Recent Observations

1) Blogger has been absurdly unavailable in the last few days, resulting in a complete lack of posting on my end, and occasional quadruple-posting on Phoebe's. Frustrating!

2) I'm experiencing a gummi-bear renaissance, having recently rediscovered gummi bears after a long gummi-bear-less period in my life. They are especially good when pronounced GOO-mee BARE-ghi-uh. Rainbow carnage!

3) Snow is pretty. Random strawberries on a snow-covered sidewalk are very pretty, but also induce strawberry cravings.

4) Strangers are remarkably unhelpful. Say you had...a "friend"...who fell flat on an icy sidewalk, spilling groceries all over said icy pavement. And say this friend lay on the ice for a stunned five seconds, collecting himself. One might expect said passers-by to help. Did they? My sources say: no. Ouch!
