January 14, 2001 - Music, Food, and Hobbes the Tiger
Silence.
Yes, I’ve been silent, haven’t I? Silence is bad. So, what’s happened in the midst of my silence and what’s going on now you ask? Lesee??? I’m currently wearing nothing but a pair of boxers and a pair of socks, which is rather common weblogging attire (not that this is necessairily a web loga matter to be dealt with another time, perhaps). I’m still out of work. 7-Eleven hasn’t called me back, so I guess no graveyard shift for me. I’m going to try Starbucks this week. I used to be the richest person I knew! Now I’m the poorest. Well, I don’t know that many people at the moment but I do know some. It’s not like I don’t know anyone else other than myself. Anyway.
What else??? I’m listening to Snap’s I’ve Got The Power as I type this sentence. What I’m listening to from sentence to sentence may vary in any given paragraph in progress. Why? Because I’m verbose at times, I’m prone to stalling mid-keystroke, and I edit my stuff frequently, especially since I can get too verbose. (Now Frank Sinatra is singing New York, New York.) Before I forget, I must mention that I’m waiting for my bananas to ripen. My mother gave them to me today.
I have a slice of salmon that’s been in the freezer for at least a few weeks. I planned on thawing it and eating it raw, as straight sashimi and maybe as part of nigiri and maki. I need to buy imitation crab meat, though. I ate all of what I had before. It’s so yummy and it really does taste like crab! I wonder if it’s possible to imitate shrimp meat? The shrimp would be flattered, yet how flatter they can get, I know not. Now I’m just being silly. Axl is bitching about how Mr. Brownstone won’t leave him alone. He just said “Yowsa”. Hobbes says that. Sometimes.
???or maybe he only said it once.
Believe it or not, but I spent the whole evening searching through my Calvin & Hobbes books and scouring the on-line archives to confirm whether Hobbes ever said yowsa. I found the strip that I was trying to remember. Turns out it was “yow” instead, and that was probably the only time, too, as I don’t think that was ever any kind of catch phrase.
