In which it turns out that complaining does do you some good. Yesterday I felt all shitty and marginal and rejected and sorry for myself, so I wrote a big old whiny post about it. Within an hour of posting I’d had two heartfelt private emails and a long IM conversation aimed at helping me […]
In which I’m driving to Chi-town. My guru, Amma, is in Chicago today and tomorrow. I’m gonna take the Exploder and drive up there for darshan. I haven’t failed to see Mother in July in at least ten years; don’t see why I should start now. V wants me to hitch a ride back to […]
In which we find the “Greenwich Village of Indianapolis,” (don’t laugh, it isn’t polite) and it really is Good! There’s a neighborhood north of downtown called Broad Ripple where all the brew pubs and coffee shops and bike shops and jazz clubs and groovy people hang out. It’s a half-hour drive from here, of course. […]
In which you can hardly tell it’s the weekend. Today is the first day of our third week in Indy. I feel both as if I just arrived, and as if I’ve been here forEVer. BoSe and Bread had a nine o’clock this morning. I tried to get the bid done last night, but it’s […]
In which I woke up on the wrong side of the bed entirely. I woke up totally fucking aggro this morning. Then my computer was acting like a slow piece of shit while I was trying to produce some printed bids. Then the guys were freaked out about this thing and that thing (this gig […]
In which it’s weird. Being this close to the time line means that the sun is still (just barely) above the horizon at nine PM. It causes us to eat dinner really, really late. And we tend to stay up until eleven or twelve every night. I bet it’s awesome to be a kid here […]
In which it takes money to make money, and I’m loving not living in the country. We’ve been here for eleven days now. We’ve got a gas grill set up, and bought speakers for the laptop so we could enjoy tunes in our room. (The built-in speakers were like listening to iTunes through a telephone […]
In which it was just awful! After a day of popping ibuprofen, sleeping, and listening to my iPod, I got the guys to take me out to dinner. We went to ‘downtown’ Greenwood and chose a Mexican restaurant. It looked good from the outside, with white stucco and a big gaudy neon sign, but all […]
In which there are two things. Maybe three. I haven’t updated in two days because I couldn’t get online. The hotel’s free wireless has been down. And not just kinda down, either, but totally not even showing up in the Wireless Network Connection panel at all. The manager says they’re re-replacing all the parts again […]
In which I’m startin’ to miss good ol’ CAT-5. The wireless here at home sweet hotel has been sketchy. Er, maybe not ‘sketchy’ so much as ‘completely down’ for the past day and a half. It’s back up now. FINALLY. I have to go sketch two roofs in Xactimate now, and then finish the door […]
