I Make Jenny Promise

Jenny took the train into work today, but I drove. At 5:30 PM, I offered to give her a lift back to her car, and she accepted. We had a nice conversation along the way, and she asked about the pictures I took a few weeks back. I balked a bit at giving her this URL, but did anyways. Before…

Dental Psychoanalysis

Driving in to work, I got that good morning feeling I’ve been trying to recapture (see ‘The Muse Has Been Having Teeth Issues‘). Felt great driving on the Kennedy, despite having woken up late as a result of yesterday’s work. Made it in about 10 minutes late… which, for waking up an hour later than normal… is good. Even though…

Dentist Dread

I had my dental appointment today, and went to see Dr. Tobias, D.D.S. He found my gum bleeding "curious," and seemed really intrigued by the whole thing. I felt incredibly bad – he had to clean up five years worth of muck and awfulness that is the inside of my mouth. He could tell I was nervous, and made it…

Fate vs. Free Will: Fate? Or Free Will?

Juliet pointed out to me that that entry I was going to make, about love and fate and free will? Well, I never got around to writing it. Because I decided not to? Or because it was destined to never be written? Did I ever mention how Juliet likes to give me shit? :D

Working Version

Around midnight, I have a working version that I’m happy with. I send it off, and plop down to sleep. I toss and turn for almost an hour, unable to fully fall asleep. Even now, as I type this… my wrists and hands ache. Working version is here.

I Order Chinese Food

Coffee all day. Ordered some Chinese food (delivered), and kept on working. Why is it that, when I order Chinese, I only want crap? My parents owned a number of restaurants when I was a kid, and continue to run one now. The current restaurant, Yummy’s (I hated the name at first), aims at actual, authentic food. But when I…

Blog as Psuedo-Honest Dialogue Between Friends

"If you didn’t want me to know about it," says Alex, "you should never have linked to my site. That’s how I found it." Early at the start of this blog, I was hesitant to "give out" the address. I was worried that it would somehow compromise my ability to say what I was thinking, for fear of my friends…

Justin Gets Things Rolling

I woke up early today, around 8 AM, and logged some hours in on fine tuning the rough interface for the radio station project (Warning: Requires the Flash plug-in). I got the basic mechanics working with blobs of color. The game is a "matching" game, where baby pictures of radio station DJ’s (that’s jocks, if you want to use the…
