Natter 67: Overriding Vetoes

Want this house! [link]
I found out that Leif has a kindergarten girl crushing on him. So cute. The girl's older sister is the bus monitor and keeps trying to get Leif to sit with her on the bus.
I name-dropped Colin the other day at work. I was feeling shamefully dirty, but the guy I did it to just waved at me in the hallway. He's never waved at me before. Am I a cool kid now? Am I riding the Ferg's coattails? Fuck him.
When I was in first grade, I had three girlfriends at the same time. Or at least in my mind I did.
It's all been downhill since then....
That house is incredible, DJ. So spare and clean.
Hey, Hec, have you been to Mission: Comics and Art? Wait, I think I took you there. The owner reminds me of you. He has a similar look and voice; it was throwing me tonight.
Middle aged disshevled is a look?
I do remember that store. It's cool.
I've heard a rumor that Comic Relief in Berkeley might be in bad financial shape. (Literally, overhead two guys talking at Booksmith in the Haight. So I can't source that rumor, but one of them sounded like he had inside knowledge.)
That would be a huge blow as it's one of the best comic shops in the country.
ita's post confused me for a second, because I keep thinking this is Saturday, not Friday, since it's not a work day for me.
Now that I remember that it is Friday, what are people doing this weekend?
It's hard to know what to say about Chi-fil-A. There's no question the company is overtly Christian, but Truett Cathy was an old-school "even as ye have done to the least of these" Christian. It's one of the best corporate citizens around. It's funded $25 million plus in scholarships, mostly to its young employees, plus millions for homes for foster children. It really will supply food to most non-profit organizations that ask.
what are people doing this weekend?
Taking Emmett to Krav on Saturday and Sunday. Then I've got to finish up writing assignments on Jack Kirby, my Bubblegum entry into the Pop Encyclopedia and a piece on underground filmmaker Kenneth Anger.
