i just saw two really neat things

[minxnim]

(1) the UPS guy was outside and his nose was so red it made me giggle and then he was like 'it's not funny!' like he totally knew what i was laughing at.

(2) i was made privy to how they change the lightbulbs on the really high ceilings here (with a long stick with a plunger thingie on the end of it)

those lightbulb changer thingies are neat!

i totally saw the guy go in the building with the plunger thingie and i was like 'whoa, wtf is that thing!?!?' and i followed him and waited for him to spring into action with it. i need one b/c our apartment has high ceilings and i am short and spent perilous amounts of time balancing on one foot trying to change our hallway light bulbs.
