Ever drink so much it actually makes you wake up earlier? I can't sleep right now and I've no idea why. I should be asleep. I feel like maybe the Tikka Massala did something to me last night--made me stronger somehow--better--more resistant to toxins.
Gupta, what did you put on my chicken? What oriental witchery have you wrought upon me!?? Seriously though. Doesn't some indian food have the look of like radioactive waste? Like the shit that made the TNMT?
Somebody check me on this. I was describing Filipino food to a friend yesterday and I said that Filipino food is to Asia as English food is to Europe: everything is either boiled or fried. Except for pancit, which is actually boiled noodles which are then fried. Was I right about that? I can't think of a single entree that's broiled or pan-seared.
I have a news ticker running, and it just occurred to me that I haven't been following this mine thing in Utah. And it makes me wonder what else I'm missing. This job has the odd effect of turning you off to everything that isn't within your immediate actionable radar or, even sadder, part of the calculus of reelection. For this reason I'm actually farther away from what I want to deal with (foreign policy) and closer to those things which I'm maybe kind of not that interested in (agriculture and the environment).
I am getting a good mix of policy though and that was really the goal. I miss writing though. Id really like to get back into it. Oh, I write plenty now, but it's all crappy, hurried, antiseptic memo shit or (and this is the worst) bullshit letters where I affect the voice of my employer. Where I say things like "I wish upon you a strengthful return to...blah blah blah" STRENGTHFUL? I'm serious. This has happened. That's not even a fucking word, bitch! What're you Warren Harding? Actualy hahha I think this is what he has in mind when he asks me to write crap like this: dissatisfied by the lexicon of commoners, Congressman X develops his own language--one more suited to convey his high-minded ideals and revolutionary theories of policy. Thus, may I present to you the most recent editions to the new language of change:
Strengthful. Competitioners. Infocrease. Durple. (okay this last one's still in the testing stages and has not been deployed in any official correspondence)

Last time I invoked the spirits was after some Chinese food...but strangely enough I'd go back there again.
Your post reeks of truthiness, friend.
I had a durple once but everyone experiments in college.
