Nighttime fog photographs rawk. Fogs are very hard to predict, the experts say it cannot be done. With the Meigs Field being torn down, we no longer have lakefront weather readings (to even attempt the prediction of fog in downtown…

We had finished packing the truck. And I was standing at the bottom of the hill by her apartment waiting for my sister and others to finish cleaning inside the apartment. I heard Kristina and then erik and andrea came…

Now that Mark put off the website till next week, I get to get my haircut, and organize my apartment and get ready to do laundry. That’s alotta “get”s in one sentence.

One of my illustrations in the Red Eye newspaper turned out totally wrong. The skin color of the character is GREEN. Freakin green! It’s soooo off. I’m so pissed. It looks like the dude got sick from eating the TV.…

Mark Bazer put off our meeting for the website. Which I’m glad, because I can do some more tweaking to his site. I was pretty prepared to present it to him, but this definitely gives me the chance to fine…

Other than Minute Maid Park, the worst field for Aramis throughout his career has been Wrigley Field. (This only counts fields where he’s had more than 65 career at bats). He is batting .232 at Wrigley. I’m hoping it’s just…

We just evacuated down from 14 to floor 11. And some security dude gave a little speechy-doo. Weird to have almost the whole company in one space. WINNER IS CINDY SCHU. The drill alarm went off at 9:52am Tuesday. Cindy…

got new shoes today. Normall $120, now $80. Kenneth Cole. Shoes I had looked at before and liked, but didn’t like to pay over $100. It pays to wait.

Stayed up really late working on Bazer’s website.

But the archives don’t seem to be working properly. I wonder why. Do i need to set something up special for them?

How does one roller blade only on one foot??

In the movies when an alien lands on earth and says “Take me to your leader.” What actually happened? Did they take the alien to see the president? Wouldn’t this be an unwise decision? Here you have this total unknown…
