Sitting in front of me on the B45 bus today, cruising down Atlantic Avenue: two pre-teen girls who appeared to be identical twins in that can't-really-tell-if-they're-twins-or-just-look-remarkably-similar kind of way (perhaps intentionally, considering their age).
As we passed a lighting design studio displaying all kinds of different floor, table and hanging lamps in its huge storefront window, one of the tweens pointed at an enormous, gawdy as hell chandelier and shouted, "Check it out! That's dumb pretty!"
Dumb pretty? Say what? "Whatever happened to awesome, rad, tubular?" wondered the aging '80s relic (that would be me) seated behind them.
"It's dumb pretty!" The tween repeated, in case I misheard her use of this newfangled slang that makes old folks like me contort their faces in highly unflattering ways.
Her friend/sister/Doppelganger replied, "It's mad high up, too."
Damn, I feel old.

Anyway, I tagged you. Check out my blog. Love & hugs.
