No lack of entertainment...


On our way home tonight Kevin and I saw the strangest thing. Yes, it was these glasses pictured above. I would like to reiterate that we were taking the train home at 9:30pm and it was verrrry dark. So, this guy puts on the sunglasses. If looking like an obnoxious person isn't enough, the stupid glasses have a blinking light on the side. My initial thought was that they were some sort of surveillance device. Kevin's eyes lit up as he expressed that they may be "video game glasses". That was quickly shot down because they guy was reading a newspaper, supposedly. While Kevin and I were investigating the guy I was caught by another train rider who was also laughing at the strange glasses. Our final thought, and correct thought, was that it was an MP3 player built into sunglasses. When I came home and looked them up I found out they are around $350 dollars. Why not buy a normal MP3 player? They aren't very heavy. There is no need for an affiliation between sunglasses and MP3 players...plus it's really dorky.

Other than that, Kevin and I went jogging this afternoon. We jogged for what felt like forever to our destination. I was all sweaty and winded. We ate and ran home... much to our dismay the journey we trekked going north turned out to be around and 8 minute jog jome. We weren't winded or sweaty or tired in the least bit. I'm not sure what happened. Perhaps we travelled through a space-time-continuum thing on our way home? I'm still trying to sort it all out.

Hamster and Snake: Best Friends

I think we could all learn a lesson from the best friend snake and hamster. I'm sure there's a lesson in there somewhere. It might just be that Japanese animals are really weird, I'm not sure.

Be Kind to your Ollapod!

I have been working in the city a lot lately, which I really like. In fact, I'm requesting to switch permanently. It's very different than the suburbs. I had an altercation yesterday with a man, who strolled up to the out window at 5:05 (we close at 5pm). First I told him we had closed. He argued with me that he had to take care of this now, which was true. He had purchased a prescription 7 days ago and didn't have insurance card. We only have 7 days at Walgreens to reprocess a prescription, which this man knew. His receipt was all worn and we couldn't find his information to reprocess. So, I started to explain this to him, he started yelling at me saying this was my fault and that if I had done my job right we wouldn't be here. So, here's the play-by-play:
"It's my fault you didn't have your insurance information when you picked up your prescription?"
"YEAH, NOW GIVE ME MY MONEY-"
"Sir, what your going to have to do--"
"(incomprehensible yelling)"
"Listen to me. Will you please listen to me?"
"No you FUCKING BITCH"
"I'm closing the gate on you."
So I went to close the big gate by the registers on him. As it was rolling down he screamed,
"YOU FUCKING BITCH, YOU DIRTY SLUT, YOU'RE GOING TO BE SORRY WHEN I DON'T GET MY MONEY BIIIIIITCH."

I was stunned. First off, I wish I was a slut -- because then I would be out and not sitting here blogging. That's another story though. People get very passionate about money. Anyway, I haven't been called a bitch in a while by a customer -- and this is the first time I've been called a slut. Now I'm off to work. He better not come back in.

This site was originally created to honor spies, disguises, and clever trickery. I also like to post weird news I come across. So in the intended spirit of the site -- here are some very interesting disguise/trickery links:

BrotherSisterFatherLove and Party Party

The theme of inappropriate sibling/sibling and sibling/parent love has been a constant theme in my life for the past week. It all gives me the creeps. First of all, a friend of mine just loooooves her brother. So much so that when she drinks she talks about it a lot. One night she kept saying "If you ask my brother who the most beautiful girl in the world is, its meeee!" I think that's weird. I feel that siblings should have a healthy dose of animosity towards eachother. My brother and I are very mean to eachother, but we do it with love. We know that in order to have a healthy brother/sister relationship we have to annoy eachother and hurt eachother's feelings. It keeps the universe in order. The same goes for parents and their children. I have been watching (my fault again) "Daddy's Spoiled Little Girl" on WE. I know better, especially with "Daddy" in the title. I feel like the Dad's have the biggest problem in the show. They love their daughters in an improper way. They have all ignored their wives and loved their daughters in a creepy way. The daughter's all reciprocate this weird love (and none of them have had boyfriends in the picture, either). My father can't stand me and I can't stand him. He does his best to irritate me, and I in turn do the same. Once again, the universe stays in order. So, I say all these people who just looooove their family members so much -- should seek professional help.

This is another weird show on Bravo. (I really don't watch that much TV...its all TiVo I tell you!) The one I saw was about two families planning graduation parties for their daughters. My favorite part of the show was the little sister of one of the graduates. She was a little 7-8 year old hispanic girl. She turned into this little freak on the dance floor doing moves that I haven't even seen. She was dropping it like it was hot, gyrating, humping the floor, etc. When she got on the floor and started doing "Crybaby" moves, I almost fell off the couch. She was totally out of control!

This little girl knew more sex moves than I think...anyone. The old people who owned the space they rented kept saying "You've got to watch this one." Yeah, no kiddding.

Ahh.. how I love to live vicariously through others on reality tv.

I have alot of CATCHING UP TO DO!

I haven't posted for a really long time. Mostly becuase Kevin teased me about blogging, but he's stuck with me -- so I shouldn't take his criticism to heart. My faithful partner in crime, Irene, has inspired me to start writing again. So, in the words of Swayze Fisher "I HAVE A LOT OF CATCHING UP TO DO!"

I would like to first discuss Discovery Health.
Recently Kevin, Anthony and I watched "Born without a Face" over dinner -- which wasn't the greatest idea. This little girl was really born without a face, but she had most of the parts for a face. She was born with only half of her facial bones. Despite her disfigured face she had this beautiful golden hair that was always moving as though the wind were blowing it. We were mesmerized by her gentle hair. After my stomach settled while watching the program we all fell in love with the little girl.

I thought it would be alright to watch "Born with Two Heads", which immediately followed "Born without a face". I was wrong again. We didn't make it past the first few minutes. The camera started panning up a normal baby's body and would stop and cut to a doctor, the mother, family member, etc. Then it went all the way up. We weren't prepared for what we saw. It panned up and up and the baby looked normal, we saw the baby's face, then this other head was coming from the baby's head. It was only a head though.... a fully formed functioning head not attached to a body. It was wriggling and crying (and very beautiful also... nature works in weird ways like that. If you are going to be an extra head you will be gorgeous, because nature isn't that cruel.)

Why I'm bringing this up is because last night I almost watched "160 lb Tumor"...but I stopped myself. I have learned my lesson with these programs. I feel as though I have such little innocence left that I shouldn't expose myself to these programs.
