Seriously thinking about blowing off my father's birthday to go to this.

Maybe I'm paying for my nighttime funtime romp in the snow in Saturday's wee hours, because now I'm sick. Oh well... I'm glad I did that while I still could, since it's warmed up considerably (now it's raining) and I don't think I'll be playing on the river any more. The ice sculptures have collapsed. Looks dangerous. So much for the MLive/WCBN ( Read more... )

Bri's post on The ACME HEARTMAKER has reminded me to mention yet another stupid, shoddy project which I am certain to abandon, but will ask for your help with anyway.

That you can forget.

I'm trying, dammit everybody, I'm ( Read more... )

Ok, I do have something pleasant and upbeat to share from the past few days. I've been really jealous of the fun stuff Chris finds in Argo Park, like the disemboweled duck or the old man making ice sculptures, and I haven't seen the fox or any rabbits for a long time ( Read more... )

I removed affluenza from my interests list here because I discovered something really telling: vacation, to me, is all about HEMORRAGING MONEY.

$pent a long weekend in Chicago with Sean and Becky, tried - and mostly failed - to hook up with some other old friends in the area, but mostly c o n s u m e d. Nearly all satisfying but only one that's ( Read more... )

You may have (but probably haven't, considering we're going to be at war in a month or two) heard the Bush administration has proposed a *revised* National Forest Management Act (NFMA), which would eliminate most of the protection currently granted our national forests (including wildlife). The new NMFA would open up more than 190 million acres of ( Read more... )
