Ugly Hair Day

When you have an ugly hair day, conventional wisdom says to put your hair into a ponytail or wear a hair accessory. The other option is to wear an invisibility cloak.

Scientists at UC Berkeley have taken a major step toward making Harry Potter’s disguise of choice a reality. They’ve engineered two new materials — one using a fishnet of metal layers, the other using tiny silver wires — that neither absorb nor reflect light, causing it instead to bend backward.
Quotation from Time Magazine

I’m fine but you’re obviously having a bad hair day.
Quotation from Buffy the Vampire Slayer (1992 movie)

Random Testing

It’s the day after Christmas. This is also a time when family violence increases. People are together more, amid the additional stresses of holiday spending and often alcohol. Don’t allow it in your life, or in the lives of your loved ones. Domestic violence is NOT acceptable, even at Christmas.

Call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) if you need help or shelter.

Cleanliness is Next to Godliness

Cleanliness is Next to Godliness

The receptionist in charge of the bathroom key got laid off some months ago, so I now possess my personal bathroom key, which is a huge improvement in my work environment. But last weekend, somebody broke into our building. We had to change all the locks, including the lock to the door of the bathroom. I am pleased to report the toilet remains safe and secure from intruders.

Some rise by sin, and some by virtue fall.
Quotation from William Shakespeare, Measure for Measure

When day broke, I used immediately to sweep my room out; and though I am by nature a lover of cleanliness, at that time I kept myself unusually spick and span. After sweeping up, I made my bed as daintily as I could, laying flowers upon it, which a Savoyard used to bring me nearly every morning. He had the care of the cistern and the casks, and also amused himself with carpentering; it was from him I stole the pincers which I used in order to draw out the nails from the holdfasts of the hinges.
Quotation from Benvenuto Cellini, Autobiography (on planning his escape from prison)

Streaked

Streaked

I want to feel special, needed, wanted and romanced.

Hiding in the shadows of a Capulet garden, Romeo wants to catch a glimpse of Juliet, who has his heart’s attention. Juliet appears on a balcony. Do you know what Romeo says?

“But soft! what light through yonder window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun!… Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, having some business, do entreat her eyes to twinkle in their spheres till they return.”

The point is: Pay Attention.

*Quote from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet
