Today's conversation of the day:
The Boy: If you give up chocolate for a month, I'll talk to you for ten straight hours.
Me: Umm.
The Boy: Ohmygosh, is that not what you wanted? Me to talk to you for longer periods of time?!
Me: Yeah, I want you to talk to me, but not for TEN HOURS STRAIGHT.
The Boy: Okay, I'll talk to you for two hours every night if you give up chocolate for a month.
Me: Okay. Deal.
The Boy: No, no, I got the real deal here.
Me: Yes?
The Boy: If you can give up chocolate and salt*, I'll give you an engagement ring.
Me: Seriously? How long do I have give up chocolate and salt?
The Boy: Let's say a year. If you can give up chocolate and salt for a year, I'll give you an engagement ring.
Me: How do I know if you'll actually keep your word after a year?
The Boy: Well, that's the easy part. How do I know if YOU actually kept YOUR word? It's harder for me to moniter what you're eating when we're thousands of miles apart.
Me: That's easy, I'll be a lot more cranky if I don't have my daily dose of chocolate. So if I'm suddenly happy one day, you'll know I cheated.
The Boy: Well, that's not a fair deal. I don't want to speak to someone who's cranky 24/7.
Me: You made the deal, mister.
The Boy: I'll never win.
Me: Yep, that's about right.

*In addition to chocolate cravings, I also have salt cravings, which usually leads me to eat tons of tostida chips, potato chips, or just pouring salt into my hands and licking it.

Correct Answer: The Elephant. The elephant is in the refrigerator. You just put him in there. This tests your memory.

4. There is a river you must cross but it is used by crocodiles, and you do not have a boat. How do you manage it?

Correct Answer: You jump into the river and swim across. Have you been listening? All the crocodiles are attending the Animal Meeting. This tests whether you learn quickly from your mistakes.
According to Anderson Consulting Worldwide, around 90% of the professionals they tested got all questions wrong, but many preschoolers got several correct answers. Anderson Consulting says this conclusively proves the theory that most professionals do not have the brains of a four-year-old.

best sexy food
There was special section in The Pitch that highlighted all the best food/resturauts/hangouts in Missouri and Kansas. They had a category listed as "Best Sexy Food" and highlighted a Korean BBQ resturant as the place with the best sexy food.
...
So we went there for dinner tonight. The resturant is located in middle of nowhere Kansas (well, this is my opinion anyway), but the atmosphere was nice. We had the pork and beef calbi and the waiter actually barbequed the meet for us (usually, it's do it yourself) which was nice but a bit awkward because the waiter always took a bow before he left our table.

Anyways, after filling my guts with sumptuous calbi, I still could not conclude that the food I just ate was sexy food. First of all, garlic was permeating out through my skin, and second, I smelled like barbeque food. I don't know how garlic breath and roasted meat odor makes for sexy anything.

featherless chicken butts
We went to an apple orchard this past weekend to pick apples. Unbeknownst to us, the "April Freeze" resulted in not enough apples for the wannabe farmers to pick. So we spent an hour roaming the orchard and exploring the pumpkin patch. We also came upon a bunch of chickens and this one just had no feathers on its butt. It was weird looking.
Maybe the chicken was being picked on by the others. May it hogged all the worms and so the others would pluck its butt feathers to stop it from eating the worms.

I really don't know why this chicken has no butt feathers. It was just very funny to look at.

bicycles on sidewalks
I'm walking home from school and I hear this lady literally SHOUTING at me, "EXCUSE ME, MOVE OVER, I'M COMING THROUGH!"
I look behind me and find this lady on a bike and wanting to ride pass me on a sidewalk. Hello!! Why are you riding on the sidewalk in the first place lady? It's a side WALK. You're not WALKing. Get off the sideWALK!
Good gosh. Not only was she riding her bike on a sidewalk when there is plenty of space on the street for her, but I'm pretty sure she was speeding too. I had to jump onto the grass just to save myself from being run over by the lady on the bike.
Seriously, if you ride a bike, please try not to run over pedestrians on a sidewalk.

how sweet The Boy is
I was whining to The Boy about what a horrible week I was having. Next thing I get is a knock on the door from the Fed-ex man presenting me with a box.
PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE FROM THE CHEESECAKE FACTORY!!! The Boy never indulges my sweet tooth, so this was a great surprise!
That pumpkin cheesecake was soooo good going down. I should probably tell The Boy that I have a bad week every week. Although I'm not sure he is consistently sweet with his intentions.

new creation -- spiky balls
The roommate was in a creative mood and made these "spiky balls" for dinner. Basically, it's just pork dumpling filling covered in rice. Still yummy in my tummy!

notice anything?
Why the heck is there half a banana sticking out of the side of this building?
I have to admit that the first time I saw this, I didn't think it was a banana.
