Does anybody else see a cartoon dog face drifting into the logo at around 0:05?

Hey, #NSA, I just took another picture by mistake.


Gosh darn this new cellphone anyway.

Oh, and by the way, we've got a new #PhoneSystem at work starting today. All of a sudden, we don't have to dial 9 to get out. Well, I've been dialing 9 for an outside line for about 8 years now, so when I called Mary today, I [STUPID! STUPID! STUPID!] dialed 9 and then her number. Now my phone thinks I'm trying to call #Afghanistan. Dialing code: 93.

I would like to state, for the record, that this was a mistake. I don’t know anybody in Afghanistan, I have no reason to call there....I’ve said too much. Oh my God*, I hope I haven’t said too much.

Last night, there was a #DRONE hovering outside my window, with the single glowing red eye, the hunched shoulders, a sudden silencing of all ambient sound and everything. No visible #GUN #TURRETS on this model, thank goodness!

Pareidolia

Somebody punched a hole in the men’s room wall at work:

IMG_9144

It’s been there a while now.  I kind of like it.  It looks like a sleepy cartoon eye.

 

I took a picture of the hole:

IMG_9146e cropped & sized, unrotated

 

…and printed it out.  I taped the picture to the wall where the other eye would go:

IMG_9302

…so I guess the caption of this picture must be,

“Go ahead, pee in my mouth, everybody else does.”

This pattern persists in an unspecified puddle in the garage. I like its shape. I’ve tagged this “pareidolia” on a technicality.

Happy Sink



Happy Sink, originally uploaded by dumbeast.
The faucet handles on our bathroom sink have these sharp angles on them. (Photo of uncovered handles here.) I've got a permanent sore on the inside of my left middle finger from turning on the hot water. So today I got a scrap innertube from Bay Area Bikes, cut a couple sections from it, and fitted them over the handles. Nicely cushioned grips. Now the sink is happy! Thanks, Bay Area Bikes!
