Note to self, brides: that cupcake tower you’re raving about in your blog post because it makes your wedding sooooo hip? Lost its cachet about 3 years ago when EVERYONE ELSE STARTED DOING IT.

Sharpie

Yesterday at work I was helping a family get library cards. I gave the Mom a sharpie marker to sign the back of her card and her daughter said “But it’s not a Patrick Sharp sharpie!” It was great.

lotus09: What the hell is this color thing on fbook? Girls are posting what their bra colors are as some sort of solidarity meme for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

lotus09: watching mlb network. burns’ baseball on. i respect the cardinals 4 devel farm system and growing players more than ny $! Well, I had been watching it moments before I replied to you on Twitter, but when I got back downstairs Dad had already fallen asleep on the only couch in the room. C’est la vie. Guess I’ll watch some Doctor Who now if I can get my dvd player hooked up...

Cubs bathroom = complete.

I have been looking for years for a Cubs shower curtain and finally found one online this fall. I asked for it for Xmas and Santa delivered. Santa also delivered a Cubs toilet seat cover and a cover for the tank’s lid. I didn’t have the heart to tell my parents that I had intentionally avoided adorning the toilet with anything Cubs-related out of respect for the franchise and general...

ONE GOAL

BLACKHAWKS. YES. SUCK IT, BOSTON.

This Hawks game

is a little weird because the Sabres fans are cheering for their team and also cheering anytime Patrick Kane does something worthwhile, even if it’s to the detriment of the Sabres.

Dear Hawks,

thelizz: Please feel free to score any time now. kthanks, Lizz And Hayley.

I like to call this the Birthday Week of Shame.

thehighestheels: abbeyparker: Roughly nine months after Valentine’s Day. I guess I’d just like to thank my mother and father for… let’s not even go down that road. I was wondering why so many of my friends have birthdays this week! I guess if I just would have done the math… HA! Justin’s is Thursday.

Okay, this is a relatively small sample size of a pretty weak sample of subjects to begin with, but… still. I’d like to see this conducted on a larger scale to see if the results are similar before I buy into this. It’s just that… utterly incomprehensible to me.

I’m having chorizo for lunch [leftover from breakfast at Schoop’s] and it reminds me of my Cubbie girls who always talk about chorizo.

macbook halp

My ethernet cord is stuck in my mac. As in, I press the tab down and attempt to pull it out to no avail. I only stuck it in last night because John changed our wifi password and didn’t tell me and I had no choice. But I need it out 1) so I can utilize all the inherent features of having a portable computer and 2) for the Wii because its wifi craps out on me when I’m playing AC and that...

tumblr halp

How exactly does one make a “comment” to someone else’s post - do you reblog it with your comments, or is there a link I’m overlooking or what? When I look at my Tumblr I see a link that says “comment,” but I see none such link when I use my Dashboard to view other people’s posts. What gives?

Pass the bottle over

lotus09: I could use a large shot of that vanilla vodka right now. *slaps forehead* I HATE making stupid mistakes at work. HATE. I needed it yesterday, too, and for the same reason. Methinks an Irish Oak outing needs to be organized soon.

“Psycho Killer” by the Talking Heads is stuck in my head, which feels both appropriate and inappropriate considering the day’s events.

lotus09: “a gallon of vodka and a touch of class” no lime twist? Well, I prefer the vanilla variety of vodka, so the lime makes it taste funny.
