Boldy new and different

I'm starting to sleep on the other side of the bed now. A new exciting adventure!


Actually, it does feel odd, heh.

Beach view

I was in the Beaches last evening and took a quick foray down to the boardwalk. It was beautiful, as this picture obviously shows. That orange blob in the distance is the Luety lifeguard station. Purdy, eh?

Pompoms

Am I the only one who is distracted while walking down the street by the pompoms on women's winter boots? I keep thinking something is flying off as they walk.I wonder how often they smack some poor dog in the eye as they walk by. They look like fuzzy dice for footwear. Next winter the fashion no doubt will be the same boots but with just the strings that used to hold the pompoms as they get snapped off in car and elevator doors or people start performing personal pompomacide in the privacy of their homes. We can only hope.

Glove blog

The glove blog is up and running!

http://www.greyfence.com/gloves/

Y'all should have been at the launch party. Anyone who was anyone who wore gloves was there. Mayor 'Mitts' Miller, Michael Jackson reminisced about the period where he constantly seemed to be losing a single glove. Who else was there? Hmmm.

mooooooaaaaaan redux

The wailing through the fire speaker still continues. I am now officially insane and have told the giant pink avocado all my secrets.

mooooooaaaaaannnn

Another day of testing the fire alarms here on Dunfield. They have to check the speaker in every suite and so have the firealarm speakers emitting a low (loud) moan constantly. I'm sure they could use this sound as a form of torture. I have a blanket and some papers wedged in front of it in an effort to stop some of sound. I still feel like ratting out my CIA buddies to someone though.

Legal to Lost

I'm in the process of 'acquiring' the first season of Lost. I read an interesting article in The Star about the mysteries of this series and it has me intrigued. I kind of OD'd on Boston Legal (yes, too much Shatner) and am looking for something to replace it for my zone out breaks for a while.

Red alert.

I saw something interesting when I went out to get a sub for lunch. There was a guy in the elevator who was wearing a red ball cap (backwards, natch). He was standing directly under one of the halogen lights which reflected off his hat and created a bright red band all around the interior of the elevator. It was amazingly bright! Every time he moved his head it would undulate and flash along the wall. It reminded me of the red alert indicators on the Enterprise in Next Generation.


And, yes, all of life is nothing more than a steady stream of Star Trek references.

Yummy

Just discovered that they sell double salt licorice at the candy store on the corner. This is the kind of thing that you either love and can't get enough of or you spit out into the tip jar at the check out.




It's a bad, bad thing that we discovered this...

major prize

Here is the prize awarded to the members of the second place team at the pool league. A nice little shot glass. Someone won a pool cue! (Yes, deservedly, but still. ;))

The ticket came back

Apparently my money isn't good enough so they sent back the cheque for my speeding ticket from last month. Actually, the form says that the ociffer didn't file the ticket into the system with in the prescribed time.
