For all I know, I'm snarveling right now....

1. Today I found a piece of paper where I'd written the word "snarvel" a long time ago. I have no idea what this means. It isn't a word, so what was I thinking? A name for a pet? A Jannapedia addition? An alien I tried flirting with after having too many Doritos? What?

2. I'm in a music-writing mood again. This time it's a quintet for cello, contrabass, acoustic guitar, electric guitar, and piano. Usually I write for much larger groups (wind symphony or orchestra), so you'd think this would be comparatively easier. Yet it's crawling at a snail's pace, perhaps because of the more personal emotion it contains.

3. For dinner I had pizza with pepperoni and habanero peppers. The hotter the better. Yum. Here, let me breathe some tasty fire onto your clothing. Or your relatives. Whichever you prefer.

4. Why do cashews taste so much better than peanuts when they look so similar? They're a little bigger and a little curlier, and yet they taste 83% better. It makes no sense.

5. I bought kitty litter today. I tried teaching my cats to poop solid gold, but they must have misunderstood. Clearly further training is needed.

That's funny. I know a friend who writes stuff down on little pieces of paper only to forget about them till sometime later. Then he has no clue as to what they're about.

You should train your cat to poop habenero flavored cashews... i like to call them snarvels! They are delicious!

Stanthrax: Is his name Snarvel?

Steve: In France they're probably a delicacy...

Stanthrax said...

Janna: No, but that would be a good nickname for him! :-)

Janna said...

Stanthrax: If it makes him famous, I expect 30% of the profits.
Ok, ok, 25%.

Snarveling doesn't sound like a good thing. I mean it's not like smiling oy laughing, is it? I think it's the sound you cat makes when it's pooping gold. And you would too.

nonamedufus: Snarveling sounds sort of like a cross between sniveling and unraveling. Neither sounds good, though I'd be more inclined to tolerate it if it gave me a few million dollars worth of gold.
I'll have to start feeding the cats extra fiber.
