Funny house funny people

So MW had his dates confused and the Brazilian BBQ is tonight not last night. So, we ended up making our gingerbread house. Unfortunately, I can’t for the life of me figure out what I did with my camera. That may not be such a bad thing since our house is experiencing roofing issues and by now the interior is most likely flooded with icing. We knew we had a sliding roof last night, but this morning when we woke up we realized we had a huge skylight in the house. Other than that the decorations are fun and we had a great time making a mess. We laughed that the house did not come out better since we are not children decorating a gingerbread house. We obviously need some practice. As soon as I find my camera I will send a photo of the house with a roof slide.

I have not reported recently on the interesting people on the street. I saw a great one two nights ago that I wish I could have photographed. Use your imagination with this one. I saw a guy riding a small BMX kind of bike wrapped in tape. He was riding with a backpack on- not that exciting, but wait! You know when you buy something fragile how it comes with Styrofoam to protect it? Imagine you just purchased a new monitor for your computer. It has a square piece of Styrofoam attached to the front of it to protect the screen from breaking. Now imagine that same piece of Styrofoam placed over someone’s face framing it in and secured with rubber bands around the head. There was a perfect cut out around the face. I literally laughed out loud. What an interesting alternative to a helmet.

My other interesting man is the security guy downstairs who stands by the turn styles as everyone leaves the building. I see him almost every night, but it was not until recently that I realized he is very quietly, nearly whispering to each person who walks by, “goodnight.” Once I realized this I started to say goodnight back, and he always replies with a quiet, “thank you.” It is so funny in a sweet kind of way. I wonder how many people realize that he is whispering good night to them as they walk out. Even more interesting is that he is thankful when someone says goodnight back as if finally someone is paying attention.

The city is filled with interesting people…

I did not like the guy who was playing chicken with his bike as he flew past me trying to cross the street yelling “wake up ahhahahaha” That was frightening. I also did not like the guy who last night was screaming and cursing into his cell phone and flailing around last night. That is a little much to be entertaining.

I am sure I will encounter new people to report soon.
