no shame, no gain

today i played supermodel. it was super fun.
outside the building were these giant pink planters (like 7 feet tall) full of purple flowers. it was possibly the most bizarre thing i have ever seen.
on my travels i passed a perfect and unexpected combination of two of my favorite plants - a juniper bush threaded through with deadly nightshade...the most incredibly beautiful weed of all time. i do love poison berries...
then it was off to the chinese restaurant we used to frequent when i was a kid. it's a full on gangster style 50s upscale diner with a separate takeout window and an amazing golden buddha sitting in a bath of pebbles in the front entrance...i asked nicely and took some pix for the sake of nostalgia. didn't have time or money for the special fried rice...next time...need to return at night to capture the neon dragon outside...(use your imagination, i'm still shooting film)
lastly, to the jewish bakery for raisin challah. so i can eat a whole loaf of bread in one day...so what?
oh yeah, and i upgraded my ram. so satisfying. so nerdy.
my temporary roommate told me i'm the quirkiest and funniest person she has ever met. she's just a babe (and actually, she would kick my ass in the supermodel department), but i'll take the compliment.
