Oh my god, i totally didn’t read to the very end of your post before replying. :!

I’m pretty sure that not only that story, but also the word “funk”, came to me originally from those books…

I thought I would send some solidarity backwards through time to when you posted this (i didn’t see it because of crazy paper-writing). Am feeling very much the same way after a week of being home from Namibia.

Anyway there was a king once upon a time who had everything you could ever want in the world, but he didn’t feel satisfied. So he got his advisors together and said to them, “I want you to bring me something that will make me feel happy when i am sad, and sad when i am happy.”

So they went away and thought about it for a while, and then eventually they came back to him with a ring. On the ring were engraved the words, “This, too, shall pass.”

(Also your use of the word funk is strangely the same as mine.)

I get the feeling they already know. I wasn’t actually subtle with my disapproval.

“girls who were blonde, wore fake tan and were into ‘clubbing’”

If any of these girls could find the internet you’d be dead… ninja or not.

There is nothing embarassing about being in a funk, I’m glad you found a way to deal with it, even though I don’t think we deal with our lows the same way (or even on the same plane of existence).

I’m wondering if this will fit on my index finger; “Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall never cease to be amused.”

This is such a brilliant idea. And a bold thing to do in the rather postured environments that Melbourne dining experiences frequently enforce. I like this way of thinking about food, and if I could ever leave any on my plate, I’d want to do it that way too.

Mmm they look gorgeous. You should check out my friend Breanna’s food blog http://woodenspooning.wordpress.com/ and all the blogs she links to. There’s some tasty stuff. I hope you keep up the blogging or I’ll take down that freshly added link.

So, uh, you update a lot, huh?

Today, I am hassling people who are kind enough to follow me on twitter. I think it started as part of a larger plan, but now I’ve just derailed and am leaving heckling comments for no reason.

Bug bug bug!

/me sends bugs so you can write about the new job (one of the bugs is a bee (i’m going to stop now)).
