• At the ita city lights 2008 awards gala. Not at sexy as sxsw but I still expect some crazy drunken action. #
• Note to self: when having about 500 males to a liquor drenched reception provide more than 2 urinals and 2 stalls. #
• C’mon people: keep your acceptance speeches short. And moreover keep your award introductions short. In fact, .. Holy shit we just won!!! #
• @scootergirl yeah right? holy shit! so as you can imagine we were pretty subdued about the whole thing very dignified as if we expected it. #
• Additional awesomeness: busting out a little early to get home at a decent hour, at station I run into a 50 something couple making out.nice #
• @ScooterGirl oddly, the price for first place was a key to every private, ultra deluxe men’s room in the city. sorry. oh and a plaque. #
• As if the night weren’t awesome enough: another free ride on metra. The guy didn’t even glance my way. Must have invisibility to conductors. #
• Ok it happened: I forgot to put my cup under the keurig coffee maker this am. Coffee not quite everywher I guess I’m ready for the weekend. #
• End of parenthood, week 2. The Critter has finally gained some decent weight – 17oz in 6 days – and we’re likely venturing out for dinner. #
• @popejephei the critter is named after the guy in jason and the arg who always had a gourmet meal in front of him but could never eat it. #
• Oh and I didn’t get the free rise on metra. These older conductors are damn thorough. #

No, I’m talking about something as simple as easting the fish at last night’s ITA awards Gala.  (We won!) (Sidenote: who serves fish at a banquet for 700 people??)

I’m talking about The Critter.  Will I be brave enough to be logic like this writer with her 9 year old son in NYC.  He took it home alone.  As an adventure.  With her approval.

A great article.  I just hope I remember it when the time comes.
