Timelies all!
Planning to go to the Takoma Park Folk Festival on Sunday. Hopefully the 9/11 references will be few.(We were originally planning to go to the MD Ren Faire, but with the weather we've been having, we figured the site would be a bit muddy) We'll probably be hearing a lot of traditional folk music.
There's a guy here whose last day it is, and he just announced that the last work he did was for me. I'm so completely special. Though, he didn't give me the answer I wanted. I should make him go back to his desk.
Also, frell this status report.
Disappointing results so far in Operation: Dark and Stormy At Home. I got a locally-made ginger beer at the 7-11, which was delicious, but a million dollars. Then I found what is apparently the one ginger beer at my supermarket, which is Goya brand for I think 89 cents a bottle (single serving bottle), and it's got good flavor, but is super flat right away. Why are my tastes always so expensive???
the trainer gave me the most ridiculously patriotic hard hat I've ever seen. There's a screaming eagle on the front with "United States of America" on a banner underneath it, and rippling flags down the sides.
PICTURE PLEASE NOW.
Er, I mean...pardon me, my good woman, dost thou have a photographic rendering of said chapeau, and if so, couldst thou make it available in a tube of the Interwebs?
There's a screaming eagle on the front with "United States of America" on a banner underneath it, and rippling flags down the sides. It's a BADASS hard hat, but I don't know that I can bring myself to wear it. I can't decide whether to subvert it with stickers or give it to someone who will appreciate the "America, fuck yeah!!" nature of it.
This is not a hat you wear when you love America. This is a hat you wear when you have to convince the Patriotism Police that you love America.
One advantage of working in a news archive is that I've been inundated with requests for 9/11 documentaries for the past year, so I'm pretty desensitized to the media overload. I have my own memories of the actual day, but the TV images just make me think about work.
Steph, check fb for a pic.
Goddamn that is a magnificent hard hat. I think if the eagle were NOT screaming, it wouldn't be half as badass.
Oh my god, send it to Stephen Colbert!
Dear newbie fandom,
Don't argue with me. I know what I'm doing.
Love,
Me
Oh my god, send it to Stephen Colbert!
YES.
