Month: October 2010

I do not understand this ad campaign.  Why will Svedka win best vodka in 2033? Does it suck now, and it will take that long for them to get it right? And how do they know that anyway? And why should we care about it now? Why do robots like Svedka–is it really some kind of oil or mechanical lubricant that’s good for robots?  Speaking of robots, do they need to have big tits?

I just don’t get the whole thing.

my friend and former coworker Claire came to work today with her dog, Pooka.  Pooka is a mini goldendoodle and is really the perfect size dog. Small enough to be manageable, but big enough to clearly be a Dog, and not a little yappy ball of fur. And very sweet.

went over a friend’s house today to drop off something I’d borrowed. unfortunately she wasn’t home, but I took a moment to look at the assorted fall decorations on her porch, including these somewhat dismembered bunnies. with pumpkin.

there’s a cute shot from Doug’s and my reception of Jeff and Rachel sharing a bowl of ice cream on the dance floor. At Rachel and Fred’s wedding, Jeff decided the episode was worth repeating.

sorry, Japan. I’ve got my own yard to deal with.

here’s another one for the “boy, my job is weird” gallery.

I’ve painted my tongue with food coloring and am counting the taste buds. Naturally.

got my travel shots for our trip to Costa Rica. While I was at it, got a flu shot too.

some little girl out there is missing a shoe. and I bet her parents aren’t too pleased.

BONUS PICTURE
pretty sky tonight. taken from my car, so it’s a bit blurry, but still pretty.

I had a facial today. I think I actually dozed off at one point.

So back in July, Jeff and I went on an Adventure of Mystery and Danger and Stuff. We found out later that we were the winners in the photo contest (which we didn’t even know was happening). The prize? Our own private Adventure! We of course had no idea what it was, but after lots of back and forth emails with the organizer, it was finally scheduled for today–a lesson at a rock climbing gym. It was tons of fun, though I suspect we’ll both be a bit sore tomorrow.
