Brain Goo

In the interest of not letting two weeks go by without a post (because I promised myself I wouldn’t do that), I am writing this despite the fact that I am feeling decidedly un-bloggy this week. I do not promise to be coherent, consistent, or witty, but I do promise to try harder next time. Because I read somewhere that lists make people happy in the blogging world, and because it appeals to my current sense of slightly disillusioned apathetic laziness (dillapziness), I present to you:

A List Of Things That Barely Relate To One Another, And Have Nothing To Do With Anything

[Thing #0.5: The fact that, when posted, the title of this list will not all be on one line, is for the crazymaking.]

Thing #1: While on our way up north for some rained-soaked camping a couple of weeks ago, I saw a man playing the harmonica while driving. Playing the harmonica while driving. To his credit, we were in the middle of a stop and go traffic jam, but still. I have seen a lot of people do a lot of strange things while driving, but this one clearly takes the cake.

Thing #2: For lunch the other day, I ordered a delicious bread bowl filled with delicious soup from Panera Bread. Yum. But wait! There’s more! The lovely people at Panera gave me an unsolicited side dish with my bread bowl – an extra chunk of bread. This is enough to make a person’s head asplode. Now, I love bread. Like, a lot. But as you may have noticed, the meal I ordered was already made up almost entirely of bread. I appreciate Panera’s sentiment that, seeing as how I obviously already love bread, I should probably enjoy even MORE bread with my meal, however I feel pretty bad for Extra Chunk. Because Extra Chunk’s final resting place was Trash Can. And that makes me sad for starving Ethiopians everywhere*.

Thing #3: A list inside of a list - Things That I Have a Serious Love/Hate Relationship With: 1) Healthcare, of all types. 2) The Dentist. 3) Red meat [happy on the taste buds, sad on the stomach]. 4) Weather. 5) Whoever it was that decided it would be a good idea to invent those little plastic key-ring thingamabobs for stores that you use religiously but in reality have no idea what you’re actually using them for [please note that it is the inventor of said item that I have the love/hate feelings for, and not necessarily the actual item, although that may be applicable too].

Well. I do believe that those are all the Things you are going to get today, dear readers. This list was originally meant to have 5 Things, not 3.5 Things, but my brain goo has since dried up, and I am no longer synapsing at a sufficient rate. So, until next time, I love you for reading this, and will love you even more if you actually come back next time. Ate mais tarde!

 *As snarky as that sounds, I really do hate wasted food, for that very reason and more.
