Stuff I tried (all cold) -
- raw green bean salad - pretty good
- flax crackers - delicious and fluffy / crispy
- some bizarre salad with chunks of tempeh and shreds of purple cabbage and carrots - fantastic
- "chicken" and rice - "chicken" was fantastic, rice was a bit underdone... raw foods and all I guess
- kale salad - very good, and the kale was notably not fibrous for being raw... more like parsley
- "dragon broccoli" or some such - mildly spicy in an unusual way, and excellent peanutty sauce
Bottom line - looks like it would be quick getting in and out, a little bit pricier than the subway or PHI options but not ridiculous, and definitely worth it if you're in the mood for something green or unusual. I didn't check out the produce prices, but it might be a good place to grab a banana on the way to work.

He's there year-round, except national holidays. He was the middle truck today, but they're all Indian... I believe his name is Vinay?
Thanks to John for the tipoff... but dude, you could have clued us in sooner.

Well, not quite. I woke up looking at the boy as I did a controlled dive-and-roll over his inert body. He was saying, "Where are you going? Wait! Come back! Where are you going?" Then I dashed (on my hands and knees) across the bedroom floor and out into the hall. I swear I could see the live wire that was falling from the ceiling, about to hit the back of my leg.
I ended up in the living room, huddled against the lamp table. The boy came right after me and tackled me, and held me there until I stopped shaking. Then we got up to go back to bed. This is when I realized I had a killer leg cramp, which must have been my "live wire." I also got a third-degree rugburn on my knee, which is still extremely painful.
Once I collapsed back into my nest, I started giggling and couldn't stop. The boy said something about my "harrowing escape," and every time I think about that, I get another laugh attack. Well, that's one way to thwart a depressive slide...

I don't know what possessed you to sit down at a library computer, plug in headphones, and start brushing your teeth. I don't care that you're not actually using paste or spitting, and I wouldn't care if the soothing bristly noises are the only thing that could keep the voices from making you kiiiiillllllll. I am having none of it.
Sincerely,
Library (not dental) Assistant

There were a few stupid drunk sorority chicks bouncing around into us. At one point, one of them hopped up onto the recycling box and peed into it, then announced to everyone who passed that she'd peed in it. And then all of them were hanging around it and pushing each other into it and whatnot. And I'm pretty sure it was still damp. Okay, girls. It takes a lot to get aggravated with drunk college students doing stupid things, as it was not that long ago that I was one. But I think you may have crossed a line at some point last night.
Other than that it was pretty fun. I'm impressed with how funky that yinzer science-nerd crowd can get. I mean, sure, they were throwing devil horns like we were actually seeing Metallica, and the Bob Dylan cover was probably the biggest crowd-pleaser. And when Black Thought, the MC, shouted "Everybody say, word up!" everybody was just pretty confused. But a lot of people really got into ?uestlove's glowstick drum solo, and by the end the audience whole audience was clapping along. In rhythm, even.
Overheard deep in the crowd -
hippie chick - "Why did you bring the bubbles?"
hipster dude - "To greet them."

I have this stupid power key on my keyboard, which automatically shuts the whole computer down when pressed. And it doesn't ask you if you're sure, and it's non-reversible. The damn thing's right next to the escape key, and I keep hitting it by accident.
Oh, you're in the middle of a long email you haven't saved? That's a shame. You've browsed and browsed, and hey look! There's the exact thing you were looking for. Too bad you didn't bookmark it. You've finally stopped getting your ass handed to you, and you're taking the fight to the Persians? You better hope you can do it twice.
I also have sleep and wake buttons down by the number pad, and I've never hit those by accident. But, you know, if I did, I could just hit it again and everything would be fine. Great freakin' layout choices, GE.
