Neighbor

I just heard this.  Hard to sleep after working the night shift when you have to laugh at stuff like this.

"When you meditate, you're trying to be everywhere.  When you're not, you're just in one place.  This is a problem b/c I'm trying to be in 2 places."

Check this article out.  I got around to listening to the podcast last night and I laughed out loud a few times.  What a random topic.

I'm so happy I don't work in the ER.

Top Chef

I hated the show.  It's a horrible thing to put back on TV. 

I do admit I like saying, "I'm not your bitch, BITCH." 

Southport Grocery & Cafe

Just had a great lunch at the Southport Grocery and Cafe.  The wait was a surprise since it's a weekday but worth it.  I had the:

 sweet & savory french toast · 8
challah bread french toast topped with rosemary roasted ham-gruyere & a side of maple syrup (featuring Maple Valley Organic syrup from the grocery)

It was so good.  Sweet and salty at the same time (insert Iron Chef girl judge laugh here).  Hit the spot.  And I would totally get it again. 

Conversation was good too.  Had lunch with a cousin.  She brought up the fact that there were so many people out.  Do they work, or what.  I think the only people out at this time and all the time are the rich, the retired, and those who work from home.  Maybe?  Maybe not?  The ladies with the Bug A Boo strollers, Gucci purses, and the multi-carat rings were there and didn't look to be in any rush or with a spouse.  Reminded me of the Mind of Mencia re-run ("What's a re-run?" - kid from Back to the Future 1) I watched where he asked people on the street their reasons for not being at work during normal work hours.  He made some unemployed dude sell oranges.

Shit, I only work 3 days a week.  These people could be like me...but I highly doubt it.

text messaging

There is a guy on a plane with a tshirt that has tons of lions and tigers all over it and its signed by sigfried and roy. So random.  What a dork.

The best text message ever. This was from my friend on a plane to Maryland.  If you happen to be this man, please leave a comment.  You are the bomb. Please don't carry one.

fried rice

It's not right to order fried rice from a Thai noodle establishment.  It comes out all wrong.  Wet and mushy.  Not firm or shove-able.   I did it in support of the Thai people though.  Shit sucks when you're gov't is being overthrown.  Need some People Power?

eat meat

tofurky...it's really something.  http://www.tofurky.com/
check it out. 

i'm happy to be a meat eater. 

soy sauce

It's alarming to see the ingredients in the soy sauce sent with your chinese take-out. 

"Water, salt, caramel color, sugar, mono sodium glutamate, 1/10 of 1% sodium benzoate (preservative)"

This is not what it should be.  I Wikipedia'd it:
Soy sauce (US) or soya sauce is a fermented sauce made from soybeans (soya beans), roasted grain, water and salt.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soy_sauce

Isn't that just repulsive.  I never use this.  But I don't know if restaurants lower themselves to use this.  Maybe this is how your lunch special costs less than your monthly bank fee.

In any case, my hot & sour lemon grass soup is superb.  Make my nose run.

awake

So tired.  At work.  It's 3:57am.  I've floated to another floor.  I miss my floor.  I have to stand up to stay awake.  Damn, wish I had better sleep today.  Had a great time with the family today.
