1. I joined a group on Facebook called Crustacean Memes for Crabby Fiends.
I love when a someone invents a pleasant but irrelevant meme and out of nowhere it catches on and then it becomes its own thing. That is how we got Reginald.
Seems pretty innocuous. But he seemed to touch people’s hearts and a Life of Reginald was born.
Update: The Crustacean fan group is at war with the Ant fan group! And now the Snail fan group is getting involved!
2. When I worked at Publicis I walked past the H&M store on Fifth Avenue. Their window displays were well-designed. However, there are always choices made that are, I don’t know, odd. Counter-intuitive. Allow me to present you with an example.
Wrapped gifts! How nice. Oh, ice skates and a robot!
And a globe! Globes are a great gift. So round and informative.
Wow, a motorcycle!
Musical instruments!
And an enormous cactus. In a bathtub. Wrapped. Like gifts.
That threw me for a loop every time I saw that.
Also in the Rockefeller Center is a Cole Haan store. Cole Haan is pleasant, I loved a purse they had twenty years ago and I loved their summer lobster flip flops a couple years back but that’s pretty much it. Again with the however, they were doing some all-over approach with spikes and I am here for it.
Those shoes are great. If they come in black I will struggle not to buy them. So minimal but then spikes.
3. I don’t know what I’ve clicked on to get Facebook to get these news articles but I am a-okay with it.
4. Billie Eilish is a musician that’s very popular right now. Someone did a cover of one of her songs on a variety of pumpkins and I might like it better than the original.

5. I saw a man walking his chicken on a leash in New York. It was a very good-natured chicken.
6. And finally, at first glance I was CONVINCED this was someone massaging legs that were horribly broken in a car accident, not someone making bread.
