Out of soymilk?

This coffee shop just ran out of soymilk...that is like McDonalds running out of french fries. How in the world do they stay in business with that kind of lack of planning? Sheeesh...

In addition, I'm pretty sure this petite guy I went on an awkward date with some time ago (who was also quite clearly gay) is sitting one seat over. I'm not sure if he recognized me. I'd texted that we should be friends to which he didn't reply. Everyone looks the same in this city though so I really can't tell if it's him and also kinda don't care.

No title

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dYlAwvz8uwc

This is such a great video. I liked it as a kid. Now I see it's all about bee-ing yourself :D

So now for some more rambly thoughts. Interesting how one day you can wake up and
just let go of everything. And then what's left over, that's what you actually are. The rest is 
just dressing. Like salad dressing. You are the salad, or something like that. Who knows :)

I think that's part of what I'm suppose to do. Is help people wash off all the salad dressing
and then be like...hmm...I'm a pretty snazzy salad. And whoever doesn't like this salad, and
would prefer a piece of steak, they can go to h***. :)

I dunno. I got my change in a deli and the guy went to put the 50 cents in my hand and it was gone!
lol, he actually did a magic trick. And it actually made me crack up laughing. Such a simple
thing, but I really was like "oh my! Where did the quarters go!?" like I was 5 years old or something.

Usually I think tricks like that are lame, but he did it as if he'd given me my change, so it was
unexpected. I guess funny things usually are unexpected, which is why knock-knock jokes suck.

Thoughts

I think random things sometimes. 

1) Cold Cut
I heard someone say "cold cut!" to someone else on the street. I wondered, is that a nick name? If so, is it an endearing thing, some inside joke that shows their deep connection as it's progressed over the years? A relationship that has deepened from the days of "bacon bits" to now be even more meaningful with this new nick name? Or is it the last straw before a fight?Pushing a button on someone who has maybe eaten one could cut too many. Or was someone just giving instructions on what type of meat to buy? And why is it that "ice cube" is a cool rapper name, and "cold cut" Is not? "Cut" is a cool word -- like being buff but without the bulk. "Cold" is a fairly cool word as well. But together? "Cold cut." Not a rapper name. Most foods and condiments found in the fridge/freezer aren't either -- yeah, I've thought about it. 

2)
I wonder how many years I will have spent polishing my finger nails by the time I'm dead. Will it have been worth it? Probably.

3)
The "laughing cow" cheese wheel is delicious. Not healthy. Is the cow laughing at you? 

4) I keep dropping things that are difficult to pick up. First, a salad (covered in dressing). Then, a piece of squishy laughing cow cheese. Next, a jellyfish (possibly). 

5) I like that in NYC you can see exactly how many people in your neighborhood are night owls by just looking out your window. It makes you feel better when you stay up too late eating squishy pieces of cheese.

6) I had a dream and woke up and wrote down, "Dating isn't a fish fry to catch them and -- just take what you can eat." Um..hmm...insightful dream. I'm craving fish 'n chips now.

7) Sometimes I can instantly tell the personality type of annoying strangers. And then I analyze why I dislike them, while their friends actually do like them. It's all so subjective. I sometimes wish their friends would see the light and agree w/ me, even though that makes no sense.

8) I found what I think must not be a quarter, in w/ my quarters. I couldn't read the characters of course, but the asian man wearing a hat leads me to believe it's from somewhere far away. Interesting how that got slipped in to the circulation. Not related...but did you know there is some concern over Canadian Spy Coins? And this doesn't appear to be an Onion article...http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/16572783/

The gladiator sandles are back...

It's been sunny the last two days. The gladiator sandles, the little dress, the flowy long dresses to the ground, the big sunglasses, the little dogs, the sun reflecting off everything, the people sitting at brunch -- I'm glad it's sunny now. 

For a while I was stuck in winter and sort of resented the sun threatening to come out, but now I've changed my mind. Blue skies and sun are pretty for a change.

I had to buy some Kmart stuff, like a shower curtain liner. I overheard two guys shopping together -- first though was they were a gay couple as we were in the cutesy bathroom accessories aisle. Then I hear them talking.

I wish I could do it justice, but it was basically discussion like they were either in a hardware store or making a complicated large purchase, or possibly trading stocks -- but they were two straight guys buying a shower curtain liner. 

"clear...clear...clear -- wait!" 
"What?"
"I just found a white one!"
"Jackpot!"
"Hold on -- what is this..."
"Ahhh...look at that."
"Tons of white ones!"
"Hold onto your hat, this one's opaque..."
"Look, look...I just found ten more opaque..."
"You have an option -- you can combine this with...that!"
"Yeah I see where you're going with that..."
"Double...yeah double layered."
"Ducky print...right here."
"Interesting."
"Maybe upgrade to this sea creature scene. Make it more, uh, festive."
"Yeah. swirly print there."
"What is this?"
"Seems to be a beach scene."
"Two beach scenes. This one has a sea turtle."
"hmm..."

And so on. Completely deadpan and serious. I've never heard anyone take such a purchase so seriously.
