i'm going to seattle july 21-23 for this conference! just found out they're giving me some monies to go. AND i'm gonna stay at our apt. in seattle that i've never stayed at alone. whoo! anyone want to keep me company?

funny thing at the office today: our kiwi managing editor is introducing a new copy editor to the interns. he says, "this is L, J, and A." then spotting michael around the corner, he says totally deadpan: "and over there is michael...who is wearing a dashiki of some kind." i had to hold in the LOLs. m, a white-ass white boy, really does wear these funky ethnic shirts all the time. too funny.
