The thing I like best about the graffiti on this fire hydrant is the little circle above “holy” that looks like a halo. It makes the overall effect one of a person trying to swear and be cute at the same time.

I noticed this little guy painted on one of the walls near our apartment recently. He/she/it looks adorable which probably means he/she/it is about to rip out my throat.

Hanna was at lush earlier this week restocking on a few of our regular shampoo and soap products and she brought me home one of the new Christmas season “bath bomb” bubble bath bars, gnome name, which she informs me at the local store they are referring to as “buddy the christmas lobster” which suggests that they are all well-versed in the nativity play performed in love actually.

This is a photograph I took last week of the front stoop of a house that has just been renovated in the neighborhood behind our apartment building.

This appeared on one of the walls passed which Hanna and I often walk home from work. We’ve had a lot of conversations about what sort of political statement the artist thought they were making — and whether they understood the ramifications of either, a) abolishing the federal reserve or b) the federal government.

There’s a playground around the corner from our apartment that Hanna and I walk through quite frequently on our daily commute. Therein resides a child’s plastic scooter. We never see any of the numerous children who play in the park actually on the scooter, but whenever we pass by it is in a slightly different location, always looking slightly forelorn. Hanna thinks it’s mostly likely possessed.

I finally snapped a picture of this piece of graffiti in our neighborhood that makes me laugh every time I walk passed it.
I’m assuming the punctuation was meant to be an exclamation point emphasizing this (supposed) sexual activity of Lisa’s; instead it came out as more of a query, giving the phrase a tentative aura: maybe this girl we know likes anal sex? we aren’t sure? Well done y’all!
