Micro$oft's juxtaposition

There's a 2-tone box at the bottom of the area after I send out messages on Hotmail. 1 section is bold and in blue, the other has a white background and hyperlinks.

I think they're supposed to be unconnected, but compositionally, they really don't seem that way. It's almost enough for "Headlines":

And there's a photograph of a smiling woman next to "have fun with emoticons". The hurricane Katrina is bold, but not hyperlinked, while the "fun with emoticons" and "font styles" are. I've even clicked on them to see if anything is mentioned about hurrican Katrina, but it's more Micro$oft marketing.

It seems also like someone has completely forgotten it's there.

short update on the last "Breaking the Habit" day

That's the name of the show, yo.

Today was just as satisfying as Fri. and Sat. night. A steady stream of people came through all day. The Swiss Miss were lagging and I've got a picture of 3 of the SM totally leaning on their arms at around 3pm today (we were open from 12-5). That photo is behind the cut.

We met some former Catholic School graduates who were in town for a class reunion. In their 60s, probably. One woman (who could have really been a friend of my mom) was saying that when she was in school, the convent was this mysterious place and to finally see it was a secret revelation (ok, my words; I can't remember exactly what she said).

For this reason, we momentarily turned off the computer screen with hardcore porn images. We realized we had the "afterchurch" crowd. We also had 3 pre-adolscent boys come through and I'm sure they were lookin' for boobs, 'coz they spent a lot of time there. Damn kids!

Someone else said that they were in Spring Green and heard someone say, "Have you been to The Convent?"

Ok, I'll only inundate you with 6-7 photos.
