your rice are belong to me

Rant time!
I went to go buy some more brown rice since I'm all out.
I went through 25 pounds in three weeks. Since Spencer has celiac so we eat rice for almost every meal. Our staple breakfast is brown rice, avocado, tomatoes and soy sauce.
I grind up rice for everything I bake.
You can imagine how furious I am that I cannot find rice in the stores. This rice shortage has thrown everyone into mass panic. I know people who have stocked cupboards full when I've never seen them cook even a cup of rice.
Everyone who freaked out and stocked up on rice go return your cases to the store unless you will actually eat it. Remember with every mouth full of rice you eat a starving kid in Africa is saved.

I overhead a 12 year old girl talking with her sister.

big girl: I know a girl whose black and she's actually really nice, I mean if you find someone whose black they can be really nice. Like, if you find one that looks nice. They are really nice people.

Younger girl: You're suppose to call them Native American.

Four years down

What's the most romantic thing you can think of?

If you said, "dead clown" you just guessed Spencer's four year anniversary present to me.



Spencer got tickets to Corteo the Cirque du Soleil play about a clowns funeral. We found our seats up by the some fans.
"Gross!" I tell Spencer. "Someone is smoking out side."
"That smells like weed"
And that's when the magic began...

The show was amazing as they all promise to be. The best is when the audience bounced a midget tied to balloons around like a beach ball at a concert. Sadly, if you did want to see Cirque for the costumes I would hold back on this show, unless you have money burning a hole in your pocket.

WHAAAAA!

It happened when Spencer went on his eco-savior rant talking about how narwhals are becoming endangered.
There is a long silence.
"Wait. They're real?"
Did you guys know narwhals are real? I thought they were made up like unicorns.
I better not find out that unicorns are real or I will start crying. I could have been riding one all these years!

It's comic book day

It's the day new comics come out hooray!

I went to the store to buy two mangoes, It was more difficult than I thought.
I looked at the two in the bag and felt unsure of my selection, tossed another one in and I immediately felt better. Spencer said he need four lemons I threw in an extra one. I began to notice the amount of produce I buy; five onions nine apple, five lemons, five avocado, seven tomatoes...etc.
I can't buy even numbers it just feels wrong.
I also don't like Adia's sippy cups to have matching cup and lid.

World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

Me: You know how people around here say...
Spencer: Gah! you were saying how great Utah was today but you hated living there I just think you're never going to be happy.
Me: Don't start fighting with me.
Spencer: I'm just concerned for you.
Me: Concerned?
(Spencer realizes there is nothing here he can say to justify)
Spencer:... Concerned that you're pissing me off.

Punching Poetry

I once met a drunk girl that proclaimed her love of sex.
"I love sex so much," she said. "That's why I don't have kids."
I didn't tell her where babies come from. I think it will be more fun for her to be surprised.

I went to an gallery opening tonight, there was a picture of mine displayed (hooray!). There were also poetry readings all themed around women.


I will share two lines from a poem that was read,
"You are a flower to beautiful to pick. Your fragrance to wonderful to leave alone."

The man reading had written the poem for his wife and when he finished I applauded, not to him but to his wife, because his poetry is to awful to have to be married to.

I found through most all the art (painting and poetry) was about sex.
I do believe that woman are very sexual however I feel that exhibiting woman with sex is a bit cliche.
Why is it that people do not explore other aspects of femininity?
When people continuously combine woman and sex, is it treating woman as sex objects?

I feel that it was also a maturity issue. Many of the people there looked like undergraduates.

So what do any of you think about this? I really am curious do you agree or disagree?
