the other night (and when i say night i mean like 6 in the morning because that's when i go to bed) keith and i went and got mcgriddles. i had never had a mcgriddle before because it pretty much sounded disgusting. but then i ate one...and liked it ( Read more... )

Today was angering. I haven't been angry in a while so I think I have a right to be angry every now and then. Keith and I were going to go to the mall and have my ring cleaned and go to Hot Topic to see if they had the new Lenore comic book yet because I'm not sure when it comes out. Then we were going to go to Bates so I could pick up some more ( Read more... )

so we had this camera that we were supposed to take pictures of the new apartment with but most of the pictures turned out to be us being idiots. witness the following. if the flash was employed there would be more :(

this is my new favorite thing in the world:

so this evening while keith, kevin, and i were enjoying a deliciously greasy meal at steak-n-shake, these three middle-age-ish guys came in and sat near us. Now I realize that because of appearance people are inclined to make ignorant comments about it, but usually one or two is plenty. It's annoying when the conversation about it lasts upwards of ( Read more... )

just got done processing two rolls of negatives in my new darkroom! huzzah! it was exciting and very frustrating. I didn't know if they were going to turn out because the chemicals were a bit past their 6 month shelf life. Also, I'm used to using a D76 developing agent and the developer I got from Ryan's wife was microdol-x. it was also frustrating ( Read more... )

Keith and I are moving on Friday and there's still a shit-ton of stuff that needs to be packed. Tomorrow is probably going to be hectic and crappy because i have to call about getting all the utilities switched and I have an orthodontist appointment and I have to go to Streator to get my other car back. I'm going to use it as an exciting ( Read more... )

yay! today keith and i went to allerton park and walked for like a million.87 miles, seriously. we could have died out there. keith apparently has a new interest in photography, so we're going to get him a camera and i'm going to show him how to use it properly and then i'm going to give him hardcore darkroom training. i get to get the majority of ( Read more... )

yesterday was good. kevin came over and hung out with me and keith. keith made me chicken and potatoes for dinner and had i any motivation and a roasting pan, i would have made a homemade cheesecake, instead of the no-bake that we wound up with. we were going to go to the fireworks, but it started drizzling so keith went to band practice instead.

Very early this morning on ESPN2 they had this program and apparently it was showcasing Great American Pasttimes...but these weren't regular pasttimes. The program that I wound up watching (which of course I would have turned off had it been a regular sport) was a hot dog eating contest. Eating hot dogs apparently is totally hardcore and patriotic ( Read more... )

I'm pretty sure the following is one of the most unintentionally funny headlines i've read in quite some time:
"Toxic red tide begins to recede in New England".
Yes. I know I'm disgusting, but come on, there is a hint of hilarity in it.
