From the department of Unusual Apparel:
Today, Lady G., my boss' wife, wore all black. She's about sixty, but very stylish and with the looks to carry off almost anything. Black suits her. With this, however, she wore shoes that were the most shocking orange I have ever seen. Every time she went past my door, I almost jumped out of my skin because of that sudden flash of brilliant colour.
From the department of Unusual Botany:
Along the railway tracks the train I have to take to and from work goes along, there's some shrubbery, as is usual with railway tracks. It's just that this shrubbery has twigs that are of a rather vivid red where the sun shines on them, and of a dull green where it doesn't. When the train goes past them at its usual speed, the effect is rather disconcerting: the twigs take on a colour that is both red and green at once, and give off a very strange shimmer.
We have achieved octarine bushes here on Roundworld!
From the department for Political Opinions and Conspiracy Theories:
If you want food for thought about Spain, democracy, and 3/11, go read Telepolis (sorry, only in German; this is for![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
woelfle, wiebke, floppy_hat and japanologist as well as for the Wayward Frenchman and the Nazgul who I know both read my LJ occasionally despite not having one themselves, eh?). As in any crisis, Telepolis find their true form and are back on their level of Catastrophic High Normal, as after 9/11. Only this time around, they aren't the only critical voice around. Still, they are very good, very on-the-edge, and Bröckers is posting articles there again as well...
From the Personal Department:
I broke a tooth on a piece of bread. One part has come completely loose from the rest, but still hangs on by the gums. I shall not be able to avoid the dentist much longer. It feels decidedly odd.

But I'll check the site out more often now, it looks promising. And for those who don't speak German: It has a little "Enlish" button on the left!
And yay for octarine bushes. Maybe we should send a certain Mr.Bush a certain amount of octarine...

Hei, great idea! What would he do if he turned octarine, though? Would that necessarily make him more sensible? Or would he be so embarrassed that he'd resign on the spot?

The latter, I hope!
