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…
Currently, it’s 3:21 AM. Trying to get this friggin’ blog updated. There are lots of images from the weekend… so I promise. Soon soon!
Cavity day! Here are some pics: This is what I see, right as the chair is moving to its prone position. The needle. *shudder* Actually, my dentist (Dr. Tobias) was remarkably nice about explaining everything to me. He went right in with the needle, no swap or local anasthetic. When I asked him about, he just said "You don’t need…
Jacki recently moved a bit farther outside of Columbus, with Andy. He’s a great guy, and I got to meet him on Sunday. The house is gorgeous, and Jacki showed me all the work that Andy’s put into the place (and all he’s planning to do). This is a shot of him with his grandson Jake. Hanging out with Devin,…
A brief glimpse at the alcohol present. This table shot doesn’t include the table of food outside, the BBQ, and the keg of beer. Writers, more than anyone else on the planet, know how to throw a good party. A great goodbye sign that Dan made for Meghan and Jim. Meghan and Jim, northbound and headed for the professorial life….
After seeing Dipti, I called up Jason and Layla, friends of mine from the grad program at OSU. They recently had (well… recently being over a year ago) a beautiful baby girl, Miranda, and I stopped by to see all three of them. Jebus. It’s been ages – the last time I saw Miranda, she was a small little ball,…
Dipti, someone I’ve known since middle school, is also living in Columbus. I spent most of Saturday day flitting around town, trying to catch up with folk. Dipti and I dated briefly during our undergrad years, and she’s someone I’ve gotten along with smashingly. Between her and Melinda, I feel like the three of us constantly know what the other…
