self purgery

a few nights ago at the kennedy center we all saw legally blonde, the musical. rather amusing, to be honest, but of course if anyone asks I will deny all involvement and say I was at the opera.

faux pas

at neiman marcus the other day, hunting for a watch strap for mila. expecting blow-out economic stimulus prices, we enquired after some modest-looking watch bands in the display case:

"how much for those bands?"

"well, they start at about $150, and for the lizard we move to about $180, and then into the $200s for the alligator."

"and for the flizard?" I asked.

the woman did not reply. so much for trying to move merchandise in the face of an economic crisis.

unacceptable

I am pretty sure the apple cider I just got is really just hot apple juice.

font of knowledge

this doctor I was working with today has the sweetest business stationery I have seen yet from a doctor. killer typography. awesome cardstock. between patients he was all up in my grill about scaphoids or ligaments or something but I was really not paying any attention because all I wanted to know was what font he used for the lettermark.

p.s. doctor boss, obviously I was paying full attention and also did I mention I am in awe of your surgical expertise?

they call the operating rooms here "operating theaters." classy! too bad my fingers are so frozen that I cannot even blog.
