so there i was.

today for the first time, i saw nuns in real life. i only caught a glimpse of them for a moment as they turned the corner on to aurora ave, the sex capital of washington, according to dan, but that's not for here. the driver was wildly flailing her one free arm at the passenger, wagging her pointer finger as if it would be more convincing that way, trying really hard to get her point across. all the while, all i could think was, "nuns drive mini vans?" shortly followed by, "that nun needs to iron her headdress." this moment made me wonder why i don't wear my glasses all the time.

seconds later on NPR, cause sometimes i feel like being informed, i heard that if you are largely a vegetarian, but occasionally eat meat, they have a word for that. flexitarianism, i like this concept very much. this made me wonder, why don't i listen to NPR all the time?

the answer is, i don't know why.
