I shouldn’t be writing this at work, but I found these two images today and liked them. The first I saw as a sign, and then had to go buy a chai latte. (Cal, please refrain from saying your “Thanks a latte” joke). It is the little box of characters one must fill out to afirm to Google you’re not some spam bot, but a real person who simply makes an ungodly number of searches from the same IP address.
Then there was a pony running across my google search box!
I just wrote an entire post and then Wordpress deleted it. Bastards. Here is a short rehash: Cal
is in Glasgow for his two week break. We just moved last saturday and I am living alone in a flat
with no internet, no phone, and few lamps. I am thrilled to be living near the library. My best friend RIta was here for the weekend before she goes on a training program at Oxford - I am so gratefull for her help. Cal’s friend Andy offered to drive our van, our very large van for which I have a license but no experience driving on the left side of the street and Cal has no license. I am going to Glasgow on Thursday night and Cal’s parents are having an engagement party for us on Saturday night (yay!).
Notting Hill House - I’d look good in this one wouldn’t i?
Cal has said that we are going to be like this on Saturday moving. My best friend Rita will be my C3Po, coming all the way from beautiful NJ. Given that Cal has in the past, moved me in and out of my nyc apartment, he knows how erm…. ruffled my little down feathers can get at the sight of other people handeling all of my posessions. For this reason, me and rita wont be around when he and his friend andy load all the boxes into the van.
On the plus side, I saw Mama Mia with Katie and it was fun. I felt bad for the donkey that had to pull the main character up the mountain to her wedding chapel.
Have you seen this show The West Wing? I’m in love with Bradley Whitford aka. “Josh” on the show. Sadly, the unofficial fan site hasn’t been updated since
Why hello Mr. Whitford...
September 2005. I prefer him in Studio 60 but he looks a bit younger here, he has that adorable “I’ve been surrounded by nerds my whole life” persona (Wesleyan graduate) that lends so well to the 2 characters I’ve ever seen him play. He has 3 kids and is married (I confirmed he’s not divorced), so I guess my changes of getting with him are close to nil. Plus, he lives in LA and I’m in London.
My Brad & his wife, actor Jane Kaczmarek, in a Chrysler commercial with their 3 little brats in the background. He'd look much better with me in a 911.
Today, I have watched 10 episodes of the first season:
10 episodes x 45 min = 450 min/60 min = 7 hr, 30 min.
Yes, that means I did nothing else. Except order Chinese for dinner, and try to walk to a Diner for lunch (it started raining, I had to turn back). Oh, and I’ve browsed at least a couple hundred wordpress themes on various sites. I can’t stand it when they aren’t free. Or when the delivery man wants me to take the lift all the way downstairs to pick up my food. Such nerve!
At work today a copy writer received a letter from a writer who has “written copy for a variety of mediums”. The last sentence asked “Is there copy writing opportunities available at your company?” I swear, people are so stupid.
This reminds me of the time I applied to Bates College in Maine (thank God I didn’t get in, I would have died of boredom), and wrote “I am passionate about political issues, from ANWAR to etc…” . I mean to write about the Artic National Wildlife Resucue, otherwise known as “ANWR”. Ooops…
I ponder the dragon fruit, or should I say, the "Pitaya" or "火龍果/火龙果" (your guess on pronunciation is as good as mine!)
I found this Dragon Fruit or “Pitaya” in Tesco’s in Canary Wharf, and it was pretty enough to ignore the £1.79 pricetag. Apparently the fruit grows on a cactus like tree in dry tropical climates; Vietnam produces 30 tons of the fruit each year. And they also come in yellow. They are origionally from Mexico. And taste like a watered down kiwi. The seeds are so small you don’t even notice them. In conclusion, me and Cal decided it was interesting to try, but not worth £1.79 on a regular basis.

This is a picture of the rainbow I saw from our balcony tonight. Naturally, it cannot be rotated becuase PCs stink (which is what i’m trying to work off of right now). and for some reason, stupid ass wordpress is making all my text look like a link.
