Best Week Ever 14: Blizzards, Espresso, and the (sort of) end of law school

December 13, 2010

The week began quietly enough – I became an espresso snob, creeped the boyfriend out with my mouse catching, and attended my last formal law school class.

And then the “Minneapolis Blizzard of 2010” came.

Sigh.

The snow was so bad that the Minneapolis Metrodome collapsed. My friend Krämer moaned that Minneapolis only makes national news when something collapses, but I reminded him that we are also famous for Prince and recounts.

I completely cleared and salted my building’s sidewalks on Saturday, but everything was re-buried by Sunday morning. Apparently at least one tenant thought I that I had not shoveled at all:

Halvers wasn’t amused by the note.

The long road home

December 3, 2010

Let’s just say it took a long time to get home.

I had a suit on today because of a tax clinic meeting. I still had this suit on when I left work, so there I am, tie and loafers, excavating the car with snow flying everywhere.

Phone book Hoarder

Now, I’m sure this is just a guy delivering phone books:

But I see a ton of junked-up cars in my neighborhood which remind me of the people on A&E’s Hoarders show.

Best Week Ever 12: Dog Days

November 28, 2010

It is Saturday night and my car glides through traffic on 494. Whip my Hair is on the radio and I am excited about tonight’s date. Things are awesome.

The awesomeness ends approximately 15 minutes later when I open my apartment door and get smacked by the smell of rotten eggs. Harley is sick and yarked everywhere.

I manage to clean up the copious amounts of yolk-like vomit, take the dogs out, drain the building boiler, and get dressed within 25 minutes. I am not going to be late for this date, dammit!

So of course, when I open the door to leave, I hear “BLARRG!”

Breaking point

November 17, 2010

There’s usually a moment on my dog walks where I almost hang Harley in an attempt to prevent him from eating goose poop.

Ick.

Today I tried a new tactic: the epic flip-out. And it worked! Harley dove for a piece of goose crap and violence ensued.¹ I try not to get animal abuse-y, especially in public, but it was totally worth it because Harley wouldn’t even look at the poop after that.

I took them on a second walk around lake Calhoun this evening and had no issues. Great success. And yes, I plan on doing the same thing if my future children even get NEAR goose crap. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.
