George Washington said I could have some, so I'm going to have some.

Don't let them take your nunchuks away!

My Google-fu is failing at finding a report of the shooting.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

How is the store a fake if you actually got your necklace?

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

There are certain handmade rules you need to follow to qualify for etsy, and hers were apparently manufactured with too much technology. Which leads me think--maybe that necklace was for sale somewhere else. I might google image search tomorrow.

Huh. Roomie and I just heard what we're wondering might have been a gunshot. Or possibly fireworks. Can't decide. Maybe a car backfiring. Seemed odd.

Had a great time dancing. Yay, dancing. Yay randomly good moods. Yay flirting with girls.

I find it kinda creepy but also fascinating, the ebook tracking. I'd love to see it for some books I enjoyed vs books I didn't finish. Though I'm always bored by the 'other people highlighted' part, because I never highlight unless it's something I'm studying in school.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Gunfire or Fireworks? has been a common game around here this summer.

FUNNY BECAUSE IT'S TRUE. And I love the poster for the Loop.

Yep. The Wicker Park one is pretty funny, too.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I played a lot of Earthquake or Truck in San Diego. Mostly I waited to see if LAistas immediately posted. Then I discovered the USGS site.

Yeah, I'm wondering how I'll find out--I guess if the neighborhood blog has a dramatic story in the morning, I'll know. They let anyone post, if they want, and last week there was someone all "what was that big bang and the police and stuff at 5AM at 24th and Judkins?!?" and it turned out that was the po-po raiding the anarchists and the big bang was busting down the front door. Drama!!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Twitter searches are also good for aggregating local stuff.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm big on buying and storing books for vacation. So I have about 30 books I've bought this year where I downloaded them read a page or two to make sure they came through properly, and then set them aside. I guess I'm misleading the monitors--I'm not really that picky, honest!
