Posted on February 7, 2010 - Filed Under picture of the day
wow, 7 days into feb and my first pic of the day post. how sad. went up to visit ryan and the kids this morning. here’s emily and i sitting in the dining room. she’s got a sly look on her face. i was feeling pretty beat since christopher had me running around and crawling in and out of his massive fort in the basement. let’s just say that someone needed a nap this afternoon. heh.

Sitting in th Highland Grill, enjoying a cup of black coffee after a wonderful helping of huevos rancheros. I do love corn. The food here is fabulous and the service is great. A good place to hang out while I wait for B to finish working.
20100125 – me in ma

craig, originally uploaded by kregarious.figured i better post today. going to be a crazy crazy week (perhaps two) so who knows if i’ll get to it the rest of the week.
took this in the same pub as the one of been a few posts down, in northampton, ma. well, ben took it. . . i mean i could have used a tripod or something but i don’t do a lot with that these days. i like that i’m clear and focused with a background out of focus. it creates a sensation of movement which is interesting since i’m pretty sure niether of us were moving on our stools, it wasn’t that kind of a night out. anyway, as i think i said in one of the other posts, reminds me how much i like film. i need to get out and play some more soon.
on another note, has anyone else noticed the internet being slow lately? i thought it was just my sucky cable connection at home but even at work, there seems to be an extra lag today. i put a new switch in my home network and that helped a little but i’m dealing with some serious lag. it has me thinking about how dependent i am now on distribuated applications. if i don’t have solid connections, i can’t work. maybe one of those little 3G netbooks isn’t a bad idea. . .
20100117 – ChicagoNewYears-44
Posted on January 19, 2010 - Filed Under picture of the day
back tto chicago for the photo of the day today. i’m at the shop this morning, just for an oil change, nothing serious. i love my little fit, great car. however, i do wish we had better public transportation in mpls/st. paul. sure, we have the light rail and the new northstar line but none of that really helps me. if i want to get to work on public transportation, it’ll take 1 hr and 45 min with three buses. it’ll take me 2 hrs to get home. i just can’t justify that. so, i try to drive a car that uses gas responsibly and i’m not a speed demon. every little bit helps.

staying on the nostalgia trip for today’s photo. so, i didn’t take this but i staged it, if you will. i designed it. ben (see yesterday’s photo) shot it for me. i was using my holga for this one. going back over these photos makes me want to play with film again. film is so much fun. digital is fast and wonderful but film. . . has something else entirely.
somewhere, i think i have some polaroid film left. i should dig that up, fun stuff.

i can’t remember if i used this as a photo of the day before or not. I didn’t see it in a quick search. this is one of my favorites of my photos. took this of my friend, ben, in a bar near their place in MA. they no longer live in MA but i’ve got a ton of good memories visiting them.
happy sunday, all. got a bunch of work to do as i change billing software. . . it’s a long task but the new stuff will allow me to work at home and it gives me a good reason to clean up some outstanding pieces. i woke up early, ran to the grocery store, did dishes, and put a roast in the crock. it’s a pork roast which i haven’t done before. the meat was scary cheap, but i think i’m looking at it as cheap because it is also less meat than i normally use for a roast. i’m trying to use less meat and focus more on the veggies these days. anyway, my house will smell of roast all day while i’m working and the sun is casting a nice light in here so i don’t mind.
20100116 – the dude and grainbelt
Posted on January 16, 2010 - Filed Under picture of the day
last night i went to dudley riggs theater for the christmas special this year and my usher was none other than the dude from dude weather. the show was awesome but meeting the dude really put the night over the top. the dude no longer gives me my weather every day but still makes me chuckle time to time.
in addition, i’m still working on my search to find the greenbelt premium beer commercial from the contest a few years back. i don’t even remember what year it was but the commercial was about staging a protest against the beer ban on sunday. i’m searching youtube but if anyone has the video or the catchy song about buying beer on sunday, i’ve love to see it / hear it again.
for now, check out last year’s submissions. i like number 15 and 19 .
20100113 – rush
Posted on January 13, 2010 - Filed Under picture of the day
life has become such a rush and not as in “whoa what a rush, that was awesome!” i write here now and again about slowing down. i have a few things driving me to slow down this time (heh, listen to the way that came out even. . . driving me to slow down). one is that work has been on high stress levels for months now. i think there may be some light at the end of the tunnel but i suspect that much of that will come down to how i look at things and how i push back. another driver is that my cold is still hanging around and this has led me to drink more and more tea and more or less give up coffee. i had a cup yesterday for the first time in a while and i got pretty jittery. another is that i’ve started exercising before again. it helps quite a bit. the machine i use has a built in heart rate monitor and i’m thinking it might be an interesting exercise to see how much i can lower my resting heartrate.
all that said, time to rush into work for the day. i’ll be doing it today with a health dose of somafm and a nice cup of my flu tea that i bought in chinatown.
20100111 – waiting for the train
Posted on January 11, 2010 - Filed Under picture of the day
here’s a photo i took of becky while we waited for the train in chicago, it was snowing and pretty and i’m happy with the photo. decided to make it my desktop image and to share it with y’all too.
wow, weekend came to an end way too fast. becky and i made a short trip to the como conservatory to look at something green. that place is great year round but especially in the winter when you start getting tired of the snow. i like winter and the snow is pretty right now and all, but i really severely miss being outside. i want to just walk through the neighborhood as the sun is setting, casting a nice glow on everything. i’m not asking for a heat wave really, 40’s would be great. so, i guess i’ll keep going to the conservatory for now and looking forward to that first day in March when it hits 45 and everyone goes apeshit nuts.
have a good week, all.
