This RV parked right across the street from our place, just on of the perks of living at the End of the World. Unfortunately, I couldn’t get a look at the whole vehicle, because its resident was standing behind it. He was giving me the evil eye when I snapped this one, so I made a hasty retreat.

Me: Zero, Big Bad World: One
Have you ever walked toward a door, reached for the doorknob, not slowed down, turned the doorknob but not quite far enough, and then walked right into the door, just in time for your coworker to see your smashed face through the little window?
Um, yeah, me neither.
What is a male seamstress called?
L and L and I were talking about sewing the other day, and we couldn’t figure out what the male variant of ‘seamstress’ is. All we could come up with was ‘seamster’ which seemed a little too organized labor to be correct. However, the power of the internet proved that ‘seamster‘ is indeed a word, although ‘tailor’ would probably be the more common term. ‘Sartor‘ would also be appropriate.

Another car in the Mondrian/de Stijl style! Previously, I scoped out the Mondrian Mobile, which is a bit more elaborate, but then again it’s a corporate art car.
Special thanks to L for the head’s up!

Five things I would have tweeted if I used Twitter
I’m sure that Twitter is good for something. I’m just not sure if it’s good for me. Here are the things I would have tweeted from my recent trip back east:
- Just learned that after a long trip, the Delta flight crew all meets up at the airport Taco Bell.
- Neither my dad nor i have had a haircut in our home states this year
- That’s actually a lie. I did have a haircut in CA in the spring.
- Retail has officially jumped the shark: CVS has Christmas stuff before Halloween
- Happiness is flying cross country with nobody else in your row
