| today i tried two things (specifically, foods) that i normally would not have tried. i was down at liz and albert's and i didn't want to offend them or to make a scene, so i decided to just suck it up and try what they were serving. They had bagels (mmm) with cream cheese (i'm so down) onions (weirdly, one of my fave foods) tomatoes (non-threatening) smoked salmon (oh, barf) and capers (i'd rather die). those were my initial thoughts, but as i said, i didn't want to offend them and they were so excited to be busting out the smoke salmon that has been sitting around their apartment for so very long... so i piled up by bagel and gee.dubs? it was delish. yeah, even the capers (i couldn't really taste them too much, but sure, more salt is never bad). so now i'm a grown up. my list of foods that i refuse to eat (which i'll admit is longer than most other folks') is shrinking. chalk it up to maturity. i'm so proud.
*a special note to all the celery out there: you will NEVER make it off of my list. | | |
| today i wore shorts! i'm so excited. spring has sprung.
at grandlake coffeehouse (they love compound words) the interwebs were not working so well. that was lame. also, they do not have iced coffee, but you can get the reg drip coffee over ice. and that is a good deal. also, i dropped my earbuds into my drip coffee over ice. i was worried they would not work anymore, but they still do. hooray!
tomorrow, i will wear my other shorts! | | |
| two great things:
when an apple hangs out in the fruit basket next to a peach or nectarine, it absorbs some of the flavor. this is magical. because i like the taste of peaches and nectarines, but i don't like how they are so juicy and messy to eat. I love eating apples cause they're pretty much the most portable food (seriously, more portable than a crunchwrap). so an apple that tastes like a P or N is the best of both worlds (like hannah montana).
also great, this joke from my childhood: So, this dude is going on vacation and he asks his buddy to house-sit for him. He says, "Buddy, i need you to feed my dog, water the plants, and if you don't mind, could you please check in on my grandma, she lives next door and she gets lonely sometimes." So his buddy says, "Sure, no prob." The dude leaves on vacay and in a few days he calls up his buddy to ask how everything is going and his buddy tells him, "your dog died." Well, the dude is devistated and he's like, "how could you tell me such bad news like that, i'm trying to enjoy my vacation!" and his buddy replies, "what did you want me to say?" and the dude's like, "You could have at least broken it to me slowly. Maybe told me that the dog is on the roof, and then tomorrow you could have said 'the dog fell off the roof, but we took him to the vet they're doing all they can...' and then you could tell me he's not doing so well, and then maybe when i get back you could tell me he died, at least you wouldn't have given me such bad news while i'm on vacation." So his buddy apologized and hung up... Well, the next day the dude is chillin' by the pool, still on vacay, and he gets a call from his buddy, who says, "man, i have some news for you... your grandma's on the roof."

| i got this haircut two days ago. i'm not super psyched. it's just like my hair, only less. but it only cost $20. which is pretty good for a bufessional cut these days. thanks aveda beauty school. oh i guess this is not technically bufesh. but one day they (the students that cut the hairs) will be. after, i am wearing glasses and a disgruntled look...
this is pretty conclusive evidence that one of my eyes is smaller then the other one.
also i made this today:
that's keighty. obvi.

| there's good news and there's bad news.
bad news first. Living in the frozen north (in this case portland) has put me in the habit of wearing a long sleeve thermal shirt under my short sleeve shirt. (and usually a sweater or sweatshirt and a coat). i think the long sleeve/short sleeve thing looks cute, but the bad news is that i overheat on my hike to work everyday, because g-dubs? it's not as cold here! but i'm usually thankful to be bundled on my way home... so it's not so bad.
now the good news! this is pretty much the greatest thing. in the BART station where i get on the train for work, there is a subway sandwich shop. (yeah, a subway in the subway). the great part is that in the morning they bake up the bread and it smells GLORIOUS! love it. | | |
