It’s nice to just send something out into space, so much more vague and abstract (and pleasantly so) than having my thoughts in print, right there, in black and white. Blogs are on the web, which is some ephemeral technology that I don’t fully understand anyway, and can’t really comprehend in the same way that I can’t really comprehend a billion dollars. Meaningless. Therefore I write all kinds of things that I probably would never say or write in real life, because it tickles me and it doesn’t really do any harm anyway because in a few days the entry will be buried in the archives and the three people that have read it will be busy with other things.

Five Things

In my fridge

Fruit salad
Big Tex pink grapefruit juice (the kind in the can)
Peanut butter cookie dough (chilling before I put it in the oven tonight – yum!)
Corn tortillas (bought in those big bags of fifty or so - a staple at our house)
Guiness

In my closet

Guitar
Bathrobe
My favorite belt with the big flowered buckle
Sleeping bag
Box of hats, knitted by me, that I don’t know what to do with

In my purse

Homemade lip balm
My “random thoughts” notebook
Approximately $14 in small change (or so it feels)
Excedrin Migraine
My prize collection of ancient ATM receipts

In my car

WD-40
My favorite big red sunglasses
Minnesota DeLorme topo map
A roll of toilet paper (you just never know)
The Grapes of Wrath
