alexander aint got nothin.....

yesterday i had a yawning attack that lasted long enough for me to swallow a bug. it was the longest day. ever. but i got to see & smell the great state of new jersey and its turnpike (no portal exit, i was saddened to learn), as well as philadelphia (where i think- i think- ben franklin hung out for a while, the city will have you know.) i got a workout that pilates and yoga havent given me in nine years. i narrowly escaped death & sang out loud to rat fink. twice in a row. i got caught in a rainstorm. three times. i was given four free books that i did not ask for. i saw the second best handmade storm trooper costume that i have ever seen and learned that police officers cannot legally ask for your id on the street without a warrant or means for arrest. i stood in more than five lines. i thought about getting my face painted, but couldnt decide on a purple and orange dragon or a dancing strawberry. i stood by a vending machine with toys and gum in it and broke my favorite umbrella. my friend became a good friend over a game of twenty questions. i lost. i saw a man with a tooth fairy tattoo and drove around a round-about two full times. i failed at trying not to bite a peppermint. i turned down free orange juice but bought a three dollar lemonade. all in all, it was a good day. just long. the. longest day. ever.

today i ate soba noodles and remembered how yesterday was so long. you would think i am waiting for something.
