Megan brought these fancy gummi-worms into work on Wednesday. In the bowl, they looked like Cheetos at first glance, and some of them appear to be burnt to a crisp. Cognitive dissonance ensued, and then we all had a good laugh, and then it turned out that the black ones stain your fingers and lips, and then, oh what larks, Pip, m'lad. What larks!

Somewhere in the tube, we stopped and these snotcicles were hanging off the fluorescent tube, right outside the window.

Flayed Building Skin


Flayed Building Skin, originally uploaded by dumbeast.

The plastic wrap that's encased the new block of condos at the corner of 14th & Jackson began to fall apart last week. It was blowing all over the neighborhood. Eventually, the building wrap company sent a team out to clean it up, and they gathered the plastic into these bundles, which they semi-melted into blobby bales and after a while, trucked away.

It's been mysteriously cladding this new block of condos for over a year, and now it's sloughing off all over the neighborhood. Gee, thanks, Capitalism!
