really, that's what i tell myself when i look at the "sell by date" on a container of milk or cream.  well, i've been sniffing a bottle of half-n-half i have in the fridge since sept 19th.  i use it in my morning coffee (and sometimes in red pasta sauce) but today i noticed that faint smell of approaching rot.  it wasn't overpowering at all and smelled more good than bad, so i used a couple of tablespoons in my coffee.  it was fine and i'm pretty sure i'll keep using it until there's a distinct, pungent smell but it makes me wonder if most people would've tossed the stuff by now.

for the first time in who knows how long, i'm actually feeling sleepy.  i was going to write about the wretched pain in my gut, which i'm pretty sure had to do with what i ate for dinner (fish and roasted vegetables), but i'm too tired to talk about it now. 

seriously, i'm typing this with one eye open so i better get to bed.

maybe i'll dream of having superpowers while i still have heroes on the brain.

anyhoo, nite all.

no more asparagus for me.  as much as i love it, my stomach seems to disagree.  last sunday i had asparagus, cubed steak and mashed potatoes.  the following day, stomach problems.  last night, i had fish (perch) and roasted sweet potatoes, zucchini and...asparagus.  today, stomach problems.

i cannot experiment on myself any more.  fare thee well, asparagus.

so i can enjoy my hot cocoa without sweating.  it's a warm 85°F here but i was craving hot cocoa and i sure as heck wasn't going to wait until winter to have some.  times like this, i wish my dad would have retired from the army while we were in alaska.  speaking of which, i just checked weather.com and it's 39°F in fairbanks.  i miss living up there...the long days and nights; walking through ice fog; watching the aurora borealis while lying on a blanket of snow; wearing snow suits and laughing like the pillsbury doughboy because of your waddle...  fun times, i tell ya.

i found out last week that one of my photos of pinky was chosen for "photo of the day" in the dog days group on flickr.  if you're a member (of the group, or flickr), please vote..for pinky and me (#3)....for photo of the week.  well, if not for pinky, then for me. ;)

honestly, i urge you to vote for the best photo in the pool.  so go vote for (#3).  it may not seem like a big deal, but it is to the competitor in me. 

thanks!

yeah, my doctor.  i'm seeing her again next week.  been having a weird vibraty feeling throughout my guttiwuts like clockwork.  so she says it's dyspepsia, but i'm thinking it's all in my gulliver. 

i'm stressed and losing my mind.

i need a vacation.

*sigh*

to the irresponsible smokers who keep tossing their burning cigarettes on the lawn a few feet from my apartment building: PLEASE STOP.  there has already been an apartment fire on a property near us, how about preventing one from happening here.

i guess it doesn't matter if the call was genuine or phoney, the message is clear: he's free to do whatever he wants (as long as it doesn't break any laws).
