It has been a good reminder about how prickly politicized college kids get once they know everyone elses mind. We all wish Ibram well but we can't change her beliefs about us.

I would rather laugh with Sheldon than argue with Ibs.

Now more photos please

Beautiful Nirvana.

@ibs

My understanding is that you're a middle of the road kind of guy. Which, in my limited experience, doesn't call for a shift in pronouns.

So, if you're going to object to Sheldon as binarist, why did you also object to Lola's use of the 'he' pronoun? Isn't that binarist too?

Your life and lifestyle are plenty complicated. There's no need to get snippy if we don't have it all down yet.

And the classy response to an unwanted advance is to either ignore it or to say "thanks, but no thanks." This is true no matter where you fit on the gender bar.

My response of "Buy me a drink and I'll think about it" puts me definitely outside the boundaries of classy.

I personally don't give a fuck if you are a male, female, or whatever. I care more about what type of person you are.

Stormieweather · 02-06-2012, 10:11 PM

Me too, Sarge!

Walked over to the old Pension Building at lunch. Some of the corners of the place were completely deserted. Maybe I should move in.

omg...what IS that building? I love the doors, and the big mirror reminds me of the one in the old hotel here.

I wanted to move into the old hotel, too. Even when the walls were crumbling and dead pigeons were everywhere. I wanted the corner room with the high ceiling and the rounded corner windows.

It's a building the government didn't have any use for, so they let the National Building Museum use it to house (boring and expensive) exhibits. It's also used for events all the time. They were setting up for one today. You can just wander around the parts that don't have exhibits in them. You have to pay for those. And there's a really cool museum store there.

It's popular with parents of little kids. See the girls doing cartwheels here? It's a heated space where the kids can go to get out of the house.

Love that building! I remember having a great time sketching there with my studio class, back in college.
