    @drkknits Notre Dame doesn’t have a Greek system. We’re totes above that. So you’ll have to look it up: http://t.co/4VF44B3T6G 🙂


    @gilmae I missed the last one. Got all the rest.


    @chrisgander It’s just the straw the broke the camel’s back. Too many messaging platforms. I get pinged on SMS/iMessage/email/Kik/Twitter…


    @chrisgander I refuse to install another one. Just refuse. IT’S TOO MANY. TOO MANY WALLED GARDENS. JUST EMAIL ME, PEOPLE.


    @mvizdos I think that actually is the only way. I’m nearly there, I tell you.


    Today I learned that one of my great-grandmothers was named “Arizona.” For real. That’s pretty cool.


    @halcrawford @gilmae I honestly just made educated guesses on those. Tinnies I went latest, on the basis that Australia got everything late.


    @TheAdamBub Wait. Was it just one or a case?!


    @TheAdamBub I really need to become better friends with all you Fix people. You get way cooler stuff than we do in Tech. 🙂

    In honour of this Change.org petition – https://www.change.org/p/archdiocese-of-philadelphia-stop-gender-discrimination-and-allow-girls-to-play-football (thanks Bridget McCullough) – I was inspired to scan our Weasel Football photo from senior year. Let’s go nuts tagging all the PW girls!



  • Whole30: Day 15

    Breakfast: Leftover steak, okra, and pumpkin; black coffee
    Lunch: Grilled fish and beef, green beans, salad
    Dinner: Herb-crusted lamb skewers with Dijon, grilled zucchini, salad

    For the lamb, I couldn’t be bothered actually getting out the skewers. I used my ridged grill pan on the stove to grill the eggplant, and then I just chucked all the lamb bits on that afterwards. Worked great.
