Familiarity

While showing some work to a client today, I made a small, subtle joke. One of the clients, who had never met me before, then said "Classic Duncan."

How did he know!

Foraging

The Southern Greens salad mix at Trader Joe's tastes like going out to a field and eating whatever you find growing there

Normal People

A couple years ago I was invited to a Halloween party hosted by a friend outside of my normal social circle. A normal university student rather than a commercial art school student. Aside from reminding me that I don't socialize well when surrounded by people I don't know this event taught me (or reminded me of) something else. Normal People are not like My People.

Several exchanges went like this:
Them: "So who are you supposed to be?"
Me: "I'm The Shadow Man from Disney's The Princess and the Frog."
Them: "Hmm..." or "What?"

My costume was met with enthusiasm the next night at another friends party.

Two brilliant ideas I had at lunch today

1. Guavacado
2. Genetically modifying avocado to have preservatives in them.

Laundry

Remember, when in doubt it is a far better thing to wash clean clothes than to wear stinky ones

On Being Observant

Have you ever tried to click a clicker pen and stabbed your thumb with the nib, only to realize it wasn't a clicker pen, you were just trying to write with the wrong end?

No? Me neither.

Social

Bars and clubs are not my natural habitat. I will occasionally go for my friends, but I probably won't stay long. I get sensory overload and start spacing out, or in some circumstances become physically uncomfortable. So if I leave early, don't take it personally.
