I know, deep down, that Chicken McNuggets are made out of rat tails and rooster anuses. But I can’t help it – I like them. Particularly for road trips. If I’m driving a long enough distance to necessitate food, I will often stop at McDonald’s and get the biggest order (20 pieces). I’ve found them…
I leave work around 3 PM. I’m out in the suburbs, so it takes me almost 2 and 1/2 hours to get past the city, anywhere near I-65 South to Indianapolis. For some reason, every time I pass this particular overpass… I think of brontosaurs. Not sure why, but I do: Once you actually enter…
On Thursday, I purchased a new CD player for my car. My friend and coworker Josh agreed to help me install the thing today, and I sat in the back feeling generally useless and snapped a few photos:
On the way to work, I was filled with nervous energy, thinking about the road trip to Columbus. The drive in was good, and I finally got that poem-I-want-to-write feeling once more. I was going to be driving into the night, heading across three states, had a pint of whiskey in the trunk, would be…
Packing right now. Laundry is tumbling in the dryer, I’m sleepy as can be, and I’m sipping on a beer. Gathering my CD’s together, and inventorying (is that even a word?) what I need for a short jaunt over to Cow Town. This will be fun. My first road trip back to Columbus in ages,…
Got up early today, so I could make it to work earlier. I’m heading to Columbus, OH, to attend a farewell party for two great folks – Megan and Jim Fox. Lots of pics to come soon, the bulk of which will be drunken writers with a cookout theme. :D As I woke up, I…
After dinner, we decided to have a few more beers and headed to the Artful Dodger. A nice place, fairly quiet, dark, low key… and great, if you’re there before it gets too packed. There’s a dance floor in the back, which I’ve never seen and probably never will see. Not a big dancer, me….
We went to Blue Fin, had a beer with dinner, and got caught up on current events between the two of us. All day, I was a bit apprehensive, and a bit excited. It felt good to see Chelsea again, and tonight felt like a positive step towards us becoming friends again. The sushi was…
In the misguided attempt to provide you, dear reader, constant entertainment and information… I’ve resorted to snapping pictures from my car, while driving. That’s right – I’m risking life and limb to bring you the most pure "snapshot" of what I’m seeing, as I’m seeing it, diesel fumes and all. This is me, heading Southwest…
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…
