Next Day

I am typing this entry while wearing latex gloves and drinking Lysol (by Manning, 11:56am)

When I'm staying at Steve and Trish's place in Collingswood and working in Philly, every day I've gotta take the PATCO High-Speedline, which is basically a small commuter train. (Is it a small train for commuters, or a train for small commuters? It is both of these things.) Sometime while I was over in France, the Collingswood station inexplicably got decorated with these horrifying giant plastic microorganisms, with no sign anywhere (that I could find) explaining what they are or why they're there. Now, I've always been a little bit germ-phobic, and while these images themselves don't freak me out at all, they do remind me every single day that every surface in the universe is teeming with hideous microscopic abominations that want to wriggle their way inside me and kill me slowly and agonizingly. I've concluded that these sculptures-or-what-have-you represent the various types of bacteria and viruses and parasites that live on every filthy, plague-ridden surface of the train station:

 

Handrail germ, payphone germ

Door handle germ

 

Escalator railing germ

Bench germ, floor germ

Change machine germ, turnstile germ

 

Person-sitting-next-to-you germ

Unidentified germ, troubled commuter

Hunt you to the ground they will, mannequins with kill appeal (by Manning, 11:43am)

Here are about a dozen of my favorite pictures from my photoshoot the other night with blackwell! I'll put most of them under a cut in case you don't want your computer to break.

( Now with even more vanity )
