I would Globe it up any time I'm free. Btw, you may have seen this on social media, but Kr and I and her coworker Kate totally came in first of 35 teams at the global affairs pub quiz last night. The five rounds actually ended in a tie, but our team was closer to the official population of Greenland than the other team (though still quite a ways off). Also one of the questions had to do with how long my employer has been in business.

Nice going, jaymc!
Speaking of Kr, I saw her on the train this morning and announced my presence by touching her wrist for some reason and she didn't recognize me right away and thought somebody was trying to pickpocket her.

I don't know why I didn't just say hi. Or like, tap her shoulder. Or text her.
Nice work jaymc! A friend of mine participated in that, she said her group didn't do very well and that it was pretty tough.

Yeah, it was definitely tough, but we were nerds about it and studied current events beforehand.

Hey, that's good news about the pot! How much is 15 grams? Like, what common household item is 15 grams of pot the same size as?
― carl agatha, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 20:24 (eleven years ago) link

Pot's decriminalized, we might get a city-wide bike share program... We're like one vegan cafe away from being Portland.

We'd have to stop vaccinating so much to get to Portland level.

But seriously, I had another song dream last night. This time I actually got up and went to the bathroom and sang the song out loud so I wouldn't forget it when I woke up and sure enough, it's gone.
It was kind of Modest Mouse-esque with a call and response verse that switched back and forth between falsetto and regular singing. It was something about moving to LA.

What? Cape? Are you a super hero (I know the answer to that question is "Yes").

I am a druid. Imma put up a picture soon, hold on...
― nicest bitch of poster (La Lechera), Thursday, 28 June 2012 21:13 (eleven years ago) link

Funnily enough, I am actually dressing up like the mighty Thor tomorrow for a children's program at the library.
but a druid is more impressive. Perhaps I should have insisted that I dress up as http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20050405044761/marveldatabase/images/0/03/Anthony_Druid_(Earth-616).jpg

omg! I find a person's willingness to look silly in the service of entertaining children to be so f'n endearing. I am endeared!

I'm glad I've made you endeared. I'll post pics if I can find the courage.

LL is that an everyday cape or for an occasion?
― Je55e, Thursday, 28 June 2012 23:19 (eleven years ago) link
i guess it's an everyday cape? that's just the hood, i still have to sew the cape to the lining and sew the lining to the hood. and fix the closure.

Where do all these people on my bus wearing shorts work?? I assume some work at Groupon - a few I know for sure do - but others go to buildings near my office. I imagine they are creatives at hip ad and marketing and tech firms. Whatever the facts, the Halsted bus is full of shorts.

based on what people wear to work during non-casual days, i would not be surprised if they were wearing shorts to work on casual friday. i'm wearing an untucked polo shirt
