Discoveries

  1. The women who walk around the ladies' locker room of the gym butt-nekked tend to be the women who are the most disgusting to look at (not that I'm looking. I just can't help but notice that it's disgusting).
  2. My teeth feel funny when I eat a lot of spinach-- something I quite often do. I looked up the reason. Interestingly, typing 'funny teeth feeling after eating spinach' into the search bar of Google doesn't give anything of value, just lots of pages that say things like "Do I have spinach in my teeth?". 'Spinach teeth sensation', on the other hand, results in this nugget of useful info: "Agricultural scientists say that this [dry, chalky sensation on the teeth and on the roof of the mouth] comes from the leaves' high concentration of oxalic acid" (found here).
  3. For years, I'd been buying Trader Joe's Frozen Chicken Breast Meat Pieces-- the ones in the bag with the red label. Whenever I would cook chicken, I would sort of wish each breast was about half its size; one breast was too big for me to eat alone (me, wishing for smaller breasts! Hee!). When I went to TJ's on Sunday to restock the fridge, they'd run out of the red-label bag, so I bought the green-label TJ's Frozen Chicken Breast Tenderloin Pieces. When I opened the bag today, I discovered that they're - GET THIS - half the size of the breast meat pieces! I've said it before, and I'll say it again: fast clap for Trader Joe.
  4. Michelle Kwan is still skating. And still trying to win that Olympic gold, no less. Eesh. It's like we used to tell the SpiritLeaders who were in their 30s: Move on, hun. It's time to move on.
  5. It always rains when I go to New York.
