3D Life

Sometimes there is no explaining away the images that pass you by. Thankfully there exists a blog forum to share it all.
I know one thing for sure, I have a very interesting waking life.
I drove through the Olympic Village yesterday and it smelled of freshly baked bread. I don't know why, as from all accounts, there isn't a factory in sight. This went on for blocks and blocks... you could really taste the air. Then as I was stopped at a light, three butterflies, with distinctive stripes, fluttered past my windscreen (now that I think of it, they must have escaped from the "insect-arium" --> that's for all you South Park fans). In the afternoon, I had some minor surgery and was given some pretty interesting drugs. In my altered state, here's what I observed as I sat waiting for a cab... I looked up and I was on a street that I swear had no name (and no, that isn't my attempt at quoting the U2 song), I saw two really ugly people kissing and all I could think about was Gary Shandling and his rules on that ("you know who you are...stop that!"), then I spotted ants building a hill / home on a construction site and I am certain that the ant foreman was yelling at the workers...looked like there was a union negotiation going on, as all the marching had stopped at one point (good thing they weren't fire ants!), then there was the old couple that was trying to get into the medical building, canes on hand, and some students were pushing past them...the old man started to yell out in Yiddish and the kids screamed back in some language I couldn't make out (sounded slightly mocking and was more than likely made up),when all of a sudden, the man whacks one of the kids with his mighty staff...I was so taken aback, but burst out laughing.
Got in the cab and the music was so disturbing that I asked the driver to turn it off...he turned it down instead. Had THE bumpiest ride ever...he must have hit every pothole in the city and when I finally found my front door, I threw up!
