random thoughts

it's late. i haven't posted today. have you noticed? oh...wait. it's not late for most of you. most of my readers live in america. it's not late there. here...well, here it is 9:30pm. not really late...but late for the first blog post of the day. and of course i really don't know what to write. so here is a picture from istanbul. and a few other things that have happened today.

i hear it is girl scout cookie time in america. stop the insanity. just stop. don't tell me about those thin mints, and tag-a-longs, and samoas that you get to eat. just don't tell me. i don't want to hear about it. i just want to crawl in my bed and cry. for the samoas. mostly for the samoas. i feel sorry for those poor tasty morsels of goodness. i feel sorry for them because another year is going by without me being able to partake. and they miss me. i can hear them crying now. (ok...i admit it. there is a girl scout troup here. we already had girl scout cookie time. i had a box of samoas all to myself. but it was like 2 months ago. and it was only one box. i can still hear the weeping. and they still deserve my attention. they need me.)

i went to the doctor for a check-up and had to do some of the craziest things. walk in a straight line on your tiptoes. walk forwards and backwards on your heels. push against my hand. show me your muscles. what color is this? stand up. sit down. fight. fight. fight. seriously. i was staggering all over the place because of how silly i thought it was.

after the doctor we went to eat chinese food. it was all delicious until they brought out the tea. i have had chinese tea before. it is good. i like it. normally. this tasted like toilet water. and i am not kidding. of course i haven't ever tasted toilet water, but this tasted exactly like a relatively clean public bathroom smells. i thought it, and brian said it. so it wasn't just me.

ok. that is all.
