To Don't List (slight return)

• Going to IHOP during All-You-Can-Eat-Pancakes promotion and eating three servings of pancakes after being on a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate regimen for two years
  
  
• Trying — several times — to remove a contact lens from your left eye when the lens is in fact not there.
  
  
• Mixing an underlying neurologic injury, resultant ADD-like and emotional pathologies, long-term personality and character issues, three psychiatric medications including a stimulant, and two dangerous sites for neurofeedback all in the same month
  
  
• Listening to Devo and Neil Young duetting on "Hey Hey My My" from the soundtrack to Human Highway. (Only made 3:14 into a 9:43 track, and friends can testify that my tolerance for funnypain bad music is very, very high)
  
  
• Putting some dark brown curry spice powder in a peanut butter jar that was then placed next to the other peanut butter jar containing the actual dark brown peanut butter

Bird Attack.

Edit: It seems unlikely that this was a heron due to the rarity of white herons in this area. The editors egret the error.

A heron dived into my back yard this morning, ate both goldfish and a few of the mosquito-eater fish out of the pond, tried without success to walk out the back gate due to insufficient runway length, mesmerized the cat, and finally hopped on the roof and left. The rest of the photos are in the Heron Visit Flickr set

FOOD

Growers Ranch had avocados for 59 cents each, tiny baby roma tomatoes, tiny pears, and other delights. I am now full of 1) steak with peppercorn sauce 2) wild blend rice 3) salad of baby tomatoes and avocado with green onion and vinegar/olive oil dressing.

Mmm.

Sometimes the kids and their subcultures should be ignored. I mean, you know, your kid is gonna be a goth or something, it happens, they're all angsty, and then they get their AA and learn drywall or something and just start drinking like you.

Or then there's the other times, when the neo-nazi gaybashing satanic evil clown rap/metal stupidocrat ultraviolence culture they're immersed in turns out to be for real.
