Feeling Listless?
My five favorite things about today:
5. Being a monkey in a ball.
4. Reading about the Texas State Democrats breaking quorum.
3. Finally reading words from my pals, the Bad Apples on their European rock star adventure.
2. Receiving two letters from two of my very favorite people on earth, two former roommates at the far ends of the earth, this afternoon. One came from NYC and was a “recipe tree” letter designed to appeal to the prematurely old lady in me. The other came from much further away Gifu City, on inexplicable stationery meant to appeal to the perpetual four year-old in me, as it was bordered with little frogs and rabbits and some peculiar squirrel-bear-deer hybrid that must only exist in Japan.
1. Making delicious Vietnamese curry with continually wonderful Jacob.
Following close behind is gladness that it finally rained, blowing that creepy, brown haze out of the sky and leaving nothing but delicious breezes blowing and gushing creekbeds and the particularly nice anticipation of falling into bed into clean, cotton sheets that smell like lavender.

The scary part is, that wasn’t even the kids’ stationery. Have I mentioned they sell Hello Kitty “personal massagers” here? There’s HK cell phones now, and it’s not kids buying those, either. If this were America, there’d probably be Hello Kitty tax lawyers and Ultraman SUVs.
Wait’ll you see what I’m mailing next… Sometimes I really love this country. Yatta!
