Star Wars

I've been reading about how the US Navy plans on shooting that troubled spy satellite out of the sky. I know we have some of the brightest minds in the world working on how this should all go down, but I'm feeling a little uneasy. Because of the "Bush factor", I'm just expecting something horrible to go wrong. We miss the satellite and it hits the international space station. Or we take a giant chunk of the moon out and the tides go nuts. Or we hit a UFO and next thing you know, it's War of the Worlds. So I guess what I'm saying is, I'm hoping for the best and expecting the worst. And what I'm suggesting is, stock on up on lots of toilet paper and canned goods.

A friend of mine at work has turned me on to international chocolates. My co-worker wasn't born here, and has always talked about how gross Hershey chocolate is. I guess when you grow up eating Hershey and Mars chocolate, you think it's pretty good. But now I realize that it's more of the nugat and the nuts that make those candies tasty and not the chocolate.

So this friend of mine gets these mysterious packages encased in dry ice from time to time. Shortly there after I usually find a small sampling of chocolates on my desk. I had one last week that contained Brazilian cacao, and I swear it was so good it made me hallucinate. And what's great about Brazilian chocolate is that it comes with a lovely yellow thong! Or maybe that's just the cacao talking. A lot of the really good chocolate has an insane amount of fat, so as with everything, eat it will moderation.
