Feeesh! And arts!
Well, currently at the house of haikujaguar and elusivetiger, along with two others from the local crowd. Our hosts were evil, and took us out to dinner, when we were hoping to take them out! Took us to Splash, a local seafood restaurant, which was gooooood. Midwestern boy misses his fish!
Course, as soon as haikujaguar and genet realized that the tablecloth was paper, and draw- ( Read more... ) -
We are Rain Gods!
So, genet and I are down in Florida at the moment, visiting relatives. Pretty much as soon as we got here, Florida was hit with its first rain since January. A tropical storm, no less! The amusing thing is, everyone's been apologizing like this must be ruining our vacation, but...y'know? We didn't really have any plans to hit the beach. This ( Read more... ) -
White Hen Pantry, Antioch
Just a friendly little warning to some of the locals!
Some of you when visiting may occasionally stop at the White Hen Pantry at North Ave and 83, for gas or snacks. It is my recommendation that you no longer do so. genet stopped there this morning, for gas and a soda. This is normal enough; we're nearly regulars there, living fairly close by ( Read more... ) -
"We're all going to die!" vs. "We're all going to be horribly maimed!"
Here I sit in my favorite airport in the whole world. Leaving ample time for travel delays of course ensured that everything went smoothly, thus allowing me plenty of time to soak up the ambiance. Having already availed myself of some OJ from one of the kiosks (*premium* OJ, no less...I can only assume the ice cubes floating therein are premium ( Read more... ) -
Dulce et Decorum Est
Just a little personal glee in this one. I'm sure genet, feren, and lady_curmudgeon will recognize this fine theatrical establishment!
Schadenfreude? Never!

O Holy Moly
Several folks at a party I was at last weekend expressed an interest in scoring their own copies of the glorious rendition of O Holy Night that was played (courtesy of the new iPod genet got me...thank you love!). I originally got it from The Sneeze; the site highlights it every year, just as a sort of painful tradition. Don't listen if you value your ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
So, my quest this year is apparently to work in as many of my company's buildings as possible (I'm up to 5). In the most recent one, there are many nice amenities (on-site cafeteria and bank, free coffee), but some oddities too. Chief among these is the bathroom for my area ( Read more... ) -
I'm exhausted
A couple weeks back, I received my next assignment at work. It's pretty high-profile, and I can't give too many details, but suffice it to say, it's keeping me pretty busy. Especially since I still have responsibilities on my old project, too. Hooray, for transitions ( Read more... ) -
genet update!
Just popping in from the hospital waiting room to let folks know that genet's surgery went completely routine. They were able to take out the gall bladder endoscopically, so no major incisions needed, the whole thing took under an hour. She's in recovery now, I should be able to see Her Groggyness shortly ( Read more... )
