Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Good luck, msbelle!

Why did I click on that Manhattan restaurant link?? Now I am sad again that there is no Korean neighborhood here.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, god, today is kicking my ass.

I think that means what used to be a turkey bacon guac from Quizno's.

And then heads down on the PM deliverables.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

That's the main thing I love about my area of the suburbs. Where I grew up (in Joliet), we were in the antithesis of "diverse community." Hell, I never tried decent Chinese food until I went to Milwaukee for college! When I first moved up here to the NW 'burbs in 1993, residents were either white or Hispanic, and whites were not recent immigrants, either. That's why I moved to Oak Park after a few years, because I couldn't bear it any longer.

Then, when I moved back here in 2006, everything had changed. My town has immigrants from all over the world, the restaurants range from Russian to Korean to Italian to Mexican to Thai in a few miles, the houses of worship are equally diverse (there's a wonderfully-designed Hindu temple in the middle of the industrial valley I drive through on my commute to work)--it's so incredible how everything shifted in only eleven years.

You should write a column for Time Magazine!

It would be a nice answer to the Stein column, wouldn't it?

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

Oh, god, today is kicking my ass.

Same here! So I decided to blow off what I brought for lunch today in favor of a sandwich from the cafe next door, which sets up a bbq grill on Wednesdays.

Like the Chipotle, it's tasty, but pretty much fails to sell me on going back, at least any time soon.

I had a pretty good burrito for lunch, from a place I hadn't been. Still haven't, for what that's worth, since coworkers picked it up...

Seeing stuff about Wonder Woman's new outfit reminds me, at some point in Turkey (must have been Efes?), in some context about Artemis, I just spun around in a circle as we were walking, to make a Wonder Woman reference, and my mother totally got it. Good one, mom.

At my old office I'd switched my burrito loyalty from Chipotle to Qdoba. Here, I have neither. So sad.

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

I am not a huge comic book geek. But apparently, Almost everyone hates Wonder Woman's new costume

I think it's OK.

Also, kinda' a clever way of doing a reboot - I read elsewhere the gods changed the timeline!

(Is that a spoiler? It's the basic premise of the reboot.)
