Quotation Marks!

theyellowhobbitA submission I sent in to the "Blog" of "Unnecessary" Quotation Marks made it in!

I spotted this in July or August, when I was studying in Cabot Science Library with dsKC for our Greek class of doom. I had been looking forever for something I could submit, but in general people in Cambridge know how to punctuate, which is probably a good thing. (Or at least the people who make signs know how to punctuate.) I'm not sure why the sign-maker here felt the need to put quotation marks on it, but I was very amused.
Also, I finished the Scarf of Awesome on Friday afternoon, and gave it to dsKC, just in time for the freezing cold weather. Then I realized my llama scarf isn't warm enough. So I need to make myself a bigger and better scarf, though not as ridiculous as the Scarf of Awesome, since then it would take forever and be really heavy. And two people with the same scarf (even in differently colored yarn) would look silly, especially if we wore them at the same time.
I was also thinking of starting a sweater, though I'm kinda afraid to do that. Also I need to finish the puppet Johns for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
currentlee. Also I need to make some things that will be sent across the ocean to Europe, to a place colder than here (I think). Though actually both people kinda know what they're getting already, so I suppose I could be less vague, but I don't feel like it.
And I'm sick and tired. I survived my concert today, but rehearsal afterwards killed my voice. Also the machine at Government Center ate my monthly T pass. So I called them and I need to call tomorrow but they're either refunding it or sending me a new one. I'm kinda hoping for the refund, since I'd be making money. There are only 13 days left in October, and some of them are Shabbat or Chag, and thus I'm probably riding the bus less than 60$ worth of fares. Also, I paid slightly less than that with the discount I got from ordering them through the Divinity School. But a new pass also works, though I'll be annoyed if it takes forever to get it. That's the other advantage of the refund- it doesn't matter whether or not I get it immediately.
Maybe I should nap. Or eat dinner. Meep.
