I could write about Dune if I wanted to!
Jan. 4th, 2005 02:52 amBut no. I want to write about John Bloom.
But first, a little story. I was getting ready for work today, and I was a little late because I'd taken the time to pay two bills. So I had my hands full as I gathered my things, and I dumped what was in my hands into a plastic bag that also had some cds that I like to carry to work and back home and maybe actually listen to in the car once or twice a week.
When I got outside the door I remembered to remove from the plastic bag my two letters (the check is in the mail!) and put them out for the mailman to find. I got in my car and started it up, and briefly I thought that there was something else I'd stuck into that plastic bag, but I couldn't remember what. I was in a hurry and didn't dig through the bag, only thinking that under normal circumstances I might have put my electric razor in there, but that had been in the car already.
So I got to work, and placed the plastic bag on my desk. I actually really did listen to two of the cds later in the evening -- Steeleye Span and Demon Hunter. What a lovely combination! ^_^
After six pm I called Sunny Teriyaki and ordered Sezchuan Beef. As I was putting my coat on to go get my dinner, Sandee said something about hoping cverything hadn't frozen up, like it had last night. And I said, "Yeah, it's really cold."
And the word cold triggered a memory... about something else that had been cold... a Klondike Oreo Cookie ice cream sandwich. That I'd removed from the freezer just before leaving the house, and placed in a plastic bag along with some cds and mail.
It wasn't a sandwich any more. But it was self-contained in plastic so at least it hadn't leaked over anything. I took it out, explained to Sandee what it was, and three it away. Le sigh!
( Not even Benny Hilton could have revived my ice cream sandwich! )
