Back from going out to Holy Frijoles for St. Paddy's. Where we had beer and margaritas. We've decided that on Cinco de Mayo, we're going to an irish bar...
Hilariously enough, ran into my other neighborhood crew as we were trolling places to drink at. Find it even more amusing that I live in the middle of the block, am the newest one, and am the bridge between these two groups. (Who, honestly, would meld just fine. Just haven't, for whatever reason.)
I smell like a mexican restaurant. Loki finds it fascinating.
There's a food truck here called Jose O'Malleys. Never eaten it, but sounds trippy (they have couches!)
Couches are good. We scored one tonight. And I got dish on the Clintons. Neighbor is a DC designer, friends with theirs.
So I am falling back in love with Grant Hill based on his response to Jalen Rose. I know he's an ass kicking basketball player, but he has a mind that should have chosen law school.

Love.
I think he totally does his education from Duke proud.
Too late to see it live, but ladies, Enver Gjokaj is on Community tonight. With a Balkan accent. It'll be on demand/hulu.
Also, think Rick for the Times educator subscription link. Thinking about it. Sunday delivery with my coffee!
Have we heard from ita since earlier this morning? I hope she's sleeping a lot, but I worry.
I just read all of that after you posted, Kat.
He is very eloquent.
A good education is a privilege.
It's not an awesome day for me historically and today really decided not to ease up so I am perhaps overly emotional, but his response did make me well up a little.
There are a lot of complicated issues that get snarled up together but taking a privilege and using that try and make more lives, beyond yourself, better? I respect that.
He really does do his education from Duke proud.
Jilli, Tim Burton exhibit at LACMA. Any chance you are going?
There is much scrutinizing of the household budget and calendar, yessssss.
(Why oh why couldn't it have opened the same weekend as Bats' Day? That would have made things SO SIMPLE.)
Has anyone else with a compost heap wondered if carrots are really food? They seem to have the half-life of a Twinkie.
If you eat enough of them, they'll tint your skin orange.
