I draw a blank

I have nothing to say right now but it's been a while since I've written, and Best Friend may be tired of that picture, so I will just write whatever comes to mind.

I had one of those hour-long conversations on a street corner this morning. You know the kind, where the group of four breaks up to go back to the office or wherever, but just before you leave, you quickly exchange a few words with one of those four, the one with whom you are working on something else, and for some reason the word exchange takes an hour? I do always enjoy those, though.

Normally, it is chocolate and cookies that I crave, but this week, I am all over dried fruit. Peaches are the best, but they are also the most difficult to dig out of the bulk bin, especially with that silly scoop - great for rice, terrible for anything actually bulky.

Watched Michael Clayton on the weekend. Tilda Swinton was great.

Reading The Omnivore's Dilemma at the moment. All food is corn. Who knew? Excited to finish it and start The God Interviews. Thanks, Lolabola!

Back to running these days, but only a few times a week, otherwise I feel like I'm avoiding the thesis. The river banks are mucky, adding plenty of weight to my shoes and sending mud flying in all directions. Passers by, beware.

C'est tout.

The Omnivore's Dilemma is a really fantastic book title. Hey it would make a great band name ;)

I was tired of that picture. Who wants to go down that memory lane every day? not I, said the cat. Actually it really makes me think of K and how he thought it was the funniest photo ever, which is kind of a better memory.

the book is by Blaugustine. she is so wonderful.

you should try turning the plastic bag inside out and grabbing the dried fruit instead. I hate those scoops (and the idea of leaning over a bin that so many others have leaned over. it seems so wrong. not that I don't do it) I'm truly unsure if I've ever had a dried peach.
