email from a stranger
I just received this message…
Subject: wow
Message: I so want to be the drag queen version of you.
What does that mean? The drag queen version of me would be boring. I’m not overly girly or ‘fabulous’. I don’t go out much and when I do I’m far from the center of attention. I read, knit, sew, attempt to cook and bicycle. I’m interested in seeing...

Vélocouture →
This is a fun new blog I’m looking forward to reading. I’m already a fan of their flickr group.
“We’re going to use this blog to feature some of our favorite photos from the Vélocouture [flickr] photo group. We’ll also offer clothing tips and tricks that we’ve learned; show you beautiful and practical bikes and bike stuff that we find; and do our part to make stylish,...
I want ice cream
Preferably soft-serve chocolate and vanilla swirl with sprinkles. It’s freezing in the office today and my tiny space heater is doing little to warm me; but I still want ice cream.
MY HOPE
bagcoffee:
For ever night I have to stay in, I know there will be a fun night out in the future.
For ever time I eat alone, I know there will be a night when I can pick-up the check for friends.
For every time I wish I was working on something I enjoyed, I know there will be a time where I couldn’t believe I’d be getting paid doing a job.
For every time I’m bored, I know there will be an...

If you’re interested in this I would suggest reading Planet of Slums, by Mike Davis.
Chicago Meet-up

I think Chicago is all talk, no meet-ups. One of us must have some kind of organizational skills…right?
Sorry to be debbie downer here, but I’m not into the strip club idea or the all-ages one. I’ve always thought Wilde on Broadway/Belmont would be a good place for a meetup. Pretty big place, huge booths for big groups of people to discuss the world of Tumblr. Last...
ArcGIS
I just spent two hours trying to figure out how to fix some map projections on ArcGIS and completely failed. If anyone knows anything about that shit please please please help me. I will bake you cookies.
bad day
Today is awful. I am trying to keep things in perspective and realize that it’s not as bad as I think, and the nauseous feeling will go away soon enough, but right now I just want to go home and hide under the covers. I think that in general I’m a pretty happy person with a sometimes (as I’m told) annoyingly positive outlook on things, but today it feels like there is a hunderd...

ticketmaster
I just bought my tickets for Bonnie Prince Billy. I had to get them through Ticketmaster. As hard as it is to believe, this is the first time I’ve gotten tickets through Ticketmaster. They effing suck. Tickets were $19 and I ended up paying $34! What the fuck?! I don’t understand how this is okay. I mean, I happy to pay $34 to see Will Oldham, but not if half of it is for...

Right now I’m the one not getting let in. Sometimes, no matter what you say to someone, they can’t or won’t believe how amazing you know they really are.

Bonnie Prince Billy at the Vic 3/14
Tickets go on sale tomorrow.
Gywneth (Paltrow) and I have a favorite book in common (Crime and Punishment). If me met we would probably be best friends forever. The things you learn reading Goop….
In one of my classes this semester I’m learning ArcGIS. It’s seem pretty interesting. I’m thinking about getting certified in GIS as part of my grad program. I think I could even do it without taking any extra classes. Sweet.
Valentine's Day PSA →
oliviaisferosch:
I was reading Regan’s blog yesterday, and as a concierge-y lady, she penned a post with a lot of tips for buying/planning things for Valentine’s Day. I don’t think anyone needs to plan like that, but I just wanted to pipe in to concur with her statements about florist. If you do end up buying flowers for someone, do NOT buy from 1-800-flowers or FTD. Both are atrocious, make...

Yes. Yes. YES! Let’s build something beautiful.

Maybe it’s not the right time but I started to read As I Lay Dying today and I’m 45 pages in and pretty bored. But someone just told me it was their favorite book.
Can I abandon it? I usually can’t give up on a book.
Give it a chance. It may be a little slow but it really is a wonderful book.
Easier does not mean better.
