Reasons why running your own studio is akin to bamboo being shoved under your fingernails, #18:
Just found out I made a $9,000 mistake on the project I was rushing to get out by the end of the year. The project that the client caused to be rushed into a desperately short window, which led to the proofing error because the client was on vacation...

No fire-quenching heroics this week; just a visit from a lovely London-based friend and her boy. Also, more client idiocy: why do they pay me so much just so they can fuck my shit up with their ill-advised, uninformed suggestions?

That site is pretty cool. I like the daily poker hand question.
So I'm clicking away in my upstairs office as usual yesterday afternoon, when i notice a really loud crackling sound coming from my next-door neighbor's backyard. When I look out my window, i see a bunch of smoke coming from behind her house. My first thought was, "What the hell is Pat cooking?" (Pat being my 70-year-old grandmotherly neighbor, if your grandmother could swear like...

Congrats on the Royal flush. Wish me luck at the tourny at Goldies.

Innit, though? 
New Weding Present music!. David Gedge is one of my favorite musicians and all-around great guys of the past 15 years, so color me giddy. I'm just bummed that I missed him when he in town recording it.

Oooooh, sounds like some fun design work!
mrdeity:
Very cool! 
okay, last chance: anyone want an '88 VW GTI 16v? It's cheap, and if no one wants it, it's being donated to some orphanage in Appalachia or a Little League team or something.

Is NOMS still chugging away up there?
I spent many a day bumming about QA... a nice little neighborhood. I used to ride my bike up 3rd on the North side, then go down QA Ave on the South side, then back up and over again...
...the things we do.

Why are you stuck home?

that hat I bought is great. There was another one in brown I almost bought just because I was scared I'd never see one like it ever again. A backup would be killer....I figure someone will steal it eventually.
Spent the morning chasing pigeons on Westlake Plaza. Life is good.

i can certainly think of worse ways to spend a morning...
any interest in catching the clay wheels saturday night?

Very cool! Did you get the promo bonus too? Something like $200 for a royal flush?
I went to the circus this weekend for the first time in... um, i don't know, since i was about 5 years old? I don't think Cirque du Soleil counts; this was the full-scale crazy clowns, dancing girls, elephant parade, man-on-the-flying-trapeze, lion-tamer's-head-in-lion's-mouth, tightrope-walking Greatest Show on Earth. It's a bit of an overpromise, but I can see how it may have been true a...

Yeah, these days those circuses need lasers, Humvees, and their own credit cards these days to be of any interest to the majority of the public...
Congrats on the winnings...

An acquaintance of mine just died. Cancer took him, at age 37, leaving a widow and three young children in its wake. Nothing like a reminder of your own mortality, and of the impact your life has on others.

Hasselbeck angred me by not throwing another TD, just like the Ravens WR Johnson angered me by getting me 1 point.

I have been wondering about my playing lately. I got busted pretty good a few days ago (I had a pair of J's cracked) and so I have been playing play money single tournys to take a break from real money. Well, I have been in about 7 or 8 play money tournys and I have placed in the top 3 in all but two (and in those two, I got fourth in one and the other I had a good pocket pair cracked to place something like 9th).
a lot of photography work lined up though.
