is there life on mars?

for some reason i became totally addicted to bowie's life on mars this morning. however i don't own any bowie, let alone this particular track. this is not because of my poor taste, but because of the "if your roommate owns this then you can save your money" phenomenon. why i haven't remedied it in all these years probably stems from the "i can just google it when i need to hear it" phenomenon. because of these two things, and the new-found addiction, the music video for life on mars (which i found on youtube, but stupidly can't embed here - thanks record labels) has been playing all morning. i'd say i was driving randall crazy, but he's escaped into his DS so that he can fully ignore me.

while watching the video, i thought it would be fun to recreate bowie's eyemakeup. i'm not sure why, (1) what do i know about makeup and (2) do i even own any makeup? --- the answer to 2 is apparently yes and the answer to 1 is not much. but, since the makeup was still out from last night's wolf getup, i figured why not. and while i don't have the huge dilated pupil like bowie, i do have a freckle in mine, and that's gotta be worth something.

ps. can't waits to see the jujubee later!

pps. since i can't embed the video, i have included the inspirational still.

ppps. i was hoping this could be my new karaoke jam, but i can't quite make it to mars.

this morning (which was lost to the quarterly wtf was i thinking i can't drink coffee without going crazy cup of coffee) was delightfully warm. it was also a crazy ghosttown feeling (what is everyone sick or out of town?). because of these two things melissa and i decided we should actually take a lunch and eat outside. we ended up grabbing sandwiches and headed over to the park 3 blocks away. here is where i was insulted by a crazy homeless guy wearing a conference badge.

he approached us and asked if we were planning on eating our entire lunches, and if we weren't could we leave him some. we told him we thought we'd eat our whole lunch, and then he left us to bother the girl on the next bench. about 20 minutes later, he came back to see how we were doing on the lunch. we told him that yes we were eating it all and if we weren't we'd let him know. he didn't leave, instead he yelled at me, "so what, you're going to wolf that all down?!"

yes sir, i was going to wolf it all down.

ps. if you could not tell, this is my 10:30pm after beeroclock and dinner out wolf makeup. pretty convincing don't you think?

pps. why do i think i need to invest in a pair of fake pointy teeth?
