I got The Promise box set for my birthday. And from now on, I think I'm going to play Badlands every morning before work (assuming everyone in my house is awake).

Kinda crappy outside, huh

Yeah, just wait until it gets below freezing tonight. Then we'll see who's laughing.

It's -2 here, btw.

the smoother smooth refers to these conditions (cold, rain, wind, gloom) as "dog weather", her shorthand for "I wouldn't send a dog out on a (day or) night like this"

she has a bunch of little idiosyncratic terms like this

There's a "notify me" function? News to me.

oh my yes. Next time you post, note your checkbox options below the box in which you enter your message. The notify me box is the last of the lot.

I check it by accident all the time when posting from my iPhone. Let me tell you, it's really fucking annoying.

yeah. scary hot.

and thus intimidating, keeping me from approaching them with any kind of self-confidence

i am meeting one who is way smarter than me tomorrow. it's a bit scary, but hopefully i won't make a fool of myself

also, i went to a bball school. its not fun when they start to suck

The real problem with successful women is they're rarely attracted to slackers who live in mom's basement.

Best bang for the buck on coffee comes from Trader Joe's.

The "I want to eat Chipotle" vs. "I don't want to outside in this crap" debate is probably going to be the most interesting part of my day

by **PrattRules** » Wed Dec 01, 2010 14:37:07

I told myself I am definitely going to Chipotle about eight months ago, and I still never went. The closest one to me is on the Main Line though, which is 30 minutes away and right next to Five Guys. So I'd probably go there instead. Still, I need to make this happen.

They put a new one at 16th and Walnut that I'm calling Hipotle because they played MGMT and LCD Soundsystem the first time I went in there. It's like the Urban Outfitters of Tex-Mex.

I guess with Billy Mays gone, Chipoltaway sales have fallen off

prudent ideas from one of the richest states in the union:

Camden will lay off nearly half of its police officers and a third of its firefighters, while eliminating positions in every other city office, according to a layoff plan approved Tuesday by the state.

The 383 layoffs represent about a quarter of the city's workforce and touch all corners of city government - from 15 courtroom positions to 20 police dispatchers to all four animal-control officers.

The elimination of 180 positions from a 373-member force means more bad news for a poor, violent city that has seen 37 homicides this year. A national survey recently named Camden the second-most dangerous in the United States, although police officials have pointed to some recent reductions in crime.

Camden appears to be in a worse predicament than Newark, which laid off 167 of its 1,034 police officers this week after negotiations broke down between their union and the city. Cities and towns around New Jersey are struggling this year following cuts in state aid, with layoffs in public safety increasingly common.

The Camden City Council will vote on its layoff plan on Thursday, and those affected will be notified by Friday. The layoffs would take effect Jan. 18.

personally, i blame the police officers. pricks wanting to get paid for putting their lives on the line.
