Is LJ being weird?
I tried to post and it just won't let me.
I was trying to post this story about an intrepid group of knitters from around the world that recreated a 100+ year old lace shawl pattern from two photographs.
But it wouldn't let me.

Mona and I just went to the store. On the way back, I noticed fire trucks! police cars! an ambulance! at this house on the corner. I couldn't figure out what was happening because I wasn't seeing anything that looked emergency-like.
Then I realized there was a CAR on their front porch.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Crap, another lefty cafe in Evanston is closing. Wild Tree (on the corner of Davis and Oak) is closing due to bankruptcy. They just weren't doing well in this economy.

I don't know but I will confess to a having similar reaction. So we can be bad people together.

They took a seedy part of town that wasn't hurtin' nobody (except for the occasional murder) and turned it all touristy and sports-bar-ish....
The verb for this is: Giuliani.
"They totes Giulianied 9th and Hennepin, man!"

Holy shit - one of the A's top prospects in the minors has decided to leave baseball and join the priesthood. WTF, Grant Desme! I need your home runs more than God needs your service.
