i love clementines and bought two boxes last week. this past sunday, i found a nice little surprise in one of the boxes. at least i found it before it ruined the rest of the bunch. when i looked into the box, i thought it was funny how they reminded me of people. they were staring at the moldy one like there was something wrong with it, or they had just witnessed a fatal car accident.
whoa, what happend to him?
what a bunch of rubber-neckers.

then there's also this song running through my head...
[edited version of my funny valentine]
My funny clementine
Sweet comic clementine
You make me smile with my heart
Your looks are laughable
Unphotographable
Yet you're my favourite work of art
Is your figure less than greek
Is your mouth a little weak
When you open it to speak
Are you smart?
But dont change a hair for me
Not if you care for me
Stay little clementine stay
Each day is clementine's day
i watched a video over on pants party's blog and all i could think was how much the car crashes reminded me of fainting goats.
i just wanted to give a little background on my thoughts about sylar and my roach theory. here in georgia we see a LOT of roaches and last july i had a run-in with one that totally caught me off guard. i thought it was dead and after i went in for a closer look, the damn thing moved. so, of course when i saw the roach in sylar's room, i thought...no freakin' way. would he shut himself down and pretend he was dead? i know i over analyze things but hey, the show gives me a reason to.
anyway, for a while, i thought sylar might be able to figure out anything he wants because he could be a savant. the full description is a must read but here's a snippet of what reminded me of sylar's ability:
...Other skills include precisely estimating distances and angles by sight, calculating the day of the week for any given date over the span of tens of thousands of years, and being able to accurately gauge the passing of time without a clock.
in the episode when sylar knew dr. suresh's watch was off by 2 seconds off, the light bulb went off in my head that sylar's power might be savantism. if that's the case, our man sylar is crazy powerful. then again, he already knew that when he appeared in peter's dream and said, "you don't know anything about power."
and for anyone who might be interested, here are the entries that spawned my little roach theory...
I hate roaches

There's a roach lying on its back in my breezeway. After leaving the apartment this morning, I walked past him and he looked dead. He was on his back and I stared him down to see if he would move. Nope. No movement. Later I would find out he was faking it. It was when I came back to the apartment and noticed the roach had somehow moved 90 degrees. So, I'm thinking the wind blew him around. I go on to unload a few boxes and what do I see? The bugger had moved again, but he's still on his back. No way--he has to be dead. Then it happened. He moved his legs and antennae. Oh, hell. Here we go. I had to stop myself from screaming so I could calmly get back to the apartment so I wouldn't freak out my neighbors. This is exactly why you should never move a *dead* roach. He will take the opportunity to latch onto you, and then you find yourself screaming and running.Why he decided to play dead on our breezeway is beyond me. Lord knows I abhor roaches, and the big ones scare me so much that I can't bring myself to killing them unless I'm armed--pick your poison...Raid...Hotshot...whatever will kill on contact in a matter of seconds. I will never step on one. The crunching sound alone would make me faint. The fact that I'm writing about it makes me want to gag.
I'm tempted to spray him but I don't want to open the door and find that he's gone, and somehow managing to sneak into the apartment. YUCK. He's huge, and playing dead. What if he's hanging over the doorway and waiting to fall on my head. Unbelievable. Maybe he flipped back over and scurried off somewhere. I have to leave this place at some point. I will be armed.
I feel like screaming.
*gag*
Still there...

Well, the roach is still in the breezeway but someone beat me to him with the spray. Being on his back obviously fooled me once but now that all his appendages have withdrawn into his body, it's safe to say he is indeed dead. Hmmm. I hear the landscaper with his leaf blower. I hope he makes his way up here and blows the bugger off the landing. *crossing fingers*
on saturday, a couple of friends (mejo and court) met my brother and me for lunch at the cheesecake factory. we enjoyed our meals and i did remember to take a few pictures (thai chicken pasta, kahlua cheesecake and snickers cheeecake).
once court found her cabinet and filing system, she headed home and the rest of us met up with another friend and drove to an outlet mall. i found a pair of
then we headed over to the food court and as we walked through the entrance, i spotted a new type of vending machine with very interesting "snacks". a few months ago there was only an ipod vending machine (a.k.a. kiosk), and now there's a very creepy looking one for proactiv solution. all i could do was laugh and take a pictures. in another photo, with slightly different lighting, the kiosk sort of reminds me of a giant atm.
great episode last night. i was a little worried that sylar would be killed off but thank god for cockroaches. at least that's my theory. it's amazing what you can do if you put your mind into what ever it is you want to do. fortunately for sylar (and this is just my opinion), he had the mind of a roach to tinker with and figured out how to play dead. lol, awesome survival tactic if you ask me.
as usual, i'm left with a few questions. is there a connection between sylar and claire? claire's mom was talking to a guy with a (really nice) watch and maybe i'm reading too far into that.
and what's the deal with the invisible guy possibly having connections to other heroes? are we to assume that he's killed a few?
my biggest question. is there a connection between sylar and the petrelli brothers' father? sylar's mentally unstable--wasn't peter and nathan's father crazy, too? or maybe i'm thinking of niki's father.
hmm, maybe the 36 people on the list all had the same father...
thanks, patty. i'm not sure how i feel about my card but at least i like the image. :))
You are the World
Completion, Good Reward.
The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.
The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgments. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.
What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.
i forgot to post a couple of food photos from last week. i finally broke the apple and yogurt routine and made scrambled eggs topped with salsa. it's really good and even better as a breakfast burrito with cheese and refried beans.
then i had dinner with my brother at "korea garden" one night. we had two orders of kalbe and all sorts of ban-chan. least to say, there were plenty of leftovers for a couple of days.
my brother told me about a place he had tried with a couple of friends last week where the pho was really good. so guess what i had for breakfast? spring rolls and pho. sorry saigon cafe, but pho dai loi is my new fav.
i had to take a picture of the chopsticks because they weren't the usual plain bambo ones like most places we go to. their spring rolls were sooo yummy and what i enjoyed the most was how flavorful the broth was for my bowl of pho. what i also like about this place is that they serve small bowls of pho, too! i had the well done beef flank and tendon, and their sprouts and herbs were so crisp and refreshing. i can't wait for the next trip--they're only 10 minutes away!
