like a moth to a flame

i swear all i am trying to do is walk down the street and mind my own business, but i attract crazy people. today, i was on my way to benevolence cafe (again). dan had to stay home to wait for his new projector to be delivered, so i was by myself. some truck (decorated with nascar flags) going the other direction shouts “hey!” since i don’t know anyone in columbus, i keep walking, but he is persistent and yells again. this guy is about 50 and he asks, “do you know where the modeling agency is?” and boy let me tell you, he was NOT model material. i think he was trying to pay me a compliment in some backwoods type of way. so, i told him that i just moved here and i don’t know where anything is (read: leave me alone). then, he asks (and i am NOT kidding), “are you hillary clinton’s daughter?” he has a big wicked grin like he was giving another compliment. so i just said no and kept on walking, but then i got to thinking… chelsea clinton? that is an insult! i mean, hillary’s my girl and all, but i do not want to look like her or her daughter.

here are some pictures i took on the walk home…

this is the “welcome to italian village” sign. you can also see a mural on the building. italian village is just one section of the short north and the short north has quite a few cool murals. here’s another one.
to the left of the picture, you can see my beloved jeni’s splendid ice cream! no, i did not get any tonight.
this is just one of the many arch ways that run down the main street (high). they look neat at night.

well, i guess that’s it for tonight. class was great again today. so far so good! oh and i decided to change the color of my blog. now it looks more scarlet and gray… go bucks!
