Today, I got a phone call from my sister, Charlotte. She asked me if I'd heard from anyone today. I said no. Then, she just blurts out that Larry, my brother, is dead. Right now, Everyone Hurts, by REM, is playing. That is so appropriate for my brother. He hurt, a lot ( Read more... )

Last night, I got lost in the bathroom again. This has happened about five times in my life, that I get lost in the middle of the night. It has happened both of the last two times we have moved to a new house. I think I must have a little bit of sleepwalking tendencies.

I am tired of feeling the dry film of dust on everything, and my sinuses are unhappy too. So, please rain. And rain. And just keep raining, until all the ( Read more... )

So, Jon and I went out this past Wednesday to a Korean/Japanese restaurant named Saole Garden, I believe. I saw the name Garden, and thought it would be something I would maybe like, because I like vegetables. I also like tofu, and was thinking that perhaps I could find something along these lines when we chose this particular place to eat ( Read more... )

Well there is SOME, only it is the really spicy Indian chili powder that would make it inedible if I used this as the primary spice. I usually can only add about a tablespoon or less of the Indian chili powder to add flavor ( Read more... )
