Walking Home

I've made the trek from Danny's back home so many times now, it's old hat. The path back is down a bunch of neighborhood streets that are lit, but only dimly so. The streets are all off the main roads, and I'll usually see one or two cars actually drive [read more...]

Leslie Spins at Danny's

Headed over to Danny's tonight, to listen to Leslie spin a bit with her coworkers. It's a slow night there on Sundays, but I must say that I do prefer it there when it's very low-key. Not a lot of bodies to slide through to get to the bar, [read more...]

Acquainted with the night

by Robert Frost I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain—and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to [read more...]

Workstress

There's a crapton of things going on, on the work front. Lately, we've tried to set Friday delivery dates for projects, but have left options open so that we can deliver things the following Monday, if timing gets tight. What sucks is that lately, we've been doing the Monday deliveries. [read more...]

Happy Birthday Dave!

Dave's birthday is today, and a bunch of us met up at Handlebar to celebrate his big three-oh. I've heard a lot about this place. but tonight was my first night. Great food (I had the catfish tacos for dinner), and somebody behind the bar has an amazing pitching [read more...]

Stress--

Hanging out tonight really helped my mood considerably. I made it a point to try to sing in the shower, prior to the party, and that helped some. Normally, singing in the shower is a surefire way for me to actually improve my mood. But it wasn't until I got [read more...]

Goodbye Weekend

I guess this was an inevitable thing. Going to be working through the weekend. It's no longer a question of if but a question of how long. Big projects due Monday and Wednesday, and a smallish project due Tuesday (but I won't really be able to start it until Monday). [read more...]

Tripod Pics

5:47 AM

NOW I remember why I don't get up this early. The air actually hurts at this hour. I think it's got something to do with the sun not warming it enough yet or something scientific-y like that. *grumbles* *shuffles off to shower* [read more...]

Ultimate Garage: Video Shoot

This is Erica, the new Rock Girl over at The Loop. The video shoot today was pretty fun, as I got to sneak all around the set trying to grab shots here and there. During a brief down time, I asked Erica to pose for a few shots, and [read more...]

Updates... delayed

I spent a good while tonight, going over and processing photographs from the past three days. I was about to start doing some updates and realized I simply don't have the energy for it. A lot of fun stuff has happened recently, but so much has happened that I can't [read more...]

Day of Rest My Ass

Woke up this morning, grabbed a coffee, and sat down at the computer. Did a ton of prep work for that Ultimate Garage contest, getting the microsite together. I went through a lot of the photographs I took and that project is close to being completed. I ended up doing [read more...]

Justin Checks In

Ice Cream Solo Run

Around 6 PM, after a full day of sitting in front of the box... I found myself craving sweets. Which is weird, because I don't have a big sweet tooth at all. But for some reason, I really wanted a milkshake. And so, I set off down the street to [read more...]

Cat Sitting Week Begins

While Justin's away on vacation, a few of us are tag-teaming on the cat-sitting duties (three of us are taking a week each). Dave had round one, and today is the official hand-off. Next weekend, Howard will be taking over. This is a good thing for me. I'm now actively [read more...]

Walking Back Home

Today's been a flurry with work, and I ended up cabbing it over to Justin's, to check in on Nebula (my car battery is dead currently). I tried looking for a cab back, but ended up walking the whole way home instead. On my way back, I saw several things [read more...]

Workaholism

I take my job way too fucking seriously. I'm getting incredibly upset and stressing out in ways that are assuredly not healthy from both a personal and professional standpoint. I need to find a way to fucking unplug that doesn't involve booze or complaining. [read more...]

Disturbing Discovery

This afternoon, as I walked out my door to get my afternoon coffee, a line of elementary schoolkids walked by. It was a mix of kids, boys and girls, ranging in age (some really short kids, some kids as tall as me). As I walked down the street, I passed [read more...]

Hot Doug's

Poker and the Empty Bottle

Headed over to the boys' place this evening, after checking in on Nebula. En route to Chris' place, I spotted some more artwork on the corner of Damen and Thomas. This is a busy corner. Fast forward through a fun game of Texas Holdem with Chris, Eric and Will. [read more...]

Note to self

You had a fucking BLAST tonight. You got your agorophobic ass out of your apartment and hung out with friends, and went out. You met even more friends unexpectedly, and that made venturing out even better. You need to listen to more music, because there's a ton of shit you're [read more...]

Another Reason Why Andy is the man

Oh lookee here - a package from Q101? Andy mentioned that he was doing some spring cleaning around the promotions office, and was sending some stuff my way. Let's see. Hrm. Bear? Ok. Sure the whole "teddy bear inside" thing is funny. But the air hole? That's cute and [read more...]

Assigning Monetary Value to a Life

My first reaction, on seeing the poster for Moo Moose, was surprise. I walked by after glancing at it, and only some 15 feet later did the actual amount of the reward register. I turned around and walked back, so I could look at the sign again. My initial thought [read more...]

New songs, on the audioplayer (on the right). I'm thinking that I'm going to make this feature more of a covers thing. One song, but three different interpretations. I'm liking that approach so far. [read more...]
