I Did It Again...

I heard about the male model who's been used in an ad campaign for push-up bras, so I searched the Internet a bit and found an article in Slate about him.

Kind of cool and weird and fascinating....

...but when reading the article I noticed they referred to another lingerie ad campaign in Korea using a male rapper, "to hock its goods" (sic)

I actually set up an account so that I could leave a comment. Seriously, do they not have editors any more? Do they just use spell-check and leave it at that?

I know, no one cares, and no one has left a comment on it for a month, so they really don't care, but I just can't seem to help myself.

Rant over.

On Being a Caricature of Myself

I (correctly) anticipated a problematic Monday morning today, so on my way to work stopped at Caribou for a treat. I like checking out the trivia question (actually, more than that, I hate not knowing the answer to the trivia question) when I stop by.

Today’s was easy…something like, “What city was Nemo going too in Finding Nemo?”

This is how the exchange went in the shop:

Me: Medium latte with skim…the city was Sydney and to should have only one “oh”

Young man at the counter: (to the Young woman at the espresso machine): It’s Sydney and to should have only one “oh”

YMatC: (to Me) Are you a teacher?

Me: No, a librarian

YMatC: (bursts out laughing)

YWatEM: My high school English teacher would be really unhappy with me…

Me: (smile/grimace)
