Stinky Sticks!

We know now, for future reference, that we do not light eight sticks of incense and place the holder on the shelf beneath the smoke detector. I can also now be sure that even if I go suddenly deaf in my sleep, Flaster rushing about in a panic will awaken me should the apartment catch fire.

People are stopping to take pictures of the 'Senator Craig' toilets. I prolly would too, to be honest.

I got a pair of Converse All Stars. They're the old-fashioned sort of sneaker, with canvas tops and a thin flat rubber sole. They're way comfortable. When I was little, this is what everyone wore, except that it was generally Keds or Red Balls. I haven't had these since like eighth grade or so, when everyone started wearing the thick, rounded sole 'running shoes'. I always had Kangaroos, with the 'roo logo on the side, and the velcro fasteners :)

When I was about 8 or 9, it was fashionable to draw stuff like swastikas, pistols, skulls, and bloody daggers on the rubber toe cap of one's sneakers. If a kid did that today, of course, the school'd have the police haul him away, certain that they'd narrowly averted a 'tragedy'.

I may draw Kangaroos on my toe caps :)
