Party lunch
I typically have a bunch of snack foods on hand at work. The vendo is so over priced and chock full of junk, so when I get snacky, I have my snack drawer.
Current inventory includes:
generic triscuts
pita bread
pretzel sticks
instant oatmeal packets
microwave popcorn
and a cup of dehydrated split pea soup
in the fridge I have:
string cheese
hummus
fruit and veggies
veggie burger patties
So today, with nothing better to eat for lunch, I had hors d' oeuvres. Cheese cubes, pita, hummus, carrot sticks, apples and peanut butter. Something happens to food when it's chopped into bite-size pieces and served on a giant plate. 16 essential party vitamins are unleashed. It was so party-like that I instantly became exhausted after lunch time and I fell asleep at my desk for about five minutes. I woke up and my hair was all tousled. Party hair.

Seannery O'Conner
I had a very full, very fun weekend. By Sunday evening I was ready to pass out from exhaustion. On Friday we went to the city for shoe exchanging, Mosquito watching, band noodling and red wine drinking. We managed to do all three before midnight. New shoes: Gola trainers and some Saucony dealies.
A rhyme about my new Golas:
I got some Golas
But I'm not a chola
On Friday, I'm going to see my Yo La
Tengo
And when you see me in the club you can say hello!
Saturday we went to Grass Valley for excessive ingesting and sleeping outside. I ingested and partook in so many indulgencies that I told everyone that the guy from London reminded me of Seannery O'Conner. I don't think he heard me. After that, we happened upon a carton of rocky road ice cream in the forest. It was such a divine happening that we all had to eat a scoop. The food, beer and everything else managed to get the best of us eventually and the four of us retired to a two person tent. Somebody snored, somebody farted and everyone else made condensation on the inside of the tent skin.
We woke up and went for a drive to the Yuba river. The drive was wonderful, except for the part where we almost got killed in a head-on collision. The river was swift and cold so I only waded in and sunned my pale skin for a little while. It was nice. Then we drove home. I visted with my family for a while and ate some food. Sometimes they drive me completely crazy and I can hardly stand it. This time they were all suprisingly tollerable so I stayed for a couple of hours. And I still had time for band practice.
It was a whirlwind. And now I'm ready to relax.

Like anyone cares.
I finally saw a real, live amorphophallus titanum (corpse flower) yesterday evening. It was at UC Davis, so we drove all the way out there to see it. It was pretty big as far as flowers go, but probably not as big as some of the others that have had news coverage in the last couple of years. It smelled like.....a plant. Maybe the big ones smell worse. I'm glad I got to see it, but the smell was a bit of a let down. Next on the list of things to see and do before I die: see an octopus beak.
