Thumbs Up, Thumbs Down

Things that made me smile today:

• An old van with porthole windows and an airbrushed scene of the ocean on it's side.
• A friend's newborn baby.
• A steak burrito.
• Typos in a class syllabus.
• A guy in the subway dressed in a black suit, black t-shirt, black sneakers, black ponytail, black earings, black shades, and a black fannypack.
  
• Using a page from the Internal Revenue Code to make an origami penguin.
• A couple dozen compliments on my shirt.
• A new phillips-head screwdriver with molded rubber grip.
  

Things that made me frown today:

• A subway car with no airconditioning.
• A woman poking me with her Swiffer mop.
• No chipotle sauce for my burrito.
• An airconditioning unit crashing to the ground outside my apartment in the wee hours of the morning.
• Guy next to me at the urinals feeling the need to strike up a conversation.
  

Things that made me squirm today:

• A friend's newborn baby.
• Stepping on the remains of a chicken dinner as I came out of the subway.
• Stinky cat-woman in the coffee shop.

Yep, school has started, so not much going on...
