on the way home from work today i passed a postal police car and amused myself most of the way home trying to imagine what sort of postal emergency would warrant the use of such a vehicle. i understand that there are all sorts of legitimate postal crimes and that mail fraud is a very serious offense but it's hard for me to picture the elaborate and highly dangerous mail heist that would involve the use of lights and sirens and high-speed chases.
i sniggered all the way down lakeshore drive until i passed soldier field which is currently being used as the staging grounds for the american idol trials. not being of the artisitc persuasion myself, maybe i don't understand what it is to be an aspiring vocalist in search of glamour, fame, and oodles of money- but as i passed the throng of american idol potentials wrapped all the way around a football stadium (i think to the tune of 50,000) it occurred to me that maybe i'm the odd one out.
to wrap up my thursday afternoon ponderings i have to ask myself: wasn't one nauseating reese witherspoon romantic comedy that shared the name of an overplayed pop song enough?
