I've been wanting to write, but have had nothing to say, for several days now. So today I've decided finally to give in and just write about the mundane. Then perhaps I'll run across the street to Flax, the overpriced art supply store, and browse their selection of journals because I fancy that I might find more frequent inspiration if I have an expensive book to store my brainspew in. And then, of course, I'll upload the brainspew here, resulting in a more frequently updated Anarchestra.

But first, the mundane.

I ordered a camera last week. My excitement is nearly uncontainable. So excited was I at the time of ordering that I paid extra to upgrade the shipping method and ensure that I receive it speedier than I would have otherwise. Then, later that evening, I ordered a 1GB Compact Flash memory card for my new camera. I ordered it from the same source, hoping I could combine the orders, but I couldn't. However, I did get free shipping on the memory card, so there was nothing to complain about. Both items would be shipped FeEx.

Moments ago, the doorbell rang. It was a FedEx delivery boy (shaved head, hairy muscular calves, but a pug-like face, slightly freakish) with a package I immediately recognized as the memory card, not my camera. So here I now sit, staring at my new 1GB Compact Flash memory card, with visions of 7.1 megapixels jeering at me, unnatainable. I hope it comes tomorrow.

Last week I received an email from a guy in Kuala Lumpur, inviting me to be a collaborator on a new Blog he'd created called Death Be Not Proud. Curious, but skeptical, I went to look at this new Blog, and doing so inadvertantly accepted his invitation. Suddenly, there I was listed as a co-author. So I posted an entry - why not? I emailed him, asking how and why he'd decided to invite me (among many other people, mind you). He responded that he thought it would be fun to create a collaborative Blog, and that the invitations were pretty random, but that he'd invited other people who had listed "Advertising" as their professions in their Blogger profiles. It will be interesting to see if anyone else participates. If you have thoughts of your own on death (the topic of the Blog), I will have him add you to the co-author list. Let me know.

So - I've decided I don't like my Blog template. Since I started mine, they've come up with newer, more attractive formats that I like better. I want to change mine. Change is hard for me - surprising to hear from a so-called liberal. I don't oppose change, but I find it difficult to upgrade the old and outdated. I'm one to start over, rather than retrofit.

I don't have a problem heating up leftovers, though. In fact, I sometimes prefer them to fresh dishes. I wonder if anyone's ever thought of opening a restaurant that just serves leftovers. I would eat at Leftover's all the time! They would serve all the dishes that, for whatever reason, are always better as leftovers: Leftover Spaghetti. Leftover Chili. Next-day Macaroni and Cheese. (Certain) Pizzas. Turkey Sandwiches. Mmmmmmm.

What other foods are always better as leftovers?
