Just returned to home office hovel (aka Photo Explosion or Celluloid Cave) after disseminating smiles and prints far & wide. Was sent on a wild exurban goosechase to shoot a restaurant not listed in any phonebook and out in the next county, miles from rows of chains which seemingly soothe spirits of suburbanites. Finally found the freaking place and it was closed - a nice shot of their signage will do. They also had a wreath on their door discreetly covering the name of what the restaurant had previously been called.
Nutshell: chasing down silly restaurants for pithy moola I need like I need a bottle of Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum.
While driving I heard news items via an AM NPR station:
1. Our country has a shadow government and it's staffed, loaded and ready in the event of what the announcer called "the worst." And their super-secret front door is allegedly published on the internet.
2. Scientists have discovered that acetone + electrified bubbles = a neato new way of making nuclear power.
Imagine the fun at slumber parties throughout the land when teenaged girls, bored with nail painting, rig up curling irons and the like to bottles of nail polish remover.
Listening to the brand new song - "Here is Gone"- by the Goo Goo Dolls coming out of the conspiracy theory-free rock station and it's so not great. " Pollution in me ," wow. When I logged on to AOL they claimed, erroneously, that they had the exclusive priviledge of offering a sneak listen.
Stick to blogs for news today.
Wow, the radio station is playing the Goos' song again.
Today = strange day.
