crisis averted, i think. i hope so anyway. things aren’t so good when things are bad.

but about last night. it was fabulous. the family guy was on and the difference between this week and the past few weeks it was on was that this time i remembered it was on, and watched it. that show is brilliant. my two favorite lines: (1) “this is asian reporter (insert her name here) reporting live from”(gets smashed and blown offscreen by car flying through hurricane), and (2) “you don’t even know who i am, do i”… said by some british guy writing at a desk during a classic referential cutaway after one of peter’s comments. and he was right, i really had no idea who he was. marvelous.

plus i did spend most of the evening just sitting around and reading just as i hoped to, which was nice. very nice. reading and listening to music could easily comprise 80% of my waking hours and i think i’d still be pretty content with my life. of course human contact is nice too so i’d need some of that sometimes, but last night i had all three so i was pretty much entirely satisfied. and that’s a rare and precious thing. it made me feel good.

and we had koo koo roo for lunch. do they have those in other parts of the country? i don’t really know. i’d never been there until i worked here. it’s basically the same as boston market — although based on past experiences at boston market including good memories and the food itself (also good), i’d have to say i like boston market more. the carver sandwiches there are top notch. can somebody who lives near a boston market send me one?

(now i imagine opening my mailbox and seeing a sandwich with a stamp on it sitting there with my name written along the top. good for a laugh but probably not for a lunch. i guess you can’t win ’em all).
