After following around many a dragon, Alex and I decided to call it quits and get some food. Several of the places we tried were filled to capacity, so we ended up at a small joint in New Chinatown. The service was horrible, the entire waitstaff seemed stressed out of their minds, but the food…
It’s customary, on each New Year’s day, for the dragons to go to every shop in Chinatown to offer blessings. Now, I’m not all that familiar with the specifics, as this has been my first official Chinese New Year in Chicago. Noise is used to "scare off" evil spirits, and firecrackers do the job nicely….
Early yesterday morning, Alex and I headed out to Chinatown for the Chinese New Year parade. We brought our cameras with us, and pretty much spent the whole afternoon shooting the parade and the dragons. For some reason, the Raeleans were at the parade. Alex and I talked to them a bit, took their pamphlets…
I work with computers. So you’d think, you’d think I’m a smart guy. After being up all night last night, you’d think I’d just turn off the damn monitor and head to sleep. But what happens? I notice that the "February" button isn’t working on the nav. I open up Flash, I dig around a…
I went with Alex to Chinatown today, to see the parades and all. Today is Chinese New Year (the year of the Ram), and we spent most of the day taking pictures of crowds, firecrackers and dragons. It’s late, and I don’t think I can post all the pics just yet. But I got some…
First day of the first full month since I implemented the new nav. I wonder if it’s working…
This has happened several times when I’ve been involved in serious relationships. But if I’m involved with someone, and I dream about other women… I won’t cheat. I recall several dreams where I refused sex from imaginary people (and really attractive imaginary people, mind you). I out and out said "Sorry, I’m seeing someone." Even…
What a cool fucking word this is. Yet another great link from twelvestone. Anything related to sleep and dreaming has always fascinated me. I skimmed through the article a bit, but I’m pretty exhausted right now. HAHAHA! I just realized how silly this is – me, sleep deprived, posting a link to this article. ooooooh…
I was talking to seventh today, and he gave me a link to some of his photographs. I’m really quite impressed – there’s some slick shit here. Check it out. The picture of the water dragon is phenomenal!
The Internet is looking for a few good saints.
Wha? I hit the couch around 2, 3 PM. I wake up some six hours later – it’s dark, and I’m not entirely clear on where I am. Things that happened to me what seem like yesterday were, truly, two days ago. Now with this big, six-hour long nap… a lot of things feel like…
It’s about quarter to 3 PM. I’m back home in my apartment, and just ordered some food. I’m actively being lazy and slothful and hoping I can stay awake long enough to watch one of the movies I rented. I’m pretty tired right now, but I don’t want to sleep – I want to be…
One of these times, I’m going to get a videocamera set up beforehand… and then, once an hour, tape myself performing the same "experiment" over and over. Something like trying to juggle, or standing on one foot and touching my nose. I think it’d be a blast. Uh…. hm. Yeah. *looks at clock* *realizes he…
Working at the office. Not much time to update, other than Ben and I are stil here… slugging away. Had sushi for dinner earlier, which was nice. Now it’s caffeine and Flash until morning. Wooha! ICQ: 153997726
Earlier tonight, I was chatting with Grumpy. He was killing a bit of time before his workday ended, and we both started looking around Conan O’Brien’s site on NBC. I’m not one that regularly watches his show, but I gotta say… there’s some really great stuff on this site. The two of us were cracking…
