i've always loved popcorn so much, and i've never really found a brand of microwave popcorn that i was totally satisfied with (newman's own was close)...so anyway i finally started making it the "old fashioned way" with a tablespoon of olive oil in a pan with a lid...anyway it is so fucking awesome and fresh tasting and yummy and you get to add real butter and salt not the nuclear powder stuff and it's a totally awesome thing to do when you want to watch some TV....so that's my jam right now, simple pleasures wise.

two months pass...

the fact that every time i go into the jamaican place near my house theres always a bunch of books on a table - mostly various books on english history - & the books are usually different from the ones that were there last time. today there was a self-published book on herb lore, some spiderman comics & a really nice coffee table book about leyendecker. i like to think that they belong to the woman who owns the place & that shes constantly rotating them, thinking about what her customers might like to read.

Now it's been bumped I've forgotten what it was.

Driving with the window down, wearing short sleeves and positioning your arm so the wind gets scooped up and whirls around inside your shirt.

Try bringing that beer into a hot, long shower after you've been physically overworked during said 10 hour shift. My god.

this one can trigger painful bronchial spasms, unfortunately. in which case you just have to stay calm and take the shallowest of breaths until they stop.
