Confess something?

Confess something - anything you want.

But it has to be something, not just a generic comment to get a point. I'm serious. I'm not goona let a non-answer stand.

Okay, let's play...

This is a cool office building that was a famous ad agency, if youre ever in Los Angeles...
This is a cool office building that was a famous ad agency, if you're ever in Los Angeles...

Designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, the 'binoculars building' is in the Venice area of Los Angeles and was built in 1991 for the headquarters of advertising agency Chiat/Day. 'Chiat created a unique office environment, including a serpent-shaped sculpture in the boardroom, which sits in the lenses of the enormous binoculars shaped façade,' says Brooks Gordon, executive director of W. P. Carey, which owns the building. Google Inc. is now the largest tenant. (The binoculars themselves were sculpted by Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen.) Costar Group.

My confession:

I look at people in their apartments at night in the buildings around me, with my binoculars. My husband bought them for music concerts and birding etc., but I'm finding the human animal a bit more provocative lol. I know, I'm bad, I'm invading their privacy. But in my defence, no one ever does anything interesting. They're all watching a screen.

One time we had friends over, and were eating dinner I made, and I always give guests the window views, and one of them says, "I just saw a naked man walk by in that window." But the rest of us missed it. ☹ Wuh-wuuuuh. Still, I'm not looking for naked. For some reason I just like seeing how people live. (They're very, very, messy/chaotic/cluttery/lazy around here. But our rentals are pathetically small.) Kind of makes me feel calm watching people calm, relaxed in their homes.

One time I saw an attempted murder. (There was a murder, but what I saw was a guy trying to kill the guy who just murdered his gang member buddy.) Detectives interviewed me. No joke. I told them "I have binoculars, and I use 'em." That was stupid. Ooops.
