Silver Sprung so pedestrian

First, had a delightful time in New York last week. Went shopping but didn't have to sell my doggie for my shopping addiction - which is good. I'm a pro on the subway and scored fab vintage deals. Yay, Beacon's Closet in Park Slope.

Second, didn't go to the Renaissance Festival to make fun of the carnies. It was too muddy to venture out. Initially, I thought someone above didn't approve of my gratification at others expense... but really, really? Carnies. Come on. I hope to have fodder in the future to blog on. This means I must go before it ends!! CARNIES!!

Lastly, Silver Spring - the lovely hub of slick surburban living is getting all fancy with a new transit stop and a gazillion bus stops. Normally this would be a good thing, people, bad fashion to poke fun of, pick pocketing opportunities galore. But nay, not if it imposes where you have to be and not if it increases the number of vagrants meandering around where you are. I don't take kindly to people asking for money unless they are family and I don't take kindly to them either. (mostly because the phrase 'borrow' is injected when we all really know the correct phrase is 'give') Alas. I love my family but I do not like strangers and especially a whole bunch of them, taunting Darwinism and subconsciously asking me to mow them down in my vehicle.

Public Blogs

I've had a profound realization: People are retarded.

Case in point, see the above image. I get it, perhaps you have a blog as a personal journal of sorts. A way to detox your soul and life of the mundane existence you have. Or a saucy way to gripe about the ill fashion sins being committed. Or better yet, to document the cute expression of your dog's face when he does something terribly naughty. But if your blog is public - obviously you want people to see it SO if it is used for evil and not good, then them's the breaks. I mean if I posted a picture of myself in high school with Teflon hair and a rad off the shoulder one piece, it's taking a gamble that someone will:
a. give me a compliment and say that I haven't aged a day since Metallica toured with Guns N Roses
b. photoshop my head onto a porn star
c. vehemently make fun of my 'tiffanyesque' updo and bad fashion sense

These are the chances we take. The image is funny because it sounds like some sort of McCarthy Blacklist conspiracy.

Ah, people. Speaking of which. Went to the Renaissance Festival and it was great. I would highly advise anyone with self esteem issues to go, as you will most likely walk away with a grander sense of self. I'll be sure to take pictures the next time to further my point.

Almost Fall

Is it me or does 'twitter' sound dirty?

I love fridays and the fall. It's great that it finally feels cool. Looking forward to coats, sweaters and cute stockings. Not looking forward to total darkness.
