what's your favorite color?

pole mess

Colors applied today by the dumb nail what--stylist? polish applier? technician? blabber-mouth?-- were: "Sweet Heart" (ahhhh) for fingers and "Chick Flick Cherry" (mmm) for toes.

Is this your first time here? Do you live here? Did you grow up here? Where did you grow up? So where's your home town? Did you work today? So what were you up to? What's your major? So what are you going to do when you graduate? Are you going on vacation anytime soon? Where are you going? Where did you get that ring? Who gave it to you? When did you get that tattoo? How come you got it? Blah, di blah, blah blah...really HATE this kind of thing.

I had to finally say to the chick-a-dee, "Uh, I feel like I'm getting quizzed."

Hi, my name is Sacha and I'm a Scorpio, my favorite color is green, my lucky number is 2 (or is it 7?), and my goal in life is, or is it my favorite ice cream flavor, or most favorite slow dancing song...how does this go?

Finally she shut the eff up and I was able to read a highly entertaining New Yorker article about elevators.

Hi, my name is Sacha and I enjoy reading about elevators. While having my feet massaged. By a silent person.

"In most elevators, at least in any built or installed since the early nineties, the door-close button doesn’t work. It is there mainly to make you think it works. (It does work if, say, a fireman needs to take control. But you need a key, and a fire, to do that.) Once you know this, it can be illuminating to watch people compulsively press the door-close button. That the door eventually closes reinforces their belief in the button’s power. It’s a little like prayer. Elevator design is rooted in deception—to disguise not only the bare fact of the box hanging by ropes but also the tethering of tenants to a system over which they have no command."
