Chicago Exploration 08-07-08

Went out to Chicago again this weekend. Took a few photos of some new places.First destination - An abandoned shopping mall. Once in an area of great promise, now the area has descended into high crime and depression. The mall, used for the chase scene in the Blues Brothers movie, closed in 1978 and since [...]

Holy Freaking Crap, Batman.

I just saw the Dark Knight and it was seriously one of the best movies I’ve ever witnessed. The acting, action, and effects were friggin superb. It all started with a long wait in line which was not boring at all due to the company that I was with. We were all ushered into [...]

I’m IN - Dark Knight Screening!

After a long day of waiting for the timer at http://www.whysoserious.com/overture to come to an end, the day culminated with a frantic search across all of the Dark Knight ARG pages to find puzzle pieces which finally unscrambled to “Kickingandscreening”. I put my name into the website and was generated an honest-to-goodness pass to see [...]

Dark Knight - The Bat Signal in Chicago

We had heard about the ARG meetup from Cristin (as always). We met in Chicago a few hours before we were supposed to be there. There was a countdown on the site with two coordinates - one in New York City and one in Chicago. We met at Chicago at the time that it [...]

My Tire Blew Up AGAIN!

I have no idea what type of luck I have. It’s just bad. I was on my way back home to get ready for another job and I hear a low rumbling in the back of my car. I worry about it for a few seconds, thinking it might be a developing flat, but [...]

Moving Servers!

Just wanted to let any random readers know that I’m in the process of changing hosting. Apparently, Yurx, my old host, is in a crazy state of turmoil and I’m not sure if it’ll be lasting too long.
If everything goes how I’d like it to, the transition should be flawless and easy. Chances are that [...]

October 24th Freewrite

I have too much to write about in such a short time. Over the period of two days, I learned that I had a house available to me and moved into it. Right now we’re sleeping on a mattress on the floor. I didn’t have room in my car to carry anything large, so I [...]

Back Surgery Freewrite

We have daily freewrites in my English class and I’ve decided I’m going to post the interesting ones so that any readers that are straggling around can learn a bit about the writer of this blog.
This particular freewrite focuses on my back surgery, which happened two years ago. The picture to the left is actually [...]

Just re-discovered my GrandCentral

Just rediscovered my GrandCentral phone number. Basically it’s a number you create on the net that connects all of the phones you own to one central system. Online answering machine, forwarding, screening, fun fun stuff.
So give me a call sometime. Just click on that button below here and dial away. You’ll connect to me free [...]
