a miscellany of miscellanea

Torontonians are hilarious. On the streetcar this morning I sat next to a guy who had a great big shiner. The whole car was full except for the space next to him.

I remember that nobody would sit next to me on the bus when I had the racoon mask from breaking my nose. It's like they think facial injuries are contagious or something.

There is a tailoring/repair shop near my house called "Blvd of Broken Seams". It makes me grin every single time I see it.

**************
Apparently Vanilla Ice is in town. Yet more evidence that the 80's are once more upon us.

**************
A new pet store opened not far from my house. They immediately got my attention by filling their front window with stacks of tanks and filling each tank with multiple baby beardies crawling around and jumping all over each other. I melt.

**************
I've decided I want my mohawk back. So I am buying a wig to wear at work. Who all knows lots about wigs?

Baby beardies are adorable. That is the truth.

Wigs.

If you know anyone who's Orthodox, ask around for the name of a good Shaytl Macher. A better product than you're likely to find in a regular wig store....

Re: Wigs.

Oh good idea. I'll look into that.

I know absolutely nothing about wigs. But there was a huge wig store in San Francisco a long time ago, and they had this wonderful poofy Edwardian women's wig (the kind of hair do Katharine Hepburn wore) in bright blues and greens. I really wish I'd bought it.

99% of the time, the entire bus will fill, and then fill again with people standing, except for the seat next to me, which will remain empty. I think people also think that fatness is contagious. Or some other possible, even less happy-making interpretation.
