I’m sitting in my shorts, no shirt, the windows are wide open and it’s a cool 70 degrees outside. A slight breeze is coming in through the windows, cooling off what has been the sauna of my apartment. I’m two beers into the night, on an empty stomach, chatting with Juliet on Yahoo! and updating…
Tomorrow, Chelsea and I are going out for sushi. I’m looking forward to the meal, and to seeing her again. It’s been a long, long time since we’ve hung out, and that’s been primarily my fault. I’ve been avoiding her, and isolating myself a great deal. I hope the past few days are an indication…
Walking to the Liquor Store today, I ran into Michael, who does a lot of maintenance work for my landlord. My friend Steph also works for my landlord, and we were meeting to do a few photo shots for their business cards. I met Michael outside the office, cleaning off the sign for Universal Food…
There’s absolutely nothing on the walls here. I’ve got two rather nice bookshelves, but as far as any kind of artwork, photography… it’s just blank emptiness. Today at work, I decided to walk down to an art/print store, to see what wares they had on display. I found a few interesting looking "World’s Fair Chicago"…
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…
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…
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…

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
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.
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,…
