Looks like the brand Melitta is offering up “personalized European cafe experiences” (I guess meaning they setup a small cafe-like environment) to a few random people in CC. So if you’re interested hit that link. This is only happening thru December 15th.
My lady had her bike stolen tonight in Brooklyn, NY. NYC / Philadelphia / Boston / DC - please keep an eye on your local Craigslist / bike shop for a State Bike, single speed. Green frame, pink rims, pink Oury grips. Just a front brake (lever on right). Brand new rack installed TODAY. sigh.
Please Reblog. Will post photo soon.
4th & South to the Art Museum to home in 15 minutes. Black girl, blue bike. It’s prolly me.
[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.] Excuse Me - Jazmine Sullivan from Love Me Back
I have a confession. I’m a music-hoarder. Frequently I buy/download 5 albums at a time so I often don’t give each a proper listen all the way thru before I’m hooked on one and have set it on repeat for the next few months.
So this week, I’ve been giving Jazmine Sullivan’s album Love Me Back another listen and I’m entirely obsessed with this track entitled “Excuse Me”.
View Larger Okay, so I need a super late pass for this one, but I finally got around to listening to track “My Eyes” by Chill Moody & Cody Kahmar today. All I have to say is, I’m a little mad at myself for not listening to it sooner. I love supporting Philly artists so obviously I had to buy it iTunes. Go spend that buck to get the track; it’s well worth it.
this just so happens to be one of my favorite little hideouts in Philly.

Travel Leisure magazine ranks Phil adelphia as the second dirtiest city in America. Hey Philly, let’s all take the high road this time and not FedEx a bunch of turds to Travel Leisure executive editor Rich Beattie, 1120 Avenue of the Americas, 10th floor, New York, NY 10036, OK? We’re better than that.
Bike Lane Blues of the Day: As we’ve seen, NYC cyclists don’t always respect the rules of the road. But, as New Yorker Casey Neistat makes painfully clear in this PSA, it’s hard to respect the rules when the rules don’t respect you.

I HATE bike lanes. Yes, they’re convenient on super-wide streets or for those scary-drivers who still don’t understand how wide their car is relative to the street, but other than that, drivers seem to just think it’s they’re designated area to stop. It’s ridiculously annoying. Just last week I was riding in a bike lane (which was on the right hand side of a two-way street) when a car ahead of me pulls over into it directly in front of me. As I start to move around him to his left because he had completely stopped, he then started pulling off and screaming at me as if I had any part in his idiotic behavior.
Hey drivers, bike lanes are for BIKES.

An except:
Today I was laid off from the School District of Philadelphia.
Upon hearing the news, I made a quick, distracting joke: “And they didn’t even have the consideration to print the pink slip out on pink paper.”
8:52am and I needed to map out a gameplan for my life, make some decisions for my next career steps, start strategizing for the media campaign our organization needs to roll out in response to the dissolution of public education, and schedule an appointment at the optometrist before my health insurance runs out next month.
That’s all for now. Just thought I’d share.
