everyone go visit nick’s page du jour. today’s picture is one that i took in marseille on saturday. plus, i am doing my part to keep his hits up.
so today is the anniversary of challenger and the flags at the center are at half staff. it makes me think of the metal plaque i have on my wall at home. it’s funny but with a serious message that i try to remember on days when i am bored with my work. the sign shows a painted picture of a pilot standing on his wrecked airplane, with the caption “remember the possible consequences if you are careless in your work.” it’s a nice reminder that my work, though it often seems inconsequential, will have an impact someday, and that i need to do my best.
anyway. enough philosophizing. on to something completely frivilous.
last night i watched joe millionaire. the premise of the show is so wrong, and yet it’s so captivating. the show does make fun of itself, which i like, and come on, it is just so incredibly funny to watch. on his date with the curly brown-haired girl last night, i was sitting in my apartment laughing out loud. they were cooking dinner, and this woman knew even less about cooking that i do.
her: “oh, this is garlic, right?
him: “um, no, those are onions.”
also, she said if she had $50 million, she’d go to a 3rd world country, and, like, bathe their children, and feed them and educate them. she said she was a real mercenary kind of person. mercenary! becca and i had a great laugh over this one, as we’re pretty sure she meant she was a missionary type of person, not (according to m-w.com) 1) a hired soldier in a foreign army or 2) serving solely for pay or sordid advantage. i’m cracking up here.
