Things I Saw At Work Today

[victorianpirate]

In no particular order:

• A gorilla.
• A 6-foot-tall hot dog inna bun. Wearing a sombrero. Who drove off on a moped.
• A bent old man with a pipe who on closer inspection turned out to be a 20-something guy who'd painted his hair gray and stuffed a pillow up under his cardigan.
• Clouds of smoke billowing from one of the garden patches. Poked it with a stick and discovered the entire patch was ON FIRE and had been smoldering just under the beauty bark. Can't decide whether I'm happy or sad that we caught it in time to keep the mall from burning to the ground...

Some days I really wonder whether I'm actually seeing what's in front of me or whether the things that wander through my brain have come to life.

Also, I cannot believe I am sunburned. More specifically, I cannot believe I'm actually happy about it - when the vampire goth kid wants sunshine so much she burns herself, you KNOW it's bad!

Well, THAT was certainly an interesting day. May o'morrow be good as well... :-)

Yes! Although a little less with the sunburning myself would be advisable... oops.

THIS is why goths hate the sun, methinks. ;-P Rx: rub aloe on't - it's a life-saver. It comes in liquid form from TJ's amongst other places.

Oh, I wish I had access to the wonderful Goth Flag stickers one friend made for another years ago: gradations of gray from light to dark (imagine the standard rainbow flag but all gray)...

I've SEEN those! Where have I seen them? *think think think* Somebody on CafePress probably makes them...

Ducky (who I know from SoCal and who goes to the Grind now and again) was the guy I knew who made 'em years back. Mebbe you saw one on his jacket or something?
