Chicago MMXII

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.

good job jaymc and kr!

was tempted to wait and post this at 4:20 but i'd probably forget (because i'm so high)

SWED

Thanks!

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?

it's a little over half an ounce

which is, like, quite a bit of weed imo

Wow, yeah! That's really great.

a+ chicago aldermans

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

there's a vegan cafe like a block away from my house

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

our metal scene is healthy, but we're still no portland

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

Maybe I have whooping cough after all.

lol

lot higher larper % of population out there too afaict

HOT ENOUGH OUT THERE FOR YOU?

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.

^^^ the kind of drums I imagine myself playing in my imaginary band

my org had our annual luncheon today and t0ni pr3ckwinkle was there, with a security guy wearing an earpiece

I love her.

i finished the hood and closure of my cape this afternoon! it's almost done.

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...

!!

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.

DO IT

please do it

both of you need to post those pics. somewhere i have a picture of me dressed up like Captain America for a Halloween kids thing.

i posted mine on wdyll thread but here it is again if you insist
also it's just the hood but today we also made the placket for the button closure

DUDES black dog gelato (fancy gelato with crazy flavors) just opened a new location where bleeding heart used to be at belmont and damen

nice! i am forced to use IE at work and sometimes the wdyll threads can crash it, so i hadn't looked at it today.

that is an impressive cape.

A+

LL is that an everyday cape or for an occasion?

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.

it's casual friday!

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

(and nothing else)

porky piggin' it

I'm wearing shorts. Other men here are wearing shorts too. Yesterday the air conditioning broke at about 3 PM. I was glad I was wearing shorts.

The shorts-wearing people I'm talking about wear shorts all days of the week. I noticed today that a few were wearing flip-flops, too.

I could totally do that if I felt like it.

Feels like we've talked about this before.
