I should make this a sign…
Thursday, August 21st, 2008I’d say she was a damn good spy
Thursday, August 14th, 2008Newly Released Files Show Julia Child Was a Spy
Fascinating. I never would have guessed the beloved chef was a spy!! But then, I guess it makes sense. She did have all of those knives around and traveled internationally to show off her culinary (and cutting) skills. Who knew Julia Child was a bad ass (or could have been but I think the story is more fun if she was – so there)!
How do you know when you need therapy?
Wednesday, August 13th, 2008I mean, I’m sure there are some obvious clues for some people…imaginary friends, giving handfuls of popcorn wrapped in tin foil as “nice” gifts, liking Rod Stewart music…that sort of thing. But what if the signs are subtle?
It’s no secret that I don’t like mass transit. I honestly thought it might be easier to bear now that I’m only taking it three times per week. I was wrong and having that thought in the first place should have been my first clue.
This morning, I was waiting patiently for the PATH train when a woman walked up next to me. That would have been fine had she STOPPED walking. Instead she walked directly into me and then stayed uncomfortably close until the train pulled up. Then she walked into me again, pushing me onto the train. She pushed me until she could run to a seat. Fortunately, I was able to restrain myself from punching her in the face. Unfortunately, the only open seat was next to her. I sat down and began my normal commute zone out. After the next stop I looked around at the incredibly and uncomfortably packed train and thought back to a movie my boyfriend and I watched recently. 28 Weeks Later. It’s about a virus that spreads rapidly through the population and makes everyone zombies. Since I was in a jam packed enclosed space I looked around and thought “if that happened now I’d totally be dead.” Then I looked directly at the woman who pushed me and thought: “If I become a zombie, I’m killing you first.”
I wonder if that’s a second clue?
