All the World, Indeed a Stage

Is it better to eat the Zinger before or after the tangelo? In my opinion, before. Because if you eat the tangelo first, there's a possibility you may no longer be hungry for the Zinger afterward. You would then miss out on the scrumptious healthfulness of the Zinger for a silly little orange fruit (seriously, what food that's orange could possibly be good for you?... meanwhile, the cream filling and chocolatey fudge is, of course, chock full of nutrients).

Okay, okay, in all seriousness, I ate the tangelo first. I ate the tangelo period. But would my eating of the tangelo have been made somehow dirty (read: less healthy) if I had indulged in the Zinger afterward? This is the question that plagues me, dear readers (as Stuart from my weely NYT Advertising bacn would say... man, he says "dear readers" more than any human being can possibly say it!). Are my bad habits so bad as to overwhelm any positive deeds I do? Especially when it comes to eating. Is it worse to eat a salad if you're gonna drown it in Thousand Island salad dressing than it would be to have a bucket of fried chicken? At least you're still eating the vegetables even if they are slathered with mayonnaise, right?!

Meanwhile... my weird/goofball/nonsensical conversation for the day? Centered around the sky and space. Given that I was in just the right mood for weird/goofball/nonsensical, I loved that the subject of up came up.
RR: Whats UP????
H: sky's the limit
RR: nope...space is the limit
H: sky = space
RR: sky quits at one point
H: no, no. In the pics from outer space, what do you call all that nothingness? Sky.
RR: sky=air. space=no air
H: i disagree
H: although... even if you're right... when air ceases... and, if you must say it, sky ceases... then UP ceases to be the appropriate direction.
RR: no direction in space....
RR: up is down and down is up
H: then I stand by my earlier statement... the SKY'S the limit to what's UP

Lately, I've been loving the period piece movies. Evidently, I'm in luck with several more coming out soon. What with my Pride & Prejudice binge a few weeks back... and As You Like It tonight, I've quite enjoyed the Olde English. Uh-oh. I can FEEL you saying, "Heidi, step away from the Olde English." C'mon... it's not that bad reading a whole post (or what have you) written in flowery prose and literary sophistication, is it?! Okay, okay... I'll stick to my own voice... for now.

Boy, I've really slacked off on the pictures lately, huh? This has become a word-heavy blog. Boo, words. I'll try to bring some new visual pleasantries to the table soon. Meanwhile... another 8:00 am call time tomorrow morning. Let's see if we can make it on-time this week.
