I got attacked by a mockingbird while walking into the hospital today. It really happened...no, I wasn't celebrating 4/20 early. It was a true Hitchcock moment.
I'm excited for you...cool! Does this mean you can help score good Broadway tix? I need to remember that next time I come up to NYC...I love good theatre!

What if one day you woke up and your nipples were completely gone, like no scars or anything, just flat skin; and then once you leave your room you find out that your dad died last night, and several days later you find out that for your entire life, he had been sneaking into your room while you slept and sucking on your chest to make two gigantic hickeys where your nipples should be, because you were born without them, not for any sexual reason, just so you would fit in.
I bought a new car today all by myself! ;D I usually take someone along to help with the negotiations but I think I got a really good deal...and I now have a Honda again! An Accord this time. Pick it up on Monday cause they still have to get it all ready...it's brand new has all the plastic on the everything...won't even let people test drive it! LOL! I am SOOO happy to get rid of my gas guzzling SUV and get something I can actually ENJOY driving!
I'm sure HoodooOperator's story is going to be much better than this, but here is my Thom Yorke story -
In 2006 I was on a first date at a restaurant in Toronto. In front of me (back to my date) was an elevated area with a group of tables and when I happened to look up, there was Thom Yorke sitting at a table by himself (maybe not by himself, but I seem to remember that). Of course I was freaking out a bit and told my date that THOM YORKE was sitting behind him, but... he had no idea who Thom Yorke was. He had never heard of Radiohead. A short while later Thom got up from his table and was heading to the bathroom when he stopped to talk to a waitress and was standing right beside our table. So now Thom Yorke is standing a foot from me and my eyes are huge and I'm gesturing as discreetly as possible for my date to look over. I figured if he had a better look he'd realize who Thom Yorke was. He did not.
Not wanting to annoy my date I didn't go on and on about Thom Yorke but I had to mention how excited I was to be seeing him in person. Then the date, whose name I can not remember, says it's too bad I'm not on a date with Thom Yorke instead.
following is a memo that was issued by the facilities director at the hospital where I work...I was "swooped" last week...although it startled me, I immediately knew what the deal was. Obviously there are others who didn't quite get it and thought that Mr. Hitchcock was at work.
Please inform your staff that we have nesting birds at the employee entrance that actively swoop down near the sidewalk. Like most animals, birds instinctively protect their territory, particularly during breeding time. They are protecting their nests, eggs or young from potential intruders. Most birds will swoop within 10-20 feet of their nest. If they perceive you to be a potential threat, they may swoop. The likelihood of an attack is increased if they are teased or feel threatened in any way.
Tips to protect you self:
1.Know your local swooping hotspots (EMPLOYEE ENTRANCE)
2.Avoid the area. The best way to protect your self from a swooping bird, is to avoid venturing into their territory. You may use the main entrance if you do not feel comfortable entering the employee entrance.
3.Move quickly. If you must pass through the area – move quickly – do not run.
4.Cover your head. Wear a hat or carry a stick or umbrella above your head.
5. Do not harass wildlife. Don’t interfere with or throw stones at birds. This gives them added reason to see humans as a threat and may increase swooping behavior.
6.Do not destroy nests. This may prompt birds to rebuild their nests, prolonging the swooping behavior.
7. Don’t feed swooping birds.
8. Travel in a group. If possible, try to travel in a group in areas where there are swooping birds.
9. Notify others. Put up warning signs for others who may not be aware that there are swooping birds in the area.
It is unlawful to kill birds, or to interfere with their nests containing eggs or young without a permit or authority. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
