Mary Beth and I went up to Impossible Language last night. This time it was sort of guest curated by a group over from Fayetteville, AR. All the poets were really good. Later in the night we went to a party over at Jesse's. There was supposed to be karaoke but there were technical issues. Mostly just people talking. Most of the people were fine but ( Read more... )

Got up this morning and went to the writers' workshop. So some more prompts and a few more beginnings of things that will probably be pretty good if I ever finish them...like all the ones so far that I haven't finished! After that, since I was around the corner I figured I'd swing by Heather's bookstore. I thought there was supposed to be a star ( Read more... )

Went to the gym last night. Nothing intense, just steady cardio for a while. Today at work, John was crossing the street from a meeting in the other building and slipped and fell and someone had taken him to the hospital. He ended up fracturing his elbow. I wasn't around for all that, but I did drive his car home to him. Other than that, those ( Read more... )

Last night Mary Beth introduced me to some Red Dwarf which I had never seen before and the few episodes I saw were really dern funny. She also noticed a had a little bit of a rash on my stomach. Hm. I noticed she was right. Then I wake up this morning and it's spread on my arms and other places. I felt it a little bit on my left arm but it seemed ( Read more... )

Did work stuff at work today. Working on this one thing where I'm encountering some new stuff so I've spent a while just trying to wrap my head around all that. Think I was finally starting to figure it out at the end of the day. But I'm using events (and delegates) in c# and I've never done that before. I guess it's a bit like callbacks in ( Read more... )

A pretty normal day at work today. But I do have a couple bits I'd forgotten from earlier posts. First is the Radiohead show. The bass was really loud, which can be cool but it often swallowed the other instruments. That's all, just a memory of that aspect of the show. Didn't stop it from being a good show of course, but wanted to make note of that ( Read more... )

So work. Blah blah blah. Kinda normal day. Got another email from my employer that the freeze in raises has been extended at least another month. Big surprise, yeah. Oh, but we're assured that the system of periodic raises as an integral and important and essential component of the program. Alright. There was a production issue there was a meeting ( Read more... )

Got out on the road yesterday a little later than expected. Zach was delayed in picking up his rental car. But we made it to Atlanta. Was expecting traffic to be horrible given the collapsed bridge, but it really wasn't bad at all. Less bad than any time I remember being in Atlanta. Maybe being the weekend had something to do with it. Anyway, we ( Read more... )

Finally got a chance to look at fonts yesterday but still nothing was right, so I said fuck it and proceeded to make my own damn font (at least the characters I would use in my logo). So I found some website where you can design your own font that probably isn't the best and easiest way to do it but I got it done and reworked it a few times til I ( Read more... )

I went to an Indie Memphis screening last night. A movie called Cheerleader and it was really good. Mary Beth was going to go too, but she was still feeling overwhelmed from all the activity of our near week-long trip and didn't feel up to more activity. So I left the extra ticket for whoever showed up after me. It was a high school kinda movie, ( Read more... )
