three beans
Went to Temple II today--wrote a note, finished a long letter, and almost done with Meat Is Murder by Joe Pernice. Then we went to the co-op where I got three new kinds of beans for sprouting! They are adzuki, lima, and black eyed peas.
On the way out I asked the person at the desk if she knew whether Natural Value waxed paper is vegan. She said, "Prrrobably?" I said, "Maybe I should contact them directly." She said, "What are you worried about?" I said, "That there might be something animal-y in the wax." She said, "I don't think we would carry it if it was gross." Yeah, like the whole, uh, butcher department doesn't contain animal products?
Raining again. I sent a bunch of mail today--birthday present to bestie, letter and zine and postcards to the ButterSwords, zines to Icarus pal, and zines to Anno Domini in San Jose. There's a helicopter circling, and it's pissing me off!

Yippee!
I also interchange "garbanzo beans" with "chickpeas" almost every time that word arises. Somehow I think I choose which word to say based on the person I'm talking to. Not sure why or what standards of measure are in play though.

Yeah, I've thought about that a lot--I write so many letters, and what I say and how I say it varies greatly based on who I'm talking to, and some people I write letters to I don't know very well, so it's like I'm making up who they are and speaking to that imagined person, and it's weird how actually to some degree we're always going that.

I've been reading Buttersword since you wrote about and linked to their comics. I enjoy it.
