because I can

It's the inane details divulged to the world with the expectation that everyone else is as interested in your life that keeps happy hours happy (ha! I was gonna make fun of the blog world by posting a blog about the silliness of the innane detail exposure through blogs, but that kind of semi-selfconsious banter is SO last year...and so Web 2.0ver it... So here are a few: 1. After a delicious sandwich for lunch (thanks ivano!), I couldn't get a poppy seed out from between two of my front teeth. After a few minutes of shoving my fingernails, paper towels, water and saliva into the crevice, I managed to crush the poppy seed. It smeared across the junction between my two front teeth, leaving a beautiful black line that was far more apparent that the solitary, edible punctuation mark that I had before. 2. The so-pasteurized-and-processed-so-you-don't-have-to-refrigerate-them-EVER single-serving half-and-half containers in the office kitchen disappeared on Friday. In place was a note, in three different colors of magik marker, saying that we got a bad batch of "Mini Moos" and that more are on the way. In the mean time, regular, fridge-needing half and halfs are in the refrigerator in a black plastic bowl left over from the last catered event. It's Monday afternoon and the fridge-friendly dairy shots are all gone! and the new Mini Moo shipment is nowhere in sight. What am I going to do????? 3. Today, I'm wearing the pants that have hung in the closet for over a year. It had been so long that I'd worn them that I forgot WHY I stopped wearing them. Well. When I was outside taking deep breaths in an attempt to recover from the Mini Moo crisis we are facing around 2 PM, I realized why I hadn't worn these pants for a year. They're freakin' high waters. And wearing high waters in San Diego is kinda funny for two reasons. First, socks here are highly optional, and showing off black socks and black office shoes is like wearing a big "I'm a dork" sign. Second, we're in a mega drought and high waters in a drought are kinda sad, especially when I think about the thirsty trees that are stressed out with the lack of rain.
