I stopped by to
I stopped by to see Stacey, Shane and Jasmine. Today was their last day in the hospital, and I was heading back to Chicago. In many ways, we were all going back to our respective homes. I got to hold Jasmine for a good while today, and waited around [read more...]
Billiards @ Clubfoot, Part 2
Stopped in at Justin's place, and met up with Justin, Howard and Craig (who was visiting from Eugene, OR and who I first met at a backyard cookout many months ago). I was greeted with smiles, and a tupperware container full of mashed Jello shots (which I called Jello [read more...]

Artful Dodging
Met up with Liz and Steph, and had several drinks at the Artful Dodger. Good conversations, and a lot of laughs as per usual - always great to spent time with them. I got two good book recommendations that I need to check out, in the coming weeks. [read more...]

Today was Kashif's first
Today was Kashif's first day, as he's helping out part-time with some development work. Despite the fact that we have a smallish area, we were able to find him an empty cube where he could set up shop. Anyone recognize that fancy flower-covered Mac in the background? [read more...]

Rejection Letter (finally)
I sent this stuff out in April. Note to anyone considering trying to get poetry published... this shit takes a while. Prepare yourself for a lot of waiting until those rejection letters come in. [read more...]
Flying Solo
So I showed up to Inner Town way early. I was expecting Justin to arrive around 9:30 PM, and so got here right around 9. I misheard him, as he didn't walk in until more about 10:30 PM. For a good hour, I just hung out by myself at a [read more...]
Notes
I'm sitting at a bar alone for the first time in what feels like a year. Now that I no longer smoke, it's hard to figure out how to occupy my hands, my time. Most everyone else here is in a group or pair. It feels awkward to sit alone [read more...]
Friends++
Around 10:30, Justin shows up, along with Craig and Michael shortly thereafter. I had relocated myself closer to the pool table, partly so I could know when I was up... and also so I could just *watch* the game. For lack of anything better to do, I wanted to at [read more...]

Kelly Dobson's ScreamBody: a very cool device, for when you need to scream in a potentially inappropriateplace. If you can, check out the Full-size movie for more info on how she created the thing. Is it wrong that I think she's hot? I mean, on TOP of the fact [read more...]

On the way to work
Saw these in the street, right near the Damen Blue Line stop. What is it with me and old balloons? Shortly after this, I walked up to the platform at the Damen stop. There was a guy using a snowblower on the far West side, and I really should [read more...]

Rachelle runs one of the few blogs that I actually frequent with any regularity. I like her images a great deal, and she's one of the few out there who updates her blog daily. Recently, her camera broke down and she's trying to figure out what her next camera [read more...]
As Featured on MSNBC.com
That's right! Yours truly got a (very) brief mention on msnbc.com. It's in an Op-Ed column written by Will Femia (January 6, 2005). It's a one line mention, but hey... I'm a famewhore, so I'll take what I can get. Woot! Looking over my referrer logs has become something [read more...]
Perspicacity
As excited as I get by mentions from places like msnbc and metafilter, it should be noted that other, less prestigious sites are also linking to me. Oh Internet... what a wide and diverse rainbow you are! [read more...]

Thanks, Matt
Got a link to a great poem yesterday, from Matt. I rarely see villanelles that I actually like, but this one ranks among the few. Read it through, and see if you notice the frequency of the repetitions. What I like most about trying to write repeating lines is using [read more...]
How Long Do You Think the Human Race Will Exist?
by Emily Lloyd I don't worry much about humanity, my wife replies. I think that we'll evolve. Ecclesiastes tells me all is vanity, that nothing new will happen for eternity, and yet. . . I think we're starting to dissolve. I don't worry — much. About humanity: what will be [read more...]

Found Magazine @ Intuit Gallery
Attended a Found Magazine show at Intuit Gallery. I didn't get to really attend their last show (Dirty Found), so it's been a long while since I've seen aFound event. Great stuff stuff tonight, as you'll soon see. Justin invited me to help set up the place a few [read more...]

Hey, I recognize that picture
Halfway through the reading, Jason interrupts and takes the stage with a man who looks a little shy and a little proud, all at the same time. As it turns out, he had brought in a clipping from Elle magazine, where Found has a small page/section in the back. Turns [read more...]

This was pretty fun. Davy was telling everyone how much mail they have been getting lately, and gave a bit of background on how the entire submission/evaluation process worked. But more than that, he wanted to share with everyone in the audience how much fun it was, to go [read more...]
Hey, I recognize that guy...
Everyone, meet Karen and Tom. After the show, as I was milling around near the back... a guy taps me on the shoulder. He asks if I have some kind of website or project that deals with detailing everyday things. I say yes, thinking that he's someone who recognizes [read more...]
Note to self
If you're interested or intrigued by something, disregard the worry that it's silly or ridiculous. Remember that there's someone else out there, equally curious, and equally as fascinated as you are. [read more...]

Yesterday, I was a bit hesitant to whip out my camera to record the snowblower guy. Today, however, I shrugged off my self-consciousness, and snapped a photo of this bin. I've seen these big things around at the outdoor stops, but never really knew what was inside. I figured [read more...]
