Day 256 of 365 days. Part of me wonders if I am starting to lose my mind without having a day job. I was at every end of the multidimensional extreme today. I had about an hour of misery and uselessness as I fell into despair thinking I’m never going to find anything to pay…
Day 255 of 365 days. Most people hate the winter, I’m now missing it. Today was the first day this spring that I had to mow the lawn. The last couple years, I haven’t had to mow my own lawn because I used to pay the guy who lived across the street (a professional gardner/landscaper)…
Day 254 of 365 days. Spent the day with Cheryl. Back before I was a bum (errr… starving artist), I used to be a pretty decent user interface (UI) designer. Cheryl was my intern. Over the years she’s become a really good friend. These days, Cheryl lives in Seattle where she designs video games for…
Day 253 of 365 days. So in the middle of the day, Steph walks up to me and says that since its a nice day we should go out and see the buffalos. I counter with the obvious. Yes, it is a nice day, but we live in Pittsburgh, there are no buffalos. She assured…
Day 252 of 365 days. Ok, I am ready to stop getting sick now any day. Really I am. I’ve been feeling pretty ok lately. And I woke up ok today, but I had developed a sore throat by about noon or one. Not too big a deal, except that I had a wrestling show…
Day 251 of 365 days. Finally got my pinball shot in the set. I’m a huge pinball fan, although I don’t get to play as often these days as I did when I was younger. I don’t think I would have survived college without pinball. Anyway, I really wanted to get a shot of me…
Day 250 of 365 days. I really only had one goal today. I wanted to go to an arcade and get a shot of me playing pinball. I love pinball. I used to have a Twilight Zone machine in my living room. Years ago, my car broke down and I had to sell it, because…
Day 249 of 365 days. Made a few more minor changes to www.chrismaverick.com today. It really is the best website in the whole wide world, everyone should bookmark it and link to it from their websites and in general just make me world famous. I still don’t get why the media isn’t all over me…
Day 248 of 365 days. Spent the whole day working on my website. That’s right, I’m up and open for business. I still have a lot of other stuff to work on with it, and its not "Internet Explorer 6" compliant yet, but if people want to look at it and let me know what…
Day 246 of 365 days. Long long day. Spent this morning working on my website (I’ll be happy when I finish it, and of course will post a link), and then it was off to Martin’s Ferry, Ohio for a wrestling show. Steph and Jameel were nice enough to accompany me so there were at…
Day 246 of 365 days. I don’t have a whole lot to say about today. I spent the entire day working on my website. Hopefully I’ll be done in another couple of days. I need to buy some webspace to host it on. Which is more money that I don’t really feel like spending, but…
Day 245 of 365 days. TGIF. It kinda loses something when you don’t have a job. Oh well. Spent the morning working on my new website, which hopefully I’ll have done in a week or so. Then spent the afternoon cleaning the old bedroom/new studio. I’m so awful at cleaning. I’m getting it done, but…
Day 244 of 365 days. I was hoping to take a picture outside today while I was running errands, but it was pretty much muggy and rainy and disgusting all day, so I punted on that. Ayway, I spent the day picking up stuff for Steph so that she can use her computer in her…
Day 243 of 365 days. Way back in August before I started this project, I had a house party. In fact, it was the grandmama of all house parties. The fabled pajama jammy jam. It was a really good party and everyone had a lot of fun, but there was a small bit of collateral…
Day 242 of 365 days. What with being constantly sick and then having a trip to that conference in Boston and then being constantly sick again, it occurred to me that I really hadn’t done anything superinteresting or fun for this project in a while. In a lot of ways I felt like I was…
