my adventures and observations.

The other day I was on the #2 bus. I saw this woman getting off the bus who was sporting a look that was extreme. The only way to describe it was that she looked like Shockheaded Peter. (also known as Struwwelpeter a pretty darn freaky German fairytale from the 19th century) Only black. Her talons were enormously long. I do believe kickadee would have been enthralled.

This morning as I waited for another bus I saw a person who looked exactly like the Julia Sweeney SNL character Pat. I spent a good five minutes trying to figure out if this person was a man or woman. I had to get on my bus and just accept the fact that it will remain a mystery.

Last week I was on a ghetto bus and saw this guy who looked exactly like Taye Diggs. If Taye Diggs was inclined to sport a velvet purple blazer and ride a ghetto bus in Seattle. He was lovely to look upon. I wanted to put him on a shelf and show him off to company.

This morning I saw atonal on the #2. Nothing like seeing people you know on the bus. Not much of a conversation other than "hey". But still. cool.

I had a neat conversation with a customer today. It seems she and her brother own a tiny little olive tree orchard on a greek island. They are able to make their own olive oil and everything. She said it is the most amazing thing. Best olive oil ever. I then convinced her to spend 30 dollars on some olive oil. hee.

I have decided I don't like one customer because she is just sooooooo irritatingly perfect. The woman is like the character in the Sylvia comic, "The woman who does everything more perfect than you". She has four kids, her figure is perfect, she leads this perfect life. And she sports jewelry with rocks that could do some serious damage. I don't want her life but I sure envy her hair. *snorts*
She makes it look so easy. I hope she has some horrible dark secret or eats laundry starch when she is pregnant.

This weekend may involve purchasing more bookshelves. The damn books have bred again and there is no more room.
