Odd Occurances AND...

Mustang Sally...

There was a post there somewhere but i won't resurrect it. something about this guy compulsively cleaning his car for 20 minutes while parked under a jacaranda tree which does nothing but drip purple flowers... i thought, you should move your car guy if you don't want to have your car dirtied. wow. good post eh. i'm sorry i lost it.

sigh.

so it's warm out and i'm going to wander around the garden. we've got a few 6-packs to plant (i love beer trees) but they're not all grown up and ready yet. we've got another hummingbird nest and a mockingbird nest...

things i've done/need to do:

applied for one 10wk logging gig
looked for sandals fruitlessly (3 places)
did not find a new handsfree for phone
drove off despair (2x) mainly for phone, a dash for joblessness
develop film
sleep
wander around
more jobs?
finish book
start book
paint room
ate cereal
drank water
got dressed
woke up
currently: listening to radio, oddly enough again: redhotchilipeppers: UndertheBridge.
currently: barefoot, without sandals
currently: applying lip balm

According to the standards, you should have at least 7 more "drank waters" on your list.

And then add multiple trips to the bathroom...

the bladder expands to accomadate- or so i hear- i've always thought it funny that people will actually dehydrate themselves so as to avoid the bathroom although if you're in a foreign country and there's no bathroom to be had then i would definitely agree.

in LA, though, i notice that EVERY SINGLE public bathroom makes available toilet seat liners, hence making the public bathroom experience less reprehensible. whereas anywhere else, much less in foreign countries, one might easily be driven to consider dehydration.

You definitely deserve a few weeks off before looking for another job.

The new redhotchilipeppers cd is actually really frickin' good. And I wasn't such a big fan of them before (you know, got bored of the song overplay, etc).

I recommend taking lots of time off between jobs. Which may involve living with parents, but... well, trade offs.

What kind of cereal you glossy-lipped maniac?

And speaking of jacarandas, has everyone noticed that they are in bloom finally!

mendacious said...

johann, it was joe's o-s from trader joes, i believe mixed with some grape-n flakes cereal or something- oh raisin bran, that was it. but i picked out most of the raisins. it's not nearly as good as mixing in granola. i also used 1% milk which was ok. i was definitely not in the mood to drink the leftover part...

Daniel Bruckner said...

Not in the mood to mop up, I completely understand. Joe's O's, shit, all that does is contaminate milk. You've gotta stick to the basics, Cocoa Krispees, Lucky Charms, Golden Grahams, they are designed to accentuate milk, bring out its full potential. Even Captain Crunch can be relied upon, though it reeks havok on the roof of your mouth, the gums. Why is Captain Crunch so absrasive?

mendacious said...

i know, it seems so unnecessary doesn't it?

and i can't do those cereals- its like the equivilant of starting your day off with a shot of vodka or a glass of wine.
