In which all thought turn to food

Happy birthday [livejournal.com profile] dorrie6! I hope you have a wonderful day.

The week of the constant *thwack*, *thwack* of squash balls is almost over. I don't know whose idea it was to put a freaking SQUASH COURT in the middle of a place where people are actually working, but I'm guessing it was someone whose office doesn't front onto the atrium holding said squash court. Idiots.

I also don't know why anyone would want to watch people playing squash. Granted, I don't understand why people want to watch most sports, but squash seems particularly silly. It's like watching someone run on the treadmill - there's no strategy, just lots of power. Feel free to contradict me if you know better. :)

(Ha! We've decided that the next event in the atrium should be strip poker. Or possibly jello wrestling. Much more entertaining.)

Yesterday I discovered that what I thought was free extended cable was actually cable that I was paying for, even though I hadn't asked for it. Nice. And of course the reason it took me three months to figure this out is that at some point I stopped receiving bills, even though I hadn't asked for that either. Too bad they didn't decide to stop taking the money from my bank account, even though I didn't ask for that either.

I am impatiently waiting for blueberry season. Strawberries just don't cut it (I know, blasphemy), although I've been eating them anyway. Yesterday I found some not-ridiculously-expensive blackberries, which made me happy this morning, but they're still not blueberries.

Blueberries and ice cream -- the two best foods in the world.

Mmmm, now I want some ice cream.

Blackberries made me very happy when I got home last night. And I just happened to have a container of blackberry yogurt left to have with them!

I was just scolding my yogurt for having gelatin in it this morning. It's already thickened with corn starch, tapioca starch, locust bean gum, and quite possibly one or two other things. Just wouldn'ta been the same without the gelatin, huh? *eyeroll*
