Texts from this Week

So we all are very aware of Texts from Last Night, the greatest website ever to bring us random text messages from drunk (hopefully) 20-somethings ~~up to no good~~ on hilarious trajectories through life. Here are some examples:

(774):

just had to sit in the middle of an aisle in stop and shop because we’re too hungover and needed to take a break.

(949):

… They left for 10 minutes and came back with a lobster he’s in the toilet downstairs

(602):

Chapter 6 – how to lose your underwear in chicago

Obviously not as racy as TFLN, and hopefully not as alcohol-induced because a lot of them came during the workday, I decided to showcase some of the random texts, gchats and BBMs I received from my friends this week, because, for whatever reason, they were particularly inspired. Here. We. Go. Area codes may or may not have been changed to protect certain identities.

While some booths contained beautiful furniture, glass fixtures, and jewelry, others were selling baby doll heads and used socks.

McSkillet’s “Wild” Day at the Zoo

No, this is not the title of my future world-famous children’s book. My friend Rebekah (referred to here as McSkillet because she’s very important and well-known), was kind enough to share her zoo-journey with me today via email pics, and I in turn, am kind enough to share them with you. Because they’re awesome. And because the Woodley Park Zoo in Washington, DC might be one of the greatest places on earth. Aside from the Zoo Bar across the street, of course.

Here’s hoping these pics can make up for the closing of my beloved Cafe International on Connecticut Ave NW. I just knew that place couldn’t stay open without my morning brew and muffin. And Phil’s cappuccino with no sugar. Seriously. This kid. Every morning.
