My email to CTA about closing Jarvis, Thorndale...
If you missed the links going around Twitter in Chicago this morning, the CTA is proposing closing Jarvis, Thorndale and Lawrence. Below is the email that I sent to feedback@transitchicago.com about Lawrence and Thorndale. I have no experience living near or using Jarvis, so I could only write about Thorndale and Lawrence.
I’ve read this morning about the proposed closure of Thorndale,...
dress codes
I just double checked the dress code for a place where I’m getting drinks with a guy in a couple weeks and I’m pretty excited for an excuse to dress up on a school night.
“Ladies shall wear shirts or blouses with tailored skirts or slacks and appropriate footwear. Blue jeans, shorts, tee shirts and athletic shoes are not appropriate. “

fuckyeahirodemybike:
Dear Fashion and Cycling Industries,
I am a fat woman who rides a bike. I want to ride it all year round. I want technical clothes made for a woman’s body in my size. I want tights and leggings that I can layer with crotches that don’t hang four inches too low and without seams that rub one mile…
Ok… also I’m reblogging this. Then I’m done...

The girl with the blog was a very sad girl. It wasn’t always that way. In the beginning she started a blog to write about bicycles. But soon she began to write bits about herself into the posts about bicycles and soon after that the posts she made to the blog were posts about herself with bits…

Okay, Cupid
If (for a first date/meeting) I suggest a bike ride and hot chocolate and you counter-offer with grabbing a bottle of vodka and hanging out, then I’m going to say no.
thirtysomethingsingledom-deacti asked: I won't be able to meet up with you ladies tonight because of work. Bummed. Hope there's another opportunity sometime soon! Good luck tonight...it was a breeze (about a dozen waist up shots in different standing poses, so perhaps no need to fret about stockings!)

– Taking it One Book at a Time: Fall into Winter - By Eden Baylee
It’s the topic of an erotic novella that came up in my Google Alerts, but it could be my life. I always get distracted from finishing my novel and I have, in fact, gone off to a cabin in the woods to write.

I feel like I’m getting ready for a really disappointing date.
Someone should meet me for a drink after this thing…

Anybody have any idea why my queue is not posting...
Because tumblr’s queue sucks lately. I wish there was another reason.
tomorrow
fuckyeahirodemybike:
Tomorrow evening I’ve got a photo shoot for a singles feature in a local magazine. My dating profile is all about riding bikes AND tomorrow is Winter Bike to Work Day.
My dress (and lack of pants) won’t mix well with the windchill, but maybe I should suck it up and ride in my dress tomorrow to make a point.
Thoughts?
