i went to Kobo's this morning on my break, grabbing coffee and bagels for everyone. I was loaded up on the way back, with a huge coffee in one hand, newspapers under my arm, two bags of bagels in my right hand. Somehow, i managed to squeeze the coffee a little too tight, and the lid popped off, and i dropped the cup, shooting coffee all over my ( Read more... )

my supervisor just whipped out a calendar of december and said "i'm going to be gone for the week of christmas" (the 25th-29th) and laughed and my co-worker said she was too, and they laugh and say that it's first come first serve.

I passed a woman yesterday, downtown. She was immaculately dressed, businessy and walking with purpose. Everything about her was in perfect order, except this large lock of hair that was blown vertical by the wind.

Elise tried to do a right turn ( Read more... )

last night i dreamt that I was hurting someone I care about, and couldn't stop. I woke up and realized that might be true.

I found a google-y eyeball in the corner of my room, and it fit perfectly over the little peekhole in my door.

i woke up early on accident today. it was really too bad. I tried to pretend that I wasn't awake, but then I got bored and got up. Aimee, I need some of your sleeping skills!!! Yesterday morning this homeless guy decided that our house was in need of a little salvation, so he preached the bible to us, at the top of his lungs, from the street. ( Read more... )

I feel like the number of Awesome People Sightings in my life has dramatically increased. This morning, at Vivace, a man sat in front of his laptop, reading something so intently that his nose was an inch from the screen, and his head slid back and forth like a typewriter as he read each line ( Read more... )
