Columbus Retrospecticus, Saturday Night

Juliet was scheduled to sell Christmas trees at her church from 6-8. During that time, Jim and Meg were driving down into town, and we were all going out to get some dinner. Before long, we had arranged for everyone to meet (Matt, Jesseca and Akhim), and decided on Juliet’s house, 6 PM. I really…

Columbus Retrospecticus, Saturday Day

Saturday day was spent hanging with Jacki and Devin. He’s HUGE now! And he’s getting super quick with the witty retort. I need to sharpen my skills to keep up with that boy. We went to Target as a group, looking for gifts. I wandered with him over to the music and movie aisle, and…

Columbus Retrospecticus, Arrival

Well, after several airplane flights… my trusty little Leatherman Micra got confiscated. I got it about 2 years ago, from my coworker Dave, as a "Welcome to Axiom" gift. It’s come in really handy more times than I can count. Everytime I found myself at the airport, I’d forget about the Micra until I was…

Columbus: Soon

I’ve got a few blurry pics and even blurrier stories about Cowtown. But not tonight – I think I’m pooped, and ready to conk out. Updates tomorrow. Sorry for not keeping this thing going over the weekend. I’m figuring that, with November and December being fairly big holiday months, I’m allowed to slip a few…

Social Day

Work was alright – nothing spectacular. But afterwards, boy oh boy. Since Alex invited me out almost two weeks ago, I’ve felt… "not social enough." Bad to the point where I began wondering if I was seriously neglecting people that I called friends. At work today, Ben invited me to go see Fritz Lang’s Man…

Slowness

Damn, I’m beat. Doing laundry right now, and trying to relax a bit. Sorry for not having more to jabber about here. Hopping on a plane to Columbus tomorrow, and getting ready for that. Soon soon, I’m going to need a vacation from all this fun. :)

WORST_COMPANY_CHRISTMAS_PARTY_EVER

OK, so I’m exaggerating. We closed down early today, and everyone made their way over to Diversey Bowl. Free pizza, free booze, free bowling. I got to talk briefly to some of the other station folk (many of whom I don’t normally see on a daily basis). Had a few beers, bowled a few games….

Too Stupid For Words

If you ask me, this hurts poetry more than it helps. "Randomness and uncertainty is at the centre of how the universe is put together, and is quite difficult for us as humans who rely on order." Good Grammar = Grant Money

Hello World Without Credit Card Debt

*blinks* The… the world looks clearer. Sharper somehow. Has the sky always been this blue? This constant chipring and singing? Is that the birds? Are they always this happy? This is my last payment to my credit card company. I mailed this sucker earlier today, around lunchtime. All paid off! FREE! I AM DEBT FREE!…

Gallery

A long while ago, jverbal shared with me his code for his image gallery. Great stuff, using a combination of ASP, XML and Flash MX. After digging through it for a long while, today I put together my own variation. It’s not as slick as his (I’m not using ASP here, and the Gallery doesn’t…
