chocolate_chip_cookies ever dumbening i'm losing my mind. mostly this is a shitty thing, rest assured. i'm frozen with existential self-doubt, with fears great and small, the likes of which haven't plagued me for some time. however, the faulty wiring has produced at least one interesting result. i've loved cooking for a long time: give me a sautee pan and some spices and away we go. but i've never been much of an oven person (a fact which i've attributed to getting blasted by the heat as a child—as head-high was dead center for the inferno—helping my mom bake); and the few times i use the oven it's usually for fish, or roasting garlic. but this all seems to be changing. a couple weeks ago i grabbed some brownie mix at trader joe's (tasty) and fired that up. and tonight, i went to town on some jammin-ass triple c's. it's so great to see so many things that damn your body come together to create something that is such a blessing for the soul. and so i raise the holy host above me, and i pray to cookie monster: please release me from my demons (but allow me to keep this new habit). amen. 070802 ... jane cookie_monster was always my favorite, the hedonistic furry lump. anyway, j, i would love to hang out with you again soon. with no interruptions when i'm speaking :) 070802 ... jane cookie_pusher 070828 what's it to you? who go blather from
