En route.
I am on my way to the lit fest and just found out that my friends who were going to meet me there are not meeting me there. I was about to be in a bad mood when I noticed that I am sitting on this cta train with a guy who looks just like Kenneth from 30 Rock. Then the train passed a building with graffiti on it saying, "Obese kids" on one side and ( Read more... ) -
To quote our former governor, "It's fucking golden."
I won a prize for the research I presented at the art history symposium! There's a humorous trophy involved--a slide carousel spray-painted gold with a plaque attached--and a check in the mail. While it was a small-ish group presenting on Friday, I still feel like the win says a lot of good things about my research. One of the panelists is very ( Read more... ) -
Osama, coyotes.
So everyone knows Osama is dead. I think everyone does not know that he isn't the only terrorist in the world. I hear people saying things like, "It's finally over," celebrating and guessing when we will all be able to wear shoes while going through airport security once again. As for me, I live walking distance from O'Hare airport. My husband and ( Read more... ) -
Bird-thdays and whatnot.
This week, Zissou turned 5. Not too long ago, Ferguson turned 2. On May 5 (aka Cinco do Argyle), Argyle turns 8. I really need to put new pictures of them on my profile here ( Read more... ) -
RIP Gerard Smith
TV On The Radio's bassist has died of lung cancer.
I'll be listening to Stork and Owl on repeat today. -
CTA candles.
I think I can pay for grad school by launching a line of cta candles to sell at Urban Outfitters. Fragrances will include Bum Piss, Old Woman Who Eats Calamari, Giggling Pothead, Random Sweat Aroma (alternately called Sports Enthusiast), Old Pizza, and Evening Cigarette. Hipsters, does this sound like a good idea? Would you buy these to help make ( Read more... ) -
Attention people who like blankets.
I just got a coupon/card for $25 off an order from campusquilts.com, plus a $10 "tell a friend" coupon. I'm not going to use either of them because, while I am very pleased with the t-shirt quilt they made me over a year ago, I'm not actively planning another one right now ( Read more... ) -
Rumors
What is all this talk about lj crashing or being dismantled by hackers or whatever? I see people offering dreamwidth accounts again. Is it really for real in real life this time or just rumors like last time? Or is a Russian hacker already defacing pics of my parrots and I just haven't noticed yet?

I just saw a seagull flying down Wabash with half a sandwich. The world is a beautiful place.

iPhone App!
I realized that since I got my iPhone, I have been doing more internet stuff on it than I ever planned. I put the LJ app on it so I can read my friends list on the CTA. Ideally, this will help me keep up with things, which I have not been doing lately. I have to say that while I really like the app overall and the interface and functionality, I ( Read more... )
