Veal and Rabbits and Colloquialisms
November 20, 2008
My boss bought me coffee. A “veal” cappochino. I think he was getting me back for how much I tease him about his bright orange floral gym bag.
While walking to the bus, I passed a guy who was peering into a coffee shop through a set of binoculars. When I walked by, he turned to me and emphatically asked, “Do you have any rabbits???”
On the bus yesterday, I ran into a cast member. On the way home, I ran into a housemate.
People at my work (mainly David and Paul) use really funny sayings. Such as: “I’ve got a fish to fry,” and “I’m going to eat the frog,” and “One sandwhich short of a sack lunch.” This amuses me so much that I have begun to compile a list on my computer. Dolcie made fun of me because of how excited I was about this new side-project. It goes along nicely with my recent obsession of collecting words for my personal lexicon, all organized in a black plastic recipe file box.
Today I made flaxseed onion bread and agave cranberry/apple cookies.
I can’t wait for Thanksgiving!

Don’t forget my personal favorite to put in your little black box:
“Hey, it’s better then a kick to the pants”.
