Boston Common People

So for the past few days I have had Pulp's Common People song stuck in my head... (and by 'few days' I mean since my drive home Sunday evening when I paid close attention to the lyrics in the car [and I was doing so as it has previously been brought to my attention that I do not pay close enough attention to lyrics]).

For the past few days I have been excited about FINALLY finishing my film so that I could get my pictures back from a trip to Boston. Here are two of my favorites, taken two blocks south of the Boston Commons:

This guy had on one fine fur coat that he had purchased it in NYC. I Thought he was part of the protest at first, but he and his friends were just hanging around the corner... they didn't even realize there was a protest going on. I convinced his buddies to take our picture with the fur protest ladies. The guy who took the picture (white shirt, first picture) and the rest of his friends could NOT stop laughing.

Credit goes out to the woman holding the "everyone is ugly in fur" sign -- she was clearly uneasy as the group of us approached her but smiled when I asked if we could take a picture with her.

Must've been a cool trip. Get hit by any cars? :)

Only one, thankfully. I did not, however, do a very good job saving the "damsel in distress" (who paid no attention to me as I was being side-swiped and kept walking straight into its path). Luckily she is tougher than I and we have both recovered. We were fortunate enough to meet the driver of the slow moving vehicle who was heading home after an evening of shopping at the local Wal*Mart. Beautiful.

I think you have the sequel to "Strange Love" right there. Think about it. I want 10% of the profits.

HA! (lol)

Tesh, skip Reader's Digest, you should write it up for Harlequin! They’d have no trouble selling it – the only difficulty would be choosing what Theme it falls under... alpha male? Bad boy? Different worlds? opposites attract? Or perhaps "Kidnapped".
