Scatter

Not many would describe the weather in Oak Park right now as beautiful, but it happens to be my favorite kind. Overcast but still bright, cool enough for the lightest of jackets, and windless. Still, I couldn't tarry outdoors during my lunch break--I need to blog! Work's been busy enough for the last couple of weeks that I often skipped my mid-day hour off, meaning no bloggy time. But the next 30 minutes, at least, are just you and me, Rawr.

The reason I've been so slogged at work: I'm coordinating our summer reading program. I got the website up today if you wanna see how cute a bug theme can be, when illustrated by Harry Bliss and pictures of some of our regulars.

Hmm. I got distracted eating a ham sandwich. Now I only have 12 minutes to blog. It might be time to skip paragraphs and segues.

Something I learned this morning: you can't put 40 nickel in a CTA machine. At least, not at once. They only let you put in 20 coins at a time, for some infuriatingly obscure reason. Then you have to buy the card with your $1 in nickels on it, put it in again, and add-value another 20 nickel. You also have to complain loudly in order for a CTA worker to even half-ass explain this to you. (Hey, that turned out to be a paragaph after all.)

Something that amazed me this morning involved none other than Laura Dern.

I wish I had more earrings. Dangly ones. And cheekbones against which to display them. That is all.

Ooo, this just in! Meghan's Matt just coded something PHENOMENALLY cool: the TWOP One Pager.
