Work. Tired. Cranked out a CD for a client. Yadda yadda. Driving home from Kenosha last night, I could barely stay awake at the wheel. When I got home, an ex-girlfriend of mine (Ann) was in the process of leaving me a message. It was near 11:00 PM when I walked in the door, and picked up. She’s been having…
It is a rather bleak morning, with us waking up around 10 AM. Melissa is still battling her flu-like symptoms, and is in and out of the bathroom all morning. It hits noon, and we realize we’re not going to make it to see Dustin’s apartment before dinner. I talk with him online, and he’s already guessed as much. Around…
Melissa arrives! We meet, shake hands, and start chatting about her trip. As we walk down to the luggage carousel, we’re both sorta taking stock of one another. It’s a bit weird at first, as we’re essentially two complete strangers. The talk goes over the usual topics, the boards, WH folk, and whatnot. On the blueline train back into the…
When I arrive back at the checkpoint, I look up the schedules. Delayed some more. The flight is set to arrive at 12:30 AM, so there’s even more waiting. For a while, I sit at the base of an escalator, positioned directly across from the metal detectors. I see a guy slouching, and notice a nice frame for a photograph….
So I have no recourse but to wait. When I check, I see that her flight is delayed until 11:50 PM. I spent most of the day cleaning, and realize I’m ravenous. When I ask the security guy if anything’s open, he tells me that I need to travel by train to "Terminal 5." I track down the transport, and…
Ah. The apartment is presentable, and I head out to catch the Blue Line to O’Hare at about 9 PM. Moonie is due to arrive at around 11:15 PM. I checked airline’s schedule, and everything looks good (Melissa called earlier, to say there was a chance the flight would be delayed). I figure it takes a while to get out…
Mopping the floor, putting crap away. I live like a slob and the only times I clean are when I have visitors. I woke up at 6:30 this morning, and went to the grocery store to get supplies. If there wasn’t a mop in my hand, there was a grocery bag (went to Jewel about 3 times today). Lots of…
Interesting cycles. I’m updating again at, what is almost 12 hours to the minute from my entry this morning. Woke up early, did some cleaning of the front rooms, and left the kitchen and bathroom for tomorrow. Decided to veg on the computer for a bit. I’ve finished a big cup of coffee, and it hasn’t even fazed me. Been…
I know a lot of people by their usernames and handles. I know a few by their actual names. How will I refer to the people I meet? I’m thinking first names, but that suddenly requires a pretty substantial mental shift. Saying "Hey Melissa" seems a bit strange, as I’m used to seeing the name "MoonDragon" anytime I talk with…
Melissa (MoonDragon) is visiting tomorrow evening, and I’ll be picking her up at O’Hare. Sunday, we’re heading to Kenosha to meet up with other WH folk… and we’re going to see Dustin (a3dmofo) before the dinner. At least, that’s the plan… I have some concerns about us waking up in time, hangovers and all. :D This weekend will mark my…
Walked in the door about 30 minutes ago. Working on my first drink of the night/day (Edit: Make that second). I’ve been at work since about 8:30 this morning. Er… yesterday morning. I got direction on what to do, finally, at around 8:30 PM. Ah well. These hours come with the territory, I suppose. Nice to feel needed every once…

I’ve got the first half of my roadtrip updated. Check out: The drive to Columbus. Day in Columbus. The drive back, Sunday. C’mon. There’s whiskey, muffins, a bunch of drunk writers and Chicken McNuggets. You won’t be disappointed.
As I was driving to work today, I came across a billboard with this image. Apparently, it’s some film with Eddie Murphy in it. But I’ve never heard ANYTHING about it… didn’t know about it, didn’t recognize the title. Seeing him in some kind of spacesuit sort of freaked me out. It was one of those Sci-Fi moments in movies…
As I was eating lunch, I felt my filling pop out. I ran to the bathroom, checked it out, saw that there was a big divot in one of my teeth, and called the dentist. Got an appointment for 5:15 PM. Turns out, I am an overreactive hypochondriac. :) The divot was supposed to be there, and Dr. Tobias was…
