Wednesday, May 11th, 2005One great thing about working where I do: There’s a Packer Backer in our midst. For the love of god, click the photo.
… So You Can’t Get Me Anymore
Tuesday, May 10th, 2005The doors to both the areas where I work have those five-number combination locks on them, where you punch in the code before you open the door. After a while with the same code, it gets to where even though you don’t necessarily remember the numbers, your hand remembers which code to punch in — [...]
Time Check
Monday, May 9th, 2005So this baby sure is coming. At T-minus ten weeks, I’ve experienced my first Deeply Weird If Relatively Benign Fatherhood Moment. I was doing nothing in particular the other day when the words “my son” or “my daughter” floated through my head, or would’ve floated through my head had they not dropped to the bottom [...]
Notes on this weekend
Sunday, May 8th, 2005SATURDAY: These things occurred at or near the coffee shop: • An ice cream truck playing the Lambada theme in an endless cheery electronic loop pulled up at a bar across the street and sat, idling, for just a little too long. • Though I don’t know if anyone got themselves murdered, I do know [...]
Comma, misty watercolor
Saturday, May 7th, 2005When I was a kid there was this crazy old lady who lived somehwere in the neighborhood and had a tiny skittery dog named Polka.

“Mixed Signals.”

COUNTERPOINT: On my way back from lunch I looked up and saw four Army Blackhawk helicopters speeding toward downtown at low altitude. Interpret [...]

Wednesday, May 4th, 2005I’ve been so fucking busy this week I can’t even tell you. After tomorrow I will be significantly less busy. This I can tell you. I will be a happier moron when I am less busy. This, I can also tell you. In the mean time, please enjoy this photograph of Sal. And please send [...]
The Devil’s Odometer
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005Just pretend that nine at the end is upside down, and that I was actually ready to snap this picture at the right time, and that I haven’t been having a shitty day. Okay? Can we do this for me? Can we just pretend this is an awesome picture? Just lie to me. It’s fine. [...]
You ain’t got no alibi
Tuesday, May 3rd, 2005So my dear Ms. Brown sent me this mildly hilarious article from the New York Times (you’ve gotta be registered to read it, but registering is free) about a study showing that parents seem generally less concerned with the safety and well-being of unattractive children than attractive ones. In addition to being funny, it got [...]
