a couple of weeks ago, i got a parking citation for being in a spot for longer than two hours in a two-hour zone when i had actually left for lunch and come back to the same spot. It felt worth a trip to downtown to try to dispute it. I took the day off today to take care of a bunch of errands in preparation for the drumline party tonight and ( Read more... )

on friday night i played cards until roughly 03:30, meaning that i missed the last street car before they started up again at 05:30. i didn't feel like continuing to play cards, so i left and decided to walk home. grabbing a taxi would have been easy, but i'm trying to get a bunch of walking in, my apartment is roughly three miles away, so i ( Read more... )

yesterday when i was coming home from work, one of the traffic lights i had to go through had a glitch that i had never seen before.

i'm not sure if it's primarily a sensor traffic light (it definitely has sensors in the road for the photo-enforced deal) or a timed thing because it's on a fairly major intersection, particularly during rush hour ( Read more... )

i don't go to starbucks often here. aside from not being a coffee drinker, the uptown starbucks is not on the side of uptown that i frequent because it's past my point of employ. But this morning after a doctor appointment, i had to head vaguely in that direction to drop off a prescription, so i decided to stop in and grab an iced tea and a ( Read more... )

So i got up at 04:00 to catch my 05:30 flight. Connecting flight was to houston. fifty-five minutes in the air, my connecting flight was supposed to leave at 07:07.

when we got on the plane, the crew announced that they were having some sort of mechanical issue that was going to take roughly 30-45 minutes to resolve. They wanted to get some ( Read more... )

I played poker last night. The intention was to stop playing at 02:30 so that i could grab something to eat and then catch the last streetcar which was scheduled for 03:15 - the next street car after that wouldn't be until 05:45ish and i didn't want to make last night an all-nighter like i had the previous two weekends.

it was still tempting to ( Read more... )

so i was outside of my porch area doing some drumming and filming for "drumming with isaac" when the next door neighbor who i've previously only been "hi" friendly with came to talk to me. turns out he's a filmmaker.

next week he's doing this project that's part of a big collection of five minute films that will likely be shown nationwide. He ( Read more... )

this morning in the laundromat while i was waiting for my laundry to finish in the dryers, i had my headphones in listening to the Traveling Dream of the Inception App whilst working on a semi-important email to a friend, and i was interrupted by a woman sitting not too far away from me who was similarly waiting for her laundry to dry.

she was ( Read more... )

so i have an account on fandalism. earlier today, another member named Aniruddha Bhattacharya contacted me via private message complimenting me on my recent upload of my Shifting Signals Zero backing track. He also asked me some questions about the composition.

I went to go access the fandalism page and discovered that the site was down. this ( Read more... )
