Things that have been lost or come up missing in the past week:
Before our worlds really up-end themselves, Aliyah and I are taking a weekend of vacation.
We'll be back on Monday.
July 8, 2009.
Sid and I skipped class for bacon for hibachi. Silly pictures make more sense.
Some secrets are like balloons that aren't tied off yet; you open your mouth, and all the air comes rushing out. Just one little opening...one little word, even...and whoosh! The pressure of giddy excitement makes it hard to even choke out a greeting and basic platitudes without the terror of losing all the words stored just behind your tongue...!
Oh, if I trusted my tongue!
!. Lately, I've been eating Orville Redenbacher's Natural popcorn instead of their regular popcorn. While it's still not perfect, it's damn good. A step above the normal microwave stuff, actually. Here's why I've actually been eating it: my grocery store prices the Natural line exactly the same as the Traditional line. For the same price, I can get better popcorn. It's worth a try.
@. It bothers me that I have to read every single fucking ingredient list just to make sure a company isn't sneaking dead animals into my food. Case in point:
"Nine-grain mafalda pasta topped with slices of rich crimini mushrooms tossed with a savory marsala wine sauce and topped with rich fontina cheese, and totaling a mere 270 calories."Would you expect this product to have animal flesh in it? No, me neither. This blurb is the only text on the front of the box besides the brand name, and the picture shows some really yummy pasta with cheese and mushrooms. Looks good, right? I thought so, too. Could be a nice "special treat" meal instead of eating out. So I flip the box around (habit) and run into this list:
Cooked Enriched Pasta (Water, Whole Grain Flours (Wheat (Ultragrain), Barley (Sustagrain), Rye, Oats, Amaranth, Quinoa, Millet, Sorghum, Teff), Wheat Semolina, Egg White, Niacin, Iron (Ferrous Sulfate), Thiamine Mononitrate, Riboflavin, Folic Acid), Baby Portabella's, Water, Fontina Cheese (Pasteurized Milk, Cheese Culture, Salt, Enzymes), Marsala Wine, Corn Starch, Olive Oil, Onion Puree (Onion, Cane Juice, Sea Salt), Garlic, Spices, Sugar, Salt, Evaporated Cane Juice, Vegetable Stock (Carrot, Celery, Onion), Chicken Stock, Chicken Meat with Juices, Natural Flavors (Contains Soy), Chicken Fat, Yeast Extract, Mushroom Powder, Gelatin, Whey.What the heck?! There was no indication on the front of the box that this entree wasn't vegetarian, and they snuck some chicken in there at the very last minute. I'm annoyed that companies need to sneak dead animal bits into an otherwise vegetarian meal, and I'm annoyed that there is no warning other than some little tiny print on the back of the box.

I'm just an afterthought in this picture. I'm doing something mildly illegal, standing in the water wall in the new Science Center. There was no one around to see me; only this photographic evidence of my folly exists.
According to my sociology class, poor people are poor because they're lazy and no one cares about gay marriage.
Oh, this will be a real barrel of laughs all right.

Again, looking down. Just glad to be back on steady ole Wilson soil.

You will notice that I am wearing the same outfit as July 3. This is because I was still on the road. This picture is vaguely patriotic, as well.

Damn it feels good to be king.

It was quite an ordeal, but my lady has returned! (I have very big balls.)

I'm incredibly fuck but once you see an incredibly and I'm even in a good way going this paper cut on your butt way. He's got it. It's already an hour and a half out to London.

So she needs to get to the immigration or some which you know I have my dosabel(?) she's getting green cards but I don't think gonna ___ I'm really worried that we'll have a repeat performance of last year's trip to Sweden when she gets to tame for two hours because her hair cut is not the same at the picture my God but I don't think it'll happen. I don't think she'll get her bags and get through the security get through immigration cos some and get to me so that we can sprint to get on the last train and it's a 45 dollar cab ride from DWI back to immigration that's anywhere else can be seen at this evening station. Then we're gonna have to get a metro to a bus because the bus makes to be the part of the city that I'm staying in stops running at 9:00pm. It's so fucking hard to exist in some sustainable way and yeah you probably trim good. Well if she thinks so you know or a confirmation which I accepted incredible bad until fall which is on a daily plan so you even try to make trim it cos from a major airport to a major city to major hotel and it's really it's hard at the hotel.

Just I don't know Kelly and Ryan anybody in the area with the color who likes me to get like to a parking stations that we can get all the metro train because if I can get on anywhere if I can get off any metro train in DC I can get to where unable to eventually. I just have to get something anyway to DC. So I'm so incredibly fuck.” Auto-Transcribed Voice Post |

In an oddly-Myspaceish picture, I express my true feelings about Dunkin Donut's alliance with the Boston Red Sox.
