Random observations from your day

Grey is teh secksy.

[Semicolon]

  I'm getting quite a few gray hairs!  But they don't show much because they're very fine, like the rest of my hair,
   and far apart.  My mother at this age (47) was already significantly gray.  I still have a lot of brown hair. 

Yea for grey!
(there is no grey option in the Change Colour)

Yes, there is.

There was no traffic today in an area that's almost always full of it

Problems at the cinema yesterday--the right half of the curtain came loose and wouldn't close, once opened.

We spent most of the night fixing it, which involved building scaffolding on the proscenium and stitching the leather strap that had come loose from the sleigh that is supposed to pull the curtain along its tracks. Because I have a morning show, I've slept less than two hours since.

That's a great photo.

It is quite a lovely theatre.  I noticed the mermaid and turtle on the curtain.  Do they get cold?

[Pyraxis]

That is a beautiful curtain. My sympathies, nonetheless.

in awe ...


Is this your theatre?

Grey is teh secksy.

Nah.

As far as dead or diminished to veggy states (remember, I am old and most who I have ever known are already dead), the family of Greys with whom I grew up, has lost more by a fairly large margin.

To me, being Grey means dying too young.

Pete Seeger passed away at 94 years old

RIP with godspeed.

That appears to be a single shot flint (MOST LIKELY) or match lock weapon, NOT a shotgun.

Our, then sitting, Vice President "accidentally" shot his opponent with a shotgun to the upper chest. It did NOT take. The man survived. (Hell, he could not even do that right, FFS!) Doubt a more primitive weapon would assist him.

He should have tried the Governator Method.

Is this your theatre?

It is indeed.

It's a beautiful theatre, but now vandalised by its current owners. For fifty years, it was largely unaltered from its 1960 state--it was built in 1956 but modified for the Cinerama large-screen format, which is why the curtain tracks have that weird shape, to allow for a deeply curved screen.

More about the theatre here.

It's a musket.

My coworkers, unfortunately, are idiots. I'm sure they can't help it, but it's patently obvious that they are, in fact, idiots.

I need to locate the let off some steam thread and let loose.
