Love this place. I get there way too early and end up hanging around outside for 15 minutes. But when everyone arrives, we head inside and start a few pitchers of sangria. The last time I was here was for Dave’s birthday, way back, and I like the idea of associating this restaurant with celebrations….
Rey called me into his office today, and we had a talk about my role with the Interactive Team. He gave me an offer for a full-time position, and I accepted immediately. So… gainful, permanent employment once more. Freelancing was nice while it lasted, what with paid overtime. But full-time work is equally good, with…
persist threw a nice link up on Waiting for Godot. A very cool java applet.
Walking to the train this morning. Found this:
I talked to Kent and Christine over the weekend, and we made plans to have dinner this evening. After getting coordinated around 6 PM, it turns out Kristine was unable to join us – she was behind on some work. So… Kent and I decide to venture it alone. We meet on the corner of…
Funny video here. Warning to dialup users – I think this one’s a monster.
1. Alone. I can smell everyone and their food. This is no way to live. 2. There is an old man across from me, paying bills. Happy? Or drowning? 3. Lonely girl with your book: what do you read and will you read it to me? 4. Four chairs, an empty table. They circle with…
I was a maniac on the phone today. I called and talked to people I hadn’t spoken to in… well, in too long. I’m trying to become more social, now that the Alabama event is over. For a while there, I had my mind focused on a series of things – new job, moving, WH…
Ok. I didn’t have much time to update things my last two days in Alabama. So, here’s a slight recap. On Friday, I was to give a short talk on Flash and multimedia and literature. Fun stuff. The whole day, I ate next to nothing. I was nervous about getting the class site working, and…
Saturday morning, Sandy and I planned on having a few hours to go over Flash some more. Because I was busy the whole week with the class, we decided to carve some time on Saturday. She was asking some interesting, challenging questions – and we had fun exploring some more advanced techniques. I introduced her…
Here’s some video I took of my plane landing at Midway. Warning to dial-up folks: 1.5 MB.
Heather and I went to Munch for some food this morning/afternoon. We stopped to pick up her friend Jenn, who I got to meet and who was very nice. Nearby, we came across a small yard sale – nothing that great, except Jenn found this old Alf doll (which was actually a hand puppet). Had…
Woke up on the couch. Realized I was not in my bed. Decided it was ok, and went back to sleep.
Sorry – no big update tonight. Three beers and a bit of UT later, I think I’m heading for bed soon. Pizza arrived, and I don’t foresee myself lasting much longer. Gotta be up early tomorrow, anyhow. Heather and I are going to grab some breakfast, and maybe some Halloween costume shopping. To tide you…
Updating things now. I’m back home, going through files, getting some pics ready for you fine folks. My cat remembers me, which is a good sign. I’m really tired and worn out. But like most nights in Alabama, my body wants sleep but the rest of me is still buzzing and humming away. Working on…
