It has a handle that pulls up from a secret compartment if you want to use it for a suitcase. <BR/><BR/>My current handbag, though, you'd probably also want to steal. It's orange and intensely lovely.Ms Baroquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836227454899083962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-33115704676312126412007-04-11T15:52:00.000-05:002007-04-11T15:52:00.000-05:00Ms. B: You snuck in while I was blowing wind at Ti...Ms. B: You snuck in while I was blowing wind at Tiny Olive.<BR/><BR/>I am, even as I type this, making plans to abscond with your handbag...The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-513332467913095242007-04-11T15:51:00.000-05:002007-04-11T15:51:00.000-05:00V: See Tiny Olive for the flip-side of this post, ...V: See Tiny Olive for the flip-side of this post, I guess. Peep Jousting will be up soon.<BR/><BR/>TSP: Hi. Awww?<BR/><BR/>Struggly: It was kind of nice, although I was incredibly tired, so maybe my mind was just making peace with everything.<BR/><BR/>Liz. This was the Eisenhower, so it is not even one of the pretty ones. Something about it last night, though...<BR/><BR/>Tiny Olive: You should consider starting a blog yourself. Maybe to get you started you can just post the inverse of all of my posts.<BR/><BR/>I loved your take on the same situation, though. And your comment isn't negative. It's honest, which is nice.<BR/><BR/>I think after working that late, and then with the rain and the hour, I was prepared to feel sorry for anyone in the situation of being awake and out. Perhaps I assumed that they, too, had planned on working a normal day, and then found it doubled by the demands of their jobs. Their body language was not mischevious. They hopped to keep warm. One of them was trying to decide whether he wanted to open his umbrella. And one left the curb to peer back down the road, wondering when their rescue from the elements would arrive.<BR/><BR/>I have street smarts, but they didn't set off my radar at all. Perhaps it's something to do with how difficult it is to get into my car. I hadn't heard about the nurse, though. That's terrible.The Moon Toppleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12717446064777879248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-53685723265194487642007-04-11T15:46:00.000-05:002007-04-11T15:46:00.000-05:00Peep jousting sounds good.

Peeps have been very topical over at my place recvently, I guess for obvious reasons. <BR/><BR/>I'd say you could combine locking the car door with feeling very sympathetic - like the way I'll admire someone's jacket, or think someone has a lovely face, while also instinctively putting my arm over the front of my handbag.<BR/><BR/>Beautiful image, though, the expressway. <BR/><BR/>Hope project finishes well!Ms Baroquehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01836227454899083962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-90733819192821059902007-04-11T15:40:00.000-05:002007-04-11T15:40:00.000-05:00I saw those same three guys from my car, and unlik...I saw those same three guys from my car, and unlike you, I locked my door. I know that that could be viewed as a very terrible or non-PC thing to do, but I grew up in and around neighborhoods like the one we were driving through. We consider locking your door "street smarts".<BR/><BR/>The described location wasn't very far from where they found a female nurse's strangled body in her car, parked on the side of the expressway. (Uh, yeah. It's the same expressway mentioned in the blog.)<BR/><BR/>I know that our culture teaches us that you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but sometimes you just gotta go with your gut.<BR/><BR/>Sorry, this comment seems to coming across as really negative, and I didn't intend it to be. A lovely night though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33218373.post-90278224224664662422007-04-11T15:07:00.000-05:002007-04-11T15:07:00.000-05:00When I first moved to LA, I used to go out and dri...When I first moved to LA, I used to go out and drive on the freeways at like 2 in the morning just because it felt so freeing. It's still never been as pretty as Lake Shore Drive or driving up the Dan Ryan/Edens home to the northside.
