today was an absolutely beautiful day in houston. sun finally came out after a week of getting pumped by rain and more rain. ran a bunch of errands, went to see our cpa to get some tax forms, drove a friend to the airport and on the way home I went to the market.
no, you didn't read wrong, market. I didn't go to the grocery store, I went to the market. central market that is. I went there to buy a few essentials, and ended up tearing through the place. wasted about 3 hrs, but I wouldn't exactly call it wasting bob (that's from "office space"). got some artichokes, some regianno parmessan cheese, blueberry sausages, hummus, etc. among other things I bought: a baguette of french bread. I've never bought a baguette before in my entire life. so there I was, with a paper bag under my arm, with a baguette sticking straight up out of it. I felt so european somehow. I wanted to get on a bike with a wire basket on the front and pedal around the neighborhood exclaiming "bonjour!", "ciao!" and "bouno giorno principessa!" to anyone who would listen to me. instead I drove home. no one smiled at me. no one spat at me either. that's always a plus.
