At this morning’s standup
Coworker: I like your skirt, Mary Alice
Me: Thank you, I call it my “Saved By the Bell skirt.”

Hours later, in the elevator
Another coworker: I like your skirt, Mary Alice. It reminds me of Saved By the Bell

I work in a good place.

It’s a very nice day for a lunchtime walk outside and a smoothie. I’m not snorting it, I awkwardly placed the straw near my nose to show enough of the cup for color play and for that I am truly sorry.
A happy lady wearing sunglasses on a beautiful day in downtown DC. There are pink paper lanterns above her head, brightly contrasting with the azure blue sky. Her fingernails are the same color as her liquid meal, a smoothie from Fruitive, with the straw placed unfortunately directly below her left nostril. She’s smiling, unaware of how she flubbed a selfie that’s otherwise cute-as-hell.

Here's a quick (and yes, quite crude) guide to the EG/Safety Bear tour starting next week.

If you're wondering why we're parting ways near the end there, it's because sometimes I can be staring directly at words for a long time and still not process them correctly. It happens (to me).

With similar energy to when you take a moment to acknowledge a clear, 75-degree day as being a solidly good time to be alive, I recommend that you soak in the fact that the Trump administration had a very bad week. It’s not *just* approval ratings, but that’s a good place to start (source: RCP)
Graph of approval/disapproval ratings per Real Clear Politics’ polling average showing 46% approval, 51.8% disapproval. The graph dates back to the beginning of February, showing a total reversal. On February it appears the corresponding figures were about 50.5% approval, 44.5% disapproval. The trendiness show a very satisfying X pattern.

I’m not sure why, but they’ve started cracking down on office hotelers soft-reserving by leaving shit at our unofficial desks? We’ve been asked to “remove personal effects.” I was trying to think of some way to scare people into respecting my territory. Then I remembered this bag of googly eyes.

This is so fun and so worthy of the 300-whatever seconds it’ll take you to listen to both songs. We are also playing consecutive shows in DC, Pgh, CBus and Cincy on May 1, 2, 3 and 5 in that order!! #musicsky #dcmusic #pghmusic #cbusmisic #cincymusic #diy #synthpop #electropunk

Every year we make a flavor called 50% Off Easter Candy made with whatever candy I can get marked down so it’s a different mix every year. We made it today and it’ll be available later this week.
A pint of ice cream over flowing on a bench in front of Gracie’s in Somerville. The pint has various Easter candy coming out of it. The label on the pint says 50% off Easter candy Sweet cream blasted full of Easier candy I got for 50% off, i got so much I didn't have to steal any from my kids this year. Contains gluten and peanut butter, unfortunately.

I do love pope drama. Here are some artifacts of past pope upheaval from my personal collection
From September 2015, when Pope Francis made a visit to DC and everyone was terrified of the traffic and related pandemonium. If I remember correctly, nothing notable happened. A parody of a Simpsons screengrab, with a newspaper headline reading “supervillain seizes East Coast” with a picture of Pope Francis looking especially kindly superimposed. Crudely. From 2013 when the live feed of the Conclave’s chimney cam changed not to display papal smoke, but a bird perched atop said chimney. The bird has a speech bubble with a quote, which if I remember correctly was something with which John Paul II summed up his approach to Catholicism, saying “freedom consists of in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.”
