Current mood: annoyed

Bad things come in a small package
Extracting photographs of elegant buildings entered into our architectural competition for a presentation, I was disgusted to find one of our entrants had seen fit to put their pictures on one of those horrid, pint-size CDs.

"They couldn't even be bothered to send a whole CD!" I observed in dismay, peering disdainfully at the tiny affront. "I don't expect to receive entries on media I might accidentally inhale! This isn't an entry, it's a choking hazard."

"It looks rather like a donut to me," my coworker offered with a smirk. Yes, it's true, since the boss brought in mini donuts this morning they're all I can think about. Lying there in the kitchen with their delicate frosting of sugar, the naughty little temptresses, beckoning me with their cakey siren call...

"Ugh!" I cried in distress as another diddy circlet peered up from the bottom of the envelope at me, "there are more of the nasty little things!"

It is my opinion that, if they are so mean as to deny us the simple courtesy of a full-sized CD, they should be struck from the competition.

Sadly I'm not Lord of the Competition, so I suppose I'd better get on with processing the pictures from it.

BUT I WON'T ENJOY IT.

Surely they have other, wondrous confectionry that makes up for it?

Your icon looks to be chewing on a mini-doughnut-disk as well. Perhaps it's just the new thing, and we're woefully behind.

(PS, I put an elbow stand picture up in my LJ! No, I am never going to shut up about these things!)

I saw that! I was at work so I didn't have an opportunity to comment.

I wouldn't want you to shut up about it, I think it's awesome. ^_^

Now that all of the entries for this competition have been judged and the awards handed out, I'm very curious..... Did the entrant who "had seen fit to put their pictures on one of those horrid, pint-size CDs" (or any of the others) bring home one of the awards? Curious though I may be, I have a feeling that I'm going to have to remain such since your handling of these mini-CDs happened SO LONG ago! I doubt if you'll be able to remember... unless that particular design happened to strike your fancy once you actually saw it!

By the way... I really liked the bronze cycladic head trophies that were given as awards in the architectural division although such a thing would look a bit out of place in my home. I also liked some of the competition's student designs, especially the copper landscape, the reading wall and the copper shelter.
