A good breakfast better include bacon
bacon
everything is better with bacon
eggs benedict
sooo rich and creamy. the protein makes up for the fat and cholesterol, right?
bloody mary/peach bellini
morning cocktails were a great invention. bloody mary, extra spicy if i need a pick-me-up, peach bellini if i’m feeling elegant.
I'd rather see
I like to watch people and imagine where they might be going, what they do for a living, what their lives are like, what they wanted to be when they were kids.

HDTV, please
my current tv has been moved twice and though it’s only a few years old, it’s dying a slow gasping death. the picture isn’t sharp anymore and the speakers always make a sort of humming white noise. lately i’ve noticed the picture is projecting slightly larger than the viewable area of the screen, and the image is slightly tilted. i fear one day i’ll flip the thing...
my only vice: lip balm
since middle school i’ve not been able to go anywhere without lip balm. it is the only thing i am actually psychologically addicted to, and i will quietly freak out if i’ve somehow forgotten it in another pair of pants.
for many years i worshipped at the altar of burt’s bees beeswax lip balm. my friend meghan recommended it (i think her then-boyfriend, now-husband josh...

snipers are everywhere! ...right?
‘wanted’ did nothing to help me get over my fear of snipers.
i can’t remember when i first became paranoid about snipers, but at one point in my childhood i wanted to be a sniper, so maybe that’s the root of it all; imagining being a sniper, and thinking like a sniper, makes one realize how vulnerable one is.

i want a pet snow leopard. i could ride him down the side of the mountain - he would be so fast! he could protect me from muggers/intruders with his fangs and claws. he would be cuddly at night and i could rub his ears and hold his giant fluffy tail, or maybe curl it around me like a big self-heated scarf. all around, it would be awesome. even better? if we were telepathically linked like...

this is not the cover for this book. plinky’s ‘find artwork’ thing seems to be broken.
the run-on sentences and overly-elaborate trying-to-sound-smart word choices, that some people seem to think are artistic and deep (i suspect i’d dislike these people) were so exhaustingly annoying that i stopped after 5 pages. i’ve never not finished a book before, or since....
Three overplayed songs I love anyway
i don’t listen to much radio, but when i do, a lot of it sticks.
