Or, actually, Thursday was weird. Gremlin covered some of that, including the video.

It started with shoes. Gremlin apparently needed a new pair, because...I don't know. So I ordered them from Zappos.com, and, as mentioned over in his post, we went for a walk.

That, in itself, was fairly ordinary. The walk, I mean. Except for the shoe, which was weird. Some kid lost the same sort of shoe I'd just ordered. Almost. Different colour. But same brand.

I'm not making anything of it; I'm just commenting that it was kinda weird to see a perfectly good shoe just sitting there in the middle of the sidewalk. I wonder if the parent noticed, eventually.

While Gremlin was getting his hair cut, I sat there trying to drown out the overly-loud, inane bullshit conversations that all the other stylists were having with their victims with my iPod. It turns out that the sountrack for Beautiful Katamari does not overpower these things as well as I'd hoped. I was stuck listening to a conversation about how someone's little kid might be autistic, because mommy and daddy getting haircuts sends the child into fits of terror.

This tells me something about why there are suddenly five out of three kids being diagnosed as autistic these days. I remember hearing stories about how I had issues whenever one of my close family members got a new hairstyle, or new glasses, or new facial hair. That's not really autistic, that's just being a child. Sorta like how spazzing like a ferret after three gallons of coffee isn't ADD, it's just being a child. Let's stop giving kids illnesses just because they act like kids.

...now, if they insist that their shoelaces be run through the holes in an exact way, there might be something wrong with them.

And while we're on the subject of kids and wrongness, the quarter-eating junk machines are getting seriously fucked up. Glow Crosses? And that thing next to it, with the unfortunate glare? That really says 'Bling'.

I guess it's good to know where all those people wearing that shit are actually getting it, right?

Then there was the Pizza Delivery Car Tail Fin Sharky Lookin' Thing. I think I'm going to end with that, for now. There's more, but I think they might actually deserve their own posts, and I'm a little over-progressed.

See, I actually got some stuff done yesterday, after we got back. It didn't have anything to do with my site, though, so it doesn't really matter. Unless you count the pictures I uploaded from July 4th, and the at least 100 pictures of a sunset from the same walk I was just talking about....

I have to clean up a lot of the lines, figure out where some floaty black bits are, and erase them. Fix the whiskers. Finish the nose. Stuff.

...but the eyes are done, and I like them.
