Guess what guys? I got into my very first car accident (tm) today! It was on the way to my first day of work, too, which made it extra special. We were almost hit by a bus, but swerved and hit an SUV instead. The great part was that the friend of the woman driving the SUV was a cop, so all units were deployed pretty quick. We had 2 cop cars, 2 ambulances, and a fire truck at the scene, and it looked like part of 17th ave was blocked off. All for a little bloodless fender-bender and a busted headlight (ours; the SUV went away unscathed). The wonders of modern man.
So I missed work. But we phoned around and everything's all hunky-dory...for now.
I think my body's staring to reject fast food. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. Or maybe it's because of the McDonald's experience during my very first hangover (tm). But somehow, the taste of sugarbuns and hospital fries just doesn't tickle my fancy. It just leaves me with a brick in my stomach and a hole in my soul. BUT! while at the "restaurant" (Burger King, if you must know) I saw the Urban Santa Claus. He was a short man with a grizzled grey beard and eyepatch, and he was carrying a cane wrapped in silver garland. No-one could take their eyes off him as he moved silently and gracefully around the room, taking occasional swigs from his water bottle. He didn't say a word, but I think he left a lasting impression on everyone he passed. Urban Santa, I salute you.

I want to see urban santa. hey, i wonder what kind of presents urban santa gives? or what his elves look/act like. does he even have elves? maybe he has trolls, or pidgeons, or angry postal workers. that is everybody's new assignment, okay? brainstorm about the urban santa and his posse, so we can write a guide to spotting him. (would he even want that kind of attention? did his water come free?)
Hehe, thats spiff about the vehicular accident (well in a random kind of way, yes, I am stopping now)

hehe, yes good ol' fast food although somehow it was baby Hermy that couldnt stomach it (well McDonalds anyhow) and since the vegetarian options are rather limited/absent I dont have much experience these days.

were you deterred by the dead girl on my blog?
it's not like she was murdered, y'know.
i just find it interesting that she's still purdy. after 80 years. it's my scientific mind. (or so i tell myself.)
Well, Wulf, I myself was not deterred by the picture on your blog. I was just thinking it might be shocking to the strangers who might happen upon it. And yes, that's crazy that she remained so well-preserved after all that time. Was she frozen? Or something?
my body has done the same thing :D
