I tried, Maxie.  I tried so hard.  I tried so hard to find a way to say tigers are better than sharks. Tigers are better than sharks… in cartoons. I thought about every cartoon tiger I could remember because, as you all probably know by now, that’s how this brain I’ve got works. I came [...]

Remember the part in Aladdin when Genie laments his “phenomenal, cosmic powers” in an “itty, bitty living space?” Well, I imagine that’s what it’s like being vertically challenged; not short, mind you, but really, really short; like, maxing-out at under four feet.

It was somewhere around 4pm yesterday that I remembered the photo I had snapped the day before. If you’ve ever been aboard Metro’s red line between Gallery Place and Metro Center, you’ve noticed that the inner walls of the tunnels feature fragmented, flip-book-like advertisements.

Today, 20SW asked us who our favorite fictional character was. Now, even if you’ve only been reading this blog for the pictures, or you’ve only seen my avatar affixed to comments on your blog, my choice should be pretty obvious.

Be wherrwy, wherrwy qwiett.  I’m hunting wabbits.
