    I've been playing the violin more. My main instrument is the (upright) bass, which I've played since high school, and play pretty well. I like the violin better because it's more portable, but I'm not very good. I play a Bulgarian violin, 7/8 (a "ladies" violin) made in 1999 by Pavlina Todorova. I do all right in first position, but shifting is hard for me. I guess I just need to practice more.:(

    I'm in love with my new silicone liner brush. My eyeliner finally looks perfect.

    Almost time for the next round of work, yay! (I volunteered mind you)
    I am sending out a song dedication for this "weekend" to "I can sleep when I am dead". Not checking if that is the proper name of the song, I just remember hearing that pop country recording a few years ago

    Many thanks for the HB wishes!

    We killed a few hours before my/our early BD dinner hitting a few resale shops. I came home with ONE book, while my wife came home with a shirt, a pair of shoes, a book, & some Beanie Babies.

    Some years back, I was driving eastbound on I-96 near Milford, Michigan, during a snowfall. Up ahead, standing on the median edge of the westbound lanes, I saw what looked like a dark rectangular monolith. What was that?

    It turned out to be the bottom of a minivan, which was standing straight up, in the process of rolling over, in exquisitely slow motion.

    By the time I came even with it, it landed on its roof, little wisps of steam rising from the chassis, the people inside hanging upside down in their seats. There was zero damage that I could see.

    I tend to think of a (car) rollover as being over the side, like a dog rolling over. This one was end-over-end.

    I once saw a minivan either hit or get hit (couldn't tell because of the angle) by an 18 wheeler. It went across five lanes of rush hour traffic and smashed headfirst into cement wall. I pulled over, as did several other drivers. The woman driving the MV was very pregnant, third trimester. I later found out from the insurance company investigator that she & the baby were fine.

    Years earlier along the same stretch of freeway I saw a PU lose its left rear tire. It rolled & bounced across four lanes of northbound traffic, bounced over the wall in the median, went across five lanes of southbound traffic, then across three lanes on the feeder/frontage road. This happen at about 3:30pm, just as rush hour traffic was starting to buildup; amazingly the tire didn't hit any vehicles.

    Fancy?

    It was probably your pants that earned the wink. ;)

    It's cool to drool when you're a fool, but not when you're in the pool at school wearing wool.

    I'm actually a little glad that everyone, save one supervisor, forgot what day it is.
    It made the whole day so much easier.

    There was just a full double rainbow outside.

    Not end to end, but one full rainbow, with another full rainbow that was larger above/outside it. Cool beans.
