This man at the food shop
I walk up to the counter of the fun middle-eastern place down the street from where I workMe: hi. Can I have a falafel and hummus sandwhich?
Old Man Behind Counter (OMBC): you know, there was a guy just like you that just came in. He wanted the same thing. I said, I think you would like this better (as he points towards a dish I don't recognize)
Me: Oh, what is that?
OMBC: [he says a few sentences that I can't understand]... Here, try some.
[he hands me a piece of pita bread with this 'stuff' on it. At first, it reminds me of when you get the chickpea vegetarian dishes - but it tastes much more different. It's really good. It has an almost meat-like taste to it.]
Me: Wow. This is great. What's it called?
OMBC: [words I don't understand]... it's vegatarian. No meat. Just [no idea what he says] and water.
Me: Neat. I'll have that instead. And a mango drink.
OMBC: OK, you will like this. This is a classic New York meal. You will love it.
Apparently, one of the ingredients was onion, which I eat a lot of, but this had a lot of onions in it. I know this because 6 hours later my stomach is still rumbling in protest.
Stupid stomach - I hate you.
I don't know the name of this place I went to eat, though. Reba took me there once. It's somewhere in the 20's and 2nd ave. maybe.
No POP in Hotmail
Yuck. It appears that Hotmail has finally turned off their POP Mail access on their accounts. This will of course means that I now have almost no reason to ever visit hotmail again.
Weird.
Deadlines
I have deadlines for projects all of a sudden. Damn. I have no time for fun. I am sorry.
PULL MY PANTS DOWN
Big Book of Sign Language: this was a 'week link' a while back. I never got around to looking at it until now, and this is some awesomely funny stuff.
Google Mirror
Aiyeee! Google done flipped or something!
Guidance Class
That was my favorite class in school when I was a kid. I guess I liked the fuzzy, feel-good aspect of it. I would love to find out what the requirements were for them to 'teach' over the course of the year. I suspect it would be hilarious.
Did you have guidance class in your elementary school?
It came to me
My pre-school girlfriend's name was Samanta. I wonder what she is up to.
