Doesn't have a point of view

I'm happily mixing my mixed CD today. I've decided on a sleepy/dreamy mix of songs that I would listen to when I reach the point while pulling an all-nighter when it hits me that sleep could be better than staring at a computer screen. Sadly this usually doesn't happen until at least 4 in the morning.
Yesterday, I spent way too much time doing nothing at the computer. Here is my worthwhile discovery. It is called Nails. If you don't have a lot of time to play around with it, at least watch flow or spin.
Another discovery that I made was of this website. It shows eateries, bowling alleys, theaters, and other roadside attractions across the united states. As the scrolled through the photos of bright neon signs, I began to recognize several of them. Much to my excitement, I discovered that many of the listed places were businesses which I drive by every day. How could I have seen through their beauty? The photos make their signs look so shiny, retro, and appealing, but most of these places I hhave never consider visiting like Goody's and Bun and Burger.
All of this internet strolling was brought upon by the search for a perfect e-card for Felix.
Happy belated Birthday Felix!
Working at Universal Studios makes me wish that could speak Japanese. The Japanese tourists usually have the most interesting requests. So far I have been asked what the word "Latina" on a t-shirt reading "Latina Queen" means. Another woman asked where she could get, what I think was, a watergun. When I didn't understand, she formed a gun with her hand and said bang bang. The woman with her also have a paper with a nice drawing of a little gun on it.
I talked to Anu today. Yea! The other day, I tried to make Anu style tea on the stove when I was feeling sad. I didn't have cardamon pods and I had to used ground. It was not nearly as good.
