A day (already in progress)

So far today I have:

*Gone out to breakfast at Renee's with qlewkr and discojesus, where I a) made faces at a baby one table over, b) made faces at bismuthobsidian two tables over, and c) would have made faces at asciikitty four tables over but her back was to me and she defriended me last month anyhow so why even bother especially when I could concentrate on pancakes instead;

*Explored a Bangladeshi food market down the street, tried "Thums Up" soda from India ("Contains No Fruit!" says the label) which tasted the way geraniums smell, followed the hand-written "Meat Section" sign down a flight of stairs to a basement with four closed chest freezers and a frowning man behind a bare metal table holding a knife (WHY NO I WAS NOT NERVOUS AT ALL);

*Explored the garden shop across the street which was selling spices for 20 times the price of the Bangladeshi market, and also had one package left of Fox Urine, which included a long description on the box about how gently and subtly the urine was collected the foxes don't even know we're doing it honest, and I'm sure you will be pleased to learn that the manufacturers call themselves "Leg Up Enterprises".

In other words, so far so good.
