Oh, happy, happy Friday. Some good citizen brought doughnuts to share with fellow office-dwellers.

It’s a beautiful chilly, rainy autumn day.

It’s too late to keep working on ads and stuff. I must be getting old. I used to be able to design stuff all night long.

To add a comma or not to add a comma, that is the question that The Chicago Manual of Style must answer.

Arg! I tried a second cup of coffee from the office caffeine dispenser and it is still horrible.

Thanks to all those who attended the Writers at Home Series today at Malaprop’s.

I think I’ll call it quits for awhile and enjoy the wonderful autumn weather outside.

Normally I don’t mind The Dripolator’s instore music selection—most days I prefer it—but not today. Where’s my headphones?

The bus I take to ATC was 20 minutes late. I landed between two possible routes to the office. I decided to walk.

I woke up today thinking it was Thursday. But clearly, this day is a misplaced Monday.

nikography:

three kinds of people in the world:

1. the ones who read the manual first.
2. the ones who just start using it.
3. the ones who go directly to settings/preferences.

i fall into category number 3

i’m somewhere between 2 and 3. if it’s a MAC, i’m a solid 3. anything else i’m a 2.

Brain brownout… flux capacitor needs more power… less internet connectivity.

Looking for a downtown dive with food and wifi.

Off to a meeting about a Moog catalog design project.

Did I mention I’ll be reading poetry @ Malaprops this Sunday, Oct. 19 @ 3 PM? I’ll be reading my work along with other local poets.

Which would you chose? A book of poetry by Randall Jarrell? The Savage Sword of Conan, Vol. 1? Or a book titled, Pagan Christianity?

Automating one’s social networking status is easy. Automating one’s cash flow is more challenging.

Three cups of Velvet Hammer. Three hours of fist pumping metal music. A vendor who can’t follow the !@#$ instructions. I lurve Mondays.

OK, I’m really getting tired of the office doorbell.

Enjoying Clawhammer (Oktoberfest Lager by Highland Brewing Company) as celebration for finishing design work on the weekend.

Finished reading a Randall Jarrell book.

// Thinking about marketing… wondering about Wall Street… considering poetry… for some reason this all makes me very thirsty.
