I was playing with Chopper, the dog today until I accidentally threw his toy on the roof. He has been going crazy ever since attempting to find a way to get to his toy.

Also, I saw a woman today who I thought was wearing flashing blue earrings. Turns out it was just one of those little blue tooth phone things that goes over your ear. (I don't like those things)

There has been a new development in my life. I have recently become one of those girls who carries everything in her purse. I used to be a simple phone, keys, and wallet in a small, efficient bag. But tonight it took me at least a full minute to find my keys... not fun in the 20 degree weather.... I'm thinking about trying to revert back to my old and simpler ways. but you never know when I'm gonna need something random.... like a harmonica, which I just may happen to have in my purse right now.

I saw the Mighty Ducks for the first time today, and it was fantastic. I can't believe I had never seen it, and I now eagerly await watching Mighty Ducks II (Which is especially exciting because I have personally met and spoken to one of the cast members of Mighty Ducks II. Makes it all that more awesome!)

Well I suppose thats all I have to say for tonight. But first I'd like to leave you with a few photos:

This one I took at the Zoo... seemed interesting...



This I took at El Matador... I suppose they had a label mix up...



And I made a cake once....



Alright... I'm gonna go play some scrabble with some people at Zera!

fortune cookies and curiosity (Warning:Don't read it, it makes no sense)

Tonight at work(Pei Wei Asian Diner) A man who had just finished his meal vigorously tore off the plastic from an individually wrapped fortune cookie, broke the cookie in half, and pulled out the fortune. But to my surprise he didn't even glance at the little sheet of paper, he didn't even pause a moment. He simply discarded it atop the pile of rice that he had not eaten. Was he in such a hurry to eat his cookie that he didn't have time to stop and read his fortune? Could it be that he doesn't believe in such fortune nonsense and thus ignores the fact that there was something written on his paper? Was he practicing a strange religion that involves suppressing curiosity? Who knows? I for one don't believe that the little fortunes have any significant meaning whatsoever, in fact most of them aren't even fortunes at all but rather they are random proverbs and silly sayings. But the fact that I have already seen every fortune that our Pei Wei cookies have, and the fact that they are most often very un-amusing, does not change the fact that with every fortune I see that has been left behind by a customer, I have a burning curiosity deep within me to read every single one. I think it comes from the hope that maybe the next one I read will say something new, something different, something inspiring(that has yet to happen).

Anyways, I was just taken aback by the gentleman's lack of curiosity. I personally am inclined to agree with something I once read which said:

"Your curious nature will take you far in life" ... and yes, that is a fortune cookie saying

I'm not sure what I'm doing...

Well this is the first post of what will most likely be a very scattered and undirected blog of randomness. I don't know how often I will update, and I don't know what the contents will be, perhaps an occasional recipe, a life update, math equations, poetry, who knows? It could be that this will be my one and only post, we shall see. But for now I must begin my journey home. So I leave you with a question... if you subtract 3 from infinity do you have less than infinity?
