i have some blank walls & i want art (!!!) ...

... actually, i just needed an excuse to break out the next set of ears sooner than later. 1st set of ears - st. valentine. 2nd set of ears - st. pat. (next set of ears - st. harvey!)

along came this reason to goof around a l'il bit at work and around downtown SF opportunity.

who came to the rescue?! ... DAVID DUST!!! in short, all i had to do for a chance to win some cool art:

• picture of self
  
• bonus for picture with bunny
• more bonus for picture at arby's
• photoshopping welcome but must be able to see your face

so here was this morn's game plan for pic submittal

COLLAGE-O-RAMA ...

send picture of self, wear bunny ears, get out & about with some pics in SF, and find a bunny with which to take a few pics. well ... the day turned out kind of as expected but kind of a little different-ish.

in the office ...
hanging out in cubeopolis with the ears - admittedly on & off throughout the day. (i straightened my hair this morn - wasn't gonna let THAT go to waste! ha!)

other fun stuff going on in the office pics? ... top chef glossies of no-ass-ryan and top-chef-steph. the original tim gunn (as flag gal) with princess shirlsd peeking around the corner. (talking tim gunn with sombrero was in the shamrock-ears pic.)

i even made a point to take a break down in the lobby area. ponytail was taking the picture. she tells me the best part of the lobby-fun was the little gal who was running down the lobby area and suddenly stopped short as soon as she saw the ears. (see her peaking around the pillar?)

then out & about during lunch ... ponytail & i went to mixt greens (where else?!) over off of mission street for some tasty salad munchies. then i hopped over to the nice bamboo sitting area.

and after some bamboo-bench-bunny-fun and a funky left hip action (which may result in a chiropractor visit), we headed across the street to check out some public art.

me loves public art ... i love public art so much that for an afternoon walk-about ('cuz today was a tough day in cubeopolis for ponytail and shirlsd), just a little more public art fun.

just a block away from cubeopolis is this keith haring sculpture. after unsuccessfully placing the ears on mr. blue of the k.haring sculpture, ponytail took a picture that every other visitor/tourist likely takes at the corner of 3rd & howard.

then i did something not good. apologies to public art. apologies for actually placing the ears on public art. not quite the intent of enjoying this other sculpture along a breezeway between cubeopolis and k.haring. but i did. and i apologize.

keeping score? ... based on the pics that i took, i realized i earned only one opportunity to win rona's artwork. i needed to get a bunny and/or an arby's element in my photo-offering to david dust.

bunnies @ arby's with ears ... well ... thanks to my friend, irene, who is easy-going enough that she was a willing partner in helping me out. fortunately, her young grand daughter has quite the bunny supply, and she had the entertainment book - the one with coupons - food coupons - fast food coupons - arby's coupons!!! (2 for 1 coupon ... irene and i each had a sandwich, shared curly fries, and drank liquids.)

my offering for the trifecta?

and before i throw in the remaining arby's pics ... let me just say that gadgetman sent me the two arby's located nearby my home. (thank you gadgetman!) i even went to where an arby's **WAS** located (y'know ... next to taco bell, kfc, and jack-in-the-box!) - thinking arby's was still there. not-so-much.

and let me thank irene once again for her patience ... one other tidbit. she & i arrived at arby's ~ 7:45 pm. irene wanted to run a quick grocery errand after arby's and therefore make it to the grocery store before 9 pm.

• i told her, "no problem."
• her response? - "well, i don't know if you also plan to do a little skit or play with your bunny friends!" (ar-ar)
• (note to self (and david dust) - if i had a video camera, i might have attempted a video submittal. but i digress.)

so to close this evening's frivolity -
the final set of pics

fun times!
(let you know whether or not i win. regardless, today was fun!)

[update (03/24): after sending 4 pics from my cell via e/m - i e/m'd head dust bitch-in-charge last night:

"here is the blog post ... as promised.

i realize that the number of pics has nothing to do w/my chances - but i just wanted to say thanks for giving me a reason to have a little fun and hope to brighten up your day & night (and kitty's day & night) a bit. you certainly helped me brighten up the office, a couple of blocks in san francisco, and the newark (california) arby's.

later gator - hugs"

- my note to head-bunny-kahuna was for this protracted blog post version that included 3 pics i'd sent him (before midnight eastern - just like the rules say so) and one of the pics i sent him is not in this post. daviddust gets at least one special pic - placemat-bunnyears-arby's pic.]
