A Funny Thing Happened at the Grocery Store

Nikki — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 01:32:43 +0000

I came across something really odd yet interesting tonight as I was at the supermarket. I was at the cheese section, looking for some Gouda when I picked one up to read the label and check the price.

Normal, right?

Then I picked up another one.

See it? Keep going.

Song lyrics!

Crazy, no?? I live for moments like this.

Strap-on

This strap-on handle that you get when you buy bulky things from Muji stores is just genius.

We’ve just come full circle, haven’t we?

Postal Children

Did you know… that they used to send kids through the post??

“This city letter carrier posed for a humorous photograph with a young boy in his mailbag. After parcel post service was introduced in 1913, at least two children were sent by the service. With stamps attached to their clothing, the children rode with railway and city carriers to their destination. The Postmaster General quickly issued a regulation forbidding the sending of children in the mail after hearing of those examples.”

Spanish Steps

I saw this photo on the “How to talk to Strangers” page on Brooklyn Brainery, and thought it had the most amazing feeling to it.

And for all your information, I got in touch with Christine Zenino, the photographer. She said this is in Rome at what’s called the Spanish Steps. It makes me want to be there.

Sarah Kay: If I Should Have A Daughter

This is an amazing spoken word piece by poet Sarah Kay, performed at TED. My favorite line?

“Remember…you are the girl with small hands and big eyes who never stops asking for more.” Remember that good things come in threes and so do bad things. And always apologize when you’ve done something wrong. But don’t you ever apologize for the way your eyes refuse to stop shining. Your voice is small, but don’t ever stop singing.

Today’s toodle took place end of day Monday, right before I started heading home from work. This should be easy, no?

Clouds Passing By

Saturday afternoon, staring up at the sky from the living room. Clouds move fast in San Francisco.
