Round two of the musical Improv group:

I received this email from Staples last night:

Who knew that I had such a future in office supplies?

A great skit by two of my favorite comedians:

I always look through my SPAM box to see what the titles of the emails I will not be reading are. Today I paused for a good moment when my eyes caught this particular SPAM message:

“I Want A Baby From You!”

It was almost good enough to open, but alas, I did not.

*story end*

If you are not already familiar with Improv Everywhere, they are basically a hidden camera show that does good to unsuspecting passersby.

For example:

Watch and enjoy, it will brighten your day as it did mine.

This video is beautiful, sweet and simple.

Where would you wake up?

Since we just came out of 80 or so days of 100 degree weather, what better/logical thing is there to do besides buy 3 sweaters, one cardigan and a jacket?

Cloth Logic

I am currently sitting in Genuine Joe’s coffee shop, taking a much needed break from my resting on this day of slothfulness. It is 7:30 and this is my first time out of the house today. This, of course, has nothing to do with my point.

I realized that in order to blog, think or enjoy myself, I would need to go to the restroom. The one that I normally use is in a room where there is a meeting going on. I decided to get up and look around, proving to everyone there that I do not, in fact, have any idea where the bathroom is. Why is this something embarrassing? I don’t know, but it took effort to do. I found the bathroom right next to the registers at the coffee bar. I walked into the dark room looking for the switch, and before looking like a fool that couldn’t find the switch (which I couldn’t) I shut the door, enveloping myself in pitch black. I sat there for a second or two trying to find the switch with my hands, looking in all the usual spots. There was nothing by the door. I also managed to knock down a broom and dustpan while searching for the switch. I eventually thought that I might just pee in the dark, no one would know, or would they? They would be able to look at the door and see no light emanating from beneath. They would know I am a fool!

I finally had the brilliant idea to use my phone to search for the switch. I looked all around every wall and found nothing, I was horrified. Eventually, I found a sheet of paper saying “Please turn out the light (outside the door).” Shit! Surely they would know that I could not find the switch, because they could see it, turned off! I quickly opened the door, drew the attention of the baristas behind the door with my not-so-sneaky moves, turned the light on, shut the door and peed, shamefully.

I think the world will continue turning and that life will go back to normal soon. Actually, I think they already forgot I am here. Oh well.

Check out this gorgeous video that a fan of the band “Grizzly Bear” made for their song “Two Weeks.”

Beautiful!
