Check your head

I was going to write a lengthy post about the proliferation of public art in my neighborhood, but I’ll save that for another day, when I have the pictures to prove my point. I’ve also got a major announcement about an author event at the Center for Gaming Research, but I’m doing that later.

I just wanted to share an excerpt from today’s email inbox. A guy who seems nice enough dropped me a line to ask if I could help him buy carpet. Here’s my favorite part:

I manage a small casino here and surfing on the Internet I found your page gallery carpet and I liked a lot especially when you tell my head about the design of this carpet

The whole email is one big run-on sentence. I have a feeling that it was run through a web translating page.

But maybe I should change my job description: as Director of the Center for Gaming Research, I manage and expand UNLV’s Gaming Collection, update gaming.unlv.edu, answer researcher, industry, and media questions about gambling, and tell people’s heads about casino carpet.

Add one more thing to the list of things I’d be doing that I never imagined I’d be doing some day back when I was in graduate school.
