Gassy Mondays and Children

Our neighbor Greg awakened me this morning with the ringing of the doorbell - normally i'd let it ring but i was hungry anyway so I went and got it....

He was in the Hallway opening up the windows and the front building door saying we needed to tell the neighbors that the building could go up anytime from the smell of heavy gas.  I smelled it immediately and said ok - so as he went to tell the neighbors, I came back inside and got some Lucky Charms.  I'm pretty sure that I had heard once that it's horrible to die from gas when your stomach is empty, something about dry heaving or some nonsense.  After I got finished I went downstairs to make sure Tony was alive and knew about it and as I did the news broke in and said that there was a gas smell all over NYC and Northern New Jersey. Still not sure what it was, I don't think the news had said, but my friend Adam called from San Fran and assured me that it wasn't him, i'm pretty sure I believe him because the winds were coming in from the South and it would have taken a week for his smells to get here...although i'm sure they could make it since he has unmentionable, noxious diseases that the picks up and passes along whenver possible.

Oh the Children mentioned in the header up above aren't necessarily gassy too, but instead an allusion to the fact that I saw "Children of Men" on Saturday.  If you haven't seen it - get up off your lazy ass and go...it's horrifying, fascinating and just plain disturbing.  Of course it fits perfectly with my mind.  I recommend seeing it alone or with someone that you won't have to explain things to because parts of it do rely on the viewer to be smarted than the popcorn that people eat there. A funny side note - I went to the 1:30  showing on saturday afternoon (when it was 72 degrees out and I drove to Edgewater with the top down on the car), I went in and sat down - looked around, then gathered my belongings (popcorn and coke) and went back out to make sure I was in the correct venue.  There were about 25 people in there, average age of about 75, and it's a pretty graphic sci-fi movie.  I went back in and then after listening to a few of the humerous and sometimes bawdy conversations around me, I learned that it was a daily outing for the community next door and this was about the only new movie left for them to see.  Although the 2 women in front of me did stress about how they would see Clive Owen in anything - he is such a good and hot actor...and I also learned that Renee Zellwegger looks sensuous and amazing in her Glamour spread--lots of fun details like that came across the backs of their seats during the 12 minutes before the movie started.

 Last - I finally began sticking my new, small saltwater tank today.  I ran to the store and got a couple fish, shrimp, coral, anemone and fiddlehead (or something)...Salt water tank.

(and for good measure here's a picture of Wuzzy as I gave her crickets for the week.)
