Day 36: Cravings

Today is a Day of Mourning on the Jewish calendar and therefore I am abstaining from food. This means that I am very hungry. During my lunch break, I distracted myself by doing some quick shopping. It is really convenient that my office is right next to so many stores, so I can very easily run over to Old Navy or H&M. But shopping did not make me any less hungry. And when I walked back to my office I smelled the sweet aroma of fresh baked pizza wafting down 33rd street. And now all I can think about is pizza. Bubbling hot cheesy delicious pizza.

    I don't think shopping is particularly appropriate for a day of morning either.

    Pizza's aroma isn't sweet.

    I'm just gonna be honest here: you need to do something with this... say something real... interpret your lunch choices... say something not totally obvious... something! Right now it's nothing but an exercise in offensively oblivious narcissism.

    Wow! "offensively oblivious narcissism." You must have been an English major.

    But seriously, the only thing offensive about this blog is that background green color. You moron.

    im a friend of the blogger and i have to agree. this is the most ridiculous exercise in narcissism ive seen in quite a while.

    in other words, in response to every single post i have bothered to read: who cares?

    Hey Anonymous (not you Steinberg),

    You know what they say about people who always come back for more...certainly not "who cares".

    Seems like you enjoy reading it more than you think.

    I think that whoever drew that cartoon of Rebecca should get a book deal. It shows a certain sophistication of the illustrator, as well as down right creative genius.

    That's what keeps ME coming back for more.

    I <3<3<3 Ethipopia! Ethiopia is sooo awesome! I went last year, and had the best brazed Zebra. It had been marinated in this nutty sauce (not sure what the nuts were), and was served with an indian fusion risotto dish which our somalier matched to our wine with utter perfection.

    My family are all going to fly back in December... just for that nut marinade!

    Gawd I love your country.

    Maybe WRA can start a campaign to buy Tieb his own laptop. We can call it One Laptop per Tieb. Added benefit- proving WRA is NOT narcissistic.

In order to deposit the money into your account please send me your social security number as well as the account number you wish me to deposit the money into. I look forward to working with you in the future.
