At home somewhere in this world

Just a place to talk to myself

HOT

My apartment was so unbearably sticky hot today that I just took a cold bath. It was the perfect shock out of my heat induced coma. I have loved living alone in this apartment, but I'm glad I'm moving out. My next place will have to have air-conditioning.

Cash

I can think of two good reasons not to carry wads of cash around with you.

One-in a stick up situation the robber only makes off with your laundry quarters
Two-your cash falls out of your wallet on main street and I go home $200 richer

wooooooo hooooooo I found $200 on the sidewalk last night. The best part is there was no one around to ask if they were missing some money so I don't feel guilty about taking the cash home.

Is bread mold edible?

I was a quarter of the way through eating a sandwich this afternoon when I tasted something funny. I looked down and noticed a forest green fuzzy patch on my bread. After I spit out the bite I was chewing, brushed my teeth several times, and drank a bottle of listerene the African kid in me kicked in. I started wondering "well couldn't I just throw away the bread and save the meat? or I could cut around the moldy part and eat the rest.... after all I already ate a quarter of the sandwich if the mold is going to kill me I'm already a gonner. Does the 10 second rule apply to moldy bread?" I wrestled with my deepseeded fear of wasting food for about a minute and eventually threw away the entire sandwich and the bag of leftover bread. It was a freeing experience, but I had to throw away my trash for fear that I might try to eat it tomorrow. Ok not really that would be really gross. I would never eat a day old, warm, moldy, trashcan sandwich.... unless of course I was out of potatoe chips.
