Month: December 2009

the rats that I buy for the snake at work come under the label “Gourmet Rodent.” Which is funny enough. But the little logo that depicts the rat and snake as good buddies is just fantastic.

There’s a battle that’s been going on at work for some time now. It’s pretty much set between two offices, but a lot of us are watching it intently. We all have ideas on how it will turn out. It’s…

GIANT SHARK BABY VS. NINJA DUCK BUNNY!

Literally set on the wall between the cubicles of our health/fitness educator and our early childhood educator, I’m not even sure how it started. You can see Plastic Boy has already been decapitated. But the battle rages on…

it’s eerie enough when the city is foggy and the buildings are shrouded in mist. but tonight, my eye was drawn to the glow on top of the smaller building here; it looks like there’s a spaceship parked on the roof…

It’s weird to be voting in December, but today was the special primary to decide who will be our new senator. As of 6:00pm, only about 10% of Mass. residents have voted. I suppose the Democrat candidates are all pretty similar, but hopefully when it’s time to actually choose someone, there will be a better turnout.

My gym changed their class schedule to one that doesn’t work for me at all, so I’m off to a new one. This place is insanely huge, but it has a ton of different classes at lots of convenient times, which is what I need.

not pictured:  pool, hot tub, indoor track, and lots more other random stuff

We picked up the first share of meat from the CSA today.  When you do this, you arrive at this field and there are little coolers lined up on the ground. You have to walk among them to find the one with your name on it. Off to the side are boxes with assorted parts (like livers and tongues, which we are totally buying next time) and eggs, which we did buy today.

oh look it’s snowing. I guess winter’s really coming.

(and yes, I refuse to accept that freakish October snowfall as part of my reality.)

I can’t believe it took me 338 days into this project to finally take a picture of the Milk Bottle. Did you know that if it were real, it could hold 58,000 gallons of milk? That’s a lot of cows.

At the end of a meeting today, Anthony (left) and Paul pulled out their phones and starting having a light saber battle; they’ve both got the app that reproduces the classic sound.

Naturally, after I told Doug about this, he had to go and download the app himself.

I realized today that I have taken pictures of the snake and the lizard at work, but none of the turtles. When I came into the turtle room today, there was Castor, posing on top of the log, as though he had had the very same thought.
