Some people, Nanita. Jeesh.

So goats like the, I think it was fish that New Orleans did, modeled after the I want to say cows of Chicago? You aren't doing this city-wide, are you JB? Because that seems like an enormous project.

Hey, since I am taking Fridays off this month my week is half over. That's good for my mood! And now I will watch Sleepy Hollow which will probably also help (note to autocorrect: the distinction between "probably" and "provably" is pretty important)

Dang, Nanita, that is supremely NOT okay. WTF.

I laughed at this because Twitter has me read "goat" as Greatest of All Time now. I forgot about one of my favorite animals!

When I was in Sydney, Australia, they did the colored bears. [link]

That is really fucked up, Nanita. (Still weird to see your government name on here!)

It's kind of weird to read it! But less weird than folks talking to a Java and it's not me! :)

And thanks for listening. Normally I am not super sensitive about comments on my weight but this person is SO annoying on so many levels. And when she brought those binders to my office and asked if she could go over them with me? It was SO WEIRD. And SO insulting. I mean, I do NOT know her. I see her five times a year in project meetings. So it's just so ludicrous that I am sitting here looking and feeling like death warmed over and she's loudly commenting on my body.

-t, mostl likely, yes, but we're only doing six goats, farmed out (hah) to six different artists. But what I was asked to do was different. We supposedly have a theme of "Grass Menagerie", I'm not quite sure what that means in relation to the goats, our farm to table theme, and the request that I make an animal topiary.

I don't know how to make one from scratch, I don't know where I can buy preformed shapes of a certain size to make my task easier (and will cost a ton of money in frame, sphagnum, and plants), and it's supposed to be temporary, so it's also a huge expense with no returns, especially if I do make it from scratch and someone wants to buy it: it'll most likely be so un-structurally-sound as to be non-transportable. I get the idea: shape chicken wire, stuff it with a vast amount of long-fibered sphagnum peat moss, plant with plugs from a wholesale nursery.

I'd rather buy one of the fiberglass goats, cut out the back and the top of the head, and turn it into a Chia pet.

There are bears along Church Street in Burlington like that. I think one of them is cut in half (I'm not sure I might be hallucinating).

Nanita I hate people like that, you were probably more polite about it than I would have been. I might have told her "Do not ever comment on my appearance again." (with Bitch! heavily implied at the end.

Anyone trying to confront me with nutrition binders would not get a polite response. Possibly a felonious response.

RIGHT?

some spiffy yellow glare-reducing glasses?

This saves me in airports / hotels / and around people who love really awful camera flashes. They look goofy but I'll take goofy over having to leave because I can only see rings of light or want to cut a hole in my head.
