As Far As I Can Tell

Looking for a new place to live is the activity of the week. On Tuesday we went to Kalamazoo to look at three different apartments with one of them being a possibility. Today we’ve set up three more to check out this weekend, and hopefully I can add to that list tomorrow. I want to find some place that feels right. It’s hard to beat our current Chicago home.

I’m finding out that more places than I thought won’t let you have pets of any kind. How much harm could one cat do? Apparently more than some people want to chance. If they knew Birdie they’d change their minds.

Yesterday Meredith and I went to the Pasta Bowl for delicious Italian food before seeing a really good move, City of God. It’s about the lives of various people growing up in a slum in Brazil. It’s incredibly well done and even with a long running time stayed interesting throughout. Recommended.

Tonight Ivo came over for some soup and then we headed to the Fireside to see Matt Pond PA and Elliot. The former as good as their CD but not more and the later bored us enough we left early.

It seems that the Fireside has done a lot of repairs lately. The ceiling looked better than I remember it and new dividers keep the music separated from the lanes. It’s good to see improvements since the rumors are always flying that it’s on the verge of closing.

Finally, after months and months of work — some of it going all the way back to August of last year — the new Biggs-Gilmore website has launched. This is the largest Flash project I’ve ever done and the only all Flash website. There will be updates to do over the next few months but I’m relieved it’s finally up.
