Thoughts On Stuff

Gassers, originally uploaded by sundaykofax.

I’m leaving tomorrow for Chicago. My grandma is full of cancer.

I should explain this. My grandma is smart and pragmatic. The experience of being near the end of life is not an overly-sentimental or wrenching experience for her, and by extension, not so for my family either. It’s been extraordinary seeing how well everyone is acting and making decisions. It’s very much informing how I will act when I’m near the end of my life.

I think I will blog more about my thoughts on this experience at a later date.

In the meantime, know that I’ll be getting to be with my family. I’m excited to go. I’m looking forward to reading the paper to Grandma, and dissecting the news with her. We will be eating bacon.

I’m spending the last few days of my 20’s going to rock shows and
eating candy bars. Anything else I’m missing?

$5 bowler is the best bowler,

I just was in Urban Outfitters (to make fun of their stuff),
and
walked out of there with a $5 bowler (for my brother),
and several $2
books. The last time I went in there to make fun of the store I
noticed that they had a very nice hipster book collection. Lots of
Chuck Palanuik and really nice paperback copies of To Kill a
Mockingbird. Anyway, all those books are now on clearance. Also a
great Moleskin book of Boston stuff (which appears to be similar to
the NFT [Not for Tourists] guide that Jason and I swear by. So, if you
have an Urban Outfitters around, and you like the hipster genre of
books, it may be worth your time.

I got this from over at Outside a Dog (both appropriate for the book/reading quote, and a nice compliment to Outside Cat).

You’re Watership Down!
by Richard Adams
Though many think of you as a bit young, even childish, you’re actually incredibly deep and complex. You show people the need to rethink their assumptions, and confront them on everything from how they think to where they build their houses. You might be one of the greatest people of all time. You’d be recognized as such if you weren’t always talking about talking rabbits.

Take the Book Quiz at the Blue Pyramid.

It’s totally true. Well, I’d say I talk about sheep more than rabbits, but sheep would never have a free-standing community like rabbits would.

Teddy Bauer and I in the subway. He graciously met me at the bus, and
accompanied me towards the train. Next stop, home. I really liked his
hat. And general spunkiness.

Watching the IA WI OT on the plane. I heart Jet Blue. Go Hawks!

As I was checking my bag at the United terminal, I realized I had
forgotten the LTFL banner. I looked up, and saw that my flight was
going to be an hour late. Never before has a United eff-up work to my
favor. To wit, I walked home and retrieved the banner. Huzzah!

We talked of metada, storytelling, and Denver hot spots. Then we went and found cupcakes.

Oh yeah. Cupcakes. Gotta go.
