Starlings, Pigeons and Microwaved Karage
AM
Least: At about 9.25am I was bored enough to scan the TV channels for anything entertaining. Needless to say it was all variety-driven drivel with the additional insult of an ER episode. Stinker.
Most: During my walk around the park the heat had driven the starlings and pigeons to hide under trees. The turtles stayed under water and the fittest old man in the world was doing chinups on the monkey bars. A minor highlight in a boring morning!
PM
Least: At 9:48 I realised that the train carriage that I travel on each Tuesday has exactly the same people on it every week. There was a schoolgirl wearing a T-Shirt with the American flag and the slogan 'fuckheadistan' shouting across it. Maybe that was last week.
Most: At about 10:25pm I strolled up the the Family Mart to buy a meal instead of going to the Hazard Shot Bar as planned. I walked home with some hot potato chips, karage and some soba noodles. What a miracle for such a little shop to provide such heartburning bounty. My friend behind the counter was probably speaking to me about kangaroos and the fact it was winter in Australia. What special times we live in!
