Walked out the door to get some lunch a bit ago, thinking I'd make my usual Thursday-afternoon trek to the Subway across Euclid Avenue. Got to the front door of Subway and realized that it was the last thing on earth I wanted to consume. So I walked like four blocks up Euclid to the hippie Food Co-Op, where I purchased the following: a small container of baba ganouj; three heads of organic broccoli; and a bag of something called "Stone Ground Corn Carrot Chips," which purport to be "made from stone ground corn, carrot juice, carrots, & whole wheat." They contain no preservatives, incidentally. So I got back to the office, stared quizzically at my purchases for a few minutes, then proceeded to begin chopping the broccoli with my desk scissors, since I don't tend to keep large, sharp vegetable-cutting knives in my desk. Just then, one of our student workers, Ian, whom I adore, walked in, started laughing his ass off, and asked me what the hell I was doing. The world continues to laugh at my resourcefulness. Someday they won't be laughing. Someday they'll bow before me! *shakes fist at heavens*
