hello, Jesus

today i asked myself a question that i'm sure many of you have asked yourselves at one time or another. "if Jesus appeared in my kitchen, right now, in the flesh, what would i do?" well, the first thing i'd do (after introducing myself, of course) would be to ask Him to help me do my dishes, as at the moment they are stacked rather high. and i'm pretty sure he'd say yes; he'd have to, he's Jesus. after that i'd offer Him a seat and ask a few questions. did it hurt? how's your old man? how long are you back for? is Jesus a Beatles man or a Stones man? how good is he at MarioKart? and then, after defeating Him in several races, i'd break out the big guns. look, Jesus! my bathtub is full of water! change. it. to. wine. and, of course, he'd comply and it would be delicious. i would then ask Him if he had the ability to change 'already-wine' into some kind of 'super-god-wine'. and he probably could. and i'd probably go and do something greedy like tie him up in my bathroom, shackle Him right to the toilet, and force him to change gallons and gallons of tap water into delicious, intoxicating god-wine that i could drink and store and share and sell, becoming very popular and wealthy. and i would enjoy living like this until i was a very old man. or until Jesus got sick of making wine and killed me with the Plague or something. he'd probably make it look like an accident.

the awesome cleansing power of lethargy

the layer of grime clinging to the inside of the shower curtain has accumulated such a thickness that it is now starting to peel off in flaps; it's own weightiness pulling it down into the water where it swirls momentarily before retreating down the drain pipe.
the old saying is true.
if you leave a mess for long enough, say about a year and a half, it will eventually clean itself.
sleep will come easy tonight.

say it vs. spray it

new research shows my "boot mug" holds exactly 473 ml of beer.
today's jaunt to my neighborhood Salvation Army proved to be a valuable one. i payed little to no attention to the soiled clothing racks; old picture books were the order of the day. and by old picture books i mean old cookbooks from the early seventies. within are some of the most gruesome photographs ever taken of food. if viewed by an "Atkins person" or random vegetarian, vomiting would surely ensue. in each of the five books EVERYTHING is slathered with pounds and pounds of greasy American cheddar. simply holding one of these books will give you high blood pressure.
one recipe, for Barbecued Chuck Roast, actually lists 'one tablespoon of MSG' as an ingredient.
ah, those were simpler times.
i digress. the important thing is that i also picked up a stack of old National Geographics from the late 70's, early 80's. i spent the rest of my afternoon carefully removing badly dressed people from their idyllic cities, countrysides and glaciers and situating them atop glistening Herbed Lamb Shanks.
laughing with friends amid a steaming plate of Sausage and Mostaccioli.
a squaredance on a freshly sliced Mushroom Pork Loin.
i will continue to do this for many weeks.
let's eat in tonight.
