Zip Zang Zing

Asparagus is one of those foods that LOOKS really good, but doesn't evoke any excitement whatsover in the mouth.  That's My opinion anyway.  I figured it was because I never had it properly prepared.  But I tried it in a pretty expensive restaurant recently and... it was still... Just Asparagus.  Well, at least I can appreciate it for it's amazing shade of green. 

I'm not sure what field you have to be in to know this, but I was very surprised this morning when I was shocked by a BAGEL.  I was toasting that sucker up in the toaster oven at work and I go over to flip it [because the oven decided to stop working on the top because everything they make these days is total crap, but that's for another day] and *ZAP!!*  Whaaaaaat the????   I was like "Who gets shocked on a BAGEL?"  I'm obviously under-educated here.  See, undereducated isn't even a word, but I'm a firm believer in... as long as you get my point... all is well in the world.  SO....  yeah, there's obviously something happening here... Is it chemistry?  It's gotta be.  I know there is a lot of static electricity in this office.  I also know that when I touch things that are Metal, I receive a very "pleasant" shock.  But..   bananas?  Bagels?  Hm.  I really would like this one explained to me.  Not sure you know this but, if you do work in an office and you have to deal with touching doorknobs constantly, use a key to touch the knob first, and the key will take the pain for ya.  It's a tasty little bit I learned.  One I cherish.  Haha. 

Drum class was Awesome last night.  I wish more people would join.  I wish we could have a circle of around 50.  The energy that comes out of even 15 people jamming at the same time is.. Incredible.  I get so red.. and hot... and... just feel so incredibly energized.  And you're Really not even moving all that much.  Just your arms.  But..  the energry is... Wow.  I feel like all my molecules are having one Hell of a party in there.  I'm very disappointed that I haven't played my drum as often as I should.  I need to truly buckle down and.. .Stick To It.  Cause.... It's Awesome.  But I'd REALLY love a Bougarabou.  Everyone should own one.  Haha.  Oh!  I know what I want to get... a Snake Charmer.  John McCrea of Cake LOVES that thing... he uses it in practically every song.  When we have our kindergarten percussion circles... I'm gonna introduce my snake charmer.  Should add a nice amount of zip, zang and tang.  ;)

I wonder if people have named their kid initials.  Such as "D.A. Smith"  I'm sure it's legal.  I know naming your kid a number isn't legal.  Well, "77" wouldn't be, but "Seventy Seven" would be.  Haha.  So many people don't like their name and they end up shortening it most of the time.  I don't like real long names.  Do you know an "Alexandria" that actually goes by Alexandria?  No.  I say skip to the nickname.  I like Jules for a girl.  I think it's adorable.  "Aw.  Is that short for Julianna?"    "Um...  No."
