Um, well, we listened to aggressively cheerful music sung by people chosen for their ability to dance. Then we ate cookie dough, and talked about boys.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

In that case, Jess, maybe a nice food basket, or mulling spices from William Sonoma, or something like that.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'd go with toys, Jess. I know there are other places, but Exit 9 on Ave A has a ton of funny/kitchy/etc. stuff, much of which I bought last night.

Anyone know much about the very early history of the Bible?

Hunt down the books of Bart Ehrman, author of "Misquoting Jesus" and several books on how the very early scriptures differ between themselves. I have several of them, and he's a very clear writer without an axe to grind other than to point out that the Bible isn't the same "word of God" it was in the early days. He's the chairman of the religious studies department at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

tommyrot, I think they're just being assholes. No logic required.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommyrot, I think they're just being assholes.

Yeah, but they could at least be assholes in a way that makes sense. Is that too much to ask? Apparantly it is (for an asshole).

It's on the West side of the Metra bridge on Foster (eta: between Damen and Ashland), btw. They have another sign on the East side of the bridge. It's just a straightforward "buy our fur" type sign, and it appears to have been paint-bombed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Cool, maybe I can stop by this weekend. I'd rather do something funny than food-related.

For reasons that don't matter at all at this point, we have a shitload of Barbies floating around my office. For no good reason, these Barbies irk me. So we're having a toy drive in the building, and I'm totally giving the Barbies away!! OK, not all of them, but the lame ones for sure.

It's around 4th Street. You live on the F, right? Pretty convenient, then.
