Lots of backyard greenery going on here… I love this little oasis! Especially the flower boxes on the very upper railing. Good place to sit and have a cup of morning tea.

get to the point May 14th, 2010

   

So how funny is this sign? It definitely has a little bit of a ransom-note feel to it, with the mixing of all the various sized letters and spacing. Maybe it’s just me… but I think I’d rather have the occasional recyclable(s) in my driveway than having to look at the words on this sign every day. NO DUMPING. I mean, isn’t this information already implied by the rules of being a good human being and refraining from putting junk in your neighbors driveway??? They should have at least implied some sort of fine or penalty for breaking these rules, like “Our dog will bite your leg if you dump boxes here.”

   

The people who leave trash in random places are the kind of people who don’t obey signs anyways. These same people who have been leaving mattresses in our alleyway — 3 including a set of bed springs in the last two weeks — and I’m pretty sure that a “no mattresses” sign wouldn’t have changed anything, besides clogging the visual landscape with another sign.

   

Now if you’ll excuse me while I go listen to some Tesla.

It’s just one of those days. Your wagon tips over and you just don’t have the energy to set it upright. Poor wagon. Probably should have checked to make sure there wasn’t a puppy or kitteh or something toppled over on the other side…

Bringing you a little ray of sunshine and hopefully a smile, on what is currently a pretty dreary Monday in DC.

NYSE? April 21st, 2010

   

That’s a pretty foreboding little line between the brick and concrete, if you think of it as a performance graph. Or, through more optimistic eyes, it’s a mountain range silhouette. Also reminds me of one of the best comics ever.

mission revival + garbage chic April 19th, 2010

   

Spotted in the St. Matthews Court alley (between N St and Rhoes island Avenue, NW), a nice combination of mission style details and… trash can depository.
