Spotted in a storefront at the mall while Christmas shopping. Sorry about the image quality, but if you can see past the reflection, it’s a female mannequin with a reindeer’s head, wearing what appears to be a corset, a tutu, full-length gloves and a white beehive (hairstyle).
Gramma got mashed up with a reindeer?
Last night while waiting in line for Sherlock Holmes, I saw a guy walk away from the box office, stop, and say, dripping with indignation, “Is this the line for the f***ing movie?!” (There was, of course, a sign saying “Sherlock Holmes 7:20.”)
Somehow, everyone in our group managed to resist the temptation to respond immediately with “No shit, Sherlock.”
Walking into Best Buy wearing a bright blue shirt. On Christmas Eve, no less. This could get interesting. 😯
As it turned out, it didn’t. Either people weren’t quite so desperate and panicked as they often are that close to Christmas, and paid more attention, or the shirt has faded past the point of confusion. In the past, I have had people walk up to me and ask questions about pricing, where to find things, etc.
As near as I can tell, all they sell are iPod/iPhone accessories. But they’re right across from the Apple Store.
I spotted a great 22° halo around the sun this morning, almost by accident. There was a reflection in the rear window of the car in front of me that looked like it could be a distorted contrail or it could be a distorted halo. Once I parked, I looked — and there was this clear halo, almost 3/4 of the circle. The missing quadrant was to the lower right, so I just framed this to get as much of the visible part as I could.
It wasn’t really this blue. The G1 tends to make images in daylight a little extra blue, and seems to have really gone overboard on this one. I’ve got to remember to bring the regular camera with me more often!
Found a bottle of cinnamon in the lunch room and added it to coffee and a hot chocolate packet for a makeshift Mayan mocha.
