As I’m walking home, I get to feeling fairly sad. I wish I had someone that I was enamored with, someone that I was pining over. Some bigger purpose or focus or person on which I could lavish my attention. Where’s the passion? The intensity? I go to work, I work, I come home, I…
Justin’s new apartment is about the same distance from the Division stop, as it is from the Damen (my) stop. So… he stays on the train and gets off on Damen with me. We chat a bit, and then he asks where we’re heading for drinks. :D Right about then, Gretchen calls. We decide to…
All day today, I had nothing to eat. Around 1 PM, Justin takes off to meet the cable modem guy at his new apartment. Ben and I work some more, mention going out for lunch… and the next thing I know, it’s closing in on 4 PM. By this time, I figure shit… it’s just…
Well, this morning I showed Ben what I did over the weekend, and he seemed happy to see the progress. I think I surprised him, as he was only expecting a few components – and not 90% of the functionality. When Rey saw it, he didn’t seem all that enthused, but I guess the important…
I was up until 3 AM or so, organizing those pictures and updating the blog. Started out a bit after midnight, and time sorta got away from me. Next thing I know, I’m talking to a few folks online and ka-BLAMMO! It’s 4 AM. By the time I say goodnight to everyone, it’s 4:30. I…
Alright. I’ve had nothing to eat all day save coffee. Around 3:30 or so, I hit the shower and run to the store to pick up supplies. To make Chinese Dumplings, you don’t really need all that much – a few things here and there. As someone who’s not a good cook, I think this…
*yawn* Of course, I’m checking WH links and updating this blog… instead of getting straight to work.
I have to say – I’ve never really watched Seinfeld all that much. Another area where I haven’t devoted brain space. But I know a ton of folks who have put in the hours for this show, as much as I’ve put in towards the Simpsons. This was the first I heard of a movie…
Heather left me a message today, and I called her back when I got home. She asked if I’d like to go with her to her friend Patrick’s cookout tomorrow, though she wasn’t sure on the time. For me, I was planning to spend tomorrow working on that Flash project for Ben, and maybe making…
Right as I’m walking up Marshfield towards Justin’s apartment, I see Alex heading the opposite way. Talk about synchronicity. We knock, but there’s no answer. So, like the two good Indiana boys that we are… we naturally take to a bit of curb squatting and chat. Within a few minutes, Justin shows up from a…
Puttering isn’t the right word, but it’s the first word that comes to mind. I made a rather indifferent lunch of rice, tofu, green peppers, mushrooms and onions. Eh. Didn’t really get all that much done, to be honest. I was to meet Justin at 2:00 PM, to help him go pick up a truck…
Not too bad, not too bad. Came home drunk, but not violently so. Had about 3 drinks with Ed before we called it a night. Caught up some, and relaxed with the sun as the day turned into nighttime. Oddly, the same guy was sitting at the bar from the last time Ed and I…
Ah, good old, overpriced Leopard Lounge. The running joke, back when all of us ImageCare/Axiom people used to work together, was that we were only going in for one drink, that’s it. Of course, it typically turned into some horrific bacchanalian outing where we each spent roughly $50 each. But I swear to Christ, this…
This was a short day today. I got in around 9:30 or so… and got a medium coffee at the Starbucks downstairs. Though I hate to go there, it’s the closest place (unless I decide to switch to Dunkin Donuts coffee). A chain… but whaddyagonnado? I spent the morning watching Ben work through one of…
I decided to grab a picture of the building that I work in, the Merchandise Mart. I heard from Justin that it’s bigger (if you’re measuring square footage) than the Empire State Building. I’m not really good assessing things on this scale – but let it be said that the MM is friggin’ huge. Also…
