kick it in a ratty nerd-themed tee
and tennis shoes
and sip tea all morning
and be like “non-tech people suck”
because that is exactly what Joel is
;D

Mrwor.
BEST sound.

riiiiiiiiight.
because I believe you.
okay well, pick one of the couples, and I’ll see what I can do. =P
Grammar Nazi IRL
So the other day, as I was locking up my bike, I noticed this City of Portland parking van parked near my office:
I was greatly annoyed by this, because while I could figure out the intended message, it’s only because this kind of message is prevalent, and I was honestly confused for a second because what it actually says doesn’t make much sense.
For those not as obnoxious as me: without any kind of separation, that warning tells the reader that they should expect that not very many stops should be happening in the future, which is precisely the opposite of what they are intended to say. At the least, there should be a semicolon or two different lines, to indicate they are two separate thoughts – “Many stops; do not follow” would be a perfectly legitimate warning. I later saw one that I permitted, in which the two thoughts were identical to this one, but separated by a large amount of white (or, rather orange) space:
Apparently the actual parking repair vans know their stuff. But that first one is still in need of revision. I was considering getting some vinyl semicolons printed up to rectify the omission myself with a little guerilla copyediting, but then I realized that I still had about half of my 100-pack of HRC stickers, which just happened to be a very similar shade of blue. After rummaging around the office for a razor blade, I know have some guerilla semicolons ready to go for next time:
The size is a little iffy, we’ll see how it goes. I saw one outside this morning, but was not fast enough, and by the time I got down there with a sticker and a razor blade, the parking attendants were back in their van.
Next time…
please let’s just all take a moment to acknowledge how awesome Joel is.

Gorramit, I don’t understand this mutability of Tumblr URLs. You’re breaking all my links.
awwwww. lo siento. but I like to customize things…you knowwww this.
well, I…
I guess I could manage that…
should I require the Converse to be purchased before pictures, or just go with what I have?

“gazing at things for just a beat or two too long” I know exactly what you’re talking about. Good thing I’ve never drank coffee.
…wait…
NEVER?!
that seems impossible.

It’s hard to take pictures of yourself peeking around doorframes when you don’t have a roommate or a tripod! I do have a girlfriend visiting now though, so I might actually get to do the Who thing tonight/tomorrow.
riiiiiiiiiiiight. because THAT’S why you’ll be half naked in the bathroom.

Heh. This reminds me I should make a (looooooong) ragecomic about my similar(ish) experience with LA Fitness…
oh lawdy, please do. I love ragecomics.

You can just talk about me all lunch. I’m fascinating.
this is true. I could explain all about how you were once in the Fold, and then you were Led Astray, and now you’re my BFF and we have a hypothetical sex life and I tell you all about my strange bedroom habits. YEAH RIGHT JOEL
