Impulsively Reading Since...

I urge everyone to hop over to my spy request post, even if you have no spies to offer up, and get a preview of what is in store. http://impulsereader.livejournal.com/40144.html?view=329936#t329936 And now, a picture post. Chicago over Labor Day weekend.

I have on offer wrought iron, a funny sign, farmers' market, more wrought iron, Egypt in Chicago, and a new book on Shakespeare. But first, above the cut because it is just that awesome - I give you, years before he had an inferno: Dante's Caterpillar.



I ran across this in the window of what must be a day care or school of some sort and it set me to giggling madly. Potential parents, please learn to anticipate what your child's name will put others in mind of when made possessive and put in front of silly words.

northernwalker and I were jointly swooning over our unreasonable love of wrought iron recently, and I happened to mention that a house on my street has a pretty, pretty red wrought iron fence, and she requested pictures. I just managed to remember on my way home from a walk on Sunday and so left my shopping unattended for a few moments to take some. I then realized that the house right next to it has a pretty, pretty black wrought iron fence as well.

Also - woo to the hoo! - I finally got the second mood theme to upload properly! I've no idea what I was doing wrong, though I think I had a double // when I wanted a single, but that really doesn't explain why some were working but not others, as all the line items were identical. But anyway... as a result, I am now Ecstatic - see above.
