lovely lady bump
Oh hey, there's a new pizza place next door on Diversey. It's called Pizza Persona, and I don't recommend it.

I considered biking across the new bridge yesterday. Is it open to Chicago Ave now?

a. The pizza is really not good. It's all quasi-personal-sized (10" I think) thin crust pizzas, which is fine. But the crust is not good, and the toppings were sparse and not great. It's cheap though, so I guess if you need calories but are short on cash - well no, if that's the case, just go to McDonald's.
xp - No, I don't think so! I was going to mention that - a while back a cabbie told me that they were going to be repairing/replacing *all* of the bridges and viaducts on Halsted, and that's what they're doing. The one that goes over the south branch is now under construction. :(

I saw a car driving down it the other day and was thus confused. The bike lanes look nice.

I went to the planetarium yesterday and saw Jupiter through a giant telescope. It ruled.

ha - I sneezed while reading LL and Corey's posts and it looked like "I saw a car and Jupiter driving down it the other day."

Pizza persona looks annoying. I will never eat there.

I ordered The Hipster by name and it didn't feel good to do so.

Courtney and I ate there. Her opinion was that it was actually the worst pizza she'd ever eaten.
It was bad enough that we went and ate a second lunch at Noodles & Co., which has yet to let anyone down.

is all of the text on that burnt sienna background? that's awesome, if so. very primordial.
― Z S, Friday, 30 December 2011 17:33 (twelve years ago) link
yep. it's all red, white, and black. for an otherwise purely informative series nonfiction book about cavepeople, it's remarkably arty!
marek, our protagonist caveman, is wearing a bear pelt/corpse in that illustration btw

writing a dress code policy woo-hoo

10 minutes left until we close woo-hoo
Make it so everyone must wear a clever hat on Tuesdays.

"Socks must match, except on alternating Thursdays, when socks are prohibited."

T-shirts strictly forbidden, unless they bear the logo of 1) the library or 2) Big Johnson.

It would be wonderful to make the policy extremely convoluted and absurd. Though I guess technically it's not a policy but a clarification of a policy.

things i need to do, but cannot manage to do so far yet today:
-- laundry-- produce market shopping-- washing the dog-- changing out of my head-to-toe green loungewear outfit-- going outside-- combing my hair
I did manage to take a shower and eat lunch.

I haven't combed my hair today either. Or gone outside or done laundry but tbf I didn't have very high aspirations today re: activity.
Fixing to make a roast chicken, sweet potatoes, and collards, though.
