mommy, what are these?

perhaps the funniest thing i've heard for a while. me and beck were at dominick's yesterday and this 8-year old girl picks up a box of condoms and asks her mom the above question. i want to stick around to hear the answer but me and beck had to leave before we busted out laughing.

the beck is in virginia all week, but she promised to try and blog if she has a computer connected to the internet. i plan to be in my bed all week, okay not really, but i kind of wish i was.

today is window washing day here at 401 N Michigan, and if you have a window it's a freaky day indeed. first they throw down the ropes and once you get used to something banging against your building every 3-5 seconds the window-washer repels down. i'm on the 33rd floor and i don't think i've ever seen a bird, much less a human. he scared the beejebus out of me. but as quickly as he arrived, he was gone.

i'm almost out of here. and that feels good.
