The train this morning oddly smelled like a combination of maple syrup and soy sauce.
Now I find myself sitting here craving something I can only assume would be called an “Asian Waffle”.

In honor of my friend Tina, who hates bloggers who just blog a list of what they did for the day, I present to you a list of what I did today.
Managed to fall asleep before 3am for the first time in a week. Mind you, my actual time to bed was 2am this morning, but an hour improvement is still an improvement.
Slept in accidentally and was an hour late for work. Somehow going to bed an hour earlier resulted in waking up an hour later. My sleep does not know math. Luckily my supervisor worked from home today, so no one with authority to yell at me noticed.
Watched a live blog about today’s Apple iPod presentation and decided I wanted the new silver iPod nano with black clickwheel simply because it would match perfectly with my silver MacBook Air with black keyboard. I am such a MacTool.
Had some incredible cake made by my coworker Dan for another coworker’s birthday. He makes a cake for everyone’s birthday, and they’re orgasm-inducing every time. A gay guy should not be able to turn me on that much.
Stopped by Half-Price Books after work. I nearly left the store empty-handed until I came across a book by cartoonist Kyle Baker containing this cartoon. Hilarious. Hell, I’d pay full price for that.
Came home to find a thank you note in the mail from my friend Ginnie Ann. She sent it over in return for mailing her a book called The Secret Language of Sleep: A Couple’s Guide to the Thirty-Nine Positions. I had bought it a while back, and after realizing I’d never have a need to use it, tried to sell it at my garage sale. No takers. I noticed later that she took an online quiz based on the book and posted it on her blog, so I thought I might as well ship the book to her instead of throwing it in the garbage. I was a bit surprised to get an actual thank-you card back from her. Unfortunately it didn’t say, “Thanks for the book! Hopefully you can fly out to California so you and me can try out what’s on page 23!” like I had hoped.
