Well, there's lots of reasons, really, which I won't go in to at this time. But one reason that I love my job is that you just never know what the day may hold around here. For example, yesterday I spent 3 hours in a very interesting lecture on some pressing theological issues, followed by participating in a photo shoot which was intended to mimic the Beatles Abbey Road album, and then put together a powerpoint slide of pictures of people hoarding Pop Rocks and fart putty. Like I said... you just never know.
Speaking of Pop Rocks, that has got to be one of the weirdest inventions in modern culture. Seriously, I don't think we gave whoever invented those got nearly enough credit. You think he's rich? Still alive? I have a vague memory of Christina getting a Pop Rock in her eye in junior high. Did that really happen? I also remember her getting a blood vessel sucked out of her eye at the dentist by those sucking tubes they stick in the back of your mouth. Sorry if that grosses anyone out. It looks grosser in print than when you just say it. I don't know how this post has ended up on this subject.

I had a Ben & Jerry's flavor of ice cream once that had Pop Rocks in it. It was awesome! I've looked for it again, but they've discontinued it. I remember the packaging said "It fills your head with joyful noise." The United Way gives away Rock Star awards for outstanding achievement every meeting; one week they gave out Pop Star awards with the prize being Pop Rocks.
Technically the eye incident happened to a girl I knew at Camp Bandina but the blood vessel thing was all me!
You just gave me the willies.
I like Pop Rocks, though.
When do we get to see proofs from the photo shoot?
yikes.... let us all know the name of your dentist, chris! I love pop rocks... I had not seen them in forever, and I found some at walmart a few weeks ago. I gave them to my boys for being sweet in the store in lieu of skittles... Coby was not impressed... actually he was officially freaked out. It 'tickles my froat' he told me thru his tears. I think he swallowed them too soon! Anyways, he has opted for the skittles from then on.
