Monday Afternoon: A Triad for your Entertainment (so-called)

I have another grubby Geary story for you but I don’t think I’m going to sit around this evening typing it up before I go home.  Maybe later on tonight?  O you should be so lucky, Mr and Mrs Lucky McFortunestein.  Let me, instead, fill the emptiness with a few items of note:

NEW RELIGION: And it’s so easy to join!  I like it because of the funny words.  You may have your own reason to like it, but if you want to go with “funny words” too, I’m okay with that.  But “neckties for the ladies” is also acceptable. Pastafarianism is so passe! 

A few weeks ago I finally finished my entire box of staples.  It took me nearly eight years of steady staple-abusing work, but I used them all up at last.  I celebrated by getting myself a new staple box.  I wrote “today’s date” on it so I could see how long the new box lasts but now I realize I probably should have actually written the date.  Live and learn.  Seven or so years from now I’ll have a chance to correct my error. 

Product alert: I am informed by those who know that people in California can now get Golden Star Jasmine Tea at Whole Foods Groceries.  My recommendation: do so, and try it with a clear palate and an open mind.  It’s sophisticamatated stuff.  Enjoy while it’s still relatively unknown, or else it’ll all be bought up by Dubai and Macronesia and places like that where double-fermented sparkling jasmine tea is the only game in town. 

Final note of note: the Department of Homeland Security ("We Give The Whole Country a Wedgie") has finally seen fit to approve a visa for my little tyro, Jesse, who languishes in Korea waiting for us to pick him up.  Should be soon, tigertyke.  Maybe not this year, but if not, soon thereafter.  And there was much rejoicing!

This, then, is enough, then, for now.  Then.  And for all of you who have been boosting my spirits while I’ve been waiting for the G-Men to get with the program and send my boy home, as well as those who have been looking for funny-sounding fulfillment, fastener-utilization updates, or refreshing and fragrant non-alcoholic sparkling beverages, thanks for stopping by.  If you were looking for the story about the guy who holds himself back, or the photos of the train exhibit in the conservatory of flowers with the SF landmarks made out of recycled chazzerai, well, come back later.  I’m done for the nonce.
