This could be a wonderful day

As I sit here working I am aware of a great event that is about to happen many miles away in faraway land across a distant ocean.
Arsenal are preparing to win the Premiership tonight and at 1.30pm PCT we will hear the news. All they need is a draw against ManUre to be presented [...]

Now that the BootBlog is working again, I can post these photos of our booth taken by Nick and Sean. We reckon the booth turned out really good considering we only had two days to get it all organized. Click on the links below to see a pop up photo:

Last day at the street faire

Date: April 26th, 2002 | No Comments

It’s 9am and I’m sitting here about to depart for the 5 minute ride to campus for the last day of the U of O street fare. The last 2 days have been great, blazing sunny weather, tons of people and good vibes. Today will be overcast but that’s [...]

After the streetfare at the U of O yesterday I went to my usual towel folding job at the DAC, to be joined by Brianna and J.P. The their expressions / poses remind me of a promo picture for some kind of tv drama (she’s pouty, he’s jolly).

Another day [...]

The trip to SoCal last week has all of us a bit tired. But we really have not time to rest. The U of O Street Faire starts tomorrow and runs through Friday. We have a booth, (we’ll be sure to post some pictures) and want to get out there to meet [...]

Coffee!

The office has an awesome location. A block away is High Street Brewery and Cafe… though I manage to pass it by at 9 a.m. to go to another mainstay for me and the guys: Full City Coffee. This is some of the best coffee I’ve ever had. They’re our java local, and I have [...]

It’s been a long hard road, but it’s finally over. Sean and I no longer have to get up at 3:45am every morning to deliver newspapers.
While this is fantastic news to us, our old boss at the Register-Guard, Thomas, is less than pleased.

Here’s a pic of us taking delivery of our final pay cheque and [...]

From Boot Boy to Excalibur Lad

The difference between my days and nights is always so weird. During the day I help edit content on the site, and write lots of copy; the day flies by, with brainstorms, writing, meetings; I have a huge sense of challenge and accomplishment, of passion for work, that encompasses my two loves in life: words [...]

Last night I finished my daily towel folding and bathroom cleaning activities at 8.30pm and went over to the house of brother and sisiter Brianna and Devin Skolnick. They were having a small get together for Devin, who is leaving on Tuesday for Central America with his buddy Scotty. Back in [...]

Today it was dull and rainy for the first time in a couple of weeks. Fortunately we had a surprise visit from intern Elan Schmitt, who has just returned from spring break in Mazatlan. Said Elan, ‘I spent most days just relaxing, eating fish tacos and drinking lots of margaritas…….how about you?’
Cheers [...]
