cast out


Cast out - It's tough being different

Recently I've been spending more time taking pictures and coming up with witty titles and captions for them on flickr. And I gotta say, it's been pretty fun. I love hiking around Lakeview in my trenchcoat, badass fingerless gloves (to aid in operating my camera), with camera around my neck, and occasionally tripod in tow.

This caught my attention one day while getting on the bus on my way to work. It's this ordinary-looking midrise about two blocks away from me, with nothing about it out of the ordinary save for one entire side is completely without windows. Except that one little guy. I wish I knew who decided to build it that way and why. It's just all sorts of curious

good idea, but it just never worked (for me)

You know what? For all their good intentions, I can’t stand soup spoons. No. I should clarify. I can’t stand using soup spoons. I understand the idea – to get more SPS (soup-per-spoonful) – but no matter how hard I try, I can’t ever seem to get all the soup out of the spoon, leaving me to wonder how much is soup and how much is spit. That’s gross. Who wants to put that back in their bowl of beef stew? I sure don’t.
