  • Disappointed at the cold turn of weathery events from tomorrow. Still. Less than a month ’til baseball, and that ain’t too shabby. #
  • @hubbit You really do! It’s marvellous. :) #
  • I have to stop mocking Facebook now — someone I parted ways with in 1991ish just got in touch, I’ve been trying to find her for years. !!!! #
  • There appears to be a talent necessary for developing a good Quicken budget, and I lack it. It /looks/ like reality but … ?!?!!?!? #
  • Feeling disappointed at CVS. Went at lunch to get contact sol’n, looked for Cadbury’s (full size) eggs & Smarties, found neither. :( #
  • But I did find jelly beans and caramel cremes (“Bullseyes,” apparently, a coworker informs me), so I made out all right anyway. #
  • Ooh, I forgot Maher v. Coulter was tonight. Hopefully the theatre won’t go up in apocalyptic flames until after my class gets out. #

  • Currently contemplating how much money I would need to save up in order to take a gap year after I finish my degree. Wouldn’t that be nice? #
  • @sanityknit Gap year /anywhere/! Just not at work!!! #
  • @sanityknit You’d be leaving boys at home in charge of all your yarn. Sure you can take that risk? :-) #
  • In search of a new project, I cast on…for my third clapotis. Hey, it’s mindless, and looks great. #
  • p.s. @smokes70 Don’t worry, I haven’t abandoned your scarf…:-) #
  • @hubbit Hahaha. Drunktweet! #
  • <3 music discovered via being used as background in a Youtube video. #
  • @stephenfry Teehee! I just wish you could make out the nose’s features in the wee twitpic! #
  • Can’t decide if I want to go out to the Windy City spinning group meeting tonight or no. Want to spin…but want, also, to slack. #
  • Just finally reset my wristwatch for DST. Expect life to get a little less surprising now (…for a few months, at least). #
  • Figs Doom Nations! God Shoulda Put A Ring On It! http://tinyurl.com/admhpr #
  • My ‘hood scored 100 points out of 100 at http://walkscore.com/. Obvy, I’ve been spending most of my life living in a walker’s paradise. #
  • Ahahaha. http://tinyurl.com/59t5ez #

Red Nose Day kitty icon

as i do not live in .uk, am not a regular participant in Red Nose Day… though, due to being pretty entertained by @THEDavidTennant, did fling a couple pounds their way this morning. and then i ponied up again for a shiny icon! charity is fun! see, Sunday Mail, surely if dozens of people around the Interwebs have found a sense of humor you can too!

also — sort of on topic — EX-CA-VATE!

pop culture, squee none

  • It never quite gets a little less weird when the balcony work crew’s platform suddenly passes my windows without warning. Morning, guys! #
  • Just saw Amazon stocks “Baconnaise Lite.” I question the wisdom of ingesting such a product. #
  • Ha! It’s National Procrastination Week. http://tinyurl.com/aw4dtq This week, I shall put off … I don’t know. What should I put off? #
  • @mizmoose Well, realizing that I start out from a default position of ‘mayo is gross,’ that is just ruining perfectly good bacon flavoring. #
  • Re: Tie Warehouse’s Multi-Colored Check Bow Tie: People. Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. #
  • @hubbit I think he actually would have felt that that particular tie was a tie too far. He had class as well as whimsy. #
  • @smokes70 Yes! And then tomorrow we shall gossip about it muchly. :) #

Lunchy foodstuffs that are impossible to find around the office

9 March 2009 at 11:49 Comments off

1) Matzoh ball soup. We used to be able to get this at Finkl’s on S. Financial Pl., but they closed and left a gaping hole in my lunches.
2) Fish and chips. NOWHERE. There is no justice.
3) Chicken schwarma. We used to be able to get this from a place on S. Clark St., but they closed and, inexplicably, were replaced by a crêperie. Because there’s so much demand for crêpes around here. I WANT MY CHICKEN SCHWARMA (and kickass hummos) BACK.
4) Curry. Burrito Buggy does scary curry (it is from Burrito Buggy, after all), and Village Restaurant does extremely oily curry (at a distance), but nobody does good curry.
5) Really good french fries. You can find fries several places, but none of them are really satisfying when what you want is really good fries.
6) Macaroni and cheese.
7) Chicken salad sandwiches. (The ubiquitous Potbelly’s does not count.)

Proposed solutions:
1) The Rage needs to open up a loop location. This solves actually most of these problems as I would just eat there every day for the rest of my life (until I died of deliciousness poisoning).
2) Finkl’s must come back. COME BAAAACK, PLEEEEEEEASE!!!
3) We need an authentic chippie. With authenticity emphasis on the food, not on the vintage “My Goodness, My Guinness” signage.
4) Or I could just give up and learn to stop complaining. Hahaha, as if that’s going to happen. GIVE ME BUTTER CHICKEN NOW!!
