My friend arranged for a henna artist to be at her sister's bridal shower. I love love love the work that she did on me and everyone else. My next mission is to convince my very artistic friend to learn henna, so I can get it done on a regular basis.

I ocassionally encounter my former employer's former vehicles. The unique striping makes them pretty easy to pick out. I always wonder who has them and why. This on appeared at the farmer market on campus today, obstensively for transporting goods.

How I spent my day, originally uploaded by firemaplegirl.

There is a police 'incident' occurring around my house so I've been trapped in the house for about four hours. Most of that time has been in the bathroom since it's the only room without windows. I really really want out of here.

Just got picked up in a pimped out limo. On the one hand it's really sweet, on the other it seems like an overly extravagant way to get to the airport.

Some may call this squeaking in just under the deadline. I prefer to think of it of just-in-time production of the perfect application. Whatever it is, I'm relieved that it's done - and that I'm very close to being finished with all of my apps.

The sunset last night was absolutely gorgeous. The sun was illuminating the clouds from underneath, and at one point it looked like the sky was upside down. Camera phone shots from a moving vehicle can't do it justice.

I wish I was able to use electronics during the first few minutes of the flight. The sunlight on the Columbia is absolutely gorgeous. You'll just have to take my word for it though.

Sitting in Cramer waiting for my Econ classroom, I looked up and
spotted this sign. I'm not quite sure why it's there, which makes it
all the more intriguing.

In person, this vehicle is clearly dedicated to Ohio State. From the photo, it's much more ambiguous, so I'm going to pretend it's rooting for the better OSU.

My helmet after the ride home from school. It is fairly water repelent, so you can imagine what my clothes look like, especially since I didn't have my raincoat. Thank goodness I'm not wearing a white t-shirt!

I'm a little confused as to why a package would go from Pheonix to Kentucky when it's enroute to Portland. Surely UPS has a PNW regional hub. Then again, almost anything sent FedEx visits Memphis, so who knows?

Unhelpful Hints

Unhelpful Hints, originally uploaded by firemaplegirl.

1) This sign is visible only after you have parked your car and are in the stairwell. 2) Rarely are there multiple open spots in the structure: you are lucky if you happen to catch someone leaving. 3) On the rare occasions that you do have a selection of parking spots, the structure is so dead that you don't need to worry about it. 4) There are no pedestrian walkways in the darn structure.

Mixed Tape

2008-09-30T19:05:00.000-07:00

My car has no cd player, as a result I end up listening to a lot of radio. However, the radio was really annoying me today. I have a few cassettes to use for these instances. I've listened to The Clash tape quite a bit lately, so I was ready for a change. I looked at my tapes and found this:
Mixed Tape, originally uploaded by firemaplegirl.

Yeah, that's a mixed tape circa 1994. It's complete with the clicks between tracks where the tape was paused and restarted. I'm not quite sure what my teenage brain was thinking when I put it together. Artists on it include: Aerosmith, Tori Amos, Stone Temple Pilots, Bon Jovi, Gin Blossoms, Jewel, Boyz II Men, Garth Brooks, Joan Osborne, All 4 One, and Selena. That's a pretty eclectic group, and the tracks don't seem to be in any particular order. The really interesting part: I owned all of those albums at that point on time!
