my dream last night

13 06 2008

 

 

I was out having dinner with my sister and father.  For some reason I decided to put on some roller-skates and hit up the skating rink down the street.  The roller skates weren’t mine; a friend let me borrow them. They stunk like shit and were crusty looking.  I put the roller skates on and skated to the rink.  When I get there I decided not to skate, but to look around their gift shop because I was amused by the little shitty gifts they had there.  I gave my roller skates to one of the ladies who worked there to hold for me while I “shopped” around.  I browsed and didn’t buy a thing.  I was ready to leave so I asked for my skates back. Some rude lady said I couldn’t have them back because someone had stolen the skates from them.  I begged, (I hate begging) and begged, and begged a little more.  I was extremely upset because I NEEDED to have them.  I didn’t get them so I left.  What I should have done is cursed at her, maybe raised my voice a little, and hopefully that would have coerced her enough to have her give them back.  I’m too composed to do that, even in my dreams.  Moral of the story is…there is no moral.  That was just my dream.

 

The skates looked something like this:

Introducing the flattest full size QWERTY keyboard to date, “No-key Keyboard” by Kong Fanwen. Consisting of just a glass surface, camera and lighting, this alternative keyboard concept will use the latest motion capture technology to watch your fingers nervously select just the perfect smiley for your online bantering.

 





The five-year-old who tattooed her father

13 06 2008

Some children have a passion for colouring, but five-year-old Emilie Darrigade took things a little farther when she inked in her father’s new tattoo at a busy studio.

Emilie etched the detailed picture of a bumble bee surrounded by a laurel crown on her father Dave’s forearm.

She chose the design herself because ‘Bumble Bee’ is her father’s nickname for her. Under the guidance of tattooist Robin Labreche at his studio in Montreal, Canada, Emilie filled in the black and yellow colour on the design as well as the green in the laurel.  Dave said: ‘Emilie was watching when Robin asked her if she would like to tattoo her dad by filling in the yellow in the bee.  ’Everyone who was in the shop came to see Emilie at work and were all amazed at her relaxed demeanour.’
