Just When You Thought Your Energy Was All Gone...

It's like drinking red pepper! I have only choked twice and I'm sure my colon will be back to normal any day now...

They will use anything to sell an energy drink. I know I will typically, robotically, buy anything that is new purely for the sake of its newness.

Monday Morning Milieu

This is how my day begins. Take my pill, write a note to remember to take it again tomorrow, put on my glare resistant shades and get to workin'.

White Roses from a Secret Admirer

How did this mysterious stranger know that white roses are my favorite flower? Tell me, Liberal, does loving white roses the way I do make me racist? Only the Grand Wizard truly knows. But seriously. When I look at a white rose, I don't think of wonder bread or the ludicrous notion of genetic superiority, I'm just so amazed by the observation that most of nature explodes with color and the stark purity of the white rose is a startling and striking contradiction...until I read that the color white actually contains every color of the spectrum, which makes the white rose the most colorful flower of all.

Monet for Nothin'...

This is the photo that got me thrown out of the High Museum. Too bad for them that I had to pass through the gift shop on my way out and was able to buy a book of everything they wouldn't let me see due to my "crime". Fantabulous Exhibit!

Need a Trim?

This sign appeared all over my apt complex. Apparently word got out that my last hair cut was 4 years ago. Luckily for me the REAL barbershop is just around the corner on Piedmont.

My new chair-desk!

Frozen Pop!

Muy frio, Ay! My dad took this picture from his truck in the cold, unforgiving, arctic urban tundra of...uh, somewhere...

The Precious...and her Mommy!

Ma n Daizy! Taken on Fadda's Day weekend...

WALKING TO WORK...

Today I thought I'd walk to work. What the hell, it's only 1.5 miles from my apt. and there's lots to look at on the way. There's the PetSmart, the Mosaic and Soliel bistro restaurants, there's a building where cop cars are always parked but it's not a government building, there's the homeless dude picking through the overflowing dumpster, there's the lovely, drooling, crazy-eyed rotweiller that seems to keep this one particular street under constant surveillance...perhaps for one of those strange cop cars that are always parked in front of what appears to be an abandoned building, there are the illegal hispanic leaf blowers who refuse to move out of the street when you drive toward them, the baggy-panted, hooded gentlemen who swagger down the street looking this way and that like owls on Red Bull, the charming dilapidation of foreclosed businesses, bars and houses that are being overrun with rats, feral cats and other assorted vermin. All this teeming bustle of urban life that I could commune with daily and yet...no. It's mid June in Atlanta, people. It's just too frickin' HOT! Leave me to my silver Impala of the arctic air conditioning. I like to arrive at work with my make-up still intact and not completely melted like a wax candle lit by a blowtorch.

Flotsam and Jetsom

Speaking of Random, I have no idea where this blog came from. Must have been an ambien-induced idea that broke out from my subconscious. Anyway, since it's here, I may as well use it.

Things I'm upset about this morning:

1. The cancellation of "Moonlight"

2. Obama winning the Democratic Nom

3. My oatmeal giving me heartburn

4. How long I have to wait for the new X-Files movie to come out

5. My favorite fuschia pen running out of ink

6. Not being able to find my dangly orange earrings

7. Why they can't find any freakin' water on Mars

8. Still stung about being rejected by the red cross

9. Forgetting my salad on the kitchen table

10. Atlanta humidity soaking my clothes before 9AM
