Hung out with Dustin
Hung out with Dustin and Sherie tonight, as they were in town prior to heading out to Vegas. I cabbed it on over to John and Rick's place - two guys I originally met last May, when Dustin and Ty were in town for their housewarming. Hung out there [read more...]

Sorry about the lack of
Sorry about the lack of updates, people. I'm usually not this bad about getting stuff posted on here. But, then again... I'm usually not quite such a social butterfly. I've been out almost every night this week, and so I haven't had much of a chance to tend to the [read more...]

Everyone else has had more sex than me
My friend (and coworker)
My friend (and coworker) Matt recently purchased a house, and has since spent a great deal of time, money, and energy improving the spaces. Today, I went over and took a few photos for him. He's renting out the top two units, and wanted some photographs to post with [read more...]

Cropchecker CD Now Available
Recently, I spent a quick 22 hours in Columbus, there to see some friends of mine play in a band called Cropchecker. Their CD is now available on cdbaby - go check'em out and give a listen. [read more...]
Walking to Blockbuster
With me being a social butterfly this week, I've been pulling the hermit thing all weekend. Today was exceptional outside, but I spent most of it indoors. I walked down to Blockbuster around 5PM to grab some movies, and happened across some fun images right at the corner near [read more...]

Click to hear some fucking cussing. This is an oldie, but still something that makes me smile every time I see it. In fact, I liked it so much, I went so far as to actually host a copy of this guy on my server. Be warned: this has [read more...]

When I have a stomachache
by Yehuda Amichai When I have a stomachache, I feel like the whole round globe. When I have a headache, laughter bursts out in the wrong place in my body. And when I cry, they're putting my father in the ground in a grave that's too big for him, and [read more...]
This lot (which was
This lot (which was home to what I believed was a strong house) has been dormant over the past few months. With the snowfall and cold, everything here has been on hold - the wheelbarrow perpetually hanging from the forklift, high above the ground. If you go back to [read more...]
Let's Hear it for the Vandals
What I love about this sticker (Damen Blue Line stop) is that it's been placed here as a means of protest/criticism. Granted, it's not spray-paint or graffiti, and not something I'd call outright vandalism per se, but this sticker is still (by definition) defacement. But lo and behold - [read more...]

Today, Andy came in and brought us a few items from Marketing/Promotions. These things either never got given away, or had been lying around for a long, long time. The first item was a Shrek doll, which Mike was going to give to his wife's 2nd grade class. The second [read more...]

This competition is open to all residents of Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Wisconsin, who are unpublished or who have published no more than one full-length book of poetry, [read more...]
This is a pretty
This is a pretty addictive game, right here. Be warned, though - there's this totally obnoxious sound effect of lightning striking at loadup. Perhaps it's somebody's idea of branding, but it's just way too much. The creator of the game is Lightning Games, though their website is currently down. [read more...]
The New Lord and Master
It's the end of an era! The king has been usurped! In a quick and bloody post-work game, Kashif emerges as the victor - and the new wielder of the LORD AND MASTER STEIN™. And for the second time in its brief history, a non-Emmis employee wields the stein [read more...]
The Perry Bible Fellowship
The Perry Bible Fellowship - great, great stuff here. I got this link courtesy of Infourm. Great comics here, and they run the gamut - touching, depraved, and all totally hilarious. And hey - how about this? I was looking around the site (PBF is only a facet of [read more...]

Beechwood
After Rena went back to the hotel, a bunch of us went to Beechwood for more drinks. I got into some interesting conversations (and was recommended a book: The Aqautic Mammal). Some fun talks, but the reclusive side of me kicked in around 11:00PM, and I took an early exit. [read more...]

This is a new army man that's popped up on my route to work. And you know the weird thing? This isn't the first time I've taken a picture of the corner of this house. And another one! I swear, it feels like somebody's fucking with me here. New [read more...]
Walking Back From Lunch
Ben and Justin stopped in to CDW, and had a few errands to run. Chris and I ended up walking back to the office together, and we spotted a few things en route. After looking around some, we determined that this was a bracelet that spelled out "Chicago." While [read more...]
It will be enough
Rena was in town this weekend, along with Christine (converging from both coasts). I first met Rena a while back, at Kent and Christine's wedding. And shortly after that, attended a going-away party for her. Tonight, she had a solo show at Zg Gallery, entitled It Will Be Enough. [read more...]
Ben Butler
Ben Butler is another artist who was on display at the gallery. A few pieces in a small sideroom. But since I've got this thing about symmetry, I had to take a few pics. [read more...]
Post-Show Drinks
Not sure where this was, but we hit a nearby bar for a quick drink. Rena was feeling a bit tired (and had been under the weather lately), and so a bunch of us hung out briefly, post-show. Here's a quick pic of Dave, who I hadn't photographed all [read more...]

I spent a few hours talking on the phone tonight with Gretchen, someone who had stumbled across my blog a while back and emailed me out of the blue. She was interested in starting her own blog up (although I think she still is working out what it is, exactly, [read more...]
Slight Spring Cleaning

Meeting with Alicia

We had been planning a meeting to talk about possible collaborative prjects for some time now, and finally got together tonight.
