external monologue

pool and more

i apologize for the lateness of this "morning's" posting. sometimes mondays are slow mornings for me. okay, let me rephrase that, mondays are always slow mornings for me. every now and then i have a laid-back weekend and when monday rolls around i pop right out of bed at 7am, but its a rare occurrence. and this weekend was anything but laid-back. not that it wasn't fun, just very full.

today's photos are both from friday night at parkway billiards, a pool hall i haven't been to in years. back in college when i worked at greyfriar's, a late night at parkway after closing up the shop was pretty standard. but since then, if i go for pool, its usually to CBC. all that to say that the evening was a very surreal experience as i looked at parkway through somewhat older, more experienced eyes, and for the most part found it depressing. can't really put my finger on exactly why - maybe because i saw the same people that used to be there 5 years ago, i don't know...

but, the pool was fun, and the company good, and yes, let it be known, kiko did roundly kick both my and ben horner's collective asses in a vicious game of cut-throat. also, last night roommate isaac wardell performed at lamar's, to a very large and excited audience. i'd have pictures today, but my digital camera batteries crapped out at the beginning of the show, and the "real" photographs i took won't be ready for another day or two.

and somehow i missed the return of Opus yesterday. apparently the new york times doesn't have comics? (i guess i've never really looked for the comic pages there before.) anyone know where it might be found online?
