Before I headed home, I stopped in a Reckless Records to look for a few things (it’s a great place, don’t judge the store by its unfortunately loud rollovers). I got Alien Lanes (Guided by Voices) and Pink Moon (Nick Drake). It’s been a really long time since I’ve purchased music. I tend to listen…
I used to live on this street, before I moved. I noticed a blue plastic bag stuck in a tree, pushed there by a really strong breeze. Oddly, I thought of ActionScript, about programming, and about how randomness often creates things we don’t expect.
I set the camera on the table and took a shot of the room. To the right of that guy reading is where I was sitting, right before I moved to a table (so I could write).
Working on an idea that I got a while back, when I went drinking with Justin. Today, I think I decided that I’m going to get serious again about writing. I’ve been meaning to review the poems I wrote for my thesis while studying at OSU, and they’ve just been sitting dormant for about 2…
Let’s see… I went to return some movies (and to rent some more) around 11. Walked around the neighborhood some on the way. Here’s one that’s near Damen and Wabansia… a tree with a bunch of Christmas lights still strung all over it. Afterwards, I ambled down Milwaukee and went inside Filter. I’ve gotten a…
Wow – I was actually out and about late this morning, into the afternoon. Got a few sporadic pics here and there. Eating a very late lunch, and I’ll update soon.
And… all I really missed out on was a full day of slacking around the apartment. I ended up making a chicken dish with the crock pot, which turned out pretty well. The chicken ended up being a bit dry, and could use some spicing up… but a good turnout for my first time trying…
I guess things balance themselves out. I went in yesterday to attend to some stuff that needed to go up Monday. I was told a launch date of the 19th/20th, but whatever. Spent a few hours there getting things in order and caught a train back home around 2:30, 3:00 PM. To be honest, it…
Crap! I can’t believe I blanked out on updating this thing last night. Gimme a bit. I’ll add to this day’s entry shortly.
The water was up to my throat. Now it was wrapped around my neck like a noose. In anticipation, I was beginning to find it difficult to breathe. My heart, now underwater, was working hard to tick off the time it had remaining. At this rate, I would have another five minutes or so before…
Definitely check this book out if you have a chance. I’m puzzled by it, still not entirely sure what happened even though I’ve finished it… but it’s mesmerizing and wholly different than any other book I’ve read. Thanks, Justin, for giving me this book. Can’t wait to talk about it.
is kind of disturbing. Especially since I’m not among those that are getting any.
All of us got into this interesting conversation about Valentine’s day, and the likelihood of pleasing the "significant other." Ben had planned on spending the evening making dinner with his wife… and joked that the only way they could go "out" to eat was if they found a sitter. Or if I volunteered. To his…
On our way out to lunch, we walked by one of the shops inside the mall where we work (Ben ran into the scene and stood in line). A crappy shot with low light, but it gets the point across. I’m sorry – true, I’m a bit down on Valentine’s this year since I don’t…
