I'm repeatedly amused at the ways people misunderstand vegetarianism. There's a chip wagon down the street from my house and the other day I decided to run out for some hot, vinegar soak fries.

As the Fringe is less than two weeks away and as opening approaches, I'm struggling to keep from feeling overwhelmed and frantic.

The stores were getting ready to open. At one store, a female clerk was dragging racks of merchandise towards the promenade and I couldn't help but notice her outfit: ( Read more... )

Today is the second day in a row that I've happened upon someone nonchalantly peeing on a public street. The guy I saw this morning appeared to be waiting for a bus.
