ps--i took a quiz to find out what animal i am and apparently this is the result:

You're a Walrus!

A while back, maybe even before you were born, some rock band really
ruined your name for a lot of people. So while you've grown whiskers and tried to
look older and more distinguished, they still ponder you with a strange glint in
their eye. Never mind them, they are the eggmen. You like really cold places and don't
even know what getting a tan from standing in the English rain means! You used to hate
your oversized teeth, but now you've grown to appreciate them. Goo goo
g'joob.

i had a rather nice weekend. worked friday and sunday but in between i went to chicago to attend the

hideout block party

i volunteered at the event last year while i was living in chicago and it was a grand time. this year, the weather was nicer though oddly chilly at times but the sunshine was fantastic and it was nice just to sit around amongst people, drink multiple beers, and listen to live music in the open air.

scott met up with me after my beer ticket selling duties were done. he was wearing a florida shirt and saw another dude wearing a different florida shirt and scott said he thought they should rub their floridas together. i don't know why i'm writing about that but for some reason i still find it funny.
