So you might remember this post from a while ago: Technology Luck Well the bad technology luck fairy struck again a week and a half ago. I went to start my beloved laptop, and it refused to boot, and never did again. Long story short, turned out the hard drive died. But not to worry, …
Rich White Folk
So I’m at the East Bank Club (humongous, incredibly nice fitness club in downtown Chicago) right now because my cousin has, let’s say, connections, and she hooks me up. It’s an amazing club, and I’m getting spoiled rotten by it, since I come down and workout for a while, and then sit and work from …
Desert Island Discs: Duke Ellington Greatest Hits [CBS Special Products]
My good friend Bethany has been doing this for a little while and has been encouraging me to do the same, so I figured it was about time. You can probably figure out the premise pretty quickly, but the idea is to review a CD that if you were trapped on a desert island, you …
Odd Talents
I’m hoping that this sounds both strange and relate-able. I feel like all of us have odd talents, or odd things that we consistently notice. One of the incredible things about being human is all the ways in which we can be similar, and all the ways in which we’re different. Thanks to our experiences …
So this is the New Year
and it’s about damned time I post something eh? Sheesh, sorry for the delay. I was in kind of an emotional funk for a while, and then I was traveling like mad. But I’ve been back in Chicago now for 5 whole days, so it’s probably about time that I posted something.So as I like …
NFL First Guessing – Week 17
So I don’t have a whole lot of time to post, and I have lots of Bears thoughts, but I’ll save that for a “Post-season Bears” post. Couple quick thoughts about last week’s game: – This does not mean we have a great team for next year, but it was nice to see a spark …
Some Christmas Thoughts
I figured since my last couple posts about Christmas were kind of depressing, I’d post a couple more thoughts that are at least not quite as depressing. I make myself sound more miserable than I really am through my songs and my posts, but it would be boring to just post about my day to …
Icicle Lights and Taxi Cabs
My first ever Christmas song, and if you read my recent post on Christmas spirit, you can probably guess that it’ll be a little depressing. Icicle Lights and Taxi Cabs The city sleeps awaiting the dawn The motions are there, but the magic is gone And I don’t know what I grieve Maybe just another …
NFL First Guessing – Week 15
I apologize for the lack of posting last week. I have no excuses. However, good news for all. I’ve made the Fantasy Football finals for the first time ever. And not only that, but I made it in both of my (main) leagues! So that’s exciting. And already, Heath Miller got me 0 points. So …
On Christmas Spirit (or lack thereof)
I’ve blogged before about my lack of Christmas spirit (see Silver Bells), and this year has certainly been no exception. In fact this year might be the worst. It could be the fact that I’m in a new location which is already ruining any sense of familiar, or it could be that I’ve just grown …
