Two Cent Thoughts, part the deux, 11-14-05

[greybeta]

Okay, my fine friends, I'm bored. I mean, I know you have real lives, but for goodness sakes write more! I want to know. Or at least give my wandering mind food for thought. Comment every once in awhile at least to give me soemthing to respond to.
------------------------------------------
I finally tracked down the enigmatic Maph on Yahoo Messenger today. Maph is the puppy/army man who is currently stationed in Iraq, in northern Taji or the "redneck part of the town" as he calls it. I had to fill him on the crazy stuff going on in my life. Of course, he had the perfect solution.

Maph: Do you know what you need Daniel?
Me: Uh oh...
Maph: Hot sex.

I can never tell if he's kidding or if he's serious. Sometimes he's so forceful that I think he isn't kidding. But he's Maph, which is all I can say about the enigmatic man. He did somehow get me to promise to at least ask a girl out on a date when I got back to TU next semester instead of being resigned to an arranged marriage.
------------------------------------------
I learned that I should avoid alcohol anyways due to my depressive state, as alcohol itself is a depressant. I should also watch my intake of chocolate and cheese as well.
------------------------------------------
The wife of my BSU director hates fantasy football because she believes it makes people root against their teams, like my director rooting against the Cowboys one weekend. But I told her that I do cheer for my team.

My fantasy team.

I just ate some squid jerky. I wonder, what is the strangest food you have ever eaten?

Might as well eat as much squid jerky as you can since Howard won't let you make it up here.

I'm going to have to tell the squid jerky story in the near future.

Alligator while I was in Minnesota.

Sounds tasty.

Rice-walnut-soy sauce popsicles. Apparently it's a Japanese regional dish from the area where the landlady from the ryokan in Tsumago was from. Quite delicious, but weird.

Also, you seem obssessed with food -- most of your questions to your audience are about eating and food! That's not a point of criticism -- it does give me an excuse to use my 'eating' icon!

I want to go to Japan some day, too.

And I think the medicine is making me randomly eat more, so I'm becoming more obsessed with food.

I'm not sure, but I think it makes me eat more, too. I know I've pudged a little, and I'd like to blame it on something :0)

I knew it! Hopefully the doc will get me off the meds soon.

Not chocolate and chesse!?!?! NOOOOOOOOO I love those things! :(

I have eaten soft shell crab before. Now, I love crab, but I don't want it in the shell still! Uugggghhh. I've had squid and octypus before so I'm sure others think it's strange.

I'll try and update more just for you sensei!

Soft shell crab is a delicacy!

Thanks for writing more, grasshopper.
