Paris Je t'aime

After spending a lovely evening, enjoyably wading through the 18 short films contained in Paris Je t'aime, i have decided i have not traveled nearly enough. Those of you who know me are obviously aware of my love to travel, but for obvious reasons once you watch this film, it just hit me hard that it is high time i do something adventerous with my life.

What, when, where, and how are still well up in the air. So much in fact they are not even in sight. But that is fine. I am a patient person, i can wait till it comes to me. Untill then, I’ll keep finding things like Paris Je t'aime that will push me that much closer to adventure.

IF you hadnt guessed i highly recommend you go find this film and imbibe on it’s wonderfulness.

Wheat Thins

Today i have nothing: no energy, no motivation, and absolutely no original ideas....the only thing i have is an excess of wheat thins in my gullett....not my fault, the family size was cheaper than the regular size at the grocery store this morning...now im no good at math (in fact most would call me quite wretched at manipulating the numbers) but even i know that's messed up and should be taken advantage of. So i insouciantly snagged a larger than life "Family Size" box of Wheat Thins.

Halfway through the work-day with an overly full stomach, i now think the wheat thins took advantage of me. Blast Nabisco and their wondefully wheaty concoctions. I now need a nap of epic proportions.

Heroically High Class Placement Musings

Cigarette out one window and sputum out the other....obviously these were some top-notch, high-class drivers i was following yesterday on my way to Travers City.

While driving through the thriving metropolis of Traverse City which walks the outer rim of Michigan's list of top 5 biggest cities, i just had a lot of running thoughts on where i should be in life. Sometimes i just dont feel like i fit in our little cultural bubble of Petoskey, MI. Maybe just too much world travel in my younger years, or maybe I'm just meant to be somewhere else.

The problem comes from not finiding many places nicer than where i am.

Anywho....HEROES season 2 starts tonight, signalling the start of TV watching amdn movie nights at my place....which in turn signals the upturn of spending on groceries. i don't mind, i like playing host in my little upstairs apartment...that is, when i'm in a sociable mood. The Office starts on Thursday...i cannot wait.

Park(ing) Day

Today...

...is just one of those days that makes you want to punch a camel in the face a little.

Reese's Whipps

Found one of these at the local magical Walgreens this morning.

After consuming the bar of sweet sweet goodness i decided this is the resultant birth 9 months* after a Reese's peanut butter cup and a 3 Muskateers bar got it on in the backseat of an '89 volvo station wagon in the last row of the local drive-in theater.

*This is a generalization due to an inability to acquire the exact numbers on the gestation period of a candy bar.

Magic Walgreens

On my way to work this morning i had to stop at Walgreens to pick up some cold medicine due to a bug i picked up in Indiana last weekend. Upon walking up to the storefront; in my semi-sick, psuedo-conscious bleariness i examined the Walgreen's logo for the first time.



Now the mortar and pestle are a normal icon for a pharmicist, but what struck me is the stars. I didn't know Walgreens was a magic pharmicist...'cause that's what i see when i see stars floating out of a cup-like structure.

Do they have magic drugs?

It's certianly not magic service.

maybe a magic building...

And how do you know the difference between magic drugs and regular drugs? Are there more stars involved?
