Subconscious Premeditated Rambling
(Thievery Corporation - Lebanese Blonde)

I was so surprised to see my grape stem tree still alive this morning. I gave it some water today because the play-doh base was drying out. I hope it lasts through this upcoming weekend.

You know what would be great? If the stem magically sprouted like Jack’s bean stalk over the weekend and I walked into the office to see a tree growing up from my desk, through the skylight above me and up through the clouds.

I probably wouldn’t climb it though knowing that there would be some man-eating giant up in the clouds waiting for me. Even the gold-laying goose couldn’t entice me. I think gold is sort of going out of style these days anyhow. Last I heard girls were looking for platinum engagement rings. I wonder if this is due to inflation.

Someone at my company’s head office won the powerball $97 million lottery last week. One of my housemates from university won a $1 million lottery the a few years ago. What does this all mean?

1) You should aspire to know me because people who know me win the lottery.
2) I will never win the lottery because you assholes keep winning it.

There's something incredibly sad and incredibly cute about your little tree all at the same time.

my bf's neighbour in TO knows 2 people who won a small lottery pot. But he also knows a lady who became paralyzed due to West Nile Virus. Not sure to be glad or sad that I met him.
