Purchased tonight for $3.70 and an absurd sense of pride: two bunches of green onions, a tube of pizza-flavored Pringles, a 5-lb bag of potatoes. Then I went home and had noodles and tea and the rest of the coffee ice cream. Onions will have to top tofu, haven't quite decided what to do with 5 awesome lbs of potatoes just yet.

I swear these wasps are the size of my pinky. Good god, the one flying in this direction is like a freakin' zeppelin, OH HELP

Grant me this, nebulous Who/Whatever. Anyway ( Read more... )

Not much of a recreational coffee drinker, this one, but The Library, located in Meridian, is druther charming. I wonder if I can find it again; the place is still swathed in fog (says memory), emerging signpost first, then pointy roof. Its neighbor is a funeral parlor, I think.
