A Tour of my Office
There is a snowball's chance in hell that April will ever get to see my office in person, so I thought I would take her on a little tour of the space I call mine for 8 hours every day. If you remind me I could probably make a "Room 38 - Christmas edition" happen in a few months.
This is the front desk you see when you walk in. That little blue sign says "Please see receptionist" as if you had a choice. I also appreciate the 9/11 remnants and 6 year old newspaper clippings. If you look in the bottom right of the picture, you will notice a hole in the wall resembling a fireplace. It doesn't actually go anywhere, but we have a mantle.
If you take a left after the desk, you see my door! The filing cabinet to the left is where I am supposed to file things. More on that later. You can also see my coat rack with a coat to match every skirt I own. This way, I am never without a jacket when I need one. That is Tom's office on the left.
Here is my office! I think this picture best illustrates how one can have walls but no privacy. Please take special note of the door on the right which goes nowhere but has the number 39 on it. Also admire the fine plush chair I sit in, which has a nice squeak to it and is upolstered with what I am pretty sure is the same material as the carpet. We like to match around here I guess.
This is my bulletin board and my desk. It is a random smattering of things, mostly concert tickets and pictures of BU and Barron. That tissue box is the last remaining in the office, as we were told by our supplier that we are cut off. As in the whole building is cut off. I believe the memo actually said: 
I know I showed you my filing cabinet, but here is the pile of things I need to file. I think I will wait until the pile is as high as the lamp before really digging in. You may also be wondering, does that lamp work? Why no, it doesn't because there is no plug its tiny cord can reach.
This is what it looks like when I am sitting in my chair. I know it may inspire you to run out and Carpe Diem! That means "seize the day" for those of you who aren't "in the know."
Well that is my office. I hope it was a fun tour. Look for the Christmas edition coming this December!

Here is a nice picture of me blogging. It's not what you blog, its how you blog it. Take that blog and make it your own.
Yankees are malodrous
Someone just gave me this t-shirt for being so nice and helpful at my job! The gesture is appreciated.
Also this is my first post with a picture from my cell phone! I am one step closer to a lifecast.
What the F is this crapola
What the F. I am a faithful Dr. Pepper drinker. I recently realized that maybe I should pay attention to all these 1 in 6 caps win labels on the bottle because maybe I would win something cool. Instead, this is the message I got:
YOU WIN!
sweepstakes tally: 5
You’ve won a Dr Pepper — Indiana Jones screensaver.
Click below to choose a screensaver to download. Be sure to choose wisely and remember to keep drinking Dr Pepper for more codes because 1 in 6 will win.
Wha?? A screensaver??!?! That is so dupsterino. I would have taken an Indy pencil, an Indy trapper keeper folder - perhaps even a free Dr. Pepper!
But no. A screensaver was my prize. One that I could probably make myself with 10 minutes on google image search and changing the settings on my desktop. I heard your stupid movie sucked anyway!

Mr. Banana Grabber
Some guy got busted at Bisco with 14,000 hits of LSD. That averages out to two hits of acid per festival-goer. I don't know if this guy is really stupid or someone with really high aspirations. Either way it does not sound like he had a smart business plan.Anyway, I was reminded of one of my favorite attendees at camp. He was wearing a banana suit similar to the one above the entire time. I can only speculate what the suit smelled like by the end of the weekend, since he also wore it inside of the 200 degree late night dance tent. He was pretty committed to this suit. I wonder maybe what he was hiding inside?
The person pictured above is not in fact the guy at the festival but it is my cousin in a banana suit sporting a hansome underbite.
UPDATE: There is a video news story to accompany this: http://wnyt.com/article/stories/S519475.shtml?cat=300
I counted two uses of the phrase "Jonathan taylor was trying to get people tripping but instead he ended up with a trip to the Schenectady county jail."
Cuffys of Cape Cod
Because Beth likes it better when I rant about stuff instead of just posting pictures I will give her a rant.
The Metrowest Daily News was kind enough today to remind me of a nightmare of a store called Cuffys.
Cuffys has all of the sweatshirts and sweatshorts you could ever dream of in your favorite B.U.M. equipment styles. Just replace where it says BUM with with words "Cape Cod" and you have the entire store right there. The Cuffy's website is down right now, but here is a little taste of what they have to offer.
While searching for BUM equipment pictures I found this delightful photo of Bob Chaney, who markets himself as a BUM equipment model:
It's true love.
Anyway, there are 100 convenient Cuffys locations all over the cape and your mom would probably drag you to every single one if she could.
And for the frugal mom, there is the Cuffy's factory outlet store, which may smell less pleasant but on the plus side, there is a singing dancing jamboree band a la Roll on America.
For those unfamiliar with Roll on America, picture the Country Bear jamboree at Disney World but half as talented and possibly featuring an octopus. The cuffy's show is the retarded younger brother.
I bet Beth saw the movie the Country Bears.
In the theater.

Julian Beever
Julian Beever has a great gallery of 3D pavement drawings at http://users.skynet.be/J.Beever/pave.htm. 
This is particularly impressive to me because you can really see how huge these drawings must be in real life. I would never have the patience for this.
Scott Wade
Scott Wade draws art into dirty car windows. You can check out more of his work at dirtycarart.com.
A Visit from Beth
Despite Beth's bad bus luck, this weekend was a success! A nice trip to Vermont was a much needed trip out of the city. Also the Cassavettes show at the Paradise Saturday was a lot of fun. I think everyone really enjoyed it! Please enjoy a few pictures from the weekend especially my favorite one below. Thanks to Beth for coming out! See you at Camp!

Celebrity Lookalikes?
I kind of think that Katie Couric looks like the mom from Little People Big World.
