The chap with wings there. Five rounds rapid.
I have a goddamned office Christmas party to go to today and it just weighs on me… All I can think about is being crammed into the boardroom with all the squares that I do my absolute best to avoid the rest of the year. And there’s no dodging it. A mandatory office party. If we blow it off, we’ll be severely punished. Merry Christmas!

My little web design minion, Tyson Tate, has set out on a 350 mile post-graduation bike journey from Davis to San Luis Obispo, CA. Which means nothing to me because I live in a small hole in the ground on the east coast and refuse to accept that there’s a larger world out there.

Actually saw this on the List of the Day blog, though they’ve lifted it from the wonderful Engrish.com. All I know is that I’m going to get a sign like this made and put it on the door to my apartment.
