Ok! I am off to the Sox game. Think I'll take Multnomah with — electric blue mohair, sitting in full sun, what could go wrong? #
How much do I love that the Hyperbole and a Half strip ("Clean ALL the things?") keeps getting referenced by folks on my twitter feed? <3 #

I mean, surely that has as much chance as my Cook County President platform, which is simply, "I Am Not Todd Stroger Jr." #
I wonder if I could get elected mayor on a "I promise to do everything I can to find a way to weasel out of the parking meter sale" ticket. #
So, yeah, this week can basically just DIAF. #
And in other news, I helped a newbie classmate from school set up his DNS. Even slackers like me do work on sysadmin day! #
Finished my 3-ply Wensleydale. Turned out more a fingering weight than laceweight, but I think it still turned out all right. #

Grump. #
I have the music from the mall car chase in the Blues Brothers stuck in my head. #
Also, a real "convenience" charge would pay for me to have a chance to kneecap a ticketmaster executive. I'd find that very convenient. #
Ticket price: $9.50. Ticketmaster facility charge: $2.50. Ticketmaster convenience charge: $4.35. Taxes: $0.22. Only 75% markup – bargain! #
Why is my new favorite sports bra only in stock in colors guaranteed to show under light-colored T-shirts? I call boobie conspiracy. #

This creepy dog-faced singing man is creepy, and creeps me out with his creepiness. http://is.gd/dPhvP #
http://learnyourdamnhomophones.com/ Warning: contains lots of extremely embittered swearing. Thus, likely written by a HS English teacher. #
Called to volunteer for K'zoo burst oil pipeline cleanup. I am on a list! http://is.gd/dOKsx #

Totally yummy veg dinner tonight, yet am still not convinced about swiss chard. I like easier vegetables, like baby carrots. #
Hm. Hungry. Too hot to cook, but already had hummos & eggplant dip on pita for lunch. Need more cold food options. #
Not to give you the impression that I am *not* a fabulously good driver, of course, because I am. Mad skill *and* elegance behind the wheel! #
Sweet. I have a 5-year good driver discount with my car insurance. See, it pays to have a car that you never drive anywhere! #
Drawing a total blank of what a "music-friendly" description of a running skirt means. No pocket or ipod whatever, just "music-friendly." #
It's warm out there. It gets downright hot if you go for a half hour run on the lakefront. *pant* *pant* *drip sweat* *pant* #
