Yesterday, M@tt and Je55e and I ate pupusas in the neighborhood. Then my downstairs neighbor texted to say that everyone in the building smelled gas, and they were going to call Peoples and possibly our gas supply would be cut off. I sprinted home (belly full of pupusas), because I feared that we'd left beans boiling on the stove. Thankfully, that was not the case. As I walked back toward the pupusa restaurant I ran into a very bold skunk. J & M insisted it was a cat, and thankfully were proven wrong before being sprayed. The evening ended when, while driving J to the Belmont bus, I spotted a gentleman sprawled out, not moving, on the grass. Not being roused by J's boisterous yells, we called 911. When I got back from the bus stop, there were 2 cop cars, a firetruck and an ambulance. The. End.

xp From my school work email, yes. I enabled undo on Gmail after I sent a resume to an attorney attached to an email in which I misspelled the position title in the subject line.
I need a pupusas.

I said it was a cat but then I saw the small sprig of white hairs on its tail. As I said on 77, I chased it for a little bit and it was adorable. I threw a stick at it to see if it would spray (I was not within its range) but then I realized it would be spraying someone's house, which would suck. But then I remembered that God took my sense of smell, so I used it like an atomizer to spray all the Catholics.

I broke down at lunch and picked up the first issue of The Chicagoan, since I saw it in the window of a bookstore I walked by on Printer's Row. Haven't had much of a chance to dig in yet, but it does look pretty nice. It was the history of Siskel & Ebert and the talk with Jeanne Gang that sold me. I'll see if looks like it'll be worth spending $20 on every issue.

huh i was walking in printer's row on my lunch break too, at around 2. maybe we passed by each other. a missed connection.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 12 March 2012 20:59 (twelve years ago) link
i've been going on lunch break walks since the weather's been nicer and i'm tired of just walking around in the loop so today i cut south to the weird river view apartment building then east to printer's row then back up into the loop.
― congratulations (n/a), Monday, 12 March 2012 21:01 (twelve years ago) link
I was there about 1:30, so probably not. Yeah, I've been taking increasingly longer lunch walks with the nice weather. Sometimes it makes all the difference in surviving a hectic day.

It's true. I always vow to get outside at least a little bit every day, but I always forget. Then I feel like a mole person when I finally get off work and face the outside world.

Well it helps that I don't have any options for food within my building and I don't bring my lunch, pretty much forcing me out into the wider world if I want to eat.

I think I'm going to buy The Chicagoan for the library next time I see it.

There will be, apparently:
The Chicagoan website will contain daily, literary and in-depth coverage of the people, places and events that define the city and region’s newscycle. All of this material will also be delivered to smart phones via our app.

― carl agatha, Tuesday, 13 March 2012 20:53 (twelve years ago) link
It would need socks, tights, snow boots, galoshes, flats, light scarf, medium scarf, light gloves, medium gloves, hat, umbrella, rain coat, puffy coat, medium coat, and a second pair of socks in case the first ones get wet.
