don't even think about it

austin is all up in the news today, and all i have to say is that i live about a mile away from where this is all happening and i went jogging through this area last night... and if i contract some mysterious aviary disease and kick the bucket before i leave for vacation this friday i'm going to be PISSED.

that is all. oh, and if i manage to stay disease-free and get to make it to switzerland only to discover that the famed swiss alps are completely snow-free (in other words, global warming has f'ed with my vacation) i am going to be even more pissed.

so don't even think about it, m'kay??

on a completely unrelated note, i had another culinary success this past wknd: roasted tomato and basil soup. DELISH. took several hours of effort but the result was worth every minute. yum.
