not really about baseball
Topic: nicole

Me: Is this baseball game over yet? Let's go.

Nicole: I want to stay! Let's play Rock Paper Scissors to see if we're leaving now. Only we can play where you can pick anything; not just rock, paper, scissors. Like one person would say "nuclear bomb" and the other person would say, "the plague."

Me: Okay.

Nicole: One, two, three! Go!

Nicole: Cockroach!

Me: Cockroach!

Weird.

Me: Hey, your haircut came out really good! It looks the same as before.

Nicole: I think it was cut longer.

Using google maps on his iPhone, Trev gives his dad directions to the hardware store.

Trev's dad: Thanks for the directions! They were perfect, but the store wasn't there.

Mom: My doctor says I have a disorganized heart.

Man at Starbucks: I'll have an iced grande water.

On NPR this morning they had two friends remembering a firefighter who died on 9/11. One of them said about his friend, "He liked cartoons, naps, and dogs." Me, too! Though maybe most people like those things.

Me: I put you in my blog again! But I called you 'Woman.' I don't know why I did that.

Nicole: What did I say? [reads blog] I didn't say that!

Me: You did! Shelley, didn't she say that?

Shelley: Yes!

Nicole: No, look. Heat is a movement...

Me: A movement?

Nicole: Stop writing down what I say!

Me: [writes down 'Stop writing down what I say!']

Nicole: It's a movement of molecules! Not a movement...movement!

Shelley: That's clear now.

Nicole: I like the Palestinian cartoon, but I think the hummus should be in a bowl.

Me: Because it's more realistic that way?

the weather
Topic: nicole

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 7 p.m. Wind gusts of up to 70 miles per hour, hail as large as 1.5 inches in diameter and dangerous lightning are possible in these areas.

Dangerous lightning? As opposed to what? Safe lightning?

Hello! Hello internet. Hello four people who read my blog. Hello!

I'm being modest. It's five people.

Maryam has been asking people, "Where would you like to be right now?" and they've all said "Hawaii." I asked Shelley and she said, "Hawaii." Then I asked Nicole and she said, "A swimming pool?" and then "Sweden."

I think I've figured out why Nicole is so original. She's a lefty! I wish I was a lefty. I love the way people look when they write with their left hand.

The company I work for has been sold! What does it mean? No one knows. I'd like to know how much they sold me for. I think I'm worth at least a thousand dollars. Maybe two if you throw in the dog.

meme
Topic: nicole
Nicole has a funny meme in her blog. It's called "10 things I've done that you probably haven't." I think my favorite is number 7: "Biked topless along the Charles (at least, I *think* I did this..?)."

Oreos Part II
Mood:  chillin'
Topic: nicole
Now that I've actually read daggle's blog entry about the new Oreos, I see that there's a reason the Oreos are oblong. It's to make them easier to dunk in a glass. Oh! I have to admit that the round Oreo does not always fit very well into a glass. I know what you're thinking. You're thinking, Mitra, there's a war going on, who cares about Oreos? I know, I know. It's just easier to think about the little stupid things than the big awful sad things. Nicole: How do you feel about talking about gross medical things? Me: I'm against it. [pause] Nicole: But what if it's not that gross and I really really want to tell you?

salad days part 2

Maybe this makes more sense. Picture one is the salad that was on the menu. Picture two is that same salad, only it's been pared down so Nicole can eat it.

salad days

Nicole and I went to Finale for dinner. Finale again! This is the life.

Poor Nicole. She can't eat lots of stuff due to allergies. We both got the Artichoke Salad. Nicole's salad was minus the arugula, artichoke hearts, red onions, chick peas, and roasted artichoke vinaigrette. Here's a picture of her salad. This is just sad.

Today I saw someone order ice cream topped with pieces of gum. GUM!! How can you eat ice cream and chew gum at the same time?? Baffling and gross. Frisbee guy: What would you hair look like long? Bicole (not her real name): Um...longer?

Nicole: One day, my dad and I were talking about meat. He said the tenderloin is usually the most tasty. I asked him what part of an animal a "tenderloin" is. He traced a muscle on my back. I think I pulled my tenderloin.

Nicole, of course.

From Nicole: I feel like the weather forcast is this: Rain. Then chance of rain until afternoon. Afternoon -- it will definitely rain. Then tonight, chance of rain drops down to 98%. Tomorrow -- it might rain, or it might rain hard. After the rain, there will be thunderstorms. And on and on.
