| | I'm writing this xanga update but events conspire against me. The events of the day especially chose to conspire against any semblance of productivity which is sad when you are actually trying to be productive. I could tell you about them, but you would get bored. So I won't.
Other events that conspire against me: its late, my roommate is watching Pirates of the Caribbean, someone left a bag of chocolate covered popcorn at our door and it would be a waste not to enjoy such fine vegetables, if popcorn could be considered a vegetable.
Well let us examine this. An ear of corn is considered a vegetable. So if you shell the kernels off and cook them in water, they are still considered vegetables. If you take the kernels and mix them with other vegetables such as peas, carrots, and lima beans the kernels are still considered corn and still considered vegetables. So if you take certain kernels of corn and heat them in oil until they explode, wouldn't they still be considered vegetables? They contain the exact same ingredients as the pile of corn beside your mashed potatoes on your plate of food (that is if you happen to be eating a plate of food that contains mashed potatoes and a pile of cooked corn; if not just close your eyes and imagine you were, you might want to imagine some sort type of meat on your plate as well (unless you're a vegetarian)). They have been heated, but regular corn is also heated. I believe there is a solid case for considering popcorn as a vegetable. Some people may disagree but until someone can make a good case for the nonvegetablality of popcorn I will consider every serving of popcorn I eat to be a serving of vegetables. So there.
This past week was filled with interesting things. Christmas (of course). A bunch of time spent with good friends and family (and friends that could pass for family). An interesting instance of the Construction Game, during which I acquired a bunch of excavating equipment (or little stickers with pictures of said equipment) and an interesting nickname. But I will not put that nickname on xanga. So there.
Merry Christmas to all of you and may the Lord bless you with a happy and prosperous year (and good night).
