wtf

You humans are nuts.

Nick and I were at Marley Station this evening. It's not the mall it once was, but sometimes we stroll through for some vampiric sense of nostalgia. We enjoy the rush of emotion around the holiday season, and nowhere can we experience such diversity of feeling as in a mall in December.

We were strolling through JC Penney to get to the parking lot.

There was a family taking a picture.

A Christmas picture.

They moved some store signs away from the Christmas trees.

And posed.

And a blonde woman took several pictures.

Now, I am never one to criticize humans for taking an opportunity, but for some reason this struck me as ironic. A false holiday scene with false happiness. I could clearly feel the irritation, the boredom, the embarrassment, of the individuals.

Fascinating. I'll never understand it.

But fascinating.
