I want a duck taco for lunch, but Tacocracy doesn't open until 4. Damn them.

Oh, hey! My neighborhood is opening up a kids' literacy/writing center like 826 Valencia/Brooklyn/etc., this weekend! It's called WordPlay. It's not affiliated with the 826 centers, but took their inspiration from them. The storefront is the Urban Legend Institute. (Since 826 Valencia is the pirate supply store, and you can get mopped there, I asked Tim what he thought might happen to shoppers at the Urban Legend Institute. "Get mauled by Sasquatch" was his answer.)

My neighborhood kicks SO MUCH ASS, y'all. Duck tacos and the Urban Legend Institute.

I need to look into volunteering there. Uh, the kids' writing center, not the taco place. Although I'd be okay with that, too.

I just hope they sell a dead cat in a shopping bag.....

I'm unaware of that urban legend.

Or taco.

Do you feel like having a party?

I don't know? Kind of? I like celebrating my birthday. I just don't like having to plan it.

Now that's just downright un-American.

I went to the farmer's market and brought back food, including a honey pecan tart. Now I am in a food coma, which will hopefully pass before my 11AM meeting.

It ain't easy living in a tacocracy.

It is a good one! And not a taco.(I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the details wrong, but....) My grandmother's friend's cat died, and she had to bring the body to vet for disposal. So she put it in the only bag she had that was the right size, which happened to be a Neiman Marcus shopping bag. She was getting out of the car, and put the bag down on the sidewalk for a second while she did something, and some jerk came and stole the bag! The thief thought he was ripping off an old lady of her expensive department store purchases, but actually got a dead cat in a bag.

The end.

Snopes on the story, with some stuff I forgot: [link]

I've heard the same story with an old lady carrying dog poop in a nice bag to disguise it.
