Man, the Mayor of Oakland turned a peaceful protest into a riot. Way to go.
And yeah, still happy I got out of downtown when I did...
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I didn't like any of the characters, enough that when someone called the show "geek blackface" it was the biggest BBT-related laugh I'd ever had.
Haaaaa.

Our wings are not tired.
The Mayor isn't even in Oakland today.

Ugh. I'm still awake, still working on my presentation for tonight's class, and it's 3:15 in the morning. All I have left to do is my sources page, but that'll be another hour and I had to take a break after three hours of working on PowerPoint slides. At least now I know how to insert YouTube videos into it!
I will say that it's a pretty cool presentation. I just have to make sure I stay on track and keep it to 15 minutes. (It's about Shakers--really interesting group! There are still three members living in Maine.)

Ugh, Kat, good luck with everything.
Yay for Pumpkin!
Sorry about the sciatica, Stephanie.
I totally read that as beer instead of bear. My brain was providing commentary like "Oh, beer behind the building. That's not so bad. But why do they want people to park elsewhere? Are they afraid people will stop and get drunk on the way into work? If that's the case, perhaps they shouldn't chill beer behind the building. Allyson works at a very odd place."
Now I want someone to chill some beer behind my building.
smonster, I hope you didn't stay up all night watching FNL. Not that I haven't done that or anything.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So why did anyone involved think that tear gas was an appropriate use of force?

It's 4:30 and I'm done! Now, do I go to sleep for 2 1/2 hours, or just push through until it's time to go to work?

You're right. I only got about 3 1/2 hours last night.

You can do other things with your gourd-of-the-month club membership. You can do etching, bas reliefs, painting and wood burning. Why stop with just carving?
