National Monkey Gorilla Suit Day
A damned dirty rip-off from that other place
  • *ding dong* Ooh! ooh! oooh! *scratch, ponder*
  • Quod vide
  • Double comments!
  • I had papaya and some octopus leftovers for breakfast. Mmmmm-yeah.
  • Cheese-filled tortellini with a refreshingly lite mushroom sauce, roasted peppers...
  • Lunch today was squash soup and jambalaya...both homemade and ass-kickingly delicious.
  • Spiced Gouda sammich and Montreal Smoked Turkey sammich -- the smoked turkey is disappointing. Not a regular purchase, and won't ever be.
  • I think I'm going to get a cookie from the vending machine.
  • I have a box of Smarties that I'm about to open up. Real Smarties, not those fake, chalky ones Koko prefers because of her stupid American DNA.
  • *nibbles on pumpkin Kit Kat*
  • You mean imitation M&M's? Hey, whatever floats your canoe.
  • Oh, it's floated, baby.
  • Fresh rye flour smells faintly of chocolate when it's first hydrated. Yum.
  • MonkeyFilter: smells faintly of chocolate when it's first hydrated
  • *steals gomi's kit-kat*
  • But...this could have been a new post... (Toast with Marmite. I am so boring.)
  • I don't think this is a double-post, as it is celebrating the 2007 celebration. Can we not do Christmas gift exchanges more than once? Can we not talk about each year's Oscars or New Year's Resolutions? As such, I am prepared to treat this non-double-post with the thoughtfulness and consideration that I show all non-double-posts.
  • oatmeal again.
  • I got the cookie. There was a moment of cold panic when it got stuck on the way down, but then it fell the rest of the way. All is well. I ate half of it, and am saving the other half for later. I put it in my desk drawer. There's a salt & pepper shaker in there too. It's funny; I hardly ever use that salt & pepper shaker, but I keep refilling it because other people keep borrowing it! They're like, "Hey koko (except they don't call me 'koko' at work; they call me by my work username, which is baybEE_grrl67), do you still have that salt & pepper shaker?" Like I'd ever let go of that! It's a 2-in-1 dealie, with the salt on one side and the pepper on the other, and little flip-tops for each side. So cute! Even though I haven't brought a hard boiled egg for lunch for months and months and months, I still keep it around because you just never know. I mean, someone might bring me french fries! Plus, before I had my salt & pepper shaker, I never had any visitors. Now it's like Grand Central Station in here! I think that guy from welding just uses it as an excuse to talk to me. I mean, correct me if I'm wrong, but pepper doesn't really go with coffee. But maybe that's a Filipino thing? Do you think he likes me?
  • This is just an incredible coincidence, but my username at work is also baybEE_grrl67. Wow.
  • Trader Joe's bitchin' tomato soup with peas and corn added. Hella good.
  • Ham salad.
  • I'd make a mess at the table with Koko's duo-shaker, just know it.
  • Fighting the urge to gobble some 70% chocolate. Damned chocolate monkey on my back.
  • Brown bread toast and bramble jelly again.
  • I just had some oatmeal with cinnamon and raisins. Later I might have some couscous with pesto and feta cheese. (that's unless anyone offers me some homemade jambalaya, dammit.)
  • Quinoa muesli with extra dried fruits for breakfast. Lunch is looking unlikely due to meetings.
  • Toasted bread with mozzarella and anchovies. Mmm-mmm.
  • OK, so for last night's cooking endeavour I made black bean & jalapeno soup, and packed it up for today's lunch but forgot to bring it. I had a small taste as it was cooking and it was pretty damn good (not as good as the previous day's curry squash soup but that was a tough act to follow).
  • I got a rock.
  • Paper. Good old paper, nothing beats... uh, DUH!
  • Kit, what exactly is bramble jelly? It sounds, uh, painful...
  • Silly kit. Blackberry jelly! I'm a bramblin' man Bramblin' round . . .
  • I haven't had sugar in nearly 4 weeks.
  • Neither has Louie! Hey, have you two met?
