a day in the life
Last Thursday night I got my first-ever ride in the back of a police car. That's how awesome I am.
Meghan and I went to see the Daniel Wesley Band downtown. They were awesome. We left the club and the rest is history.
Seriously--for the whole story, read her blog. The quick and dirty, is that we left her nice white car prettily parked one street up. We returned to find police tape and broken glass everywhere, and her now-trashed white car half-crushed on the sidewalk, 8 feet ahead of where it was originally parked. A guy (thought to be impaired) ran a red light, hit a minivan, nailed the car parked behind us and then starting rolling onto Meghan's car. The truck hit Meghan's car so hard there were skid marks on the sidewalk from her wheels.
It blew my mind.
Anyways, the police ended up driving us home. So no, I am not a criminal. I just chose to ride in the back seat.
Because I'm a dork that way.

total eclipse
So there was a total lunar eclipse this evening. This is a picture I took right at the beginning, not too long after I got home from work. You can see the bottom left is just starting to go. It was too dark for the later pictures to really turn out. This was the one I liked the best anyways. Our boss gave us an eclipse lesson at work today. We were discussing the differences between solar and lunar eclipses. It was pretty funny with the coffee cups and staplers lined up for our astronomy lesson.

Roads? Where we're going we don't need roads.
Strolling oh-so-casually down Third Avenue this morning on my way to work, I was enmeshed in the present. What would I do at work? Would there be any argyle in the workplace this lovely day? Would more snow melt?
And then, all of a sudden, I was taken back.
To the future.
I glanced to my left, and there, in all its glory, was Marty McFly's De Lorean. It was grey. Not so shiny. There was a fire extinguisher in the back window. I did a major double take and nearly danced a jig on the sidewalk. I am sure the people in the insurance office next to me were probably laughing. But who cares? It was the De Lorean!
I nearly expected Doc Brown to dash out of the insurance office and spirit me away to 1955.
Of course, in the end, it was missing a few essential components. Such as the flux capacitor. And Marty McFly himself. But it made my day.
And now that I think of it...a certain upper-level poli-sci prof I had at TRU bore a very strong resemblance to said Marty McFly, give or take 25 years.

jiminy cricket!
So my friends at Rolling Stone have turned me on to the best website ever. Or maybe just the best website this week. It's called musicovery.com and it's fabulous. The kind of website you could get lost for hours on. Go on and try it, I dare you.
In other news, apparently I may become Meghan's conscience. That's what she said, I'm not going to be so vain as to proclaim it. But I'm just tellin' ya, the potential is there. In the course of this discussion, it led me to think of Pinocchio. Yes, the wooden boy. And his little conscience dude. Jiminy Cricket. Yep, just call me Jiminy Cricket. I even have an umbrella. But mine is pink. And I'm not a cricket. But whatever. You see the connection.
That's all.
