Save the turf!
Posted on October 26, 2006 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Washington, DC As much as I like ice rinks, and as much as I like pedestrian districts, and as much as I normally hate astroturf, I think that, in this case, they’re going to get rid of a beautiful thing. Is there such thing as too much planning? http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/10/23/AR2006102301242.html Currently Reading The Prophet By Kahlil [...]

Caffeine
Posted on October 7, 2006 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Depending upon who you go by, I’m now either more than half done, or more than two-thirds done my hellish schedule. I go back to my normal hours on Oct. 15 or 21. I’m surviving, albeit unhappily, albeit with lots of money. Today’s caffeine tally: -1 20 oz. bottle of coke -2 Red Bulls (I found [...]

The Elephant Walk (or, I didn’t even see any frat boys!)
Posted on April 3, 2006 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
So I was walking to the metro around 10pm tonight (I got out of work late), and I noticed that a bunch of streets were closed off by the police. This being DC, I assumed that someone was trying to blow up the Capitol, or that there were snakes on a plane, or something. Then, [...]

More time in DC than SYR!
Posted on March 1, 2006 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Today is kind of a symbolic day, in a way. I haven’t actually kept track to the day, but I have now, over the course of my life, spent about the same amount of time in the Washington, DC, area as I have spent in the Syracuse area. That’s kinda weird to me. In other [...]

Good morning!
Posted on January 12, 2006 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
For the second time in two weeks, I have no hot water in my apartment. Apparently the management believes that the morning is the best time to shut off the water, because who uses the shower before work? Last time, they told us in advance that it might go off. This time, they didn’t bother. [...]

Even when you’re low on ideas,
Posted on January 10, 2006 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
you can still use an online journal to whine. I am going to take full advantage of that. It’s 8:40am, and I am at work. At 1:20am last night, I went to floor. At 2am, someone sent me a text message saying they needed me to open the equipment room (which we call the “War Room”) here at [...]

Foot in mouth
Posted on October 30, 2005 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Last night, Mishri and I found ourselves wandering through Georgetown when who should appear but Marc. Apparently DC is a really good place to randomly run into people. I hadn’t seen Marc since he stayed at the Hotel Garyfornia in August, but I knew that he had moved into the area, so it wasn’t really [...]

Millions More
Posted on October 18, 2005 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Hey all. ‘Twas an interesting weekend. Saturday, I went to the Millions More Movement, the follow-up to the Million Man March. I almost gave up on it when the one of the first speakers I listened to started praising Mugabe (“The U.S. doesn’t like him because he’s taking his land back!”). As it turns out, [...]

It’s Like The Brady Bunch meets the Houston Astros…
Posted on October 13, 2005 by Gary BUTTERWORTH
Although having garybutterworth.com run through xanga gives me much less control of things than I’d want, it does make it much quicker to post things. And I can now even post from work, which is why my site will probably become even more boring than ever before, with plenty of posts consisting of nothing but links [...]
