9/11/09 Friday GO!

1. I'm watching Trinny and Susannah on TLC. They've come to America and are making us over one by one. I adore them... probably because their accents make them sound less bitchy than Stacy and Clinton. Plus, Trinny and Susannah AND OH MY GOD THEY HAVE AN AIRSTREAM! Sorry, I was distracted. I meant to say, also, they're willing to embrace their own flaws too. Still, I've warmed to Stacy and Clinton, and honestly, I'd be pretty happy if any of them showed up on my doorstep carrying new bras.

2. Went to the farm to pick up my vegetables. I love my CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). You've never tasted vegetables until you've had them just picked. It's like the greatest corn on the cob ever. And the black-eyed peas? Smack my ass and call me Shirley, they're delicious. Of course, the dish also includes ham. My father called one night while I was making them, and he didn't understand what I was doing... "I hate black-eyed peas... used to have to put ketchup on them. Recipe? What are you talking about" Apparently, his mother just boiled 'em down and slapped 'em on a plate.

3. Amanda's Friday list had themes for each number. Are mine supposed to do that? I do not know. One of the commercials on TLC was for some pageant show (not the one with the babies, which I watched once, in the same way you watch the news after a train wreck), and some man said the following: "You can't put 10 pounds of sugar in a 5 pound bag." High class.

4. Still reeling from the news that the new iPods Touch do not come with cameras. Sigh. I think I'm still going to do it. I have 48 hours to decide (that's when they hit the street). It's between that and a Palm Pre, and Sprint has this ridiculous deal that practically pays me to make phone calls. Such a tough choice.

5. Today is the day we're supposed to be remembering. I do not want to. I want to wipe it clean... the sight of burning towers, the long walk north, the subsequent days of chaos and smoke. I heard that it was cold and rainy today... so much more fitting, I think.
