OK, first of all it's national library week. So go to the library. I know I do, and you should too. I also was told this week to put limes in my armpits, which I will not do. Just in case you are curious about what I will and won't do.

Second, I have decided to write a book, only this one will be fantastically remunerative. Speaking of which, I went back and re-read my old book, that I wrote with dimitri. I have to say, it's kind of a good read, really informative.

Elsewhere in the news: I came across a washed up seal this weekend, which was sad and staring at me with big glassy eyes. So I found a cop and told him about it and before you knew it, a pick up truck with marine wildlife rescue came and shoved the seal in a box, like what you would carry a dog in, and carted him off. Poor feller.

Speaking of marine biology I bought some sardines. I got them from a place that I really liked, called Lombardi's Cheeses, which is a great ecclectic cheese shop, which, I found out, is going out of business. I hate to darkly prognosticate that the world will soon be nothing but starbucks and walgreens, with the odd radio shack stuffed in, but it certainly seems like that.

But the point is I bought some sardines there, as well as some razzcherries that were dipped in chocolate. I ate the whole bag, which was kind of indulgent. Plus I had already eaten a whole pineapple that day. Ever since my baby left me high and dry, I have been eating rather sporadically and odd combinations of foods. For I have no one to give me guidance on the road of life. So I ate a whole pineapple, and I washed it down with some other stuff, like spelt pretzels and then a bag of sunflower seeds. Pretty much something from each of the food groups, if you consider fruits and seeds and spelt different food groups. But pineapple, being full of nutritious bromaline is something people just don't eat enough of. That and asparagus.

And a final note on a party I went to full of local glitterati. I went there and had some cake and it got all over my hands and I had to furtively wash them with a napkin that I dunked in my water glass. Besides that it was a pretty good party.
