So, I’m sitting on the bus this morning, reading my book, minding my own business, when a woman walks up to me and says “excuse me.” I’m not sure what I said in response, since when I’m reading, I kind of tune out the rest of the world… Likely something like “yes?” anyway.

She says “I just thought I’d tell you that I really like your selection of shirts and ties”

Huh?

Kinda out of the blue, but a nice complement to my <*ahem*> keen fashion sense <*ahem*>

I said “thank you” and she got off the bus.

It’s a lot better than being told that I look like a lawyer (which happened to me one time while I was waiting for the bus)

Don’t know what else to say about it.

So, last night (July 4th, which means nothing to those of us in Canada :P) I was watching Junkyard Wars. They had the “Junkyard World Series” on, where the US champions went against the UK champions in a car crushing competition. It was a good episode, both teams had good machines that managed to work, but unfortunately all the suspense was taken out of it due to the fact it was running on July 4th. I can’t imagine any network that would intentionally re-run the US getting beaten on July 4th. I mean, ABC/ESPN wasn’t re-running the Olympic Gold medal hockey games…so despite the fact that I thought the UK team’s machine was a better design (if it worked, which it did) I knew the whole time that the US was going to win, which kind of ruined it a bit.
