So after an hour long battle with the innernet, I am finally back online. In addition to fighting with the innernet, I have been struggling to get Microsoft Word to function properly. Ever since I installed all of these new fonts on this here Mac, everything has been acting very flinky. Firefox is slow. Mail won’t open or close properly. Finder is forgetting how to do its job. Etcetera, etcetera. Stupid fonts. I think I’ve got the problem sussed out via Font Book, but we shall see.

Today is a day of eating. I’ve got to eat at at least two restaurants this weekend in order to cover my ass in the article writing department, so that I can go to Philly and convince Amy Sedaris to be in my Daily Photo. That said, I have already made arrangements with Word to Me and Teacher Sis for lunch and dinner plans. Hopefully, I will be back in time this evening to head over to White Chocolate’s for game night. I think there might be a few rounds of Munchkin happening and I don’t want to miss out on that adventure.

Speaking of adventures, I’m sure you are wondering about today’s title. Well, last night, Pancake Land gave me my “Stripper Name” via some quiz thing on the Facebook. Apparently, if I were a stripper my name would be Chesty Glitzridge. I guess that I would have to be a female stripper for this name to make sense. I don’t think the Chippendales usually employ people going by the name Chesty. I think my S.A.N.D. moniker, Dick Ribbons, would be appropriate for that line of work.

In addition to my new name, I also received years 4-7 of Harry Potter in the mail yesterday. Hooray for nerdy teen fiction! My plan for the Philly trip is to read it all. That and to make lots of money for Le Duke. In addition to trying to convince Amy Sedaris to be in a photo with me and eating chicken pot pies at Monk’s, my itinerary is filling up quickly. I am looking forward to this trip. I get to see my craft show friends again. Wild Goose Johnny, Nina Bigpants, the Earth and Staters, the New York TAS posse, the Living Terras, the Shedders, all of us back together again just like old times. There are few things better than sitting around with these kids and collectively bitching about how hard life in the craft world is. And don’t forget all of the delicious Reese’s miniatures.

Well, Word to Me just buzzed my pocket to see if I was ready for the first round of food adventures, so I’d better go get some shoes on. More soon. ~SC
