The mosaic of the head of state
Somehow, when I left work today, I still had the credit card in my pocket from the errands that Chris sent me on this afternoon. Of course, it's only the company account card for Staples, but still--it would be fun to go crazy in there. I could do some damage with that.
When Jen and I were shopping in FAO Schwarz, we saw a brochure or sign or something about their gift cards, which you can get in $100,000 denominations. Dead serious. They have designer toys. And a $15,000 life-sized stuffed elephant.
But you know you're growing up when the thought of spending that much money in a toy store makes you sick, but the thought of spending it in Ikea makes you giddy. Of course, our conclusion was that we would each like a $100,000 "gift card for life." You know, like the Amex or Mastercard gift cards that you can get, that are accepted wherever the credit card is accepted. That would be the cadeau de choix. French? Sure, why not.
Ahhh! New favorite website? playmash.com. Remember elementary school? What am I talking about, elementary school? Remember college? Playing MASH? Wasting time in class? Trying to stay awake during boring sociology lectures... okay, that's probably more the college version than the elementary school version. Still. It's almost as much fun (and just about as addictive) if you do it while you're wasting time at work as it was when you were wasting time at school.
Yes, it has been that uneventful of a day, when discovering online MASH is the highlight. Because I spent most of my day at work cataloguing our 135 blueprints and stage diagrams, and let me tell you; when they're all rolled up, and you're just trying to get the pertinent information, while sitting at a desk, and when you're trying to type around this big roll of paper on your lap that has a mind of its own and that's acting like a psychotic jack-in-the-box, you'd probably rather be doing almost anything else.

Hehe, among others, I ended up living in Cannington as a squeegee kid!
