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.
hee hee hee.
