I'm really glad I wrote this post because I feel like it gave me the motivation I needed to refuse to take no for an answer from the airlines. Long story short: I found a flight at 9:30 am and, while I got no sleep, I *did* get to Chicago.

And I also got to see vulgarweed! We had dinner and walked around the old 'hood and just generally tried to catch up on ( Read more... )

It's 2:30 in the morning. I've been awake for 22 hours now, up at 4:30 am to be in Midtown by 6:00 am, to wait on line for tickets to SNLI went through the line twice. One the first pass I got standby ticket #65 for the dress rehearsal. On the second (and third) pass I got ticket #107 (and ticket #114, in case I could find a friend to come with me ( Read more... )

It's cold and it's snowy and I don't want to get out of my pajamas, much less venture outside. So instead I'll give you a bunch of December photos. These probably won't be all of them, but it's at least a greatest hits album.

I'm currently sitting at ... MacSERV? I think. It's a computer place in South Jersey and I've come to hear aaronbenedict speak. He's such a wiseguy. I love listening to him crack his silly jokes.

So far this trip we've had dinner with his father and stepmother, and we almost had lunch with ratphooey, but a sick child necessitated her begging off at the last moment. We ( Read more... )

I'm home after driving many hours on very few hours' worth of sleep. I've eaten one of my Little Devils (purchased on a trip to Sticky Fingers while in DC), and I know that I need to sleep soon. But before I do, I wanted to share my favorite photo of the day:

Wow. Sleep is kind of an amazing thing, huh? I crashed hard at around 8:00 last night and now it's not even 6:00 am and I'm totally awake and feel worlds better. I mean, no, I'm not happy, by any stretch, but I'm trying to remember things that nirbhao and n0thingman said, trying to remember that even when we were "together," he could be really mean, and make me ( Read more... )
