The city of Chicago has dyed the fountain at Daley Center red in honor of the Black Hawks making it to the Stanley Cup--looks gruesomely wonderful!
ETA: there is also a 'Hawks helmet on an Art Institute lion and a jersey on a brachiosaurus.
I love the smell of desperate librarian in the morning.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Would this be good for gardening? Do you think people on Craigslist would come and haul away juicy worm dirt?
I would take it! It takes a long time to make soil that good.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Over two weeks ago, engineers added red dye to the fountain at Chicago's Daley Plaza in honor of the Chicago Blackhawks' playoff run ... only the process was a total failure, turning the fountain into a hot pink mess that had some tourists convinced it was a stunt for breast cancer awareness. The fountain was drained and cleaned in preparation for a second attempt.
Oopsie! Fountain FAIL!

HA! I will go outside and take photos of Worm Porn soon, then.
Also, junk pile wood, and shelving in garage.
I think I will try to sell the shelving, though. There is a ton of it, and someone trying to organize their garage for cheap would have a shelf-gasm. It's metal sectional shelving, and in good shape. I will keep some, though, for our own garage, and the basement, but I think I will just say $40 for the rest.
I had a bagel. I was shaky. Eat, fool. I think I will clean the upstairs while it is still hot and superhumid out, and do some picture-taking and more raking when I get the coals going for grilling.
Shit I Have Done Today: called dentist to confirm tomorrow's appt, called psychiatrist and set up appt, called plumber and set up appointment for tonight, raked driveway, did dishes, put pruned branches in yard bags.
OMG I AM A SURBURBAN HOUSEWIFE!

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
I just found out via a comment on my facebook link that a friend of mine has. He said it is truly amazing in person.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I just went to a meeting where people didn't introduce themselves to me. I introduced myself to them! Because we don't know each other! I only realized this when I went to write up the meeting, so I had to ask a coworker (not at the meeting) who they might have been. Manners, people!
