Let’s see if I can be a bit more focused today. Yesterday, I was all over the place…clean room, pink eye, dancing around, Guitar Hero, Ooh! Look! A crow! Ca-Caw! Kudos to you if you were able to keep up. If not, even greater kudos to you…that means you’re normal. It’s all good.
I’m just finding ways to procrastinate the Great Review of Deez Nuts. The multiple bags of almonds that were sent to me last month. The multiple bags of almonds I’ve been eating like a nut-deprived squirrel. The almonds I’m eating this very second. I’ve found myself skipping meals as I’ve loaded my gut full of nuts already. I know almonds are supposed to healthy, but I doubt in the mass quantities I’ve been consuming. So, there’s that.
What else am I procrastinating about? Working on some other websites. I had the bright idea, “Hey, why don’t I draw some comics?” “Ooh, yeh. That’ll be great. Get on that.” But, you know, I’m not always so hot at the picture pages. I was clearly high on diaper fumes when I made that suggestion. I am good at a sketch I’ve been doodling away on for say a few months or maybe years. I took a Cognitive Psychology class (psych, my minor; psychotic, my state of being) in undergrad, a class which was ummm not so lively and interesting. There was this larger African American woman always seated a few rows in front of me. Sometime during the first week of class, I started sketching the back of her head on the side of my notes. She had several folds of bloated skin on her neck (i can’t bring myself to write fat because i can’t imagine the current state of the back of my own neck). Every class when I would start to lose interest in what the professor was saying, instead of battling to keep my eyes open I would flip to that page of notes and work on my masterpiece. By the end of the quarter, I had completed a perfect rendering of the back of this woman seated in a desk. So, yeh, that’s the extent of my artistic talents with pen and pencil.
I see many stick figures in my future.

Hmm, the Internets taught me something today!! Since I’m so concerned about your health, I googled “almonds arsenic” and learned that modern-day growing methods have almost entirely bred arsenic out of almonds.
Why was I concerned? I had a coworker, Jan, who grew up in Almond, NY. She always had fresh almonds around and ate bushloads of them from the carepacks her family sent her after she moved to DC. She became lethargic and dizzy, had trouble concentrating and went to her doc. She had arsenic poisoning!!
All things in moderation, Dee. Mix those nuts up with some other food groups, please!

Wow, deadly almonds, diaper fumes, neckfurters AND original art…what more could you ask from a blog, I’d like to know? Nothing, that’s what. There’s nothing else you could ever hope to see on a blog. You got it all baby. Now go challenge me to a game of WordTwist

Good Morning, Tel Aviv. Yes, tp, Great Minds Think Alike (i had to look up the ‘gmta’ acronym…i’m pathetic like that).
nylon, dee lives!! I have survived the Mass Eating of the Arsenic Almonds! You’ll be glad to know there are only 8 or so in the bottom of each 1 lb bag…enough for me to take a photo of the different piles after which point in time I’ll shove them all in my mouth and taunt the arsenic gods with my reckless almond ways. Thank you for your concern, though. Really, I had no idea. Nice to know.
Neckfurters! Ha! Now that is an awesome word. Neckfurter.
XUP, have you given any thought to being my press agent? I see us going places together.
Oh, and I sucked at WordTwist for you last night. Go and feel word superior.
Yeh, Andrea, you do that. It might help if you tell your clients that I’m 8-years old. An 8-year old with a potty mouth and fondness for curbs.

I’ve had all sorts of thoughts in regards to you and me, honeychild. Press agent is good. I can actually do that. I sort of went to school for that and everything
