Vanity Plates

I think vanity plates are ridiculous. Seriously. I once had a friend whose mother drove a Jag, and the license plate said something like "purrrfect." Dumbest thing ever. Just saying. So imagine the fun Soph and I had when we saw this driving home today:


We first ran into it at a stoplight, where we spent a couple minutes debating whether it was a reference to Harry Potter or Neo. Then, as the light turned green and they started to drive away, we decided that it should be the picture of the day, and tailed them for awhile trying to get a clear picture. Lucky for us, they were going in the same direction and we hit another red light :)

Pink Poodle

Yesterday was rainy and gross, yet again. My youngest sister, B, got to go to an indoor waterpark while Sophie and I entertained ourselves. We ended up at the Pink Poodle, a local consignment store. Some of the things we kind of cool, but mostly we just found weird stuff. Like these strange fish shoes:


Yeah. Cool stuff, right? When the shoe moves, it looks like the fish move. Another great find? The Ruby red hooker heels. Which, for right now, aren't uploading correctly. So perhaps you can see them later.

Edit:
It finally looks like I can post the ruby red hooker heels, so here they are in all their sparkly red glory:


Alternatively, they'd probably also work well in some type of Rocky Horror Picture Show-inspired costume.

Strange model solar system

Way on the edge of campus, there's a building where all of the art people live. It's the Arts & Communication building, and the basement is kind of like a dungeon. Ben spends gajillions of hours on end there, because he's taking a printing class and everything pretty much has to be done in the building.
Anyway, this afternoon my boyfriend/ Ben's roommate Jon and I decided we would take a field trip and do some of our work in the dungeon with Ben. The printing room didn't have much free table space, so we ended up in the 3D room, where we found this:


I feel like we'll have to study there more often, if only so I can explore the different projects they have displayed. It was pretty cool, and sort of made up for being in a dungeon.
