My Desk

Cubicles are boring. Mine is this icky shade of greenyblue fabric. I have worked in this cubicle for nearly 3 years. I have succeeded in covering nearly all of the icky greenyblueness with interesting things. Here is a quick inventory of (nonwork-related) items in my cubicle:

(Starting from my left and working around) -

  1. Postcards from New Orleans, Niagra Falls, Los Angeles, San Francisco (2), Costa Rica, New York City, Mexico, Japan, Vietnam, Morocco, Venice, Azores, Budapest, Florence, Paris, and Sardinia (2).
  2. Mardi Gras Beads and Mask
  3. Stuffed Totoro
  4. Stuffed Tibeten Yeti Christmas Tree Ornament
  5. Stuffed Chik-fil-a Cow
  6. Stuffed Devil
  7. Little Banner of some Chinese Saying (I don't remember what it says)
  8. Chinese fortune cookie fortune: It is during difficult times that true friends become apparent.
  9. Chinese fortune cookie fortune: Your happiness is intertwined with your outlook on life.
  10. Hones-Tea lid: A person is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.
  11. Candy Canes (2, from different Christmases)
  12. Several Christmas cards
  13. Little Mexican Pyramid
  14. Red rubber duck with horns pencil topper
  15. Pink plastic easter egg
  16. yarn chicks (2)
  17. Portuguese lucky rooster
  18. remote control car (with dead batteries)
  19. Cicada exoskeleton
  20. Battery-operated coffee stirrer/frother (courtesy Token Asian)
  21. Photo of Santa Lucia (from the National Gallery of Art, taken by Robert)
  22. Corn car magnet/toy
  23. Statue of some Indian god/goddess (from John's trip to India)
  24. Reindeer poop jelly bean dispenser (also from Token Asian)
  25. 3 coffee mugs
  26. another toy car
  27. 5 free 1-liter coke tops
  28. Another Chinese banner (I can't remember what it says either)
  29. Grasshopper finger puppet

Now you can sleep at night.

    3 things:

    1. According to my sources (doesn't that sound all spy-like and mysterious?), the Horned owl says "Who cooks for you", while the Barred owl says "Who cooks for you-all". Apparently this is an important distintion in birder-world. I think birders are odd, but who am I to judge?

    2. What is a yarn chick?

    3. Can I have one? :D

    Exoskeleton. Cool.

    Which Hindu deity? Kali?

    Could you be more gay?

    I'm so honored that some of my trinkets have been selected to spend time with you in your cubicle! I forgot where I got that reindeer poop toy...Tokyo? Korea? Hiroshima?

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

Shaken. Bruised. And Just the Facts.

This is not the post I was intending to write this evening, but ... I need to write things down to sort them out in my head as best as possible. At approximately 2:50PM on my walk home from the metro station, I was attacked from behind. I have walked down Wayne Avenue at least twice a day for 5 years, at all hours of the day and night. I have always felt perfectly safe doing so. Even today didn't seem out of the ordinary. As I approached the intersection of Dale and Wayne, I passed a young black man in his early 20s. I made eye contact and nodded. I crossed Dale and heard a noise. I turned and saw someone running up Dale. That's when I noticed someone following me. I turned off my iPod and reached for my phone. And he jumped me, putting me in a chokehold and trying to pull me to the ground. I began hitting him over my shoulder with my large umbrella (which, sadly, is now in pieces). I hit myself in the head a couple times, too, and have a few lumps. He pulled me to the ...

Weekend Update: Thanks for the Memories, NYC!

Good afternoon, kittens! I am back from an ... eventful trip to New York City. I wish I could post more pictures, but, as you will learn in a bit, there is a Very Good Reason. On Friday, after work, I hopped on the Amtrak. It was uneventful ... except I lost my hat. Sad. I really liked that hat. Once, I arrived at Penn Station, I transferred to the subway and rode up to 50th Street. David was attending a show, so I found a little Irish bar, had a beer, and waited for the show to end. Eventually, he found me and we had a late dinner at a Mexican restaurant that was yummy and I have completely forgotten the name. Lime something? Lime Jungle? Something like that anyway. Then, we went back to David's fabulous apartment in Brooklyn. This is the kitchen: Even though it is bigger than my entire apartment, I am not jealous. The next morning, we got up and went to IKEA. David forced me to carry a 7000 pound futon frame for 58 miles through all 42 Burroughs of New York City. Seri...
