Since my camera is busted like a meth dealer at a police pot luck, i thought i'd draw today's picture. That's us going on our walk. My ambition was to walk from Pine Rest to Lee's Oriental Market, but we only made it almost half way, a little past 54th street, so i didn't get to expose Houston and Katrina to that store again. I love it. The lady who runs the place is really cute, and we've run out of decent ramen noodles. Which means we've run out. We can't eat normal ones anymore, which is a bummer since they're five for a buck, and the good ones cost about USD0.80 a pack.
Anyway, i had a really good day besides the whole not-seeing-spouse thing. I worked with staff i like, it was a smooth shift, and the walk with the progeny was really pretty fun. Although Division (if you looked at that Google Maps directions, it tells you to go on Highway 131, but i took Division instead...) is a really loud street, the sidewalks are filthy and bumpy, and there are no back roads which run parallel to it, mostly because of the trailer home parks which border it, and also the new South Beltline, which looms over Division and the surrounding neighborhoods with ridiculous ~20 foot walls, as though to protect the elite motorists from the scum below. Anyway... it's loud. But we had fun.
And i know i have made it my policy not to discuss things like... poop... and stuff on my site. Well, i'd like to continue that policy, but let me say that when i saw an ad for "non-stimulant laxative" i wondered to myself what in the world kind of stimulant they'd use for a laxative, and on the apex of our journey, i drank an energy drink. Well, i think i found that stimulant. It was horrible.

Read on for an anti-US and US media rant.
