tuesday briefs.

isn't spam so much more tolerable when it comes from an interestingly named sender? earlier today i completely ignored harold's advice on enlarging my manhood, yet took a second glance at agamemnon's selection of canadian pharmaceuticals. greek mythology is definitely the way to go there, spammers.

is there something about cold-weather shoes that make people shuffle more? during the past two days coworkers have all been shuffling into my office (unfortunately it isn't the manhattan shuffle!), and i have to attribute it to the fact that they are no longer wearing sandals and have their feet covered up for the fall.

or, given the nature of this place, unless its just because the rug is filled with more mouse hair than usual. bleh.

but while we're on the topic of animals, an FYI in case anyone was thinking of visiting the NY Aquarium - most definitely go during the week day, during the school year. i had a friend in town the past few days, and took friday off for an aquarium adventure. sure we felt a little silly at the sea lion show when we realized the aquatheater was filled with basically all elderly couples, but the animals were so bored with no kids around to torture them that an otter came right up to the edge of his tank and hung out with us for a good 20 minutes. it was the cutest thing i've seen in ages, and probably the highlight of my month. he's so lucky i couldn't heft him over the glass partition or else he'd be stuck doing flips in my bathtub right now.

Oh you totally should've otter-napped that little dude!

if there is anything i would happily go to prison for, it would definitely be otter-napping.

i'll plan on stealing him during my next visit.

I think people are beginning to drag their feet with that zombie expression in their eyes.

My theory is that the shoes for fall are less cute and the outfits have somehow become all brown.

Why is it always brown for fall? It's do depressing. Now is the time to wear hot pink and turqouise (well maybe not, but something equally cheerful and bright).

Got to love the otters!

cyberpete - you know, with the current state of affairs in my office it would make sense that everyone was turning into zombies...

and you're right - we need more snazzy colors in our fall wardrobes. tomorrow we're busting out the purple tranny heels!
