@achewood My bicycle is parked in the living room. A tub of tartar sauce sits open on the counter. Truly, the evidence of a wife being away too long.

If I never post here again, know that I am stupid and my carbon monoxide alarm wasn't just out of batteries.

I replaced the batteries and the damn thing still won't shut up. The company's website says this means it has reached "the end of life" which seems like a pretty sick phrase to use when talking about a life-saving product.

Thought: I am totally into thinking about clothes, but nothing makes me feel more embarrassed than my roommate trying to talk to me about clothes in front of people. He kept using internet clothes lingo and I wanted to shrink into the chair. He called me "trad." I had to pretend to not know what the name for the cool part of my shirt was. I guess most of it is that talking about clothes means talking about things you want to buy. And seriously, is there anything more uncool and yucky than talking about how much the clothes you want cost?

(my new shirt has a sick placket, you guys)

Had the same thing happen with my old carbon monoxide detector once too.  The fire department does free checks for carbon monoxide here, so I had time come in just in case, the next detector we got has a display with numbers to show how much of the gas it's detecting, which is a bit more useful than the old model that just had a read light and screeching sound.  The new one is sitting uselessly unplugged right now though.  The Fabreeze airfreshner sets it off, hubby unplugs it then forgets to put it back up.

Yeah, you have no idea. I wore it to a party that a certain lady was going to be at. At the end of the night I thought "good thing she didn't show up, if she saw this shirt it'd be all over for that guy she is dating."

Big props to Oregon and a big "FUCK YOU" to tobacco based disease.
As a bonus, your back pocket can still get that circular wear pattern toting that snuff around.  Congrats on reducing your chances of ending up like Roger Ebert.

Two of my roommates are dating two girls who are roommates. Today I made an "OKCupid" profile, and it is telling me that the third roommate is my number one match in the metro area. Seriously, internet?

But mostly this website is showing me people I already know.

...and one really cute girl who lives close to me.

This sounds perfect for carpooling to sex, Dan, except that OKCupid is involved which means it will probably end terribly.

OKCupid is like King Midas if King Midas turned everything into runny stool.

...play in a Magic the Gathering draft tournament, ignore certain social and economic facts about the game, and have a good time.

TIG be about to complain that people aren't posting enough and then wonder if that is hypocritical because I keep checking the board without posting anything.

No, on second thought, I posted an AWESOME pug video last night. I am not the problem.

Today I'm gonna plug in my car at a charging station two blocks from my downtown office. It's like I have reserved parking here.

I find the whole concept of plugging in my car to be highly entertaining.

Yeah, I think the verdict on OkCupid is that St Louis is too small for it to work. I did the search mode where it finds "friends" and specified "straight men"-- I only got guys I already know.

Once I figure out the right message to send this really appealing grad student lady, I think I might be done with this.

WELP, apparently I do not understand how this site works and some things which I thought were private are not private. Fuck this.
