i've now eaten a pair of strawberry pop tarts (tm) two days (late night/early morning) in a row. what's wrong with me? they're gross and stupid.

schoko-bananen, however, are very addictive and yummy. i apologize for the weird photo, but i'm too lazy to shoot one myself and this was the only one i could find online without getting up to check the box for a website.

ok, fine, i checked for a website. there is none.

just kidding. it's manner.com. weird, huh? cuz it's in austria, and the whole thing's in zee german. they have tiny pix of the box i have (which is the same one pictured in the above-linked photo). here you go, if you really want. what a weird way to use sex in advertising.

why i dumb? here is the same page in english. i have the pack of 24.

near closing on tuesday feb15, a 12- or 13ish-year-old girl (who's used the library computers for aim like crazy since before i got the job there) ran back to one of the pcs as i shut it off, looked frantically near the keyboard. as she picked up something red, she half-whispered, half-yelled: "tooth!"

yeah, i was weirdbusy yesterday, so the valentine's day post is a day late, but only about 80 cents short. isn't that just like me?

i've been a fan of this goofball since something like 2001. enjoy it, or ... don't. i still love you.

i ran three miles in 20 minutes yesterday (12:03 pm to 12:23), then ran two cool-down laps in lane 7 (2 x 7 = 14, getitgetit?) in five minutes. it's amazing what a wonderful spoon full of sugar can do to motivate the hell into you. grrrrrrowr and similar exclamations of painfuljoyhappiness. i swear, i'm not quoting "mary poppins," but i do like that movie.

oh, were you expecting something else? silly.

so much for ash wednesday.

i saw a grand total of two people with dirty foreheads -- one was a teen-aged girl, the other was a toddler. this, after seeing a muslim pray in the middle of the westernmost walkway in the library just a few days ago.

hooray for gratuitous displays of religiosity!

because i'm a "follower," here's this cute graphic. i have no idea why there's an apostrophe after the "gonna."

if hitler is alive, he was at my library today.

he had the awesome mustache, was frickin' old as water. the upper part of his face (mostly the left side) was weirdly disfigured, like he survived bullets aimed at his head and/or got partially burned during his escape.

he sat just a bit east of the center of the branch and when he left, he walked all the way to the back and around, counter-clockwise, like a crazy swastika. i did not snoop hard enough to figure out what book he returned to the folio section, but it was either "art in venice" (art), "american craft museum" (art), or "winslow homer" (art).

hitler was a painter.

case closed.

i should be working, but i did this instead.

your departure rips the very fabric of time and space, ossie davis. happy travels!

for fans of "army of darkness" and "grumpy old men," i highly recommend "bubba ho-tep," in which davis plays ex-president john f. kennedy.

really. i'm sure he'd rather see people smile anyway.

forgot to mention: wednesday, i took note of two female patrons at the library, dead ringers for jan duursema and linda bowen. it was weird. also saw mr. starkey from canoga park high checking out books. always thought he was strange.

i've started compiling a list of books i'm going to write. funny, the things that go through my head as i empty the outside bookdrop.

like i'm going to have time! seriously, i just have alternative titles for a few. they just beg for it. because i see so many books each day, my mind has created games to keep me occupied. if only manju and susan knew. they do similar things, but they're always amazed i can cheerfully come back to the front desk every fifteen minutes and cart away another stack of books to shelve. whatever. they're probably capable, they just don't know it.

losing focus ... me on stupid theraflu meds. um. a sample, right: "how to wash your face" by barney kenet and patricia lawler. i kid you not. my book will be "how to wipe your ass."

i woke up wednesday morning with a righteous sore throat and cough. life makes such things worthwhile.

nobody feel sorry for me. my spoon makes me super-human (not in a nazi way though).

i made it to class way early, so i ran 2 x 400m at what i thought was a pretty good clip. took 4 minutes.

-- i just had a pretty kickass cough (11:29 pm), with spectacular results. thought you'd like to know. --

then rick a. (a master's student in kinesiology whom i've known as a running instructor for the past year) shows up and tells the class it's pre-test time. bear in mind this is our second meeting. maybe since i was 15 minutes late to the first class, i didn't hear the announcement. judging from the looks of shock, i think it was news to everyone else though. very cool. i probably would have been all nervous about it had i known. pre-test involves running 6 x 400m, which is roughly 99.2 percent of 1.5 miles.

he had us run a lap to warm up. so yay, i got about a three-quarter mile in before we had the test. as erich kartmann would say, "kickass!"

armed with a mind full of happy thoughts and a punky cd by some unknown band, i ran the thing in 10m06s.

happy anniversary!

green day "american idiot"

if there's one "episode" of this comic strip i want to show to all my beautiful, delicious, horny, god-fearing, mother-loving, sister-hugging, ectomorphic friends, this is the one.

i love you, penny arcade. i love you, spoon.
