A girl I work with went to the dentist today and came back with two cases of eggplant*. Two huge boxes of them, there were probably 50 eggplant total. So there were eggplant (eggplants??) ALL over work today... it was surreal! To look something up in my statistics book, I had to move an eggplant. Eggplants on top of cubicle walls, eggplants being tossed through the aisles (they are somewhat football-shaped), eggplants being juggled.** They fit nicely on our phones, so we unplugged the handset of an unlucky absent co-worker's phone and plugged in an eggplant. It really did fit on the phone cradle perfectly. So, nothing really overheard here.... just a bizarre preponderance of eggplants in the workplace, and I thought that might be worth mentioning. I had to remove them from my cube after a while; they were really wigging me out.

*Oh, did you want to know the story behind that? Okay. Her dentist volunteers at a food bank, and he brought them LOTS of boxes of eggplant. They couldn't use them all, so they sent some back, which he farmed out to his lucky patients.

** At this point, I have typed and read the word "eggplant" so many times that it has ceased to have any meaning for me.

I am considering starting a new blog, something like psychobridestobe.blogspot.com... it might relieve my urge to put wedding rants on this blog. Because that is not what this blog is about, plus... who really cares?? I think only people who are heading face-first into matrimony might be up for that kind of thing and, dear reader, it is statistically improbable that you are in such a state.

I do want to know one thing. What is in everyone's CD player right now? (Yes, yes, you probably have an iPod, you lucky duck. Just tell me what you're listening to!) Here's the rundown for me:

work CD: John Coltrane Complete Village Vanguard Recordings
home CD: Bill Evans (twice!), Ella Fitzgerald, Luscious Jackson, and this great Thelonious Monk Quartet featuring John Coltrane at the Carnegie Hall concert.. mmmmmmm, good.

I'm off to find myself an online group of angry brides to bitch to!
