Are you kidding? This would’ve been soooo much better than my golden cloud post. I LOVE white tigers. I’ve seen them in person. They’re cute. I’ll have to tell you about that time some other time as my bed does call.

This is a leftover remnant of a high school play I helped build. It was used in The Wizard of Oz and that’s real gold paint on there. Of course, being high school, the paint was watered down to get the most out of it. I actually still remember my high school theatre tech teacher (who just retired) painting these. This hangs over my bed so hopefully my dreams can float on clouds each night.   [ Read more ]

I brought home a big bag of recyclables from work today. As part of my attempt to do green things during the work day, I collected these items over the past week or so and I usually bring them home the night before trash day. However, they’d piled up so much that I needed to bring them home early. You can’t even see everything in the bag here but there’s a lot. All of which would’ve been thrown away since my company can’t recycle (We’re in a high-rise complex building and the building doesn’t have recycling set up yet. This is weird and concerning considering the building is in Chicago city limits and there are pretty good recycling programs in the city.) So I brought all my stuff and placed in the recycling bin. (Fortunately, the town I live doesn’t charge for recycling, just trash, so this effort is free too.)
