champagne tastes ~

[lookingland]

recent things i have become addicted to that are seriously out of my budget:

goat cheese with rosemary ~ mmmmmm
avocado gelato ~ i'm not kidding man, this stuff will surprise you
absinthe eduoard ~ (she says as she shrewdly rations her stash)
dr. kracker ~ they go well with the goat cheese!
sushi ~ this just goes without saying (even having said it)

~ i couldn't just crave saltines and lentils?

note to someone bugging me with their drama trying to make something hysterical out of something just bad enough as it is all by it's lonesome: and your point is?

(that should fulfill my kvetchy quota for a while)

and a poem:

To seem the stranger lies my lot, my life

To seem the stranger lies my lot, my life
Among strangers. Father and mother dear,
Brothers and sisters are in Christ not near
And he my peace my parting, sword and strife.
England, whose honour O all my heart woos, wife
To my creating thought, would neither hear
Me, were I pleading, plead nor do I: I wear-
y of idle a being but by where wars are rife.

I am in Ireland now; now I am at a thírd
Remove. Not but in all removes I can
Kind love both give and get. Only what word
Wisest my heart breeds dark heaven’s baffling ban
Bars or hell’s spell thwarts. This to hoard unheard,
Heard unheeded, leaves me a lonely began.

Ohhh...sushi.

I've never tried Avocado gelato but our local gelateria has a very good Violet flavor.

That second stanza is a doozie. I'm still trying to grasp what he's saying there.
