Had a nice weekend. Didn't make it to Tiny Lounge as planned, but stopped by The Gingerman, Liars Club, and somehow ended up at Exit Saturday night. Sunday night we were supposed to go to the Liars Club Christmas party, …
So Christy and I aren't doing gifts for each other this year.So since we have a fireplace in this apartment... I believe Santa might just make a stop late on the 24th, put up a couple stockings (which we noticed that we …
I'm a creature of habit. I blame it mostly on the good 'ole U.S. Army. In the Army's eyes, to avoid complacency, and mental hardships when deployed in a situation where you are doing the same damn thing every day - you s…
So far this week sucks. It's quite possible it stems from a weekend that wasn't speant doing what I like doing on my weekends as of late... nothing. I did laundry (gulp - hadn't really done any since thanksgiving, starte…

Ever wonder how much Coke you can drink before dying???Wonder no longer.http://www.energyfiend.com/death-by-caffeine/Personally I only drink one or two a week. Luckily they have Coffee on there as well. …
Snow.Snow makes commuting hell.Think I'm getting a really early start back to the city today. It took me close to 3 hours to get home yesterday. No way that's going to happen to me two days in a row - let alone on a Frid…
If you feel a little too jovial and need to be brought down and made angry, give this report a listen. I really can't believe it. I love NPR news while doing the commute, but damn it get's depressing. I can't believe tha…
I've decided that if (when) I win a huge sum of money (sure... it'll happen) nobody will ever know. Except the wife of course, and my parents, they wouldn't have to work ever again, or even worry about it. Of course I'd …
Had a few martinis with a few friends last night celebrating another friend's last shift at a bar the CTA is replacing with elevated tracks. No more Tiny Lounge soon.But good news for today:From Cnn:WASHINGTON (Reuters)…
Embrace your inner superhero...Yet another example of just how much of a nerd I can be.Had a nice weekend. Did almost nothing. Went to bed at 8pm Friday night, slept until about 9:30 the next morning. That felt soooooo g…
So a band last night totally impressed me. They are the Black Keys. I tell you... very 70's influenced dirty rock and roll with a whole lot of real blues guitar. It's a two piece band, just a drummer and a guitar player …
Had something in my eye last night that kinda freaked me out. Couldn't get it out, even with flushing my eye out with water. I could look in the mirror and see it even, as a white speck right by my pupil. I finally got i…
