Working friday & saturday nights make me feel much more secluded than I’d like to be. I sometimes take comfort in not being around people, but nights like this seem to force seclusion.

I’m moving in about a week. Here are photos of the grand new palace, located at 31st Place & Morgan, in Bridgeport, Chicago. i’ve been living in a furnished apt. with a couple of roommates for the past few years, so living alone in an unfurnished apt. will be a pretty significant change.

In light of moving, I’ve been doing everything I can to save money, and I did about 5 hours of contract work for this company at the rate of $150/hour earlier this week. It was intended to take 2 hours or less, but most of the information they provided was incorrect, and required mid-task reorganization, which in turn increased the price. I’d feel bad if this were some guy with a small company, but this is a large internet company, so i don’t feel too ashamed.

I’m getting a little better at bowling. A couple of weeks ago I rolled my best game of the year, scoring like 120, or 130 pins.

I haven’t quit riding my bike this winter. I ride at least 4 times per week, and actually braved a snowstorm to get to work about 2 weeks ago. Yeah, it took me like 25 minutes to travel about a mile and a half, but I managed to only have to walk for 2 blocks. The guy walking around 23rd & state near the projects seemed impressed.

I found a band from the 1960s, they’re called “yes”. I didn’t get my nickname from them, but i feel happy to know that i share some kind of relation with such an awesome band. Here’s an awesome song of theirs, it’s called survival.

That’s all. Bye.
