So Beavers is good?  I was kinda put off by the name.  I was gonna go there one time, but we arrived too late and they were closed. 

It's right around the corner from this.  Or rather, around the corner from where this used to be.

Now that Beaver's has finally settled on a chef (three went through the place in the first year), they're pretty good.  Overpriced by about 20%, but definitely worth it.  Good desserts and drinks, too.

Looks like I'm going to be taking my Developmental Psychology final. Damn.

It bothers me so much that getting mediocre grades on the homework assignments can screw up my final grade this much. BOO.
I guess I should have learned that this would happen at some point in high school, though.

Today St Louis finally remembered that it is supposed to be winter, and suddenly it is grey and cold as shit and windy and snowing. YEAH.

It is so windy that my house is creaking, and if you sit next to a window you can feel the wind.

I like that now that it is 20 degrees, my roommate freaked out and turned the heat up to 70.

but who's weedmaster P and who's joanna

Man, yesterday our high was6, today 20 and tomorrow 30.  The main thing about this is that I also realized our windows are basically nothing.  If you sit by them it is so cold.

We had an auction last night to benefit the Purple Pig fund (for crippled children in need mobile at home rehab equipment and staff) and I went ahead and bid on an item because...
I won.

Way to go.  And also thanks for the link; I had not seen that cache of vintage Onstad before!

It was -22F this morning when I walked the dog.  I took him to the spot where he likes to poop and said "Okay, poop now."  And he did, on cue.  It is adorable and a little heart breaking to watch a shivering dog hunched in poo-posture, all looking over at you with a terribly apologetic look.  Then, using the little baggy to clean up, the warmth of the poop through the bag as I pick it up is like a disgusting little hand warmer.

Got the plane and hotels all set now too. This is what's going to toodle us about the islands.

Take an early morning walk around a few blocks to clear my head because I was drinking heavily and sorting out the world's problems with my friends last night in a hostel in Beijing. I spent like 100 yuan on beer which would upset me more but that's like 17 bucks or so. Sorry I didn't drunk post.

Normally I'd make some sassy reply to all those winter posts about the really bad winter last year where I had to put on a light coat for a couple of days but turns out it gets goddamn cold in china. We missed it snowing though, which was kind of sad.

For the record:
The forbidden city isn't exactly huge when you objectively think about how big the buildings are but it is somehow built to such a scale that it just dwarfs you and makes you feel very small indeed.
The great wall will make your mind explode every time you walk over a new ridge and see more breath-taking scenery, and the postcard sellers get bored with following you after about an hour or two.
Tianamen square really ain't all that, though Mao's body does look suspiciously waxy.

We leave for 'nam tomorrow so today is just going to be chilling and trying to see last minute stuff, including a crazy movie we've been seeing trailers for everywhere.

Final thought: How the hell did this civilisation get so far without realising how essential it is to have coffee shops that open early. Like, before 10.

I entered the contest to name that boat.  After I submitted my entry, my mom informed me it was unintentionally morbid. 

[bluemoon72]

If you tell me your name I will refer to it as such the whole trip.

Loudly and in crowds.

I am that kind of guy.

Depths of the Sea.  Didn't really think of the sinking connotations.  Whoops.

[jaydub]

Considering its a floating bacchanal, maybe Depths of Depravity would have worked too.  Ad campaign would have an angle on the "Happens in Vegas / Stays in Vegas" meme.  Maybe, "who could blame you for gluttony when you're in the Depths of Depravity".

oh man, it hurts, doesn't it.

it hurts to see me posting something cute on your ex-girlfriend's facebook wall. Doesn't that suck. Doesn't that suck when someone posts cutesy things on the wall of the girl you still like. The girl whose facebook wall you still post weird, I-want-to-date-you things on.

I'm sure it sucks for you, but it makes you look kind of lame when you make a whiny comment on one of my posts being all, "gag, cute couple alert, this should not be allowed."

...it does make me feel kind of mean, though, because I am uncomfortable with RUBBING YOUR FACE IN IT, DICKWAD.

Be kind of disappointed I didn't go into the office today: http://www.abc2news.com/news/local/story/Cab-Hits-Building-Overnight/42_-cPLQuE-5LbNgsNew9w.cspx?rss=702

[jaydub]

How did it happen?  Because cabbies always need to talk with their hands and look you in the eye while stating their opinions, that's how.

What is really impressive is that if you look on google street view the dude had to drive up 5 stairs and he still had enough momentum to do a whole lot of damage: http://tiA-CAPrl.com/y9fp6uc
