Well, I got to the doctor at 1:10, they saw me by 2:45ish. (for my 1pm appt), they seemed happy with my back, but are having me come back again in two weeks for another once-over. (this time, I made an appointment for 9am, so I can get to work on time....I hope) the cab took another hour or so to come get me in the torrential downpour, only to bring me to work that was having major breakdowns of its own. hardware faults, network faults, dale out sick, karen having a heck of a time. bleh.

I'm glad the day is over... I think I'll turn in early, with a good book, some champa smoke, and fresh, clean sheets. maybe some soft, flame-colored purr-monster will help me to sleep, too.

nifty thing, though... saw a costumed mario-like superhero, and he gave me a coupon for some pizza... a "little ceasar's" knockoff.... how good can $5 large pizza be? (you can bet I'll find out, though... you never know... it could be great.)



[edit- pictures here - mario moonlighting]

If it's not raining too hard tomorrow morning, I'm going walkies... it started coming down like gangbusters this morning, and didn't stop until I got to work, again. turned off and on like on tap...I wonder if mario jet did ok? It must've been hot in that suit, to start. I bet it's hard to hawk pizza, and fight crime in the florida weather.

That Is FRIGHTENING!

I would be tempted to run him over if I saw him coming at me in traffic like that. Isn't that illegal?

I always feel sorry for guys who work in suits like that. Gads. Makes my job look heavenly!

He was pretty polite, waving, and coming over when people waved back. Yeah, but being a costumed character has a weird cool element to it, too. I'd like to do the disney character thing, just for a day. Goofy, or one of the Jamboree Bears.

Hahaha! This reminds me of this one character that advertises for "The Hungry Lion Restaurant." Yep, you guessed it. He has to wear this awful mangey lion costume in the Hawaii heat and wave to all the cars. Does that *really* boost their business, ya think?

I'll have to take a picture of him for yas. =)

I Didn't See This The First Time

This sounds very much like a page (digital or paper) out of my own journal. Only the color of the purr monster has been changed to protect the innocent!

so much for me turning in early! :)

What color is your beast?

Beasties

[epiphany.livejournal.com]

I have two of them. Grace is gray with tan/white/pink highlights and looks like a big pile of shag carpeting on the move. Kimchee is a diminutive, sporty little Siamese. Both are bea-yoooo-tiful, gentle and loving companions.

I'll post pictures in my journal if you will!
