Pretty good day.
Twins Win.
Andrea and I got sushi.
I got the final figure I need and should have enough time to get my Anima Tactics army set up before this weekend.
I put a basket on my bike. Zoom zoom.
Half-Price books had one copy Murakami’s After Dark in stock; I don’t know who you people are that bring in books I love to the used book store. On the one hand I love being able to get my...

The Girl Who Fixed the Umlaut : The New Yorker →
ericaaaaa:
A play on The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo by Stieg Larsson, which was the worst book I read in the past year. Nora Ephron loses some points for not even alluding to an entirely unnecessary report on the tech specs of the iBook, but I still laughed. And! I only had to read one page to do so instead of 600!

Now with 100% less rape!

– TheSexist is looking forward to the Atlas Shrugged movie; ironically being made in a recession on a shoestring budget starring AND directed by someone you’ve never heard of.

I wonder if Joe Lieberman just wakes up every day and tries to think of new ways to be the worst person ever.

Used books are better
This weekend I picked up a used copy of Patricia Hill Collins’s Black Feminist Thought at the used bookstore, part of the chain I used to work at in fact. The price was marked down even further than the normal markdown because this copy was being sold ‘as-is’ which is to say it was full of someone else’s highlighter marks, post-it flags, and tight penciled script in the...

Toxic cities mock 'healthy' cycle riding →
thepolitics:

The research involved fitting cyclists with devices that could count the particles, mostly emitted by car exhausts, in the air they were breathing.
It showed that...

On opening tumblr today
Me: Oh my god! Why is it black?
Andrea: I don't know, I think it got oil-spilled.
Me: Hey, there's a donate button, will that fix it? If I turns it back I'm doing it. Black tumblr is for emos.
One donation later
Me: FUCK!

Where should I live in MPLS?
So, some people pretty adamantly disagree with my assessment of Minneapolis (which is just great; feedback is wonderful). So I will now solicit suggestions from tumblr. Just keep these things in mind;
I work at 9th and Marquette downtown.
I don’t have a car.
I need access to fresh fruit and vegetables.
My work schedule is subject to change including night shifts.
I want my own...
