lying liars

so at work today, I opened a can of dinosaurs (as one does) and  among them I found these!  These are mammoths! They are not dinosaurs!!! So now I have a herd of mammoths marching across my computer. I am quite indignant over this. I just may write to the manufacturer.

On another note, it strikes me that this is the 3rd consecutive day that I have taken pictures of a collection of colorful objects.

beautiful words

A Japanese artist who does large-scale calligraphy came to work last week for the new year celebration. These are his creations.

(Funny PS…we were asked to stand by our favorite one, and I picked the one that the artist himself liked best. I guess I do have good artistic taste sometimes.)

just in case

I was cleaning out the medicine cabinet the other day, and came across this bottle. When we went to Costa Rica last year, I had spoken to my pulmonologist; I had some concerns about humidity and altitude affecting my respiratory issues. So he wrote a couple prescriptions just in case…I love that the label specifies for use in Costa Rica.

not a Segway

I picked up a little footrest to go under my desk; not surprisingly, my feet don’t comfortably reach the floor and this was putting stress on my knees. anyway, the instructions included this little picture, which Doug and I found amusing.
