...in the Imperial Era, the British must have been pretty excited to peel an orange for the first time. The bright color, the refreshing zesty aroma, the tart juiciness--I'll bet they were completely intrigued. Kind of like the first time I ever ate a kiwi. I think I'll go to the store this afternoon and buy a wierd fruit I've never eaten, just to get a glimpse of what it was like to have what is now an everyday food for the first time.

I just realized that I've used this forum setting before, but decided against it because of the difficulty in responding to posts--the white font blends with the white background in the reply box. Lame. I like this color scheme. 'm gonna mess with it to see if I can tweak it.

cool. time to see how many type-o's I made *click!*

Were you successful? Jesus. I was thinking, "What forum setting?" Oh. Since I cann't type and regard the monitor at the same time, iit's disconcerting to look up to a completely blank page and see a cursor drifting slowly across the page... Jeebus.

I ended up not going to the store that day because it was so damn windy, I would've been knocked off mthe scooter! However, I went toghetto Smith's and had an informative conversation with the produce guy about water chestnuts. Apparently, they're the biggest pain in the ass to prpare--it invlves baking and steaming and peeling... So I just bought the canned ones.

...where would I be if I weren't in a band? I'd probably have a degree in something completely useless, like Art History or Creative Writing. Or Music Composition. hehe This in turn got me thinking about getting a business degree so I can open up my bakery/music store/book store/clothing boutique/lounge/art studio downtown. I've been eyeballing a few of the empty spaces along Central, 8th Street, 4th Street, fantasizing how cool it'd be to work for myself.

Me too, ever since I started playing downtown I've wanted my own venue...I also hate working for other people. Go self owned businesses!

Oh yeah, a venue. I've considered that too, but I don't want to deal with all the drama.
