The academy award for ridiculous melodrama goes to you so get on up there and give us a speech.
-The Dismemberment Plan

Yesterday, I was serving wine at this lecture that we had here at work and I was asked this question by a woman who went into the lecture for about 30 seconds:

Crazy lady: I wasn't in the lecture long, but I was wondering how you think he is running the lecture.
Me: Well, I'm guessing that he is showing slides of his work and then explaining the concepts behind the image and maybe technical aspects as well.
Crazy Lady: Hmm, well I was thinking that he was probably showing slides of his work and then explaining them.
Me: (thinking "Hello? Didn't I just say that? Should I tell her she's a moron?") saying: You know what, you're absolutely right. (laying on sarcasm with trowel.)
Crazy Lady: Do you think that most lectures are like this?
Me: (Thinking " Are you serious?") Yes, I do.

Another person last night entered the museum, walked around for awhile, sat in front of a photograph and THEN came up to me and asked:

Guy: Is this the museum with sculpture?
Me: No, this is the Museum of Contemporary Photography.
Guy: Oh, cool.

Fun at work.

So my auction closed last night on ebay and now I am $62.99 richer -minus $10.00 for shipping and the $2. for posting my item- ok, so maybe $50.99 richer. I've never actually mentioned what it was, so I will now - it's an extrenal zip drive. Anyway, while on ebay yestederday, a friend told me that you can actually buy used socks. I kid you not, you can. I don't get it at all. I know people have foot fetishes, but dirty socks? please.

Have a nice weekend!
