Is It a City or

is it the one hour photo machine? >:)

I had to go around the store taking random photos today (yeah I know, such a stretch from what I normally do :p) cuz we had to make sure the machine was working. Well, one of the shots I took turned into one of THE strangest photos I've ever taken. If you look at it one way, it looks like a door opening up into a city street, with a bus or something going by and a building in the background. But, as you can probably guess from my title, if you turn it rightside up, it's just the one hour photo machine! I might try scanning it in on Wednesday, cuz it actually is really cool. Not one single person I worked with guessed what the picture was of until I turned it around! haha

In other news, I developed my pictures today (luckily BEFORE the machine starting eating peoples' negatives!) and yeah, the scanner is getting some exercise on Wednesday, hehe. Unfortunately, every picture of me turned out like crap (double chins? uh, no) so I'll continue being not-myself on Facebook til further notice.

In *other* news, I should probably wash part of the kitchen floor. Someone here knows why, haha.

Finally, in the "things only I am interested in" file. . .

You already know how I got all up in arms over the recent Sweeney Todd revival because of how they totally changed around the way the show's done, etc. etc. Well, apparently this same director is doing a similar reconstructed version of Company-- it's currently playing in Cincinnati and has gotten excellent reviews. I actually think having the actors play instruments *could* work in that particular show and if it ever comes to Broadway, it's something I'd *strongly* consider seeing.

And lastly, glad I wasn't at the VI Horse Show this year. According to several people from a message board I read, a girl's horse lost its footing as it was landing from a jump, flipped over, and as he was trying to get back on his feet, stepped on his rider's *neck.* Anyone that's ever had a horse step on one of their *feet* knows how painful THAT is. . .O_o Although the girl broken a bunch of bones and had a lot of internal injuries, she's actually doing okay now and even wrote a short note to everyone on the message board since so many people were concerned. I've seen some bad falls and incidents in my many years around horses (ie. the lady that got kicked in the knee. . .O_o;;;;) but anyone that rides seriously knows that it's a gamble. Hell, it's like driving a car in that if you worried about everything that could go wrong, you'd never leave your house. I got a decent chunk of $$ back from taxes and I'm considering taking some riding lessons again. I haven't decided if that's definitely what I'm going to do, but it's not secret that I miss riding.

And hopefully my neck won't ever get stepped on. Gah.

Oh I see how it is, you don't have to post any pictures of yourself but you get to post 10,000 crazy pictures of me! I'm almost sure that one I snapped of you in the hallway came out alright, it had to! haha.

Sorry about the floor but the soda incident was not my fault! It was that cursed robo worker replacement that decided not to accept my Strawberry soda and knocked it over. It was clearly a plot on the part of the machines to announce their impending takeover of society, you would know this if you had seen The Matrix lol ;)

Well, um, thank you for that random story, haha. Sorry to hear about your plight. I've never been one for shakes, in fact I usually just bring a bottle of water when I eat at fast food places cuz I don't even like having the standard soda with my order. Plus, I don't drink a whole lot, so even a small sized cup is too much for me, and a waste of money. I used to just have sips from Rich's drink, since we'd usually go together. :p

And I will try posting that picture. I managed to fool several more people at work yesterday, so I hope it'll come out as well once I scan it. If not, you'll just have to see it in person!
