Also bring the little one, they're going to want a stool sample. You might want to bring a sample from the cats just in case.

got my license renewed. i had to take the written test for some reason but it was really easy. whole process took an hour and cost $30.

Can't believe you had to take a written test.
That URL also suggests that he used Bobcat Goldthwait as a weapon.

I think I had to take a written test when I renewed in 2006.

this morning i was listening to jaymc's steely dan mix and i was like "i'm going to wait and listen to 'hey 19' after i'm done at the dmv and walking over to my work." and then while i was taking my written exam at the dmv, i realized they were playing "hey 19" over the speakers.

I think I have a free ticket to see Kurt Vile at Lincoln Hall on the 20th, as part of an assignment to photograph the show. A paid assignment with a press pass! Awesome!

I'm ready a really good book. The Countess by Rebecca Johns - http://www.amazon.com/The-Countess-Novel-Rebecca-Johns/dp/0307588459. It's historical fiction about everybody's favorite grumpy Hungarian countess, Elizabeth Nadasdy nee Bathory. It's proper historical fiction, not SHE WAS REALLY A VAMPIRE fiction, and it is really fascinating. And gross.

I'm torn between being very excited about all of the protests/civil disobedience and being preemptively exhausted about how this is going to impact my daily life and also being very stressed because I have so much work to do and can't afford to miss any days.
The latter two are exacerbated by my having contracted a Hell Cold sometime this weekend.

They are removing public bike racks for next weekend. I feel like that's more about targeting protesters than it is about public safety.
If they want to remove things that might interfere with public safety, they should burn the big white statute/public urinal in front of my building.
