It's better for friend time if you make the friends there instead of trying to interact with current ones.

Jeff was singing "Stacy's Mom" this morning and now it's in my head, but it's a mash-up of Stacy's Mom and the Nationwide jingle so it goes:
Stacy's mom has got it going onSta-cy's mom.
I also always mash up "Hips Don't Lie" and "All Night Long" so it goes:
Laaaaa la la a (I don't know the lyrics)My hips don't lieand I'm starting to feel it now (see above)We're going toparty, La Bamba, fiesta forevercome on and sing along

Imagine flat-front slacks and a crisp shirt. I'm dressed as the oppressor, I guess.

Thx E-Zed, but not today.
This detour has been nice for Groupon employees. The year long bus reroute created a stop directly in front of their door.
That reminds me Have you guys noticed that some big buildings have shuttle service for workers in that building? Groupon's building has that to and from the Metra, and the Blue Cross bulldog has some too. Pretty cool.

We've been watching Star Trek: TOS* and I think I'm subconsciously dressing like Star Trek space babes as a result (today - long blue striped dress, electric blue eye makeup, slight bump-it-esque elevation to my hair).
*This show is so fucking sexist it is almost no fun to watch. I keep hoping it gets a little less awful, and then Kirk will fight with a clone of himself (this happens like every third episode), and that is always hilarious and I think, "Okay, I can keep watching this." Then the next episode involves yet another plot about a woman who appears beautiful but is actually OLD and UGLY (read: they omit the eye make up, pop a plain wig on her, and make her look roughly my age), and is FOOLING men into popping BONERS for her which is a CRIME in SPACE FUTURE. Ma'am you are charged with four counts of CAUSING BONERS UNDER FALSE PRETENSES. We sentence you to looking 40 years old.
In summary: Star Trek: TOS: mad sexist, but space babes are mad stylish.

― former personal denim advisor to the mayor, (La Lechera), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:51 (twelve years ago) link
Four. Kirk, Bones, Scotty, Red Shirt (as a half-Vulcan (hahahaha typed "Vulvan") Spock can control his boners).
― Polly biscuit face (carl agatha), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:53 (twelve years ago) link

― Silky Slim (dan m), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:55 (twelve years ago) link
vulcans totally can't control their boners tho, as shown in TOS episode "amok time": "Seemingly embarrassed, Spock informs Kirk that his condition is called Pon farr, a syndrome that all Vulcan males painfully endure periodically throughout their adult life.[note 1] During this time, they must mate or die."
― 1staethyr, Tuesday, 1 May 2012 14:57 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, but Pon farr is cyclical. In every day life, they can control their boners. In "Mudd's Women" one of, um, Mudd's women tries to rub up on Spock and he's just like :| and she comments on his self-control.

I saved part of a donut from yesterday for a treat for myself today and when I turned my back, the dog licked it. I heard her lick it. But I can't be mad at her b/c she looked so contrite and pitiful.

i like twitter because i keep it separate from everything else and don't have my real name/info attached in any way and i just use it to act the fool. i follow friends but my favorite tweets come from comedians or just randos who happen to be funny. it's like getting a bunch of one-liners all day long.
― congratulations (n/a), Tuesday, 1 May 2012 17:25 (twelve years ago) link
I like following Twitter, but I don't feel like I can jump in as a contributor.
I gave the dog the bit that she licked and ate the rest b/c it was a peanut butter and jelly donut and as such, it was very important.
IDG the soul donut joke.

So they are doing foundation work or something at the site next door and we're back to having our entire building vibrating from 7:00 until 5:30. And not just minor, hardly noticable vibrating, like spilling water out of cups and moving things across the desks, jarring vibrating. Starting to get quite annoying.

My office vibrated on and off about 4-6 months while gas mains were being replaced. It didn't so much annoy me as unsettle my basic survival instincts. Also I would embarrass myself by getting startled and shouting DAMMIT! Almost every day.
