i’ve been having a difficult time sleeping lately and i can’t figure out why. oh wait. i do know. it’s because there seems to be dozens of emergency vehicles blaring past every 20 minutes.

to my relief, the snowstorm that was supposed to hit us last night barely made an appearance. but even if it had, today still would’ve been a good day because i had goat for lunch.

SHOT IN THE ANKLE?  02.22.2011

last night i dreamt that someone was trying to break in and kill me. i remember seeing a bright orange light coming in from the edges of the door, kind of like when Zuul showed up in Sigourney Weaver’s refrigerator after it had ruined half the eggs.

stopped by the local market today and picked up a salmon head to combine with tofu, onions, garlic, ginger and napa cabbage for suspiciously delicious fish head soup.

after:

had to wade through a sea of overly cautious drivers as we drove back from Beka’s mom’s tonight. not only was there a heavy rainstorm going on but the temperature was only a couple of degrees above freezing which made for some relatively tricky driving conditions. combine the adverse weather with idiots in Buicks* and you’ve got a surefire recipe for a mildly annoying night of driving.

* i firmly believe that idiots in Buicks can be linked to every single roadside accident and traffic jam, a theory which i may discuss in a future post.

EITHER A CUT OR DIRT  02.19.2011

just heard someone on CNN pronounce “Qatar” as “cutter.” speaking of which, there was also a knife commercial where the guy used one to saw through a nail before cutting perfect tomato slices.

a NAIL.
