Suburba-LAME

The suburbs are lame. I don't mind the little towns that kind of accidentally became suburbs as the city grew to meet them, but the places that didn't even exist before five years ago, the covenant protected, security-walled, cul-de sac infested 'burbs where fear and Republicans breed-- LAME.

The recession is LAME.

Practical Rad

The UPS tracking site is rad. You can even make an account and save all the tracking numbers for the things being shipped. So handy. The OCD in me really likes knowing where my packages are each day.

Also rad, political action. Write or call your senators on a regular basis. They write back :) and every once in a while, your cause makes a difference. And then you feel very satisfied.

End of Year Rad

I've been slacking on my lame and rad updates. New Years resolution: be better about that.

RAD!
XM radio, as I have previously stated, is super rad. But I have to give a shout out to the radio I've been streaming at work lately, The Current. It's the Minnesota Public Radio music station and it pretty much rocks my world. Thank you MPR for streaming your RAD station so that I can sit at my cube and hear lovely tunes.

Sales at grocery stores are RAD. Especially buy one, get one free sales. My buddy, Megan, and I split the price of one roast the other day because we got one free. FREE ROAST. So rad. But this whole thing gave me an idea. What if you went to the store, bought everything that was "buy one, get one free" that you knew you would use, and then gave the free one to some soup kitchen or homeless shelter? That way you are still just buying the groceries you really need, and not spending any extra, but you can help out other people, which is pretty much the raddest thing of all. Just an idea...

This blog is rad.

That's pretty good for now.

kind of frightening and lame.

the cops have to do quarterly shoots. i'm not exactly sure that they need to score a certain accuracy in order to carry their guns, or what, but they have to do shoots at the range.
One of my cops did his shoot today and got 100% accuracy. This is not in itself scary, or lame, but...
This same detective keeps accidentally setting reminders on his cell phone and can't figure out how to turn them off. I hear the alarm go off and know that he's going to come to my desk to have me turn it off, because he doesn't know how.
