Lis's Project 365

Another wonderfully ridiculous event, ironically organized by the Boston Society of Spontaneity. This time we gathered outside the shopping center at the Prudential to learn about the event: each of us was asked to develop a silly walk, a la Monty Python, and then spend a few minute practicing it.

Then, about 5-10 people at a time, we went into the Pru with a simple instruction: just wander around and shop, doing your silly walk. And so we did. My friend Anthony and I got several reactions, ranging from funny looks and muttered comments, to one woman who flat-out asked us what was going in. The best was the guy who turned to us on the escalator and said, in an exaggerated accent. “Ah! Will you be applying for a position at the Ministry of Silly Walks, then? Might I suggest that you could make your walk a bit sillier by occasionally stopping in mid-step, like this? Ah, yes!”

Great fun. And, I might add, a good workout. I look forward to Pillow Fight Day…

we ordered pizza, and I put it under Doug’s name, since it’s easier to spell.

or maybe not.

For those of you who are not yet convinced that I have a rather…unique work environment, I offer this:

this was our special lunchtime fun activity today. really. general opinion was that he kind of resembles our recently resigned COO.

These prints came up from the street, went around the garage and back to the street. I suspect they are the prints of our little masked friend. I also think this route is part of a regular routine, since I saw the same track last week.

it kind of looks like an alien face, or maybe like something a little dirty. I don’t know. but it’s sure weird.

I really like the fact that Parker and Winnie like hanging out together.  Even if they really don’t both fit very well in the spot they both want to be.

he’s feeling a bit deflated.

god, my job is weird.

NOT Duck meets local meteorologist, Jeremy Reiner from Channel 7. Very nice guy. When I told  him about the ducks adventures with the rich and/or famous, he feared he was not in their league. I assured him that he is.

Tonight Parker discovered the bench that we keep in the hall. It’s been there almost since we moved in, so I don’t know why he’s never really noticed it before. He spent a while nosing around in our bags and coats, and then just sat there proudly, reveling in his new domain.

when I got up this morning, my water glass was full of bubbles. there are often a few, but today Doug and I both noticed that there were a lot of them and we wondered if there was some change in pressure.  Because we wonder about stuff.
