More Gutsy Cards Here

I like Iheartguts, have a polo of theirs that I get complimented on all the time, but that card. . . eh. . . uh. . . no.

(note, not an armadillo, a pangolin and their scales are razor sharp)

I love the way it walks.

It was being worn by a little kid, maybe 1-2 years old. He was sitting next to his mother who had an infant in a baby bjorn sitting on her chest.

The shirt said,

"Sponsored by daddy
Supported by mommy"

So, is this the t-shirt for a child of divorce wherein the father is paying child-support while the mother raises the kid?

UPDATE: So I had the stitches removed. Again, everytime I did what he asked he said thank you. THEN, at the end, he congratulated himself. He said he had to say that he did a really good job and that sometimes you just need to compliment yourself. As he was pulling out the stitches he kept commenting on how good he did putting them in.

My co-worker (with whom I can talk about such things) says he's gonna try that on his wife. Thank her then compliment himself on his performance.

It really just struck me as. . . . .odd.

ORIGIANL:

I had oral surgery the other day. It was a young doctor, but a senior doctor was there 'to watch.'

I think I read way to much, because as I'm lying back, my mouth propped open, this young guy directing me, he kept saying a phrase that had my mind go way elsewhere,

"Thank you," he kept saying. And with such earnestness.

"Please turn your head a little to the right, Thank You. Now open a little wider, thank you. Now it's okay, you're doing fine. Thank you."

I don't know if it was a story or a friend that talked about a man who, when having sex with her, kept thanking her throughout and how weird it made her feel.

So as this young earnest doctor is in my mouth, my eyes closed, thanking me, I kept flashing to that story of the young man's first sexual experience as he continually thanks the woman.

And of course, I tried hard not to laugh. He thought it was my nerves that had tears running down my eyes. I didn't have the heart to tell him the truth. Or, I have some shame at least, so didn't say, "No, it's not nerves, it's just me thinking how this is your first time."

In other news - ugh at surgery. It feels weird and icky, like my gum is made of smooth cotton. But, tomorrow I get the stitches out.

The pure essence of NYC - Taxi Cap, Papaya King, Thing to vent the underground so it don't sssplode:

Also on roof I snuck up on, liked it because it's eerie:



Tree across the street that for some reason every bird in NYC converges on:

Here is a sign that I'm on threadless too much. I saw these in the grocery store:



And immediately thought of this place and your love of all things strawberry milkshake and oreo.

Unless I'm confusing you with someone else.

They use centre, instead of center, but claim to be FBI

They say, 'hope to read from you' and not hope to hear from you, as most people write even in e-mails.

They say that it is 100% risk-free because it's 'our right to protect the American Citizens"

The scammers are playing off themselves, "oh, we know about those Nigerian Scammers, we're here to help you" lol

Last night I was typing away, as I'm want to do, when I catch some movement out of the corner of my eye.

Very non-chalantly descending from the ceiling, a tiny brown spider sails down and sits on the draft I'm working off of. Had I been a right- handed mouser, it would have landed on me.

Now, I'm not one for killing spiders, so I go to pick up the draft to toss it outside and it scurries faster then a squirrel in heat and I can't find it again. I couldn't even find where it could have come from, except straight from the ceiling.

All night every friggin errant breeze I thought was that spider. And if there's one, there's a lot more. So every hair that brushed against me, every oscillation of the fan across my skin - I was all squeamy all night.
