This week just gets better and better, doesn't it. Man, do I need aspirin.
A-Frames tomorrow nite. WOO-HOO! Any Chicagoans, look for Hannah and I there... (we're the cute ones with all the tattoos)
FINALLY off the Freddy Adu train. Man, does that get old.
hey, check me out in the new ITA.
Edited April 24 to add:
Oh, wait, I'm back on. Kill me now.

Ah yes the flurry of hurrying, then waiting, that is the NFL draft. I actually missed Saturday, which was very slow with no first round pick, as I attended a wedding in good ol Cleveland.
9 am flight Sunday morning, straight to the office. For not having a first rounder I'm pretty excited about what we added to our team. Getting KJ from Jax for a fourth was great. I worked with him a year when we were with the Browns, so I'm pretty pumped about him joining the Ravens.
Tat is fantastic and my girlfriend always grabs my shoulder, through my shirt, telling me she's feeling up "my girls." I'm going to show it to Seth this weekend. I'm dropping off a few tickets to the Spring Football Fest for he and the family/friends on Saturday and then I'll probably bump into them at the event as well, on the concourse of our stadium.
That's it for now. Time to bang out an article on our guys that did well for the Cologne Centurions (NFL Europe) over the weekend. Damn football trying to invade soccer land.
Later bro and tell Hannah I said hello.

Woo hoo! Got the garden started today, perhaps a little early for Chicago's notoriously fickle weather but since we haven't been below freezing in a month, I think we're OK. Normally I wait until Mother's Day but I got the onions and strawberries in and the artichokes resucitated. Also planted the window boxes and street boxes with pansies and cleaned up all the scrub from...

You're dating Hannah? Please tell her Misha says HI
She was kind enough to buy some of my art work when she was visiting New Orleans. And she is a rockin chick!

Oh, I guess I should update my journal. I just have precious lil to say...
Woo. Adu's debut underwhelming. Super beat from it, too, but there you go. However, it is GORGEOUS here and I am gleefully looking forward to gardening today. YAY!

In DC to see Freddy Adu's debut. Wouldn't be so bad had I not had to get up at 4:45 this am to catch Arsenal-Man U in the FA Cup. (Arse lost. Fuckers.) But here I am, in the airport, waiting for my ride. The excitement of the sportswriter never ends.

Yo,
This close to the neighborhood and no call? I'll be seeing the Distillers at the Black Cat in DC on Wednesday and have an extra ticket for the O's/Red Sox on Thursday. By Wednesday afternoon I'll probably have someone going if you don't drop me a line.
Hope things are cool.

Nothing like springcleaning to make you tired, but I do feel a huge sense of accomplishment. I now have a clean attic and back porches; today I get to paint and start stripping floors. Woo!

I got so much shit to clean. My wife moved out last week, and left most her stuff behind for me to get rid of. I keep putting it off because I don't have time. Need to do it.
metaleric:
She left clothes behind that people wouldn't wear 20 years ago. The Salvation Army probably won't even take 'em. So I'll drop off the bags at their front door and run.
Arsenal all the way tomorrow. That's about all I have to say. Lots going on here -- we've got tenants moving in as we finally bow to economic imperatives. Vote Kerry.
And I have not forgot to upload my tattoo pics-by-Hannah. They've changed the file size here to 100Kb so I have to small-i-size them.

I believe that. We're a big corporate monster that wants to engulf the world.
But in my opinion, soccer fans are soccer fans, and football fans are football fans. Both hard core and really don't care all that much about the other.

What do you know about Randy Harvey?
He's leaving the LA Times for the good 'ol Baltimore Sun.
Good weekend?

I am beginning to really hate Saturdays and they are going to start sucking even harder in two weeks when MLS starts up again. A full day of soccer scores...and then the Fire. Joy. At least they are a good team, but after getting up at 6 am to cover games, you're kinda burned on it 13 hours later, ya know?
At least it is...

Your recent post about your music collection was impressive. Between you, eidolon and myself - I bet we could open a pretty impressive record store!
Nice to hear about another fellow Chicago music junkie.
Cheers!

Good weekend in Miami, saw some good soccer (from haiti; total shit from the USA) and got a good story or two out of it. Somehow picked up a head cold. Sigh. But I got a tan, too, so there you go...

Just about healed. I'm a peeling machine right now. Back and settled?
