficulty getting into his work. I keep meaning to try more, but after a…
Holy crap! I woke up early this morning, and slapped on my sneakers and went for a brief jog around the neighborhood. I wasn’t really prepared for the cold, so that cut the run short (I was shivering the whole time). I’m far from being in shape, but getting started running is the hardest part….
Man oh man. There are several small things that really make you happy to be alive. Personally, the smell of onions sizzling away in a small splash of butter is one of those things.
