Blowing snow blows.

I've decided I want to go around town and search for one of those "special spots" where I can sit, relax, sip coffee and watch the everything on the outside go on. The main stipulation for this spot is it needs to produce that feeling. You know, that feeling. The last place that generated said feeling for me was Mugby, and though I thought about it, driving down to Mugby today on one of those blowing snow days wouldn't be such a good idea.

And with that, I sit at the Cheeky Monkey, hopefully getting some good vibes and enjoying the people inside and out while I determine my top albums of 2009 list. To be continued...

sometimes i'm really bad at updates.

oh, so many months have gone by, dear bloggy mcbloggerton. one whole season. pretty much. i already miss riding my bike. i've got my lovely little xmas decorations up.

tangent: where on earth did the kardashians come from and how the hell did they get so famous?

another tangent: wife swap is awesome. especially when eco-friendly hippies who don't use toilet paper clash with prudes infatuated with poodles.

work has been rather unbelievably busy, administration is unbearable

yet another tangent: despite the times, every cleaning product commerical still features a woman. that's a little sad. and of course the biggest culprit of these ads? wal-mart, woot!

naptime...

Addison's Disease!

I totally got the Mystery Diagnosis today, and I don't even like endocrinology.  If JFK hadn't been shot, he would have died of Addison's disease. 

In any event, summer is pretty much over.  Saddening, but it's been a quality one.  Twins games, Rock the Garden, Lolla, and lots of biking.  Also, it's certainly nice to have more people in and around the vicinity of les villes for with to hang out.

Switching gears now to fall: Leaves.  Sweaters.  Boots.  Football.  Swine Flu.  And hopefully more hanging out with people more often.  One thing I do regret from the summer is keeping up communication with numerous people.  Yay fall!  That is all.

whilst on twitter...

The New Musical Express via a Dandy Warhols tweet: "it would be terrible if the US became like Holland, where marijuana use is legal and everyone is educated and rides bikes."

thought of the day

Lara: "why don't i watch the daily show more often"

Jake: "because you hate laughter and joy"

Jake: "and the look of a child's smile"

Jake: "and the smell of flowers"

Jake: "and the taste of honeymelon after a cool summer rain"

Lara: "that is true, i don't like melon."

RANDOM!

Trail Mix as we know it today was invented in San Francisco in 1968.  Trail Mix.  SF.  Prime Hippie Era.  Really, I'm shocked.  Truly, I should not be so into Unwrapped on the Food Network.
