repetition.

i think i ddint do anything stupid. i think victor took 4 carbombs in a row. i think i took 2 in a row. i think everyone left me and i think i ended up in union sq buying duane reade garbage bags for a short while. it's a proven public speaking tactic that repetition enforces ones point...."i have a dream" worked, so how about my version of "i think" to help myself remember the previous night.

it's getting hot.  so i've been pickling things more often.  before i left, i did a tuna olive oil marinade, a nuoc mam radish pickle, and a chinese radish cucumber soy pickle.  tastes generically good.  definitely good and tasty, but nothing out of the ordinary.  gonna play around with the sugar, vinegar combo some more.

yay for me!  i'm definitely not the "get mad" kind of friend if u don't hang out with me for stretches at time.  but this time, i get to see esther in HK.  lets see how you deal with me + will roaming around in asia.

trader banter - so i see 16 record highs for the nyse.  cnbc reported a 22% increase in billionaires. a korean/chinese trading tandem reported the opportunity cost of all the years without slavery.  and the new addition to the group litigated her theory on why NYC IS DIRTY.  hahahaha...."damn heugs"
