Wore one of my tails into the office today. Strangely enough, nobody seems to have paid much attention.
I also learned today that work is having a costume contest and giving away $250 to the winner. Had I known earlier, I would have seen about borrowing a fursuit or something. Oh well, there's always next year!
Earlier this week, the Philadelphia Phillies baseball team won the 2008 World Series. For those of you not from the USA, it is pretty much our equivalent of The World Cup. This win is our first sports championship in over 20 years, and effectively breaks The Curse of William Penn, which was blamed for our city not winning any championships.
One possible explanation for the curse being lifted was the addition of a 4-inch high statue of William Penn to the top of the Comcast Center when it was completed earlier in the year:
Later today there will be a ticker-tape parade down Broad Street to celebrate the World Series Championship. It will be the first such parade since 1985.
The public transit system is totally packed, too. My train had something like 8 cars on it this morning, when it usually has 4-5 cars. Many people were wearing red on the train. It also took my train nearly twice as long to make it into the city today.
Heading out to the theater later tonight to celebrate my birthday by way of seeing Zack and Miri Make a Porno.
