five thousand shades of blue
Wednesday, August 22, 2001
The change in the weather yesterday seemed to profoundly affect everyone I knew yesterday. Perhaps the pressure served to put us all off center. Everywhere I went it was like I was a half-beat behind and walking into people, or stuck behind a moron in traffic, or trapped in the shampoo aisle at the store by a very large woman in her mobility scooter (oh, the irony of that little scenario). The humidity and the pressure fluctuations threw almost everything sideways. It was not a pleasant day for me.
The exception being dinner, where Andra and I made chinese pork dumplings and laughed 'til our sides hurt because the wonton wrappers did not maintain structural integrity after being boiled, and the filling kept falling out of them. They were good but before cleaning up it looked as if a pair of toddlers had tried real food for the first time.
The other exception being that the café's connection didn't go down all day. Let me explain that this is the first time in almost 2 weeks it hasn't dropped at all -- thanks to that damned Code Red virus.
is
this just not enough…?
