I didn't make it on to WoW on Saturday, but I got stuff done during the day, woo!

I did some tidying in my room, finally got the TiVo set up, and did some workstuff. I also fooled around with some photos I took from the balcony at work. I took them in a hurry, because I only had a few minutes, but I'm pretty pleased, considering that. They are here!

Later in the evening, I got a message that one of the guys from work was having some sort of gathering/performance thingy at Downtown Lounge, so I popped in on that for a bit. He plays guitar and is actually not bad at it! We hung around for a bit, and that was cool, but I guess some of the devs had to work Saturday during the day, because they were all too tired to come to karaoke. ;p Also springing up as odd in my memory is this homey-g type of guy, who was involved in the hip-hop show that was going on after my co-worker's performance, came up and I think was hitting on me a little? Little did he know the sheer nerdity he'd be getting himself into with me, if I'd stuck around at all... bwa ha ha!

Anyhoo, after that, it was karaoke time! :D The rotation at Peabody's was short enough that I got to do five songs *and* a duet! We kicked some ass up there, and I kind of wished at times that there was more of a crowd to observe it. I don't know, maybe if there was a place that was a nice medium between the livelier crowd at Black Forest, and the rotation length at Peabody's... anyhoo, the highlight of the evening was definitely me and [livejournal.com profile] divadrummer teaming up to do "Sabotage" by the Beastie Boys. Holy crap, that one was just FUN. We definitely need to do that again sometime.

I slept in again on Sunday, and then went shopping and *finally* got some of the produce I've been craving. Fruits and vegetables FTW! After that, I went out with the guys to take some photos at Hendricks Park, and I think I got some pretty nifty ones. I haven't had a chance to look at them in Photoshop yet, though, so they'll probably go up in the next couple of days. We worked on some business-related stuff after that, and I got a pretty sweet business card layout nailed down in pixels. Hopefully, we're going to get them printed in the next day or two, and thusly take one step closer to legitimacy as a business. Woo!

And, here it is, Monday again. Work is busy, as usual. That's all!

Hey! Random request, but I am in nigh-unto-dire need of getting out one of these days, and karaoke sounds fun. Can random, totally shy n00bs show up?

Just wanted to say that I love the sky in those photos you posted. My question is, where is your work at? I recognize one of the buildings (I think) but I can't for the life of me remember where it's at.

Also, if you're ever up for dinner and drinks at some point (preferably a Friday or Saturday night) let me know. I'll even come listen to you sing karaoke. ;)

OK, that's twice I've seen that now & thought "WTF?"... Fuck The What? For The Win? Freaky Timber Wolves?

For The Win! It's something that has propagated through WoW. ^^;

It's downtown, near 8th and Willamette. And yeah, I loved the clouds out there, too :)

I'll give you a holler sometime soon, for sure. Haven't been planning ahead so much, lately, but I'll probably be doing something this weekend.

Sounds good to me. Email or cell phone should get a hold of me relatively rapidly. You still have my number right?
