Target: A Bullseye View

YES! Target (mecca, heaven, paradise) has launched a website "Meant to give Target loyalists a behind-the-scenes look at the company’s partnerships and events." How did they know I was yearning for such a thing? The site just launched, so it's a little light on content at the moment. I did get to learn a little more about Bullseye though:

His fourth favorite thing is to work.

In other news, only 12 months until Target comes to SF!

Mariachi

True story, once in grad school I had to call the cops on my neighbors. Keep in mind this is Davis at 3:00 in the morning:

Me: Hi, I'd like to make a noise complaint. I live at...etc, etc.

Davis Police: OK, what does the noise sound like?

Me: Mariachi music.

DP: ... excuse me?

Me: Mariachi music. They're playing the happy birthday song right now.

DP: Mariachi?

Me: Mariachi.

My neighbors had invited the local mariachi band to play in their apartment after the bar closed. Crazy. Mariachi doesn't do it for me. But you know who likes mariachi? Belugas:

So that's good. Remind me to tell you about my whale phobia someday.

Queen

The other day, Google celebrated Freddie Mercury's birthday with a google doodle. It was SO GREAT. Little known Christine fact: I love Queen. And here's my favorite:

The color of...

Pretty cool! This website aggregates photos that match your search to show you a composite, color identity of that search. Here are a few I did:

This makes me want to take another trip, and soon!

"3 guys, 44 days, 11 countries, 18 flights, 38 thousand miles, an exploding volcano, 2 cameras and almost a terabyte of footage..."

Muttville: Quincy

New month, new attitude. That's all I'm going to say about that.

Some of you have been wondering whether I still go to Muttville, and I'm happy to say yes! Kelly and Al are still around, but with summer haircuts. This is Quincy:

Quincy reminds me of Peg from Lady and the Tramp. He's sort of frowny here, but super sweet and a great walker. After I took this picture, I brushed him and he looked like a blond afro wig.

More Muttville pics to come, I promise.

Oh dear

I have been incredibly remiss in updating this. But you see, I'm in a dark place now. So it's hard to look up and out of my hole, although hipsterpuppies help.

Here's mini update. One that, I believe, serves both a real life example and metaphor for my life. See this train?




That's the train that was going to take me home for a dinner date with an old friend. It died. It. Died. While I was inside it no less! So instead, I am waiting on the opposite track with these other commuters for rescue. No more dinner date for me.

And here's a kiwi that was dropped in front of me.



Poor kiwi. Anyways, I'll be back when I'm a little more bouncy and shiny. Right now I'm...well, I'm empathizing with a kiwi. Eff.
