Buffy season three has arrived. I’m getting back on the horse, time to feed the addiction.
I’ve only watched four episodes so far, but I plan on watching a few more today. It’s good to have the slayer back in my life.
My big decision for the day is going to be what to have for lunch. I think I’ve decided on Kraft Macaroni & Cheese, but I still haven’t ruled out tuna fish or pierogies. Yesterday I ate an obscene amount of sushi, it was fabulous. My friends and I went to a place called Maru in Clinton, CT, an establishment I recommend whole heartedly. I had a dancing eel roll, which was simply divine, plus some bean curd Inari. I also sampled a wide variety of foods from my friends’ orders, as seems to be the custom when eating sushi. I even had some Spanish Mackerel!
After some careful contemplation I think I’ve finally decided on Mac & Cheese. I’m not ready to start cooking yet though, so I’ll put it off a little longer. What I could use though is more coffee!
Hooray for more coffee! I really think we should replace Columbus Day with “Hooray for the Guy Who Invented Coffee Day.??? If anyone deserves a national holiday it’s that guy. I’d even take Spongebob Squarepants Day, anything would be better than Columbus Day. My spell-checker does not recognize Spongebob Squarepants as real words. That’s going to have to be fixed as soon as possible.
I’m currently reading an Umberto Eco book entitled “The Island of the Day Before.??? It’s a little odd, I just read an entire chapter on the allegorical significance of doves. Why? Typically with Eco everything will have some meaning by the end of the story but I’m still pretty confused. It’s taking me longer to read than I had anticipated and I really want to start reading the new Douglass Preston/Lincoln Child novel, so I think today I’m just going to have to buckle down and finish it. That is if I don’t get distracted by Buffy.
Well I think I’ve put off Mac & Cheese long enough. Time to start boiling some water, it’s a mundane step, but crucial nonetheless.
Ok my water’s set up for boiling. They say that adding salt to the water helps bring it to a boil quicker. I, for the life of me, can’t figure out why, but I do it just the same. It can’t hurt I guess. I’ve never seen Rachael Ray do it, so right there doubt has been cast, because we all know that Rachael Ray is all knowing and all powerful. I understand she’s getting married, and not to me. This is all very disappointing. I was sure we were meant to be. Oh well, I guess I’ll just have to settle for Gillian Anderson.
Well, it looks like my water might be boiling so I’m going to try and devote my full attention to the Mac & Cheese.
Peace
