Month: March 2006

The nice weather is getting our neighborhood blooming. I can’t see the pollen and spores but I can feel them doing their evil deeds. It could be worse, just a simple cough. Maybe once every couple of minutes, all the time, around the clock. Sleep has been escaping me.

I’m trying to use my waking hours either continually cruising the internet or watching tv, all in hopes of exhausting my mind. Its not working. Come Thursday, I’ll be working 9 days straight. I wish I could get some rest before those days.

I’ll try to post something worth reading while I’m up.

When you see the videos, you’ll want to want a Hidden Passageway of your own.

It’s just a shame that the Batman Shakespeare Bust Switch is no longer being made.

… but, who are you, and why would I want to spend Sunday with you?

In other words, today is the day we let the populist riffraff (with nice clothes) mingle with us. I think I’ll watch Jon Stewart do his thing and hang with my wife at home. Thanks, though for your thoughtful bulk email.

Weirdness, it’s all around.

A few days after Valentines day I ran up the stairs heading towards the 3rd floor laundry room of our apartment building. At the top of the stairs was this collection of items…

Leather jacket
stuffed rose (just like a stuffed animal)
woman’s bracelet
creative loafing
and a paperback book

On closer examination, the book turns out to be the “South Beach Diet”.

It’s like a presentation that CSI teachers would use to test their students, what can be deduced by looking at the items left at the top of the stairs. Caroline’s deduction was that a breakup had taken place and that items had been chucked out of the apartment. My take on the situation was that a stakeout had taken place, and the object of ones affection had not come up the stairs. The reading material and the leftover token of affection is what seals it for me.

Second strange apartment collection #2, this time right outside our door…

Our hallway is taking on the appearance of a rather nice thrift store. A coffee table, with a collection of small kitchen appliances appeared a little while ago. This evening, new items were added to the small shelf unit that had always lived out there. Tonight’s finds: coffee pot, a bread maker and a fondue set. We cherry picked the fondue set. It’s not as exciting as the strangely large and appealing bird cage that we grabbed and brought inside.

Every day is an opening day and our hallway is adding new stock all the time.

Lastly, for those with a love of breath-takingly bad taste, I offer up this rust-colored, suede covered bedroom set, with built-in lights, and mirror-covered tops. It is in amazingly good shape and the best part is the bed’s built-in AM/FM radio. Could be 8-track, but I can’t be sure.

The bed and dresser were found at 14th Street Antiques (Google Map).

Some time ago I got rid of my sidelinks while trying to see if my site would look better on Explorer. No such luck and I have yet to reset the links.

You all are loved and will be linked to again.

Sometime.
